Combined ink fountain and blade mounted to move along length of fountain roll

摘要

An inking device comprises an ink fountain device including a blade provided so as to be movable toward and away from a circumferential surface of an ink fountain roller, a pair of side plates provided in both side end portions of the blade, and a holder for supporting the blade and the pair of side plates. The ink fountain device is supported on an ink fountain support member so as to be movable along an axial direction of the ink fountain roller. The ink fountain support member extends along the axial direction of the ink fountain roller. The side plates are always urged toward the ink fountain roller by compression springs, and are pivotably supported, so that the side plates are automatically brought into intimate contact with the circumferential surface of the ink fountain roller.
