Abstract
An in-mold label dispenser for a blow molding machine having a dispensing head mounted on a base for movement along a first path from adjacent a label magazine to between the open sections of a mold. The label carrier is mounted on the dispensing head for movement along a second path substantially transverse to the first path from a retracted to an extended position. A drive mechanism is mounted in the base for moving the dispensing head along the first path and the label carrier along the second path in co-ordination with the opening of the mold. An adjustable stop assembly is provided on the label carrier for stopping movement of the label carrier along the second path after the label carrier has moved a sufficient distance into the mold section to establish a gap of predetermined width between the label and the wall of the mold cavity.
