  • SILK-SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE FOR PRINTING ON CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS File d March '5, 1965 s Sheets-Sheet 1 Feb. 13. 1968 F. F. H. BROCKMANN 3,368,431 SILK-SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE FOR PRINTING ON CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS Filed March 3, 1965 5 Sheets-Sheet, z
  • the disclosure relates to a silk-screen printing machine for printing cylindrical objects such as bottles, can, containers, and the like by means of a reciprocating silkscreen and associated printing equipment.
  • Axially spaced retaining means are provided in which the bottles or the like are mounted, and these retaining means are mounted on a turret device rotatable about a preferably horizontal axis. The turret device moves the objects to be imprinted from a loading station to a working station in which the objects are engaged with the silk-screen to be imprinted thereby.
  • the station immediately in advance of the working station is an indexing or adjusting station wherein the article may be indexed to a certain relative angular position in annular retaining means so that, when the bottle is brought into registry with the silk screen, the printing will begin at a predetermined point on the periphery of the bottle or other article.
  • the retaining means comprise annular rings or the like, and these rings are arranged to be clutched to a rotatable shell on the adjusting or indexing means for rotation of the article.
  • the bottom of the article such as a bottle, is usually provided with an indexing groove or recess, and a pin is provided in association with the indexing means so that, as the indexing means rotates the bottle, this pin will engage in the indexing means of the bottle and retain the bottle against further rotation, a slip-type of drive being provided for the indexing means shell so that the shell is also halted in this position.
  • the indexing means is then retracted from the article and the turret is advanced a step to the entrainment station wherein a second rotatable shell is advanced into clutching relation wtih the retaining ring holding the article. Associated with the second rotatable shell is an electric indexing finger which is arranged to engage in registry with the aforementioned notch in the end of the article.
  • gearing interconnecting the screen and the entraining means rotates the entraining means, together with the retaining ring and the article, to imprint the desired information on the cylindrical surface of the article.
  • both the indexing or adjusting means and the entrainment means are mounted on a common support plate which is reciprocable axially of the turret, and means are provided, in driving association with the main drive of the printing apparatus, to retract this support plate during advance of the turret and to project this support plate when the turret is stationary so that one article is properly indexed while a second article is being imprinted.
  • the invention relates to a silk-screen printing machine with a reciprocating screen device to the underside of which are applied, intermittently, objects to be printed, by means of a revolving feeding attachment equipped with holding or retaining members for detachably mounting these objects, wherein the said screening device is provided with these objects in advance of the screen, as viewed in its sense of rotation, and releases these objects 3,368,481 Patented Feb. 13, 1968 Ice after printing thereof by the screen, and comprising driving means for intermittently actuating the feeding attachment, an entrainment mechanism for an object adjacent the screen, and adjusting means for an object immediately in advance of the screen.
  • Two adjustments of the object relative to the screen are required.
  • One adjustment relates to the overall positioning of the object relative to the screen and the other adjustment to the positioning or indexing of a certain part of the object relative to the screen. This latter adjustment is of special importance where several imprints, for example, in different colors are to be applied to the object to be printed.
  • the object may be movable, for example, rotatable, in its retaining member or therewith.
  • certain objects for example, bottles, have gradually deepening grooves with a shoudered end in the bottom and that movable devices equipped with a projecting pin are used for the adjustment.
  • the pin engages into one of the grooves and is rotated against the shoulder or offset end in order to entrain the same into a predetermined position and to adjust in this manner the rotational position of the object.
  • the present invention has the object of providing a silk-screen printing machine wherein the position of the object relative to the screen, and in this position also the position of a certain part of the object relative to the screen, may be adjusted to a high degree of accuracy by simple means.
  • the objects to be printed may be, for example, tins, cans or bottles.
  • the object outlined above is realized in that the intermittently rotatable, rigid, feeding attachment is constructed after the manner of a turret head and is equipped, at least on one side, with holding means adaptable to the size and/or shape of the object and comprising further an adjusting device directly engaging the object and an entrainment device which becomes elfective during the printing and is movable as a function of the screen movement.
  • the present arrangement offers the advantage of requiring only one adjusting mechanism in order to index the object into a certain position relative to the screen even though this indexing alignment may take place before the object to be printed reaches the screen.
  • the said adjusting device and the entrainment device are separate and engage different retaining means; the entrainment device engages a retaining means which holds an object to be printed against the screen and the adjusting device engages a retaining means which holds the object to be printed during the next step of the feeding attachment in spaced relationship relative to the screen.
