ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for successive printing of cylindrical objects includes a driven carrying wheel; a number of spindles on the wheel freely rotatable about their longitudinal axes parallel to the axis of rotation of the carrying wheel; a printing station radially adjacent the path of the spindles for successively printing the objects; and structure for detecting possible absence of an object and connected to control and deflection structure for temporary deflection of the spindle path out of printing contact. Each spindle is carried by a carriage which can move radially of the carrying wheel and which is guided by a first guide member and a second guide member which cooperates with a guide groove for determining the path of the spindle carried by the carriage. Each spindle is carried such that the pressure force applied thereto during printing of an object can substantially be absorbed without moment by both guide members. The deflection structure is formed such that a deflection-guide groove part at the printing stations can move between an active printing position and an inactive deflecting position with the printing position being stable in relation to the pressure force applied.
