Device for generating and decoupling different movements in cleaning and sealing stations in ink printers

A device for generating and decoupling different movements in cleaning and sealing stations in ink printers, comprising:

• a motor-driven cam disk having two directions of rotation and a projecting, eccentrically arranged crank pin for generating a first movement,
• the motor-driven cam disk further having first and second cam paths which are offset relative to one another in a stepped manner and merge into one another at two locations on the cam disk;
• a running wheel guided by the cam paths and arranged in a resilient manner on the cam disk by a spring force for generating a second movement in a radial direction relative to the cam disk;
• and
• a switch tongue arranged on the cam disk so as to decouple the second movement from the first movement in one of the directions of rotation of the cam disk by controlling a rotating path of the running wheel around the cam disk as a function of the rotating direction of the motor-driven cam disk.
