The invention relates to a device for cleaning the ink roller of a printing press. There are two embodiments. There is an ink pan and cleaning blade assembly. The cleaning blade is adapted to engage the ink roller to clean the same. There are mounting brackets attached to the press frame. There are angle brackets which include saddles adapted to receive flanges on the ink pan and cleaning blade assembly. There are locking levers on the angle brackets having use and non-use positions. When in use the locking lever cooperates with the saddles to lock the ink pan and cleaning blade assembly in position on the angle bracket. When not in use the locking lever is maintained in an out-of-the-way position. There are cam means which cause movement of the angle bracket and hence the ink and pan cleaning blade assembly so that the cleaning blade can contact or not contact the ink roller, as desired. In one embodiment the cam means causes movement of the angle bracket through a plurality of levers which form with the ink pan and cleaning blade assembly a parallelogram-like structureso that the cleaning blade moves linearly into engagement with the ink roller. In the other embodiment the angle bracket is pivotally attached to mounting plate and the cam directly engages the angle bracket to cause pivotal movement of the cleaning blade into engagement with the ink roller.
