20080276813 | Method and Apparatus for Printing a Patterned Layer on a Flatsubstate with a Flat-Type-Bed - A method of printing a patterned layer comprises (step | 11-13-2008 |
20090178583 | PAD PRINTING SYSTEM WITH INDEPENDENT AND VARIABLE COMPRESSION DEVICE - A pad printing system includes a doctor assembly comprising a cliché, an ink cup, and a variable hold down force system configured to apply a variable force to the ink cup and doctor assembly responsive to a direction of travel. | 07-16-2009 |
20090277349 | ROTATING CLICHE PAD PRINTER - A rotating cliché pad printer includes a frame, a flat cliché operably mounted to the frame, an ink cup configured to reside on the cliché and a pad applicator. The cliché includes at least one etched region and is adapted to receive ink thereon in the etched region. The ink cup is configured to reside on the cliché and to deposit ink into the at least one etched region. The cliché and ink cup are rotatably movable relative to one another. The pad applicator includes at least one pad adapted to move into and out of contact with the at least one etched region to receive ink from the etched region. The pad is further configured to contact an associated object to transfer the received ink to the associated object. | 11-12-2009 |
20100095859 | Ink Cup Assembly - An ink cup assembly for a printing machine is disclosed as including an outer cup body with a recess, and an inner cup body with a cavity for containing an ink, the inner cup body being made of polyethylene, and a main body portion of the inner cup body is received within the recess of the outer cup body for releasably engaging the inner cup body with the outer cup body. | 04-22-2010 |
20110011290 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS APPLYING A DESIGN ON A MEDIUM - Disclosed herein are systems and methods for applying a design on a medium. In some embodiments, the system includes a letterpress assembly having a base and platen that may be configured in an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the base receives the medium and the platen receives a printing plate. The printing plate may include the design to be applied to the medium. A roller assembly may then receive the letterpress assembly in the closed configuration and may exert a compressive force on the letterpress assembly. The compressive force brings the medium into contact with the printing plate and applies the design on the medium. | 01-20-2011 |
20110023737 | PAD PRINGTING MACHINE - A pad printing machine comprising at least one inverted planetary roller threaded drive ( | 02-03-2011 |
20110023738 | PAD PRINTING MACHINE - A pad printing machine including at least one pad holder and an object carrier which is positionally displaceably relative to the pad holder and is designed to receive one or more objects, where said pad printing machine further comprises a setup print image receiving element at a fixed distance from the object carrier, further an image recorder to generate an image of at least one zone of the setup print image receiving element, a position deviation detector ascertaining the deviation of the actual position of a print image situated on the print image receiving element from a reference position defined by reference data, and a position shift ascertaining element to ascertain the shift of the object carrier relative to a reference position, as well as a method for printing objects using a pad printing machine. | 02-03-2011 |
20120073459 | PAD PRINTING MACHINE - A pad printing machine with a holder for a printing plate includes an ink supply device having a hollow body which rests with its front face on the printing plate during operation of the machine, a device for producing a relative movement between the printing plate and the hollow body, and a printing pad which can be pressed onto the inked printing plate and receives the ink from recesses in the printing plate and transfers the ink to an object to be printed. The drive assembly for the relative movement between the hollow body and the printing plate has a rotatably driven first cam and the drive assembly for the pad has a rotatably driven second cam, wherein both cams are arranged on a single control disc. | 03-29-2012 |
20130000500 | PAD PRINTING MACHINE - A pad printing machine includes a printing plate holder, a printing plate attached on the printing plate holder, a device for inking the printing plate, and a pad configured to lift the ink off the printing plate and transferring the ink to an object to be printed. At least one of the printing plate holder, the device for inking the printing plate and the pad is moveably arranged, with the printing plate being supported for displacement and rotation. | 01-03-2013 |
