Abstract
A rotary printing press has one or two inking rollers each in rolling engagement with both an ink supply cylinder and a plate cylinder. Each inking roller is identically supported by a first pair of roller support members mounted one adjacent each end of the ink supply cylinder for pivotal motion about the axis of that cylinder, and a second pair of roller support members mounted to the first pair for pivotal motion about an axis parallel to the axis of the ink supply cylinder, the second pair of roller support members rotatably supporting one inking roller therebetween. Adjusting screws act between the two pairs of roller support members for adjustably varying the nip width between the ink supply cylinder and each inking roller. The axis of each inking roller, and the axis of the pivotal motion of the second pair of roller support members relative to the first, are both so positioned that the width of the nip between the ink supply cylinder and each inking roller is adjustably variable without substantially varying the nip width between the inking roller and the plate cylinder.
