Abstract:
An ink fountain for a rotogravure press which is pivotally mounted and can be tilted down away from the printing cylinder for cleaning the fountain pan or changing the cylinder. A cover system for enclosing the cylinder when the pan is in its operative position and which will automatically cam off or lift away from the cylinder as the pan is lowered away from it. The cover system is hinged to the pan and can be swung away from the pan so as to uncover the pan and cylinder for easy cleaning and replacement.
