  • Patent number: 8347786
    Abstract: An ink chamber doctor blade for acting upon an ink transfer roll of a rotary press with a fluid, in particular with a printing ink, has an ink chamber, which is filled with ink during printing, and which extends in an axial direction of the ink transfer roll, and two doctor blades which are in physical contact with the ink transfer roll during printing and which extend in the axial direction of the ink transfer roll. At least one additional doctor blade can be inserted into the ink chamber doctor blade and can be fixed by holding devices inside the ink chamber. The holding device has at least one element, which is pretensioned by elastic force against at least one counter holder, and with which the additional doctor blade can be pressed against the counter holder.

  • Publication number: 20100319558
    Abstract: The invention describes a chamber doctor blade (1) for a rotary press to be applied to an ink transfer roller (2) of a rotary press. This chamber doctor blade (1) comprises a doctor blade base (3) which, when applied to the ink transfer roller (2), extends in the axial direction thereof and which comprises at least one groove-type recess (7) extending in the direction of extension, at least two doctor blades (9) which are disposed in a roof-like manner and at least the edges of which can be applied to the ink transfer roller, front walls (15) which laterally separate the at least one groove-type recess from the surroundings and at least one separating device (16) in the groove-type recess, which separating device divides the groove-type recess into a main chamber (18) and one or more secondary chambers (17). The at least one separating device (16) has at least one opening (19).
