A decorator assembly is provided. The decorator assembly includes a number of independent ink stations. Each independent ink station is disposed adjacent to the path of travel of the mandrels.

The present invention relates to a fixture for on-line wheel printing, which is composed of a stand, a servo motor, a flip plate, air cylinders and the like. When in use, the fixture provided by the present invention can meet the requirement for quickly printing a pattern on a fixed window of wheel on line, and meanwhile, has the characteristics of advanced technology, high automation degree, safe and stable performance.

A printed matter formed by pushing a printing surface of a printing pad to transfer ink placed on the printing surface, the printed matter including: a base body made of a material that allows transmission of light, a visible surface of the base body having a three-dimensional surface structure having a depth; a print image region provided on at least one surface of the base body, the print image region being a region in which ink is placed; and a non-printing region provided on the one surface, the non-printing region being a region in which no ink is placed, wherein the print image region is provided in an area including the three-dimensional surface structure formed on the one surface, and the print image region has a smaller amount of light transmitted than the non-printing region.

A masking fixture for coating dishware includes a support base having a first ferromagnetic member and a contoured support surface configured for engagement with a lower contour of the dishware. A mask base includes a second ferromagnetic member. The second ferromagnetic member is magnetically attracted to the first ferromagnetic member. The mask base includes a mask guide. A mask includes a masking surface configured for engagement with the upper contour. The mask is moveably coupled to the mask guide for movement between an engaged position in which the masking surface is engageable with the upper contour and a disengaged position. The mask can be moved to the disengaged position to facilitate removal of the mask base from the dishware after a coating operation.

A marking system for springs comprises: an arranging apparatus for arranging a spring; and a marking apparatus for applying an identification mark on the spring. The marking apparatus comprises: a frame having a space for marking therein; a pad unit for applying a mark on the spring located in the frame; and an ink unit for supplying ink to the pad unit.

A decorator assembly is provided. The decorator assembly includes a mandrel turret assembly. The mandrel turret assembly includes a rotatable turret, a number of mandrels, and a number of independent ink stations. Each mandrel is rotatably coupled to the turret. Each mandrel extends generally radially from the turret and is disposed generally in a plane about an axis of rotation. The turret is structured to rotate about an axis of rotation thereby moving each mandrel over a generally circular path of travel. Each independent ink station is disposed adjacent to the path of travel of the mandrels.

The compensation method includes an importing step, an analyzing step, an identifying step, a comparing step, and a compensating step. The importing step includes obtaining a template pattern and an initial pad printed image. The analyzing step includes analyzing the initial pad printed image to generate a plurality of sample feature points. The identifying step includes identifying the coordinates of each of the sample feature points to generate corresponding sample feature point coordinates. The comparing step includes comparing the sample feature point coordinates to template sample feature point coordinates to generate a coordinate change result. The compensating step includes generating a compensation pattern based on the coordinate change result and the template pattern.

A method of manufacturing a cover window includes: providing first ink to a printing plate, transferring the first ink to a first pad including a pad central area including a central portion of a bottom surface and a pad peripheral area surrounding the pad central area and including a pad groove, and transferring the first ink to a cover window substrate from the first pad, where the transferring of the first ink to the first pad includes transferring the first ink to the pad peripheral area.

A pad printing device includes: a jig body having a jig recess in an upper surface thereof; a pad on the jig body; and a plurality of guide pins on side portions of the jig body. The jig recess is configured to accommodate a window, and the guide pins are configured to reciprocate toward the jig recess.

An apparatus is disclosed for printing images on generally cylindrical objects. The apparatus comprises an impression station that includes a movable imaging surface for bearing an ink image; and a transport mechanism for advancing the objects through the impression station, comprising a drive member rotatably connected to a plurality of rotatable mandrels, each for mounting a respective one of the objects, the transport mechanism being configured to cause each object to rotate during passage through the impression station such that, within a nip region of the impression station, the surface of the object makes rolling contact with the imaging surface, thereby causing the ink image to be impressed on the object. An impression platen is provided opposite the imaging surface within the nip region, the impression platen being configured to apply a force, directly or indirectly, to the objects to ensure rolling contact between the objects and the imaging surface.
