An apparatus and methods of decorating a metallic container are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods used to provide a decoration on a predetermined surface of a metallic container body. The decoration may be registered with decorations previously applied to the container body. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a screen print unit with a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body rotationally applies a predetermined type or color of ink or other coating, such as a varnish, to the cylindrical body. In one embodiment, the apparatus applies a varnish to a selected portion of the cylindrical body without applying the varnish to all of the cylindrical body. Additionally, the apparatus may also include a foiling unit that applies a label to the cylindrical body.

A printing device (1) is provided with: a can body conveying mechanism (100) for sequentially conveying can bodies (10); and a can body moving mechanism (200) for moving the can body (10) while forming an image onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10) conveyed by the can body conveying mechanism (100). The can body moving mechanism (200) is provided with a rotating member (210) formed in a disc shape and rotating in a clockwise direction in the drawing. The can body moving mechanism (200) is also provided with plural image forming units (220) provided on the rotating member (210) and forming an image onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10) while moving the can body (10). The image forming units (220) are each provided with plural ink ejection devices for ejecting ink onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10). This provides an image forming device capable of increasing the number of can bodies on each of which an image can be formed per unit time.

A positioning system for positioning a plurality of rotatable objects for processing includes a base plate that is configured to be positioned on a support surface of a processing machine. The base plate defines a plurality of alignment members to align the base plate to the support surface. The positioning system further includes at least three elongate cylindrical members that are arranged in parallel to one another and rotatably supported in alignment with the base plate. The cylindrical members are configured to support the rotatable objects. The positioning system also includes a rotation mechanism configured to cooperate with the cylindrical members and rotate the cylindrical members in synchrony so as to rotate the plurality of rotatable objects in synchrony. The positioning system further includes a rotational control mechanism configured to cooperate with the rotation mechanism to control rotation of the cylindrical members.

A pattern forming apparatus comprises: a first holder which holds a blanket carrying a pattern forming material on one surface in a horizontal posture with a carrying surface for the pattern forming material faced up; a second holder which holds a plate for patterning the pattern forming material or a substrate, to which a pattern is transferred, as a processing object such that the processing object is proximate to and facing the carrying surface of the blanket held on the first holder; and a push-up unit which partially pushes up an effective area in a central part of the blanket from a lower surface side of the blanket to bring the effective area into contact with the processing object held on the second holder and moves along the lower surface of the blanket to change a push-up position of the blanket.

A rotational and retractable container holding device and conveyor therefor in which a conveyor member is supported in cantilever fashion by support members extending along the conveying path. A plurality of container holding devices extends in a generally horizontal orientation from one side of the conveyor member and include an inner housing slidably mounted on a supporting spindle, an outer housing rotatably mounted with respect to the inner housing and slidably mounted with respect to the spindle, and a container gripping member at the outer end of the outer housing for gripping a container by its neck. The container holding device and its conveyor are particularly suited for receiving newly formed containers and for conveying the containers through a series of bottle forming operations including coating, decorating and so forth.

The continuous can printer and transfer apparatus is provided with infeed means devoid of moving parts, whereby cans move in a guided path by gravity through an inclined chute to stationary pockets on a rotatable pocket mandrel wheel where they are drawn from the pockets and seated by vacuum on mandrels which carry the cans to a printing blanket cylinder. Before contacting the rotating printing blanket, the surface speeds of the mandrel and printing cylinder are precisely matched by a pre-spin belt on the printing cylinder and rollers. Decorated cans are transferred to suction cups on a transfer wheel and discharged to a pin chain conveyor by a transfer assembly wherein all motions of the transfer cups are controlled in a radial and axial direction by a single cam motion.

Apparatus for performing a plurality of sequential operations upon each of a series of articles. In the exemplary embodiment, such apparatus is arranged to perform a two stage coating and printing operation on the outer surface of cylindrical tubes. A rotatable turret includes a first and second series of carriers angularly spaced in first and second arrays around the circumference thereof. Means are provided to index the turret to bring the tubes held in the carriers of the first array to a first operational station for coating, and the tubes held in the second array of carriers to a second operational station for printing.
摘要:
An apparatus for producing a multi-color image on an object by means of the known silk screen process, wherein there are a number of silk screens each with its own pattern, the number of screens being equal to the number of colors to be employed. Colored printing media is applied with its own doctor blade to an associated silk screen. An intermediate color carrier such as a belt or a plurality of rollers receives a colored image from each screen and applies the colored image in sequence to an article by rolling contact between the article and the intermediate belt or rollers.

A METHOD OF MARKING CANS WITH A REFLEX-REFLECTING STRIPE TO AFFORD MORE RELIABLE SORTING OF CANS IN A CANNERY. THE METHOD COMPRISES OF THE APPLICATION OF A THIN NARROW STRIPE OF A SOLVENT-CONTAINING ADHESIVE COMPOSITION TO THE CAN SURFACE, DRYING THE STRIPE TO DEVELOP A HIGHLY TACKY STRIPE ON THE CAN, APPLYING A MONOLAYER OF GLASS SPHERES TO THE STRIPE TO HOLD THE SPHERES ON THE CAN, AND PERMITTING A FURTHER DRYING OF THE COMPOSITION TO A TACK-FREE STATE. THE SOFTENING POINT OF THE COMPOSITION IN THE TACK-FREE STATE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 260*F.
