COMPOSITE FOUNTAIN BLADE CONSTRUCTION FOR REMOTE INK CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

An ink fountain blade assembly which includes a rigid backing member and a plurality of identical blade sections secured to the surface of the backing closely edge to edge and extending cantilever fashion to present a common substantially continuous film-forming edge for presentation to the surface of an associated fountain roller, one lateral edge of each of the blade sections being relieved along its cantilevered portion by an amount which is sufficient to permit freedom of adjusting movement toward and away from the roller but which is less than that which will leak a body of ink supported on the blade sections. Each blade section is chamfered in a rear corner position to provide distinctive visual indication, for assembly purposes of the edge which has been relieved.
