Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink fountain blade for printing machine whose edge is intended to maintain an ink thickness determined on an inkwell cylinder, said blade being divided into several adjacent sectors and movable to vary the distance between the edge of the blade and the circumference of the inkwell cylinder.
  • the present invention also relates to an inkwell for printing machine, said inkwell comprising a cylinder inkwell, a blade-shaped bottom whose ridge is close circumference cylinder of the inkwell, and two walls lateral contact with the bottom of the inkwell and ensuring the lateral sealing of the inkwell.
  • blades and inkwells are used mainly in intaglio printing machines in which the amount of ink that is applied to the cylinder inkwell is important to properly ink sizes of printing plates.
  • the DD 110 patent 632 shows an inkwell whose bottom has a blade which is close to the circumference of the inkwell cylinder.
  • the blade is elastically deformed by screws that apply against the blade, on the other side of this one with respect to the inkwell cylinder.
  • the blade of the inkwell is formed by several adjacent lamellae that can be elastically deformed in order to modify the thickness of the ink applied to the cylinder of the inkwell.
  • This system has several disadvantages, including fact that the deformation of the lamellae occurs in direction of the cylinder of the inkwell. So, in case of error of manipulation, there is a risk that the blade will enter contact with the cylinder and damage. The deformation of blades also causes fatigue of the material that can create problems of premature wear.
  • DE-U-8208651 discloses a blade according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the known systems.
  • the invention aims to propose a system with a fine adjustment allowing the application constant ink thickness on the cylinder ink, accurately, repetitively and safely damage to the cylinder.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that the sectors forming the blade of the bottom of the inkwell are movable in the plane of the blade parallel to each other with respect to other.
  • any point on a blade sector according to the invention has the same displacement, whereas in the case slats known in the prior art, a measure precise displacement can only be made on the edge even of each lamella.
  • the independent claim 8 defines an inkwell of printing machine whose bottom has a blade according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 an inking device with two inkwells superimposed, of the type used in intaglio is schematically represented.
  • This device consists of mainly a mobile inking trolley 1, comprising two frames 2 bunk, each frame 2 being provided with a inkwell 3 formed of a bottom 4 and two side walls 5 cooperating with the cylinder 6 of the inkwell.
  • the bottom 4 is formed of a blade whose frontal edge touches the cylinder 6 of the inkwell.
  • FIG. FIG. 1 of the inking rollers 7 which inking, for example, printing plates (not shown) mounted on a plate cylinder 8.
  • the bottom 4 of the inkwell is described in detail in 2 and 3.
  • This bottom 4 is mounted on a transverse axis, parallel to the axis of the cylinder 6 of inkwell, and it pivots around this axis 10 in direction of the inkwell cylinder 6 when starting up the ink.
  • blade segments 11 are mounted on the bottom 4 on the bottom 4, blade segments 11 are mounted. These segments 11 are linked to the bottom 4 by through transverse slides 13, 14 parallel to the axis 10 supporting the bottom 4 and which are they themselves fixed to said bottom 4 by means of screws 15 and 16.
  • These transverse slides 13, 14 have the general shape of a T whose upper part is maintained in a groove 32, 33 corresponding cut in the segments 11.
  • each segment 11 comprises housings 19, 20 in each of which a return spring 17, 18 is placed. These springs 17, 18, who work in compression, serve to maintain the segment 11 in the position in which the edge of the segments 11 is the closest to the inkwell cylinder 6. So, we can define this position as a position reference and moving segments 11 to change the thickness of the ink applied to the cylinder 6 is carried out by moving the sector 11 away from the cylinder 6.
  • the edge of the sector 11 comprises a reinforcement 12, by example a plate of hard material such as metal or ceramics, which significantly increases the duration of each sector.
  • the inks used have abrasive properties that wear the edge of the blade.
  • the use of sectors reinforced according to the present invention thus makes it possible on the other hand, to reduce wear on the edge and, on the other change a single sector in case of premature wear rather than the whole blade, which results in a noticeable saving.
  • This system comprises a cam 23 which, in the figure 2, is associated with a motor 21.
  • the cam 23 is placed in a corresponding groove 24 of the sector 11 and mounted on the axis 22 of the engine 21.
  • the engine 21 itself is mounted in the bottom of the inkwell 4 and fixed by screws 25 and 26.
  • the use of a motor as shown in Figure 2 allows in particular a remote control of the movement of sectors 11.
  • it is not necessary that the displacement of the cams 23 is motorized and it is possible to replace the motors 21 by a manual control acting on each cam 23.
  • a sector blade 11 according to the invention can be used in an inkwell comprising ink separators.
  • Such separators are used to separate the colors when the inkwell is used for multicolored printing.
  • EP 0 374 092 for example, whose content should be considered part of the present application, describes an inkwell having at least one such separator allowing inking with at least two different colors.
  • FIG 4 schematically shows a separator 27 mounted directly on a sector 11 according to the invention.
  • Separator 27 known in itself for example EP 0 374 092, comprises in particular a intermediate plate 28 made of plastic, for example in Nylatron, which is kept in contact with the periphery of the inkwell cylinder 6 by means of pressure (not shown) such as springs so that the contact remains waterproof.
  • the separator 27 is narrower than the segment 11 on which it is mounted, it is necessary to strengthen the edge of the segment 11 which is on the side of the cylinder 6 of ink, for example by means of a plate of material lasts 31 similar to the platelets 12 represented in the Figure 2 and 3. Such a plate 31 will in fact be placed on each side of the intermediate plate. so move the segment 11 to adjust so specifies the thickness of the ink applied near the intermediate plate 28 while maintaining a contact tight of it against the inkwell cylinder 6 thanks pressure means.
  • the segment system 11 can also be used from advantageous way for mounting the side walls 5 of the inkwell, these being placed on both segments extremes of the bottom plate 4 of the inkwell.
  • Such side walls are described in EP 0 374 092 mentioned above, and also in the patent application No 105/99, filed on 20 January 1999 and not yet published to date, the content of which must be considered as part of this application.
