Abstract: This invention relates to a printing device of products (5) through an intermediate carrier (20), in particular of the pad (4) type, which is remarkable in that it consists of a combined intermediate support, respectively pad printing system for printing objects of the type including control surfaces, consisting of a pad based transfer system for transferring media via pad, with the endless belt, and a method therefor.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for inking an engraved printing plate from an ink tank and for scraping off the ink in dab printing, characterised in that a doctor blade (8) is used, of which at least the bottom edge, which comes into contact with the printing plate (9), is adjusted with respect to the printing plate (9) at a negative angle, measured with respect to the portion of the printing plate that is inked and to be scraped off.

Abstract: A device for printing products with significant variations between them by means of a pad (24, . . . , 84), in particular for confectionery, sugared almonds, chocolates and pharmaceutical tablets comprising at least one pad (24, . . . , 84) with a primary guide (25, . . . , 85) provided for the main movement of the pad (24, . . . , 84), which provides for a movement function, remarkable in that at least one secondary guide (26, . . . , 86; 27, . . . , 87) is provided as buffer element for buffering the differences in effective deposit depth between the individual products to be printed (23, . . . , 83).

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for printing three-dimensional objects, particularly objects having a substantially spherical shape. A pad is provided for printing by means of pad printing. The pad has a silicon shape with a determined thickness, and is mounted on a hollow pad holder made of an undeformable material which constitutes an isolated space together with the silicon shape. The pad is supplied with compressed air and is connected to a pressure vessel by means of a main element provided therefor through an opening. The apparatus is arranged in open loop, wherein there is provided an additional separate aperture for a separate inlet and outlet of air, with a pressure regulating unit enabling the pressure in the pad to be maintained greater than or at a preset level P. The pressure regulating unit regulates the compressed air which enters the regulator through a supply main.

Abstract: Printing arrangement, characterized in that it consists in the combination of a frame (2), a printing roller (3) mounted rotatably in the frame (2); an ink roller (4) cooperating with the printing roller (3); and coupling means (5) for making the printing roller (3) cooperate with an external drive.

Abstract: A pad printing machine includes: a cliche plate; a pad disposed above the cliche plate; and a transmission mechanism operatively connected to the cliche plate and to the pad. The transmission mechanism includes a main shaft; a main arm connected to the cliche plate and pivotably mounted on the main shaft; a pivot arrangement connected to the main arm; a lever pivotably mounted on the pivot arrangement and being connected to the pad; and an arrangement for controlling a pivoting motion of the main arm and the lever including: a first cam operatively coupled to the main arm; a groove disposed in one of the first cam and the main arm for controlling a pivoting motion of the main arm in response to a rotation of the first cam; and a second cam operatively coupled to the lever such that a rotation of the second cam controls a pivoting motion of the lever. The transmission mechanism further includes a drive for actuating the transmission mechanism to move the cliche plate and the pad.
