In an injection mould, a plastic injection-moulded product is manufactured. The plastic injection-moulded product comprises a tubular body, a neck part and a head part. The injection mould comprises three mould parts, which are displaceable with respect to each other between a closed position and an open position. The first mould part comprises a first mould cavity for producing the neck part and the head part. The second mould part comprises a second mould cavity for producing the tubular body. The third mould part comprises a core body. In the open position, a neck label is arranged in the first mould cavity of the first mould part and a peripheral label is arranged in the second mould part. Subsequently, the mould parts are moved to the closed position to form a closed mould cavity. By supplying plastic, the plastic injection-moulded product is produced. The labels are integrally formed in the plastic injection-moulded product (“in-mould labelling”).

Methods and structures are shown for a variety of ways to arrange a label in a mould cavity. One is a method for arranging a label in a mould cavity of a mould, which mould cavity is delimited by an internal peripheral surface that defines a first axial axis of the mould cavity, the method comprising: providing a mandrel having a peripheral wall that defines an axial direction and a peripheral direction, wherein the peripheral wall further defines a second axial axis, the peripheral wall being provided with: a peripheral part having a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a part of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, and a non-convex part that extends in the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the mandrel, arranging the label around the peripheral wall of the mandrel, which label comprises a first side edge part and a second side edge part, in which the label is arranged around the peripheral wall of the mandrel in such a manner that the second side edge part overlaps the first side edge part viewed in the peripheral direction of the mandrel at a location of the non-convex part of the peripheral wall of the mandrel, introducing the mandrel with the label arranged around the peripheral wall thereof into the mould cavity, transferring the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, wherein the mandrel and the mould are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner during transfer of the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, that the first axial axis of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity and the second axial axis of the peripheral wall of the mandrel are eccentric with respect to one another.

A device for removing a ring-shaped label (40) from a pack of substantially identical, abutting ring-shaped labels (40) comprises a pickup head (45) which is provided with a stop surface (46) and retaining means (60) for holding a ring-shaped label (40) against the stop surface (46). The device comprises a storage holder (44) for accommodating the pack of ring-shaped labels (40). A displacement device can displace the pack of ring-shaped labels from a storage position, in which the pack of ring-shaped labels is situated at a distance from the stop surface of the pick-up head, to a discharge position, in which the pack of ring-shaped labels is pushed against the stop surface of the pick-up head by means of an outer ring-shaped label. A blast of air is delivered when the outer ring-shaped label is held against the stop surface of the pick-up head, so that the adjacent ring-shaped label is blown off the outer ring-shaped label.

Abrégé

A method for arranging a label in a mould cavity of a mould, which mould cavity is delimited by an internal peripheral surface which determines a first axial axis of the mould cavity, comprises providing a mandrel with a peripheral wall which determines an axial direction and a peripheral direction. The peripheral wall determines a second axial axis. The peripheral wall is provided with a peripheral part having a shape which substantially corresponds to the shape of a part of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity. The peripheral wall comprises a non-convex part which extends in the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the mandrel. The label is arranged around the peripheral wall of the mandrel. The label comprises a first side edge part and a second side edge part. Arranging the label around the peripheral wall of the mandrel is accomplished in such a manner that the second side edge part, viewed in the peripheral direction of the mandrel, overlaps the first side edge part at the non-convex part of the peripheral wall of the mandrel. The mandrel with the label arranged around the peripheral wall thereof is introduced into the mould cavity. The label is transferred from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity. The mandrel and the mould are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner during transfer of the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity that the first axial axis of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity and the second axial axis of the peripheral wall of the mandrel are eccentric with respect to one another.
