Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a printing tampon, in particular a printing tampon made of elastic material as is used for tampon printing machines whereby through means of this tampon a drawing, text or such is transferred from a printing block onto an object whose surface to be printed is at least partially irregularly or spherically shaped.
  • the present invention concerns a tampon with which the printing of fragile objects of possibly different sizes is perfectly feasible.
  • An example of an application of such tampons is shown in for example the printing of eggs, in particular a series of eggs, which have already been put m their container which, as is known, usually consists of a cardboard or plastic box provided with cavities in which the eggs can be placed.
  • a tampon according to the invention which makes the above- mentioned and other advantages possible is mainly characterized in that it has, at least locally, a weakening.
  • Such a tampon according to the invention can be made of full as well as hollow material, or also of a combination of materials, for example a hollow tampon filled with foam rubber or such, a full tampon whose actual body, in other words the joint between the mounting part or top part and the actual tampon, i.e. the part which contains the actual printing surface, is made of a foam material, coil spring or such, etc.
  • figure 1 shows a view in perspective of a tampon according to the invention
  • figures 2 and 3 are views similar to that in figure 1, but for variants on the embodiments
  • figure 4 shows a section according to line IV-IV in figure 3
  • figures 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are sections similar to that in figure 4, but for variants on the embodiments
  • figure 10 shows from a side-view and in a schematic way an application of printing tampons according to the invention for the printing of eggs.
  • Figure 1 shows a tampon 1 which in this case forms a square section with sides 2 and a spherical-shaped base or actual printing surface 3 whereby the stiffness of this tampon according to the invention is reduced by providing an appropriate weakening in the height of this tampon, for example at least two, preferably diametrically opposed recesses, notches or such, in this case four recesses 4 which are placed on the ribs 5 between two adjacent sides 2.
  • an appropriate weakening in the height of this tampon for example at least two, preferably diametrically opposed recesses, notches or such, in this case four recesses 4 which are placed on the ribs 5 between two adjacent sides 2.
  • a variant according to the invention could be made by providing a groove in each side 2, for example a triangular section, so as to form a circumferential groove 6 as a result of which the stiffness, respectively the possible angular deformation, of such a tampon is further increased.
  • Such a tampon is always provided with a mounting part or top part 7 which has specific dimensions so as to enable the tampon to be mounted in a holder of a printing machine not shown here.
  • Figure 2 shows an almost half-spherical tampon 1 in which, still to the same aim as described above, a circumferential groove 6 has been provided, in this case also with a triangular section.
  • Figure 3 shows a tampon 1 having an invert, truncated conical shape in which, as described above, a circumferential groove 6 with a triangular section has also been provided.
  • circumferential groove 6 has a triangular shape, it is clear that this groove can produce the same result when made in any other shape.
  • notches 4 and/or circumferential grooves 6 respectively can be provided one on top of the other.
  • Figure 5 shows a variant of the figures 3 and 4 whereby, in order to reduce said stiffness, the dimensions of the body of the tampon decrease from the base of the actual printing surface 3 towards the top part 7.
  • This provides the tampon with a certain angular deformability in a very simple manner by reducing the stiffness of the tampon, as a result of which said tampon can print for example an irregular shaped, bent surface, even when this surface is very vulnerable or fragile and/or being presented in an irregular manner under the tampon, in a correct manner as the tampon can reshape itself towards and around the surface to be printed.
  • Figure 6 shows another embodiment in which the stiffness of the tampon is influenced on the one hand by reducing the dimensions of the tampon from the basis or printing surface 3 towards the top part 7, and on the other hand by providing one or more circumferential grooves 6 in the perimeter of the tampon 1.
  • Figure 7 shows a section of a printing tampon as will be used for example for the printing of eggs.
  • the dimensions of this tampon are reduced from the base or actual printing surface 3 towards the top part 7, whereby the actual printing surface 3 is coni ⁇ ally shaped.
  • Figure 8 shows a variant on the embodiment of a printing tampon 1 according to the invention whereby, in this case, the actual printing surface 3 is part of a tampon tip 8 which is attached, for example by means of glue, on a mass of foam material 9, for example foam rubber, which is attached with its other end, for example also by means of glue, to the above-mentioned top part 7.
  • Figure 10 shows an application whereby six eggs 12 placed in an appropriate container 11 are being simultaneously printed by means of just as many tampons 1, in this case of the type as shown in figure 7, which are mounted in a common support 14 of a printing machine which is not shown here by means of holders 13.
  • the different tampons 1 will position themselves automatically in an appropriate manner on the head of an egg during the printing of these egg heads and, thanks to the relatively small stiffness of the tampons, bend themselves, depending on the height of the egg and the position of the egg in the container 11, or in other words undergo an angular deformation as a result of which a correct impression of each egg is always obtained.
  • the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above; on the contrary, such a tampon according to the invention can be made in various forms and dimensions while still remaining within the scope of the invention.