  • the entrainment device it is no longer necessary for the entrainment device to be equipped with a so-called finger which engages into a recess in the bottom of the object, because the adjustment to be produced by this finger may 3 be carried out already in spaced relationship from the screen in conjunction with a turret head type feeding attachment.
  • This has the advantage of saving a considerable amount of time, because the object itself need no longer be rotated after it has been moved into the operating position adjacent to the screen.
  • the adjusting and entrainment devices are simultaneously brought into engagement with calibrated surfaces of the retaining means, located with clearance in the feeding attachment, with a view to adjusting the same.
  • the objects are mounted rigidly or immovably in the retaining means, and the retaining means are themselves controlled for adjusting the feeding attachment.
  • the retaining means are mounted with clearance and/ or resiliently in the feeding attachment.
  • the said retaining means may be of a pincer-like construction and may be detachable relative to the object to be printed under the action of the adjusting device.
  • the retaining means are rings, fitted with axial and radial play into the feeding attachment, and having on the one side a recess adapted to receive one end of a vessel and on the other side a preferably conical adjusting face. This play has simultaneously the advantage that the movement of the retaining means in the feeding attachment is substantially friction-free.
  • annular retaining means are movably, and preferably rotatably, located between mounting disks which are mounted in their turn detachably on the feeding attachrnent, wherein the radially outermost peripheral section of the mounting disks is flattened tangentially to the annular retaining means.
  • the mounting disks may be at least partially of circular design.
  • these devices are mounted, corresponding to the arrangement of the retaining means in the feeding attachment, on an are on a common carrier, actuable as a function of the operating rhythm of the drive of the feeding attachment so that the adjusting devices become effective when the feeding attachment is stationary.
  • a friction drive is provided for actuating the adjusting device, determining the setting of one point in accurate alignment to the screen, that is to say, a position which the object assumes under the screen relative to the feeding attachment.
  • the retaining arrangement consists of a retaining or holding means adjustable in the feeding attachment, and engaging one end of the object, and an elastically attachable counter element, movable in the direction of the feed, and adapted to be moved into and out of the engagement position under the action of a cam drive.
  • a driving link between the screen or the screen carrier and the entrainment device, and drivingly connected at least with the object, and preferably with the retaining means.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatical side elevation of the machine in partial cross-section, showing only several elements thereof, required for the explanation of its operation;
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevation of a part of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, explaining the arrangement of the retaining means;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section taken along the line IIIIII in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-section and shows one retaining element in engagement with an adjusting device
  • FIG. 5 is a partial view illustrating the arrangement of the adjusting devices on the machine, certain parts having been omitted for the sake of clarity;
  • FIG. 6 is a front elevation of the arrangement of FIG. 5 partly shown in cross-section.
  • the screen printing machine shown in FIG. 1 has a main frame 1 with a housing 2, adapted to receive the transmission unit and driving means.
  • the said frame 1 is connected to a base plate '3, which is connected in turn with a bearing side plate 4 mounted on the opposite side.
  • the screen 5 with the necessary equipment such as the doctor and the like, located on a guide 119 along which they are reciprocable perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing.
  • the mounting means and the driving means are not shown in detail; these parts are generally known in the art and are mounted withi the housing part 2.
  • a turret headshaped feeding attachment shown generally at 6.
  • This attachment is mounted on a shaft 7, protruding from the housing part 2 and connected there with driving means, not shown in detail, and indicated, by way of example, at 126 in FIG. 4.
  • the shaft 7, mounted in bearing means 127' of the housing part 2 is connected with the driving means by transmissions 128, 129.
  • the shaft 7 carries, by means of a hub arrangement 8, 9, a turret head shaped driving pulley 10, forming part of the feeding attachment; this driving pulley is shown in FIG. 2 under the same reference numeral.
  • It has substantially circular recesses 11, 12, 13, 14 which may be stepped or shouldered, as shown in FIG. 1, and in which mounting disks 15, 16, and so on are arranged.
  • These mounting disks have round mounting apertures 17, 18, in which retaining means are movably mounted.
  • These retaining means have the shape of rings 19, 20 and will be described in greater detail in the following.
  • the turret head-shaped feeding attachment comprises further a circular carrier 21, arranged on the remote end of the shaft 7 and containing counter elements 22, 23, axially aligned with the retaining means 19, 20, and movable to and fro in the axial direction of the shaft, that is to say, parallel thereto, against the force of springs 24, 25.
  • the shaft 7 is supported in a bearing arrangement 26 of the mounting side wall 4.
