Abstract
An inking or damping unit is provided for rotary printing machines in which a metering roller and transfer roller are in contra-rotating contact under pressure and a liquid feed with a self-regulating level is disposed above and between the rollers. Zonal liquid transfer is made by way of intermediate zone rollers arranged closely together side by side on a carrier tube and eccentrically movable thereon such that the intermediate rollers accurately transfer the liquid from the transfer roller to a following machine roller.
Claims7
An inking or damping unit for use with rotary printing machines including a metering roller and a transfer roller in contra-rotating contact above the metering roller and the transfer roller so that a film of liquid which is substantially uniform over the entire roller width is produced at the roller nip outlet, said rollers being followed by at least one other machine roller, and a plurality of zone rollers eccentrically mounted side by side on a carrier tube and selectively movable between the transfer roller and said following machine roller for the purpose of zonally metering the film of liquid, characterized in that an electric coil with a magnet core is provided on the carrier tube within the width of each zone roller, bearing means are mounted on the carrier tube, an eccentrically apertured middle part of the zone roller is mounted pivotably on the bearing means, and the middle part has a free space in the region of the magnet core to permit eccentric pivoting of the zone roller.
