METHOD OF SEPARATING A LABEL FROM AN ADJACENT LABEL IN A STACK OF PILANT GRAMMOPHONE RECORD LABELS IN AN AUTOMATIC, REPEATED OPERATION AND APPARATUS FOR BRINGING THE METHOD INTO PRACTICE

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREAn apparatus is provided for separating asingle outermost label from a stack of labels mountedon a centrally disposed shaft in a magazine. Theapparatus utilizes a pair of friction members diametricallyopposed from said shaft and containing respectivefriction engaging elements which are caused to reciprocallymove into a position where the friction engaging elementsdoggingly engage the outermost label of the stack andmove toward one another thereby causing the outermostlabel to slide and bend outward from the next adjacentlabel in the stack. Included in the apparatus is anadjustable camming mechanism for varying the points atwhich the friction engaging elements contact theoutermost label of the stack.
