Abstract
Abstract A labeling machine for handling upright containers, such as bottles or cans, and having a bottle input conveyor, a bottle output conveyor, a label-applying mechanism, variable speed drive, sensors at the input and output conveyors, a container stop at the input conveyor and control mechanism subject to the sensors to actuate said stop and said variable speed drive to stop containers coming into the machine and reduce machine speed when the sensors respectively sense a deficiency of containers at the machine input and/or an accumulation of containers at the machine output.
