Abstract

An apparatus and methods of decorating exterior surfaces of metallic containers are provided. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a novel metering roller for an inking assembly of a decorator. An adjustment mechanism is operable to move the metering roller to a first ink transfer position during a decoration run. In the first ink transfer position, the metering roller receives ink from an ink roller without contacting the ink roller. In one embodiment, during the production run, the metering roller is in contact with and transfers ink to a transfer roller. When the decoration run stops, the adjustment mechanism can move the metering roller to a second dwell position such that the metering roller does not receive ink from the ink roller.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 758,063, filed November 9, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to decorating machines and methods of decorating the exterior surfaces of metal containers for use in the food and beverage packaging industry. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a new metering roll for an ink station assembly of a decorator. Background technique [0004] Metal containers have many advantages over containers made of glass or plastic. Many consumers and dealers prefer metal containers for their convenience and light weight. The surface of metal containers is also ideal for embellishment with brand names, logos, designs, product information and other preferred signs for identification, marketing and differentiating purposes of compet...
