The bonding apparatus includes a belt for feeding a label continuum (10) in which labels have been continuously formed. The label continuum fed by the belt is cut to a predetermined length to obtain a label strip by a cutter. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on a rear surface of the label strip. The label strip obtained by the cutting operation of the cutter is fed by a belt having a label-contact surface not easily bonded to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The label strip is fed to a bonding position with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer thereof lightly bonded to the label-contact surface of the belt. The label strip fed by the belt is pressed against an object by a bonding roller serving and bonded thereto.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Apparatus for bonding a label of a label continuum to an object comprising:a first feeding means for feeding the label continuum along a first feeding path;a cutting means downstream of said first feeding means, said cutting means cutting the label continuum fed by the first feeding means completely through the entire thickness of the label continuum to thereby separate the label continuum into a plurality of separated label strips;a second feeding means downstream of said cutting means for receiving said label strips and for feeding said label strips at spaced intervals along a second generally linear feeding path;said label continuum along with the labels strips having an underlying adhesive surface, said adhesive surface contacting and being adhesively adhered to said first and second feeding means and thereby preventing curling of said label continuum and said label strips on said first and second feeding means, said label continuum being released from said adhesive adherence to said first feeding means so that said label continuum releasibly passes off of said first feeding means to said cutter means where the label continuum is cut into said plurality of separated strips which then pass onto said second feeding means where said separated strips are adhesively adhered to said second feeding means;object feeding means for feeding objects along an object feeding path; andlabel bonding means for sequentially bonding said label strips to said objects, said bonding means being disposed downstream of said second feeding means, said plurality of separated strips being released from said adhesive adherence to said second feeding means so that said plurality of separated strips releasibly passes off said second feeding means to said label bonding means, said bonding means being operable to sequentially press the label strips onto the objects on said object feeding means.
