INKING MACHINE FOR STAMPING AND STAMPING MACHINES

摘要

An inking mechanism for franking or price stamping machines having a printing drum, includes a common housing having an ink storage trough formed therein, an ink application roller, an inking roller and an ink transport roller each being disposed in the common housing, a friction wheel connected to the ink application roller, the friction wheel being driven by the printing drum for driving the ink application roller, the inking roller having a cylindrical surface being contacted along the entire width thereof by the ink application roller for driving the inking roller, two friction rings connected to the ink transport roller, the ink transport roller being partially disposed in the ink storage trough and being driven by the inking roller through the friction rings, the ink transport roller accumulating a wedge-shaped ink quantity from the ink storage trough between the ink transport roller and the inking roller when the ink transport roller is rotating, and a wiper contacting the inking roller down stream of the wedge-shaped ink quantity, as seen in direction of rotation of the inking roller, for metering the ink quantity.
