An incentive-based grocery cart washing and disinfecting system including a consumer special-offer coupon applying apparatus, for use in a batch or continuous process comprising a housing having at least one pipe manifold with nozzles positioned therein to provide at least one treatment zone selected from pre-wash, wash, disinfecting, and rinse zones. In addition, blown air water-stripping/drying zones may be provided, with a heating source to assist drying. Following drying, a strip of specially adapted grocery coupons is optionally applied to the grocery cart handle, so that the coupons can be redeemed by customers during their subsequent shopping. The housing is generally a linear tunnel permitting access of soiled carts at one end and removal of the clean, disinfected carts at the other end. A cart pusher system may be employed to transport the carts through the tunnel either singly or in nested groups. A convenient antimicrobial disinfecting solution is a water solution of hypochlorite. A single zone system is disclosed in which in a selected, optionally preprogrammed, sequence of application of pre-wash, wash, rinse, and disinfecting fluids are delivered to selected surfaces of the cart, followed by blown air, preferably heated, for stripping/drying,. The coupon strip comprises a leader portion and a coupon portion, and the leader can be wrapped and fixed around the grocery cart handle manually or by means of the automated machinery described. The system of the invention may be a fixed or mobile system, with the use preferably being on site at stores.

An apparatus and method for printing and wrapping adhesive backed labels around elongate articles such as electrical wires, including a rotatable puck assembly having an interrupted circumferential surface defining an opening for receiving an elongate object to be labeled and wing members for applying said label during rotation.

This disclosure provides oil filling and labeling apparatuses for atomizers of electronic cigarettes, which include a rack provided with a table board. A material pick-up operation position, an oil filling operation position, an assembling operation position, a labeling operation position and a pressing operation position for silicon rubber sleeve are provided on the table board. The oil filling and labeling apparatuses for the atomizers of the electronic cigarettes further include a material loading mechanism, an oil filling mechanism, a mechanism for mounting oil-sealing ring, a mechanism for mounting end cap, an electric resistance detection mechanism, a first material rotation mechanism, a labeling mechanism, a second material rotation mechanism and a mechanism for pressing silicon rubber sleeve. The atomizer of the electronic cigarette is successively conveyed for processing among such mechanisms.

A system for use in manufacturing vapor-generating articles may include a rotatable drum that is configured to hold a plurality of the vapor-generating articles. The system may also include a tagging drum that is configured to tag a respective label to a housing of each of the vapor-generating articles. The system may also include a pressing roller that is configured to press a leading edge of the label against the housing after the tagging. The system may further include a rolling drum that is configured to roll the label around the housing after the pressing.

A tagger assembly has a tagger for affixing labels onto a lineal object binding a bale of agricultural crop material. The tagger having an input port for receiving the lineal object and an output port for evacuating the lineal object, and at least one retaining element for tensioning the lineal object, more particularly for tensioning the lineal object when it is raised from an initial position close to the bale to a raised position further away from the bale, for affixing a label.

A label applicator that prints and applies a label onto an elongated object, such as a wire. The label applicator includes a base assembly having an upper surface. A printer is fixed to the base assembly for printing indicia on a label to form a printed label. A label wrapper is fixed to the base assembly adjacent to the printer for receiving the printed label and an object. In operation, the printer feeds the printed label into the label wrapper to form slack in the label to remove tension from the label prior to the label wrapper wrapping the label onto the object.

An apparatus and method for wrapping adhesive backed labels around elongate articles, such as electrical wires including a rotatable puck assembly having an interrupted circumferential surface defining an opening for receiving an elongate object to be labeled and wing members for applying the label during rotation.

A method and kit are provided for labeling an object having a generally rounded outer surface, such as a cowboy lariat. The kit includes a label, substantially transparent heat-shrinkable tubing, and packaging suitable for storing, displaying, and distribution. Use of the invention is quick and efficient, providing a durable and easily recognizable label for imprinting an identifying mark thereon.

The invention provides a test tube bar code gluing machine, relates to a machine for gluing a label on a test tube, and aims to provide a test tube bar code gluing machine with simple structure, tidy gluing and high efficiency. The test tube bar code gluing machine comprises a frame and an execution part, wherein the execution part is arranged on the frame, and comprises a test tube clamping device, a test tube supporting device, a test tube rotating device and a bar code printing and gluing device; the test tube clamping device, the test tube supporting device, the test tube rotating device and the bar code printing and gluing device comprise a corresponding power part respectively; the power part drives the execution part to execute the following actions: a, the test tube supporting device executes or cancels axial support to the test tube, and adjusts the height of the test tube; b, the test tube clamping device executes or cancels clamping to the test tube; c, the test tube rotating device drives the test tube to circumferentially rotate; and d, the bar code printing and gluing device glues the bar code on the wall of the test tube.

A semi-automated system (100) suitable for use in a hospital setting for filling patient-specific liquid medication prescriptions from bulk medicine containers (104) into oral/enteral syringes (S) for administration on a just-in-time basis. The system enables hospital pharmacists to simplify and streamline their task, increasing the number of prescriptions that can be filled in a day, improving patient safety and care by minimizing medication errors and the consequences that ensue.

A hand-carried taping machine for taping an elongated object is disclosed. The machine includes a powered gear set operably coupled to a body and powered by a drive system. An applicator head includes a substantially C-shaped gear in meshing engagement with the powered gear set such that the substantially C-shaped gear rotates about an application axis under control of the drive system, and a tape reel mount for rotatably mounting a reel of tape on the substantially C-shaped gear for rotation about the application axis and application of the tape to the elongated object. A non-powered guide system operably couples to the body for guiding the applicator head along the elongated object with transient engagement with the elongated object such that the elongated object is maintained in a vicinity of the reel of tape.

The invention discloses a semi-automatic wire twisting device for equal length parallel twisting of electric heating wires, which comprises a head wire releasing unit, a tail wire twisting unit and asystem controller. The head wire releasing unit is used for automatic retraction, automatic tensioning and automatic labeling after wire releasing of electric heating wires, and comprises an automaticwire releasing mechanism, an adaptive tensioning mechanism, an automatic labeling mechanism and a first bench. The automatic wire releasing mechanism, the adaptive tensioning mechanism and the automatic labeling mechanism are sequentially installed on a table surface of a table frame. The tail wire twisting unit arranged in parallel with the head wire releasing unit is used for automatic mutual-twisting, self-twisting prevention and length automatic adjustment of the electric heating wires. The system controller is connected with the head wire releasing unit and the tail wire twisting unit, and is used for controlling the head wire releasing unit and the tail wire twisting unit to complete automatic retraction, automatic tensioning, automatic labeling after automatic parallel twisting, automatic mutual twisting, self-twisting prevention and automatic length adjustment of the electric heating wires.
