Abstract
An apparatus for transferring ink to the printing plate of a metering head of a metering machine has an ink storage roller mounted on a roller support with which it is interchangeably inserted through a lateral opening in the metering machine casing. On one end of the roller support, a handle is provided which is located laterally on the casing, thereby preventing contact with the ink storage roller during replacement. The insertion of a new ink storage roller is facilitated by a fixed bearing bolt on which is mounted the hollow shaft of the roller support. A protective sleeve connected to the back of the casing wall prevents unauthorized access to the metering head of the metering machine through the casing opening.
