Title: Improvements relating to inking mechanism for printing machines
IPC: B41F31/02
Filed: 1924-07-24
Abstract: 243,045. Crabtree & Sons, Ltd., R. W., and Phythian, T. E. July 24, 1924. Pumps with two barrels in series; regulating delivery by closing suction valves.-Ink is supplied to the ink-distributing drum of a printing- machine from an ink-duct, by a number of valveless pumps each comprising two plungers and two cylinders, one plunger operating to withdraw ink from the duct and to force it into the cylinder of the other plunger, and the latter plunger ejecting the ink on to the drum. The capacity of each pump may be varied by axial adjustment of the cylinders. Each pump comprises two plungers c, c<1> working in cylinders d, d<1>. communicating by a port d<4>, and formed in a block d<2> slidably mounted in the front wall a<3> of the ink-duct a. The cylinder d<1> communicates with the duct through a port d<3> and the cylinder d opens into a passage e in a plate e<1> fixed to the front of the duct. The plungers are operated by eccentrics g, g<1>. As the plunder c' moves into its cylinder, it closes the port d<3> and forces ink through the port d<4> into the cylinder d when that port is opened by the plunger c. During the opposite strokes of the plungers, a part of the ink is withdrawn from the cylinder d by the plunger c<1> until the port d<4> is closed by the plunger e which then ejects the remainder of the ink on to the drum b. By adjusting the block d<2> axially, the port d<4> may be closed earlier in the stroke of the plunger c so that less ink is withdrawn by the plunger c<1> and consequently more ink is supplied to the drum b. This adjustment is effected by a pin i engaging in a slot d<5> in the block and mounted eccentrically on a rotatable shaft i<1> having an operating cam i<2> which may be actuated from either end of the duct.

Abstract: 121,160. Reeve, V. L. Nov. 30, 1917. Cylinder and like machines; bcd-reciprocating apparatus; inking-apparatus; tripping-arrangements; printing-surfaces. -In a multicolour offset printing-machine of the kind in which the part-design printing surfaces or colour blocks are carried by a reciprocating table which, during its forward stroke, carries the surfaces under inking-apparatus and then into contact with an offset printing-roller, the offset roller is lifted on the return stroke of the table out of contact with the design surfaces and into contact with the sheet or web of paper or other material passing round an .intermittently-operated impression cylinder. As shown, three part-design blocks are secured to a bed 2 reciprocated by a link 9 connected to a crank 4 on a vertical rotating shaft. The crank 4 is slotted to permit adjustment of the stroke of the bed. Each block is inked by a set of rollers 19 supplied from a duct 25, and linear cam-bars on the bed engage disks on the roller spindles to raise them clear of the blocks which they are not intended to colour. The inking-rollers are driven by chain and spur gearing 26, 28 from a shaft 29 carrying a pinion engaging a rack 31 on the bed 2. The offset roller 33 is driven by change-speed gear from the shaft 29 and receive an impression from the blocks during the forward stroke of the bed, and is raised during the return stroke into contact with a web 36 of paper passing round the impression cylinder 41. The paper is led from a reel 37 to feed-rollers 43. The feed of the paper from the reel is effected by the frictional engagement of the offset cylinder with the impression cylinder, and during the next forward stroke of the bed, the feedrollers 43 are driven by belt and ratchet gear 61, 58 from the shaft 29 to take up the slack web. The offset roller 33 is raised into contact with the paper by means of linear cam-bars 48 carried by the bed and engaging disks on the shaft of the roller. The cam-bars are pivoted on pins 50 and are adapted to be operated by stationary cam-projections at the end of each stroke of the bed, so that the roller 33 is raised only during the return stroke of the bed. A brush 55 and felt-covered roller 56 operated at the required times by a linear cam on the bed 2 may be provided for cleaning the roller 33 after each impression.
