A non-rotating wedge-shaped ink agitator which reciprocates within an ink fountain along the length of an ink fountain roller. The ink agitator has a substantially flat bottom surface, side surfaces extending upwardly and outwardly from the bottom surface and a top surface which slopes toward the end of the agitator adjacent the ink fountain roller.

Wedge shaped ink agitator for printing presses

A positioning mechanism for locating the edge of an ink metering means with respect to the ink fountain roller of a printing press. The positioning mechanism includes a metering means support block which is pivotally mounted to the press frame and on which the metering means is mounted. There is a torsion bar to which are keyed a first lever means. The first lever means is pivotally connected to a second lever means. The second lever means is also pivotally connected to the press frame. The torsion bar has mounted thereon a worm gear which is in mesh with a worm operated by a handle to cause pivotal movement of the metering means support block. The ink metering means support block has stop means thereon in the form of curved surfaces or cheeks. The curved surfaces or cheeks directly engage the ink fountain roller to precisely position the metering means with respect to the ink fountain roller.

The invention relates to a method of joining at least two layers of material one of which is made of weldable material. At least one of the layers of material has an opening therein for receiving a ball of weldable material so that the ball rests in contact with the layer of weldable material. The diameter of the hole is in the range of 94% to 96% the diameter of the ball. The diameter of the ball is in the range of 2T to 5T where T is the thickness of the layer of material having the opening therein. Heat and pressure are applied in sufficient amounts and for a sufficient time to weld the ball to the layer of weldable material. The ball is deformed so that it overlaps the other layer in part so as to attach the two layers.
