Abstract
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.
