It is preferably provided that the freewheeling area is defined by all surface sections of the freewheeling area being at a distance from the axis of rotation of the coating roller that is smaller than the circle radius.
  • the freewheel area serves in particular to enable a transport movement for the cylindrical hollow body, which is realized by a rotary step movement of the workpiece turntable relative to the machine frame, without there being an undesirable contact between the coating roller and the outer surface of the cylindrical hollow body. Such an undesirable contact could lead to an uncontrolled application of paint to the outer surface of the cylindrical hollow body and / or to a disproportionate wear of the coating roller.

  • the two coating rollers 47, 48 are arranged on the carrier frame 40 in such a way that their axes of rotation 59, 60 are each at an identical distance 83 to a movement plane 84.
  • the movement plane 84 is the outer surfaces 85, 86 of the hollow body 6 by their pivoting movement in the Figure 2
  • the axis of rotation 87 of the workpiece rotary table shown in the drawing determines and is, purely by way of example, that annular surface which corresponds to a minimal distance between the outer surfaces 85, 86 of the hollow bodies 6, for example with respect to the coating station 16.
  • the distance 83 is dimensioned such that the two coating rollers 47, 48 do not intersect the plane of motion 84 at least over a portion of their respective freewheel areas 79, 80, so that the pivoting movement of the hollow bodies 6 about the axis of rotation 87 can be carried out in the plane of motion 84, without contact with the respective coating rollers 47, 48.
  • a length of an arc 88, 89 determined by the respective coating area 75, 76 is greater than a circumference of the respective outer surface 85, 86 of the hollow body 6, so that the outer surface 85, 86 of the hollow body 6 is completely wetted with lacquer respectively can be provided by the respective coating roller 47, 48 in the respective coating area 75, 76.
  • each of the coating rollers 47, 48 is assigned a lacquer roller 90, 91, which is shown in a highly simplified manner, which is also referred to as anilox roller and which is accommodated in each region and in a rotating manner in a lacquer tank 92, 93 , which is filled with liquid paint in a manner not shown.
  • the task of the paint roller 90, 91 is to roll the liquid paint present in the paint tank 92, 93 onto the coating area 75, 76 of the respective coating roller 47, 48.
  • knife-like squeegees are arranged in the paint tank 92, 93, which scrape off excess paint from the surface of the respective paint roller 90, 91 and thereby transfer a precisely specifiable amount of paint from the respective paint roller 90, 91 to the assigned coating roller 47, 48 guarantee.
  • the coating rollers 90, 91 and the associated coating rollers 47, 48 rotate continuously, in particular at constant circumferential speeds, in deviation from the intermittent rotary step movement of the workpiece rotary table.
  • a synchronization of these rotational movements, described in more detail below, for the coating rollers 47, 48 with respect to the hollow bodies 6 provided in the course of the rotary step movement of the workpiece rotary table into the coating position (not shown) enables the desired coating application on the outer surface 85, 86 of the hollow bodies 6.
  • a holding time period for the rotary step movement of the workpiece round table about the axis of rotation 87 is dimensioned such that a complete and in particular slip-free rolling movement of the respective coating areas 75, 76 on the outer surfaces 85, 86 of the hollow body 6 can take place during this resting phase of the workpiece round table. Accordingly, a coating period for the contact between the coating areas 75, 76 with the outer surfaces 85, 86 is smaller than the holding period and completely included in the holding period.
  • the coating time period can be represented by the angle 94 and the holding time period by the angle 95, while the angles 96 and 97 prior to the transport of the hollow bodies 6 during the rotary step movement represent the holding period or the removal of the hollow bodies 6 during the rotary step movement after the holding period.
  • the holding time period represented by the angle 95 begins, within which the coating time period represented by the angle 94 is then contained, the contact between the coating areas 75 and 76 being opposite to the Hollow bodies 6 take place exclusively during the coating period.
  • the coating roller 47 comprises a dimensionally stable, purely exemplary, largely rotationally symmetrical to the axis of rotation 59 formed carrier shaft 100, which can be made, for example, of a fiber-reinforced plastic or metal, in particular steel.
  • carrier shaft 100 which can be made, for example, of a fiber-reinforced plastic or metal, in particular steel.
  • an elastic layer 102 is applied, which is preferably integrally connected to the outer cylinder surface 101 and is made, for example, of EPDM.
  • a profile of the elastic layer 102 along the axis of rotation 59 also referred to as the longitudinal axis, can be seen in FIG. 4 and includes the coating area 75 and the free-wheel area 79.
  • the carrier shaft 100 is penetrated by a rotationally symmetrical longitudinal bore 103, which has a first diameter 104 in a central area and a second diameter 105 adjoining it at the end and stepped in steps, each of which defines a cylinder bore section 106.
  • a conical section-shaped widening 109, 110 which extends up to an end face 107, 108, adjoins the cylinder bore section 106.
  • two oppositely arranged depressions 111 and 112 are formed purely by way of example, which according to the illustration of FIGS Figure 4 have a different width and thus ensure a clear geometric assignment to projections 113, 114 of a drive shaft 115 of a rotary drive 43, which is only shown schematically.
  • the widening 110 arranged on the opposite end face 108 is preferably designed exclusively in the form of a cone section and for flat contact with one in the Figure 5 bearing cone 116, which is only shown in a purely schematic manner and was not shown in detail, was provided on the support frame 40 so that it could rotate. It is preferably provided that either the bearing cone 116 or that in the Figure 5 Rotary drive 43, not shown, with its drive shaft 115 can be moved linearly along the axis of rotation 59.
  • This rotary bearing is preferably configured so that axial forces along the axis of rotation 59 and radial forces transverse to the axis of rotation 59 can be transmitted from the coating roller 47 to the drive shaft 115 and the bearing cone 116 and a drive torque from the drive shaft 115 via the projections 113 and 114 and the associated recesses 111 and 112 to initiate the rotary movement of the Coating roller 47 can be initiated about the axis of rotation 59.
