Patent ID: 7108499

Claim:
An apparatus for regulating components of rotary machines for decoration of ceramic tiles, comprising: a rotary machine that translates tiles in a first direction on a mobile rest plane; a matrix-bearing cylinder having an axis of rotation, the cylinder mobile in rotation about the axis, which matrix-bearing cylinder is provided with at least an elastically-deformable peripheral part having a smooth external cylindrical surface made of an elastomer material, on which smooth external cylindrical surface a shape is cut and recessed, which shape is a matrix; at least a doctor predisposed for operating in contact with the external surface of the matrix-bearing cylinder; a vertically-developing frame; a first slide constrained on the vertically-developing frame and slidable vertically with respect thereto; the matrix-bearing cylinder being supported on the first slide, together with organs for supporting the matrix-bearing cylinder and organs for controlling rotation thereof about a rotation axis thereof; a second slide constrained on the vertically-developing frame and sliding vertically with respect thereto; the at least one doctor being supported on the second slide, together with organs for supporting the at least one doctor and organs for controlling movements of the at least one doctor; means for relatively positioning the first slide and the second slide relative to the vertically developing frame.
