Patent

CA 2601911

An apparatus and method of using same is provided which includes the use of an apparatus configured to scan and apply labels to parcels moving along a conveyor belt. The apparatus of the present invention includes first and second adjacent conveyors positioned with a gap there between, the gap being sufficiently narrow to allow passage of parcels from the first conveyor to the second conveyor. Parcels crossing the gap are exposed to a reading device having a reading axis passing upwardly through the gap to read indicia. The labels, which are scanned and decoded, provide information which is subsequently sent to a printing device which prints a "second" label which is blown or otherwise transferred to a second side of the parcel. The parcel then exits the second conveyor to be sorted downstream by use of the second label.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé d'utilisation de ce dernier selon lequel on utilise un appareil configuré pour scanner des paquets et appliquer des étiquettes sur les paquets qui se déplacent sur une courroie transporteuse. L'appareil de l'invention comprend une première et une seconde courroie transporteuse adjacentes, séparées par un espace suffisamment étroit pour permettre le passage des paquets de la première courroie transporteuse sur la seconde courroie transporteuse. Les paquets qui traversent l'espace précité sont exposés à un dispositif de lecture dont l'axe de lecture traverse l'espace vers le haut pour lire les marques. Les étiquettes, qui sont scannées et décodées, fournissent des informations qui sont ensuite envoyées à un dispositif d'impression qui imprime une "seconde" étiquette qui est soufflée ou transférée de toute autre manière sur un second côté du paquet.Le paquet quitte alors la seconde courroie transporteuse pour être trié en aval au moyen de la seconde étiquette.
