Abstract

A labeling apparatus (10) is described with the aid of which labels can be imprinted and/or dispensed. The apparatus comprises a housing (12) in which a transport means for a label strip is disposed. The label strip runs in the apparatus (10) from a supply roll (26) round a deflection edge (32), then along a housing bottom (30) adapted to be pivoted out of the housing (12) to a transport roll carried by the housing bottom (30) and pivotal about an axis (52) to an exit slot, a drive connection existing between the transport roll (38) and an operating lever (16) pivotal between a rest position and a pulled position. The drive connection includes a rack (50) which is in engagement with a pinion (54) mounted on the shaft (52) of the transport roll (38) and is articulately connected to one arm (48) of a two-armed pivot lever (46) which is pivotal about an axis (44) stationary with respect to the axis ( 52) of the transport wheel (38). The two arms (42, 48) of the pivot lever (46) are arranged in the pivot path of the operating lever (16) in such a manner that on pivoting thereof a movement transmission to the arm (42) of the two-armed pivot lever (46) takes place while on return of the operating lever (16) into its rest position a transmission from the operating lever (16) to the other arm (48) of the pivot lever (42) takes place.
