The invention relates to means for printing on labels at a bottle labelling machine. The machine has glue applying means, a stack of labels and a label transfer station arranged about a circle, at least one pick-up element for the labels, a support for said pick-up element, means for rotating said support and thereby said pick-up element so that pick-up element successively receives glue, picks up a label and transfers it to another member for subsequent application to a bottle, and means for printing said labels prior to application to said bottles. In accordance with the invention the printing means comprises an inking element positioned between the glue applying means and the stack of labels. A roll having a stamp pad jacket transfers printing ink to the inking element and a brush is also provided to wipe the inking element after printing. Sun and planet gears are provided to cause appropriate pivoting of the various elements. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a labelling machine for objects, such as bottles, and having glue applying means, a stack of labels, and a label transfer station arranged about a circle, at least one pick-up element for the labels, a support for said pick-up element, means for rotating said support and thereby said pick-up element so the pick-up element successively receives glue, picks up a label and transfers it to another member for subsequent application to a bottle, and means for printing said labels prior to application to said bottles, the improvement wherein said printing means comprises an inking element positioned between the glue applying means and the stack of labels and touching the circle tangentially, and an ink receiving stamping element carried by said support behind each pick-up element, whereby upon rotation of said support said stamping element is inked and after a pick-up element removes a label from the stack the inked stamping element prints the next now-uppermost label in the stack.
2.
A labelling machine as set forth in claim 1, including a plurality of pick-up elements adjacent ones of which define a substantially triangular space therebetween, and a plurality of stamping elements respectively positioned in said triangular spaces.
3.
A labelling machine as set forth in claim 1, including a sun gear arranged coaxially with the support, and at least one planet gear meshing with said sun gear, said planet gear being axially connected with said stamping element, whereby upon rotation of said support said planet gear rotates thereby rotating said stamping element about its axis.
4.
A labelling machine as set forth in claim 1, wherein the inking element comprises a roll having an axis parallel with that of the support, the roll on its outer surface being designed as a stamp pad.
5.
A labelling machine as set forth in claim 1, including a cleaning element touching the circle tangentially and arranged between the stack of labels and the label transfer station so as to wipe the inking element after the latter has printed on the topmost label of the stack
