Abstract

An ink duct for rotary printing presses with zone-wide metering elements disposed side by side and adjustable a variable spaced distance from an ink duct cylinder, each of the metering elements having support and metering regions disposed in the axial direction of the ink duct cylinder, the support regions resting independently of one another, under spring pressure, at least indirectly on the ink duct cylinder, and the metering regions extending in a wedgelike manner, the metering elements being swivelably supported and being coverable by an elastic foil secured to the ink duct, comprising support bodies disposed on the metering elements at both sides of the metering regions, the metering regions being cylindrical and being formed on the metering elements, the support bodies having a circumference formed with a flattened contact surface portion by which the support bodies at least indirectly rest, under the spring pressure, on the jacket surface of the ink duct cylinder.
