CA 2362340

A continuous motion can decorator includes a plurality of mandrel subassemblies (40) mounted on a rotating carrier (18) with equal spacings between adjacent subassemblies (40). The assemblies (40) reciprocate radially with respect to the carrier axis (80) as a center. Each subassembly (40) includes a radially extending support arm (41) that mounts a radially extending mono rail (51) which extends through guide bearing units (90) on the carrier (18). An eccentric type mounting is provided for the mandrel axle on the reciprocating arm (41) so that there is an individually operated means to adjust spacing between the carrier rotational axis and the mandrel axis. Vacuum and pressurized air are fed selectively to each mandrel subassembly (40) through a flexible hose (83) having a single loop that is formed by curving virtually the entire length of the hose (83).

La présente invention concerne un appareil en mouvement continu de décoration de boîtes métalliques, qui comprend plusieurs sous-ensembles de mandrins (40) montés sur un support rotatif (18), les espacements angulaires entre les sous-ensembles adjacents (40) étant égaux. Lesdits sous-ensembles (40) effectuent un mouvement alternatif radial par rapport à l'axe de support (80) servant de centre. Chaque sous-ensemble (40) comprend un bras de support s'étendant radialement (41) et monté sur un monorail (51) s'étendant radialement par des unités de paliers guides (90) situées sur le support (18). Un montage de type excentrique relatif à l'essieu du mandrin est situé sur le bras à mouvement alternatif (41), constituant ainsi un organe indépendant servant à régler l'espacement entre l'axe rotatif du support et l'axe du mandrin. De l'air sous pression et à vide est injecté de manière sélective dans chaque sous-ensemble de mandrin (40) par l'intermédiaire d'un tuyau flexible (83) courbé sur pratiquement toute sa longueur et formant ainsi une seule boucle.
