Definitions

  • INK P APPQRATUS FOR PRINTING PRESSES ABSTRACT This invention provides an ink duct apparatus 6 Clams 3 Drawmg for printing presses.
  • the ink duct is mounted in the side [52] US. Cl 101/363, frames of the printing press adjacent ink rollers which are also 101/350 mounted therein.
  • the sidewalls of the ink duct are in ink tight [51] Int. Cl B411 31/06 contact with the roller.
  • Each ink duct is equipped with an ink Field of Search 101/350, knife.
  • the ink duct may be swung away from and toward the ink roller about an axle that is parallel to the axle of the ink roller.
  • the primary object of this invention is to provide an ink duct apparatus which may be easily and conveniently moved from an operating condition to a cleaning position and provide sufficient accessibility to all parts of the apparatus and the ink roller.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an ink duct that swings into a working position without the aid of additional support means for the ink knife.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a conveniently adjustable stop block which may be pivoted into or out of operating position so that the ink knife is in contact with the ink roller or out of contact with the ink roller for the purpose of cleaning.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide an ink duct apparatus having a swinging ink duct axle providing the pivoting mechanism for positioning the ink knife withrespect to the ink roller mounted in the side frames on the printing press.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide an ink duct apparatus which reduces the required special equipment for operation to an absolute minimum and thereby provide an extremely simple operation from an operating to a cleaning position and vice versa.
  • the ink duct apparatus of this invention is provided adjacent the ink roller in the side frames of the printing press.
  • the sidewalls of the ink duct are pivoted to a block which is in turn pivoted to a rocker arm,
  • the rocker arm is pivoted to the ink roller axle.
  • the block is locked on a conveniently adjustable stop located on the sidewall of the ink duct.
  • the stop is located in a position beyond the dead center or provided with a click mechanism which looks the block into lace.
  • the pivoting mechanism used to swing the ink duct axle with respect to the ink roller axle includes a quadrilateral link crank control.
  • the link crank control includes a rocker arm and a block having suitable connections while the sidewall of the ink duct itself is used as a second rocker arm.
  • a rotating and fixable eccentric bolt is used as a hinge between the block and the rocker arm.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top plan view, partially in cross section, and as viewed in the direction of arrow I in FIG. 2 of an ink duct made in accordance with this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the ink duct showing both the operating position and the open, cleaning position, and
  • FIG. 3 is a front view partially in cross section and as viewed in the direction of arrow III in FIG. 2, of the ink duct.
  • An ink duct roller 1 is mounted in the side frames of a printing press by way of the two journals 2 in a manner not specifically shown.
  • the roller 1 is driven in a way well known in the prior art'such as by use of a pawl and a pawl wheel, neither of which are shown.
  • the ink roller 1 is tightly positioned in an ink duct 4 by way of the ink duct sidewalls 5. This keeps the ink from running between the parts.
  • An ink knife.3 is mounted in the ink duct 4.
  • the ink duct 4 and the ink roller 1. are revolvably mounted upon a stationary axle 6.
  • a block 7 is pivotally mounted on a bolt 9 located on each of the sidewalls 5.
  • the blocks 7 are pivotally mounted at the other end thereof on a bolt l 3 located on rocker arms 8.
  • the rocker arms 8 are pivoted to the journals 2 of the ink duct roller 1 by way of needle bearings 14.
  • the rocker arms 8 are secured against axial shifting by way of the tightening rings 15.
  • Handles 10 are fixedly mounted onto the blocks 7.
  • the resetting of the ink duct 4 with respect to the ink roller 1 is accomplished by reversing the swinging of the apparatus as described hereinabove.
  • the inner end of block 7 comes in contact with a setscrew 11 on a stop 12 which is mounted on the ink duct sidewall 5.
  • the set screw 11 is adjusted so that the joint 13 swings beyond the dead center with respect to the joint bolt 9.
  • This spring pressure locks the said ink knife into contact with the said ink roller 1 as shown in FIG. 2. It is obvious that other locking mechanisms may be used in place of the spring pressure e.g. a click mechanism which holds the ink knife in position with respect to ink roller 1.
  • the bolt 13 carries a cam 13' which ismounted in the block 7.
  • the angular position of the rocker arm 8 is fixed between the shoulder of the cam 13' and a clamping nut 13" when the length of the block 7 is adjusted to position the ink knife 3 in a locked position with regard to the ink roller 1.
  • An ink duct apparatus for a printing press comprising, in combination:
  • said ink duct including sidewalls in ink proof tight contact with the shoulders of said ink roller, an ink knife fixedly mounted between said ink duct sidewalls, and a stop means mounted on said sidewalls to limit the movement of said ink duct with respect to said pivoted means;
  • said pivoted means including one end of a rocker arm pivoted to each end of an ink roller axle, a block means eccentrically pivoted to the other end of said rocker arm at one end of said block means, said block means being pivoted at a location between the ends thereof to a pivot point mounted on said ink duct sidewall, said block means further being limited in rotational movement by said stop means; and
