  • FIGS. 16-18 show in a very schematic representation of a device 1g, which is similar to the devices 1, 1a - 1d formed for multicolored printing of containers 2 on its outer container surface by applying the ink or ink directly on the container outer surface.
  • the printing of the container 2 takes place in this device on a transport element in the form of a rotor 54 which is driven circumferentially around the vertical machine axis (arrow R) and on the evenly spaced angularly about the vertical machine axis offset container carrier 55 for the upright, ie are provided with their container axis oriented in the vertical direction container 2.
  • a coaxial with the machine axis arranged annular printhead support 56 is provided on which in the same pitch or at the same angular distance, the container carrier 55 from each other, printheads 57.1 - 57.4 for inks or inks in the different Coloring, namely yellow (printhead 57.1), magenta (printhead 57.2), cyan (printhead 57.3) and black (printhead 57.4) and other printheads 57.5 are arranged for applying the cover or protective coating.
  • the printheads 57.1-57.5 are respectively provided in groups on the printhead carrier 56 in such a manner that each group has the printheads 57.1-57.5 once and the printheads 57.1-57.5 in each group have the same order, ie, for example, the valence of their reference numerals in the circumferential direction of the print head carrier 56, for example, opposite to the direction of rotation R of the rotor 54 are provided consecutively.
  • the arrangement of the print heads 57.1 - 57.5 is further made such that in each printing phase (eg positions a and c of Figure 22) each have a print head 57.1 - 57.5 directly opposite a container 2 or its lateral surface in the printing position.
  • the printheads 57.1-57.5 together with the printhead support 56 in this embodiment form the printing unit 57.
  • the containers 2 are in turn fed via the corona tunnel 4 and the infeed worm 5 to the infeed or transport star 6 (arrow T) and transferred individually from this to a respective printing station formed by a container carrier 55.
  • the printed containers 2 are removed at the outlet or transport star 12 and fed via the feed dog 13 for further use (arrow T).
  • the multicolor printing of the container 2 takes place.
  • the color sets forming the respective multicolor printing and the subsequent cover layer are respectively rotated or pivoted containers 2, controlled by the container axis with the container carriers 55. For example, in a controlled rotational movement by 360 ° successively applied to the printheads 57.1 - 57.4 and the printhead 57.5.
  • each container 2 is carried out in such a way that after being transferred from the inlet star 6 to a container carrier 55 in a first angular range of the rotational movement of the rotor 54, i. in a first printing phase a print head for generating a first color set, for example, the print head 57.1 in printing position opposite (Fig. 22, position a).
  • a print head for generating a first color set for example, the print head 57.1 in printing position opposite (Fig. 22, position a).
  • the print head carrier 56 is moved in the same direction and synchronously with the rotor 54.
  • the container 2 is controlled by its vertical axis of the container rotated by 360 ° and at the same time the ink or ink applied in each case by means of a suitable, each printhead 57.1 - 57.5 assigned device 58 dried.
  • the printing phase subsequent to the first or each other printing phase for applying a further color set or for applying the cover layer is initiated by temporarily stopping the container support 55 or all print heads 57.1-57.5 or moving them counter to the rotational movement R by a division that the containers "overhaul" the printheads 57.1-57.5 by one pitch (distance of the printheads) (FIG. 22, position b) and so each container 2 another printhead, for example after the printhead 57.1 the printhead 57.2, after the printhead 57.2 of FIG Printhead 57.3, after the printhead 57.3 the printhead 57.4 or after the printhead 57.4 the printhead 57.5 is opposite in a printing position (Fig. 22, position c).
  • the printed containers 2 are moved with the rotor 54 for complete curing of the printing ink and the cover layer at a curing or curing station 59 and subsequently before reaching the outlet star 12 at a control station or a control system 14 over, with the imprint on the moved past this system and continues to be rotated around its vertical container axis rotated container, so that on the conveyor 13 containers with the one erroneous expression can be excluded.
  • the printhead change takes place between two successive printing phases by briefly braking the printhead support 56, so that the printheads 57.1-57.5 are "overtaken” by the containers 2.
  • a printhead change is also possible in each case by a brief acceleration of the printhead carrier 56, so that the container carriers 55 or the containers 2 are “overtaken” by the printheads 57.1-57.5 during the printhead change.
  • the print head carrier 56 is driven in the same direction and synchronously with the rotor 54 in the printing phase after the printhead change and before a new printhead change.
  • the print head carrier 56 is shown as a ring in FIGS. 20-22.
  • this carrier can have any suitable design for the function.
  • the device 1g has u.a. the advantage that at least the greater part of the angle of rotation of the rotor 54 is available for printing, the number of print heads 57.1-57.5 can still be kept relatively small, so that the total number of print heads 57.1-57.5 e.g. is equal to the number of container carrier 55, and that the respective printhead change can be made by short movement strokes.
  • the print heads 57.1-57.5 are again arranged within the path of movement of the container 2 on the rotor 54, so that the application of the printed images or their color sets by the centrifugal force of the rotating rotor 54 and print head carrier 56 is supported.
  • the containers 2 stand up during printing with their container bottom on a container carrier or on a surface of a rotor or a transport system.
  • the containers 2 are held in a different manner during printing, for example, hanging on a container or neck flange provided in the region of the container mouth.
