Abstract
A vibrator roll assembly for use in spreading, smoothing and transferring wet ink within a wet ink transfer system of a printing and decorating apparatus wherein a vibrator roll is mounted on a shaft that is supported in a fixed support plate for rotational and reciprocal movement relative thereto. The shaft is rotated by a connecting assembly and a first portion of a reciprocating assembly is attached to the shaft for rotation therewith. A second portion of the reciprocating assembly is mounted on the connecting assembly for rotation relative thereto. The first portion and the second portion of the reciprocating assembly are rotated to have different rotational speeds. Actuating apparatus on the first and second portions are responsive to the difference in the rotational speeds thereof to reciprocate the shaft.
