The present disclosure relates to a label-placement module having a first feeder assembly, including a horizontal delivery platter for receiving a label, and a first drive wheel, positioned adjacent to a distal end of the horizontal delivery platter and rotatable to move the label on the horizontal delivery platter in a first direction. The label-placement module may include a second feeder assembly coupled to an actuator that moves the second feeder assembly vertically to a delivery position associated with the container. The second feeder assembly having a vertical delivery platter for receiving the label from the horizontal delivery platter and a second drive wheel rotatable to move the label forward in the first direction towards the container such that at least a portion of the label may be clamped between the container and a lid of the container thereby attaching the label to the container.

A rotating drum for use in manufacturing vapor-generating articles may include a drum body. A plurality of grooves may be disposed in an outer face of the drum body. A seat may be tractably-mounted in each one of the plurality of grooves. The seat may include a seat groove that is structured and arranged to receive and hold a rigid casing of a vapor-generating article. The seat may be composed of a material that is softer than a material of the rigid casing.

A system for applying labels to cable or conduit including at least one label and a label applicator. The label applicator including at least one guide roller, at least one tamping device comprising at least one tamping pad for applying at least one label onto the moving cable or conduit, and a guide shoe assembly. The guide shoe assembly comprises a guide shoe, the guide shoe comprises a rounding member, a plurality of springs for providing flexibility to the rounding member when the moving cable or conduit passes the at least one guide shoe, a support mount for supporting the at least one guide shoe, a plurality of pivots disposed between the rounding member and the rounding member support for adjusting the set of springs, and a fitted member for providing an anchor for the at least one guide shoe to connect with the support mount.

The present disclosure relates to a label attaching apparatus comprising a mounting base; an attaching plate having a first end which is connected to a first position on the mounting base and a second end which is a free end and provided with a label attaching unit; and a driving cylinder including a cylinder body and a piston rod retractable and extendable relative to the cylinder body, the cylinder body being connected to a second position on the mounting base, a distal end of the piston rod opposite to the cylinder body being connected to the attaching plate between the first and second ends of the attaching plate, wherein the first end of the attaching plate is hingedly connected onto the mounting base so that an orientation of the label attaching unit is able to be changed by the movement of the piston rod. With the label attaching apparatus, because an inclined angle of the attaching plate relative to a vertical direction can be changed through the forth and back movement of the piston rod, this inclining adsorbing structure can adjust an angle of the attaching plate according to a bend degree of a label, thereby an attaching angle can be adjusted at a larger extend, so that the label is easily attached with the attaching plate when being adsorbed by the attaching plate, which improves an attaching efficiency of the label.
