Abstract

A labelling machine is for bottles, or the like, and includes a rotatable drive shaft. The drive shaft has an axis of rotation and includes at least one radially extending surface which is disposed at a predetermined location axially on the drive shaft. The labelling machine includes at least one glue segment having a curved glue take-up surface. The glue segment includes a hole for receipt of the drive shaft within the hole. The glue segment is for being disposed within the hole receiving the drive shaft and for rotation with the drive shaft. The glue segment includes an axial bore having a longitudinal axis. The hole includes a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the bore is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the hole and with the axis of the drive shaft when the drive shaft is disposed within the hole. A bushing includes a bases element and a spacing element. The base element of the bushing is for being disposed in the bore of the glue segment. The spacing element of the bushing is for extending outwardly from the bore in an axial direction toward a radially extending surface. The spacing element includes an abutting surface for making contact with the radially extending surface and for defining an axial position of the glue segment relative to the predetermined location of the radially extending surface of the drive shaft. An additional, similar glue segment can be installed on the shaft with the spacing element of the additional glue segment being used to establish a predetermined location on the shaft relative the other glue segment.
