Abstract

A rotatable ink reservoir which is caused to rotate by engagement with a rotatably mounted printing roller has its ink continually replenished in proportion to the rotation of the printing roller by a container of ink having a ball feed discharge element that is mounted on an arm adjacent to the conveyor so that it engages the upper surface of the ink reservoir spaced from its axis.
