Abstract:
A fluid distribution device, for applying a fluid onto a transfer roller, comprises includes an elongated chamber, at least one inlet for letting a fluid into the chamber, a longitudinal opening extending in the axial direction and adapted to face a transfer roller to allow fluid to exit the chamber and contact the transfer roller, and at least one wiper blade extending along at least a portion of the longitudinal opening. The chamber includes, at each of the two axial ends of the chamber, a wall separating the chamber from a cavity. The wall has a wall surface arranged to face the transfer roller when the device is in use. The wall is dimensioned so that the wall surface will be distanced from the transfer roller when the device is in use, so as to allow fluid to be present in a gap between the wall surface and the transfer roller.

Claim (Index 41):
A method of operating a device according to  claim 22 , including the following steps:\n placing the device in relation to a transfer roller so that the longitudinal opening faces the transfer roller; and circulating a fluid by pumping the fluid into the chamber and causing part of the fluid to enter the gaps between the wall surfaces and the transfer roller, so that the walls act as partial axial end closures of the chamber, and so that fluid exits the chamber through the gaps.
