Abstract
Abstract In a device for applying fluid substances in printing and coating machines, carrying plates are fixed to ends of a carrying beam. The carrying plates have recesses therein in which pivot axles of a coating roller are loosely and rotatably mounted. Stopping surfaces are provided to limit lateral movement of the coating roller by abutting with its pivot axles. The stopping surfaces are formed adjacent the recesses formed in the carrying plates and converge in the direction in which a fabric strip which is to be printed on is moved beneath the roller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
185 words
An apparatus for the application of fluid substances in printing and coating machines, comprising: a carrying beam having first and second ends; first and second carrying plates attached respectively to said first and second ends of said carrying beam and having first and second recesses formed therein; a rotatable application roller; mounting means, comprising first and second pivot axles having a common pivot axis and extending through said first and second recesses, respectively, for mounting said roller to said first and second carrying plates for rotation with respect to said first and second carrying plates; and first and second stopping means for abutting with an end of each of said first and second pivot axles, respectively, to allow some axial movement of said roller but limit the axial movement of said roller in each respective axial direction, each of said first and second stopping means comprising a closing plate mounted to a corresponding one of said first and second carrying plates, respectively, and having a recess formed therein, said recess defining a stopping surface disposed at an oblique angle relative to said common pivot axis.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
185 words
An apparatus for the application of fluid substances in printing and coating machines, comprising: a carrying beam having first and second ends; first and second carrying plates attached respectively to said first and second ends of said carrying beam and having first and second recesses formed therein; a rotatable application roller; mounting means, comprising first and second pivot axles having a common pivot axis and extending through said first and second recesses, respectively, for mounting said roller to said first and second carrying plates for rotation with respect to said first and second carrying plates; and first and second stopping means for abutting with an end of each of said first and second pivot axles, respectively, to allow some axial movement of said roller but limit the axial movement of said roller in each respective axial direction, each of said first and second stopping means comprising a closing plate mounted to a corresponding one of said first and second carrying plates, respectively, and having a recess formed therein, said recess defining a stopping surface disposed at an oblique angle relative to said common pivot axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said first and second pivot axles are loosely rotatably mounted in said first and second recesses, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 2, wherein said first and second pivot axles are attached to said roller and extend therefrom through said first and second recesses, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said first and second pivot axles are attached to said roller and extend therefrom through said first and second recesses, respectively.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said first and second carrying plates are formed of steel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said first and second pivot axles have a common pivot axis; and first and second substance restraining plates are mounted about said first and second pivot axles, respectively, and extend perpendicular to said common pivot axis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 6, wherein said first and second restraining plates are disposed between said first carrying plate and one end of said roller and said second carrying plate and the other end of said roller, respectively.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus as recited in claim 7, further comprising a restraining board; and means, on said first and second restraining plates, for mounting said restraining board generally parallel to said common pivot axis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
