The engagement between 24 and the central through hole 22 can be further ensured.
In addition, what combined each structure shown in FIG.9, FIG.10, FIG.11 arbitrarily can also be employ | adopted.

In order for the ink roller 7 to be securely engaged and attached to the mounting pin 24, the mounting pin 24, the attaching / detaching window 2C of the applicator main body side plate 2 (right side roller attaching / detaching side plate 2A), the ink roller storage container 40, the ink roller 7 and the central through-hole 22 need to have the following relationship.
That is, FIG. 12 shows the relative relationship among the mounting pin 24, the attaching / detaching window 2C of the applicator main body side plate 2 (the right roller attaching / detaching side plate 2A), the ink roller storage container 40, the ink roller 7 and the central through hole 22. It is a principal part expanded sectional view.
However, as the mounting pin 24, the one in which the round surface portion 47 (taper portion) of FIG. 9 is formed is illustrated. Further, the center axis of the mounting pin 24 and the attaching / detaching window 2C coincide with each other, and the ink roller storage container 40 is maximized so that the guide portion 43 contacts the right inner wall portion in the drawing of the attaching / detaching window 2C. While the ink roller 7 is biased and deviated, the ink roller 7 is deviated as much as possible so that the support flange 20 forming the maximum outer diameter portion contacts the right inner wall portion of the container main body 41 in the drawing. It is shown.

    As shown in the drawing, as the axial condition of the ink roller 7 and the container main body 41, the distance from the outer surface portion of the attachment / detachment window 2C of the roller attachment / detachment side plate 2A to the tip of the attachment pin 24 is X, and Y is the length that protrudes inward of the roller attaching / detaching side plate 2A from the attaching / detaching window 2C of the roller attaching / detaching side plate 2A (the length of the guide portion 43 in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 6). In some cases, if X <Y, the guide roller 43 can reliably guide and feed the ink roller 7 to the tip end portion (front end portion 24A) of the mounting pin 24.

    Further, as a condition in the radial direction of the ink roller 7 and the container main body 41, the inner wall portion of the attaching / detaching window 2 </ b> C of the roller attaching / detaching side plate 2 </ b> A to the most distal portion of the attaching pin 24 The distance from the outermost end of the surface) to A, and the distance from the maximum outer diameter portion of the ink roller 7 (the maximum outer diameter portion of the support flange 20) to the maximum inner diameter portion of the central through hole 22 as B, 41 (the guide portion 43 in the illustrated example) and the difference between the maximum outer diameter portion of the ink roller 7 (gap in the backlash portion) is C, the thickness of the guide portion 43 is D, and the roller mounting side plate If the difference between the maximum inner diameter portion of the 2A attachment / detachment window 2C and the maximum outer diameter portion of the guide portion 43 (gap between the play portions) is E, B + C + D + E <A, and the ink roller 7 is moved to the container body 41. In the radial direction inside Even when the container main body 41 (guide portion 43) is slightly displaced in the radial direction inside the attaching / detaching window 2C, the engagement between the mounting pin 24 and the central through hole 22 of the ink roller is reliably realized, That is, the operator who installs the ink roller 7 can easily and quickly perform the operation without worrying about the engagement state between the attachment pin 24 and the central through hole 22 of the ink roller in the roller attachment portion 8.

Next, FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the ink roller storage container 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the ink roller storage container 50, the container main body 41 is not formed with the stopper portion 44, and the container main body 41. The outer peripheral surface itself on the opening 45 side is used as a guide portion 43.
In the ink roller storage container 50, the length of the guide portion 43 itself corresponds to the length itself to be inserted into the attachment / detachment window 2C, and can be arbitrarily selected by the operator.

Also by using the ink roller storage container 50 having such a configuration, the ink roller 7 can be easily and quickly attached to the roller mounting portion 8 as in the case of the ink roller storage container 40 (FIG. 5).
However, since the container main body 41 itself operates in the same manner as the guide portion 43, the entire container main body 41 is moved inward of the roller attaching / detaching side plate 2A through the attaching / detaching window 2C by an arbitrary length of the container main body 41. It is possible to insert, and this insertion length depends on the operator's control.
Accordingly, since there is no stopper 44, it is necessary to pay attention to the operation of inserting the ink roller storage container 50 into the attachment / detachment window 2C, while the opening 45 of the ink roller storage container 50 connects the mounting pin 24 in the roller attachment / detachment side plate 2A. The ink roller 7 can be positioned deeply before being covered, and the ink roller 7 can be reliably delivered to the mounting pin 24 (roller mounting portion 8).
