  • the object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of the film itself and the cost of its disposal and to reduce the volume of ink in the ink fountain.
  • the object is achieved in that the two closure pieces are connected by a cross member that limits the ink space relative to the ink fountain roller and that the elastic film is attached to the cross member.
  • the width of the film can be significantly reduced, so that the costs for this are reduced.
  • there is correspondingly less material for disposal so that this also results in cost savings. Due to the limited ink space, an order change can be carried out faster and the ink fountain roller is constantly fed with fresh printing ink. The filling of the paint and the control of the fill level are also favorably influenced.
  • a clamping strip for clamping the elastic film is arranged on the cross member.

Abstract

The ink box (1) has an ink dosing device (3) with dosing elements (2) which can be set for zonally difference ink clearance thicknesses against an ink box roll (5). The dosing elements are covered in elastic foil (4) and have locking pieces (7) closing off the ink cavity (6) at the endface on both sides. The two locking pieces are connected by a traverse (8) which bounds the ink cavity opposite the ink box roll. The elastic foil is fixed to the traverse by a clamping bar (9). The locking pieces can be released to enable the complete unit to be taken out for cleaning.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Farbkasten für Offset- oder Hochdruckmaschinen, mit einer Farbdosiereinrichtung mit auf zonal unterschiedliche Farbspaltdicken zu einer Farbkastenwalze einstellbaren Dosierelementen, die von einer elastischen Folie überdeckt sind und mit Verschlußstücken, die beiderseits stirnseitig den Farbraum abschließen.The invention relates to an ink fountain for offset or high-pressure machines, with an ink metering device with metering elements that can be adjusted to zonal different ink gap thicknesses to form an ink fountain roller, which are covered by an elastic film and with closure pieces that close off the ink space on both sides.

Bei einer bekannten Ausführung dieser Art (DE 26 48 098 C3) überdeckt die elastische Folie die Dosierelemente und den Farbkasten über seine ganze Breite, so daß die eingefüllte Druckfarbe auch bei ihrem höchsten Stand nicht unter die Folie gelangen kann. Die Folie selbst läßt sich auf einfache Weise austauschen, muß jedoch nach ihrer Verwendung als Sondermüll entsorgt werden.In a known version of this type (DE 26 48 098 C3) the elastic film covers the metering elements and the ink fountain over its entire width, so that the filled printing ink cannot get under the film even at its highest level. The film itself can be easily replaced, but must be disposed of as special waste after use.

Die Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, die Kosten der Folie ansich und die Kosten für deren Entsorgung zu verringern und das Farbvolumen im Farbkasten zu verkleinern.The object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of the film itself and the cost of its disposal and to reduce the volume of ink in the ink fountain.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die beiden Verschlußstücke durch eine Traverse verbunden sind, die den Farbraum gegenüber der Farbkastenwalze begrenzt und daß die elastische Folie an der Traverse befestigt ist. Durch diese Lösung läßt sich die Breite der Folie wesentlich reduzieren, so daß die Kosten hierfür vermindert werden. Außerdem fällt entsprechend weniger Material für die Entsorgung an, so daß auch hierdurch eine Kosteneinsparung entsteht. Durch den begrenzten Farbraum läßt sich ein Auftragswechsel schneller durchführen und der Farbkastenwalze wird ständig frische Druckfarbe zugeführt. Auch das Einfüllen der Farbe und die Kontrolle des Füllstandes wird hierdurch günstig beeinflußt.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the two closure pieces are connected by a cross member that limits the ink space relative to the ink fountain roller and that the elastic film is attached to the cross member. With this solution, the width of the film can be significantly reduced, so that the costs for this are reduced. In addition, there is correspondingly less material for disposal, so that this also results in cost savings. Due to the limited ink space, an order change can be carried out faster and the ink fountain roller is constantly fed with fresh printing ink. The filling of the paint and the control of the fill level are also favorably influenced.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist an der Traverse eine Klemmleiste zum Festklemmen der elastischen Folie angeordnet. Hiermit ist ein Wechseln der Folie in kürzester Zeit möglich und nach dem Entleeren des Farbraums lassen sich die beiden Verschlußstücke mit der Traverse und der daran befestigten Folie leicht aus dem Farbkasten entnehmen und mit einer neuen Folie versehen. Hierdurch wird die Handhabung erleichtert und die Reinigungsarbeit, z. B. beim Farbwechsel, wesentlich verkürzt.In an advantageous embodiment, a clamping strip for clamping the elastic film is arranged on the cross member. This makes it possible to change the film in the shortest possible time and after emptying the color space, the two closure pieces with the traverse and the film attached to them can be easily removed from the paint box and provided with a new film. This makes handling easier and the cleaning work, e.g. B. when changing colors, significantly shortened.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawings.

