Abstract: The doctor blade holder (7) comprises: a plurality of fingers (35) mounted on a beam (9), hinged around a rotation axis (37A) and configured to cumulatively form a housing seat (41) for the doctor blade (43); wherein the fingers (35) are pivotable independently from one another around said rotation axis (37A); at least one actuator (51) comprising at least one chamber (53) that can be inflated with pressurized fluid, configured and arranged so as to generate a thrust (f53) on the fingers (35) to make them pivot around said rotation axis (37A). Each finger (35) can be mounted and removed independently from the others on said beam (9).

Abstract: A doctor blade holder (7) for a doctor blade (43) adapted to coact with a cylindrical surface (1S) of a rotating cylinder (1). A plurality of fingers (35) are mounted on a beam (9), hinged around a rotation axis (37A) and configured to cumulatively form a housing seat (41) for the doctor blade (43). The fingers (35) are pivotable independently from one another around the rotation axis (37A). At least one elastic thrust member (51) is configured and arranged to generate a thrust on the fingers (35) to make them pivot around the rotation axis (37A). Each finger (35) has a locking element (67), to rigidly lock the finger to the beam (9).
