Abstract:
A device for printing hollow bodies includes a segmented wheel which can be rotated about a rotational axis. The segmented wheel has multiple segments, one behind the other, on the segmented wheel circumference, each for receiving a respective printing blanket. At least one of the printing blankets, which is arranged on one of the segments, is arranged on the hollow body to be printed in a rolling manner or at least in a rollable manner. Each of the printing blankets is arranged on a plate-shaped metal support. Each plate-shaped metal support is configured to be bendable and forms a metal printing blanket, together with the printing blanket arranged on the support. Each metal printing blanket formed by the respective support, together with the printing blanket arranged on the support, is arranged or can at least be arranged on one of the segments of the segmented wheel in a replaceable manner as a whole. Each support, which is arranged on one of the segments of the segmented wheel, of the corresponding metal printing blanket, is held on the support in one of a form-fitting and a force-fitting manner.

Claim (Index 45):
A method for operating a device that includes a segmented wheel ( 03 ) for printing on hollow bodies ( 01 ), wherein a metal printing blanket ( 33 ) is arranged on at least one segment ( 32 ) of the segmented wheel ( 03 ), which has a plurality of segments ( 32 ) one behind the other on its periphery, wherein when the segmented wheel ( 03 ) rotates, at least one metal printing blanket ( 33 ) arranged on one of the segments ( 32 ) rolls along the hollow body ( 01 ) to be printed on, characterized in that a device for automatically changing metal printing blankets ( 33 ), assigned to the segmented wheel ( 03 ), automatically removes the metal printing blanket ( 33 ) to be arranged on the segment ( 32 ) in question of the segmented wheel ( 03 ) from a magazine ( 42 ) in response to a command issued to the control unit of said device and transports said blanket to the segment ( 32 ) in question of the segmented wheel ( 03 ).