Es zeigt:

einen Querschnitt durch den Farbkasten,
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf den Farbkasten.
It shows:
Fig. 1
a cross section through the ink fountain,
Fig. 2
a top view of the ink fountain.

Der Farbkasten 1 ist über seine Länge mit einer Vielzahl zonenbreiten Dosierelementen 2 versehen, die von Farbdosiereinrichtungen 3 steuerbar sind. Die Dosierelemente 2 sind über eine elastische Folie 4 gegenüber einer Farbkastenwalze 5 auf unterschiedliche Farbspaltdicken einstellbar. An beiden Stirnseiten ist der Farbraum 6 von Verschlußstücken 7 begrenzt, die gegenüber der Farbkastenwalze 5 abgedichtet sind. Beide Verschlußstücke sind durch eine Traverse 8 fest miteinander verbunden, die den Farbraum 6 gegenüber der Farbkastenwalze 5 so begrenzt, daß nur ein relativ geringer Farbvorrat zum Einsatz kommt. Die beiden Verschlußstücke 7 mit der Traverse 8 sind in bekannter Weise am Farbkasten 1 befestigt.The ink fountain 1 is provided over its length with a large number of zone-wide metering elements 2, which are controllable by ink metering devices 3. The metering elements 2 can be adjusted to different ink gap thicknesses by means of an elastic film 4 in relation to an ink fountain roller 5. The ink space 6 is delimited on both ends by closure pieces 7 which are sealed off from the ink fountain roller 5. Both closure pieces are firmly connected to one another by a crossmember 8, which limits the ink space 6 with respect to the ink fountain roller 5 so that only a relatively small ink supply is used. The two closure pieces 7 with the cross member 8 are fastened to the ink fountain 1 in a known manner.

Die elastische Folie 4 wird zwischen Farbkasten 1 und Traverse 8 hindurchgeführt und auf der dem Farbraum 6 gegenüberliegenden Seite mittels einer Klemmleiste 9 an der Traverse 8 festgeklemmt. Hierdurch wird mit Sicherheit ein Austreten der Druckfarbe aus dem Farbraum 6 verhindert. Auf beiden Seiten erstreckt sich die elastische Folie 4 bis unter die Verschlußstücke 7, so daß auch hier eine sichere Abdichtung des Farbraumes gewährleistet ist. Nach Lösen der Befestigung der beiden Verschlußstücke 7 läßt sich die komplette Einheit bestehend aus beiden Verschlußstücken 7, Traverse 8, Folie 4 und Klemmleiste 9 auf einfache Weise aus der Maschine entfernen, so daß Reinigungsarbeiten oder Folienwechsel auch außerhalb der Maschine durchgeführt werden können. Hierzu kann der Farbkasten 1 nach dem Entleeren der Farbe in bekannter Weise von der Farbkastenwalze 5 abgeschwenkt werden. Zum Dichtstellen der beiden Verschlußstücke 7, lassen sich diese an die Farbkastenwalze 5 anstellen.The elastic film 4 is passed between the ink fountain 1 and crossbar 8 and on the color space 6 opposite side clamped to the crossbar 8 by means of a clamping strip 9. This reliably prevents the printing ink from escaping from the color space 6. On both sides, the elastic film 4 extends below the closure pieces 7, so that a secure sealing of the color space is also ensured here. After loosening the fastening of the two closure pieces 7, the complete unit consisting of two closure pieces 7, traverse 8, foil 4 and clamping strip 9 can be removed from the machine in a simple manner, so that cleaning work or foil changes can also be carried out outside the machine. For this purpose, the ink fountain 1 can be pivoted away from the ink fountain roller 5 in a known manner after the ink has been emptied. To seal the two closure pieces 7, they can be placed on the ink fountain roller 5.