  • the said carrier 21 is mounted on the shaft 7 in a hub bearing 27 so that it is fitted to rotate with shaft 7 but can move axially to and fro on the said shaft.
  • An adjusting arm 28, the lower end 29 of which is guided in an adjusting device 30, is shiftable axially with carrier 21 but is not rotatable therewith.
  • Adjusting device 30 is adjustable along the guide Guide 120 is movable longitudinally, and has a downwardly directed extension 32 which is in the form of a nut threadedly engaged with a spindle 31 rotatably mounted in the frame.
  • Spindle 31 is rotatable by means of a machine drive 121.
  • the adjustment is effected in accordance with the size of the objects.
  • the adjusting arm 28 carries a cam 33 which is L-shaped cross-section and arcuate in elevation in a plane perpendicular to FIG. 1, the are being centered on the axis of shaft 7.
  • Cam 28 has a cam track 34 which tapers from the center of the arc to each end thereof.
  • FIG. 2 shows, by way of example, the circular arrangement of six retaining means 19, 20, as hereinbefore described.
  • the mounting disks are so flattened on their outermost sections 39, 40 that they approach tangentially the annular retaining means 19, 20.
  • the mounting disks may be m0unted, for example, by three screws 41, 42, 43 in the said steps or shoulders 13, 14.
  • FIG. 4 shows the entrainment device which corresponds to some extent to the adjusting device, but fulfils another task, being associated with the screen and merely transmitting the movement of the same.
  • the retaining ring 19 is mounted with both axial and radial clearance in the mounting aperture 17.
  • the retaining ring 19 has an arcuate cross-section angular recess 47, corresponding in its configuration to that of the bottom of the object to be printed. Behind this recess, the outer periphery of the bearing ring is undercut to form a seating surface 48, comprising an obliquely extending annular shoulder 49 which cooperates with a correspondingly shaped surface 50 on the mounting disk and causes the retaining ring to be centered.
  • An abutment ring 51 is recessed into the seating surface 48 and may engage the rear Wall of the mounting disk 15. The distance of ring 51 from the surface 49 is such that the axial clearance is adhered to.
  • the retaining ring 19 has also, at its end remote from the arcuate recess 47, a conical adjusting surface 52 which may, for example, extend inwardly.
  • This adjusting surface 52 may engage a correspondingly formed mating adjusting surface on the annular shell 53 of an entrainment device shown generally at 54.
  • the head of this entrainment device consists of a housing with an annular shell 53, movable axially to and fro, and an inner adjusting body 55 which is reciprocable axially with the outer housing but is rotatable relative thereto.
  • this body 55 may be guided on a spindle 56.
  • a spring loaded pin 57 mounted within the said body 55 is a spring loaded pin 57, protruding therefrom axially and eccentrically; this pin engages into a bottom groove of the object to be printed and retained by the retaining ring 19.
  • the pin 57 serves as an abutment and as entrainment means.
  • a rotational movement is transmitted by a gear wheel 116, mounted on a bush 117 which surrounds and drives the spindle 56.
  • the said gear wheel 116 mates with a rack 118, mounted on the screen and reciprocated therewith by the main drive of the machine.
  • the rotation of the bush is transmitted to the spindle 56 and therefore to the head 55 and the pin 57 while the pin 57 causes the object to be entrained and rotated in accordance with the movement of the screen.
  • the retaining ring 19 is free to rotate.
  • the gear wheel 116 and the rack 118 are shown in FIG. 1.
  • the width of the rack 118 is such that the rack 118 remains in engagement with the gear 116 when the entrainment device of the spindle 56 is moved to and fro, for example, by the movement of a plate 78, described hereinafter. It may be seen that the engagement of the adjusting surface 52 produces an axial alignment of the retaining ring 19 relative to the annular shell 53..
  • the screen 5 now moves in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, it entrains, through its drive 116, 117, the object so that this object, retained in the retaining ring 19, is also rotatively aligned with the screen and moved in synchronization with the reciprocating movement of the screen.
  • the rotational adjustment is effected in the working station 62 preceding the topmost station in the other figures and having the retaining ring 19.
  • the means used for this purpose corresponds to some extent to the part 54 in FIG. 4 andis shown at 63 in FIG. 5. Its association with the part 54 may be seen in FIG. 5 from the fact that part of the spindle 56 is shown.
  • Reference numeral 54 signifies the entrainment device and reference numeral 63 (FIG. 5) the adjusting device. Also the latter has an axially protruding pin 64, corresponding to the pin 57, and an annular shell 65 with a conical adjusting surface 66; the said annular shell 65 corresponds to the annular shell 53.
