Abstract
An inking apparatus for rotary printing machines includes a rotatably mounted, drivable ink roller and at least one ink container mounted such that it can be swivelled away from the roller, favoring cleaning and ink change. The swivelably mounted ink container permits the ink container to be emptied in an operator-friendly fashion avoiding ink residues to the greatest possible extent and also permits thorough cleaning of the ink container and the roller with good accessibility. The roller is mounted in a separate holder and the holder is mounted in the frame in such a way as to be swivelable separately from as well as together with the ink container.
