Abstract
A device for controlling delivery of an amount of fluid has a first rotating device having at least one peripheral first fluid transfer section, a second rotating device having at least one peripheral second fluid transfer section, and a device for setting a phase between the first and second fluid transfer sections. The device may be used for providing ink or dampening solution in a printing press.
Claims32
A device for controlling delivery of an amount of fluid comprising:
- a first rotating device having at least one peripheral first fluid transfer section;
- a second rotating device having at least one peripheral second fluid transfer section;
- and
- a device for setting a phase between the first and second fluid transfer sections.
An inking device for controlling delivery of an amount of ink comprising:
- a first rotating device having at least one first peripheral ink transfer section;
- a second rotating device having at least one second peripheral ink transfer section;
- and
- a device for setting a phase between the first and second ink transfer sections.
A dampening device for controlling delivery of an amount of dampening solution comprising:
- a first rotating device having at least one first peripheral dampening solution transfer section;
- a second rotating device having at least one second peripheral dampening solution transfer section;
- and
- a device for setting a phase between the first and second dampening solution sections.
A method for controlling delivery of an amount of fluid comprising the steps of:
- providing a fluid to a first rotating device having at least one peripheral first fluid transfer section;
- transferring at least a portion of the fluid to a second rotating device having at least one peripheral second fluid transfer section;
- and
- controlling the portion through setting of the phase between the first and second fluid transfer sections.
