Pad printing machine frame and machine frame

摘要

Pad printing machine with a machine frame (10), wherein the machine frame (10) a plurality of rod elements (12) with a cylindrically shaped mounting portion (16) and at least one, preferably plate-like design carrier element (18, 20) with openings (17) or recesses for the rod elements (12), wherein the rod elements (12) by means of a connecting device (22) in a respective opening (17) or recess with the carrier element (18, 20) are connectable to the machine frame (10) in an assembled state (MS) to form, with an axial direction (24) and a radial direction (26), wherein the connecting means (22), at least one clamping element (32), in particular in the form of a clamping screw (32), a clamping element (30) and in the assembled state (MS) as a clamping sleeve acting sleeve element (34) and in the opening (17) or recess of the support member (18, 20) is arranged, wherein the sleeve member (34) flans is formed with an outer flange portion (36) with a contact surface (38) axially against the carrier element (18, 20), and wherein the sleeve element (34) with a sleeve-forming radially inner portion (48) the cylindrically shaped attachment portion (16 ) of the rod member (12) and in the assembled state (MS) with a contact surface (62) on the mounting portion (16) clamped, wherein in the radial direction (26) between the sleeve member (34) and one of the opening (17) or recess delimiting wall (52) of the support member (18, 20) is a, preferably annular, gap (54) which tapers in the axial direction (24) to the outer flange portion (36) of the sleeve member (34) wedge-shaped, and wherein the clamping element (30) is received in the gap (54) and is pulled axially deeper into the gap (54) by tightening the clamping element (32) and thereby the sleeve element (34) with its Contact surface (62) radially inwardly against the mounting portion (16) of the rod member (12) is pressed, whereby in the sequence, the connecting means (22) between the rod element (12) and support element (18, 20) is clamped and thus also the rod element ( 12) is clamped against the carrier element (18, 20) is fixed.
