A test tube labeling apparatus including a seating portion for test tubes; a rotation driving unit that rotates the seating portion; a rotatably fixed contact sensor that detects contact with a test tube seated in the seating portion; an angle sensor for measuring rotation angle information of the rotation driving unit; a label attaching device; and a processor, wherein the contact sensor generates a contact signal when the test tube contacts the contact sensor, the angle sensor generates rotation angle information of a rotation angle of the rotation driving unit, the processor receives the rotation angle information, identifies outer diameter information of the test tube, identifies the test tube by comparing the identified outer diameter information with the test tube identification information, identifies the labeling information corresponding to the identified test tube, and controls the labeling apparatus so that a label is attached to the identified test tube.

A pharmaceutical dispenser includes a conveyor including a receiving end for receiving an article to be labelled, a discharge end for discharging the article after the article has been labelled into a dispensing container, a label applicator for attaching at least part of a label to the article whilst the article travels on the conveyor, and a resiliently deformable object for forcing at least part of the at least partially attached label onto the article. The dispensing container receives the article, as the article falls under a force of gravity from the conveyor at its discharge end into the dispensing container. The conveyor includes a dispensing opening in a front side of the pharmaceutical dispenser through which the article is accessible and removable from the dispensing container.

This invention relates to a labelling apparatus (1) and method for labelling different shapes, sizes and material types of packaging (3, 36) such as cardboard or plastics material boxes, plastics or other material bottles and sachets all containing medicaments being dispensed. The labelling apparatus (1) includes a conveyor means (4) having a receiving end for receiving an article (3, 36) to be labelled from a chute (2) and a discharge end for discharging the article (3, 36) once labelled to a receiving container (9), a label applicator (15) for attaching a label (29) to the article and a label securing means (25) for securely forcing the label (29) onto the article.

A sleeve labeling machine has a work platform, a feeding unit, a conveying unit, a sleeve labeling device and a hot drying device. The feeding unit holds objects to be sleeved with labels. The conveying unit conveys the objects provided by feeding unit. The sleeve labeling device has a first guiding wheel assembly, a second guiding wheel assembly and a rotary cutter assembly. The first guiding wheel assembly and the second guiding wheel assembly guide the label to a predetermined position, the rotary cutter assembly cuts the label at the predetermined position into a first segment label and a second segment label, and before the second segment label is sleeved to the objects, the second guiding wheel assembly guides the second segment label to move, so that the first and second segment labels have a segment gap therebetween. The hot drying device performs a hot drying shrinkage operation.

A device for manually applying a label on a predetermined object includes a first receptacle configured to receive and hold the label and a second receptacle configured to receive and hold the object in a predetermined position in relation to the first receptacle. The second receptacle is adjacent to the first receptacle and has a window opening onto the first receptacle in such a way that it is possible to apply the label wholly or partially on the object.
