ABSTRACT:
A printing device for printing cylindrical objects, such as wheels, comprises a printing stereotype having a cylindrically arcuate printing surface and which is rotatably mounted at a fixed position alongside a pivotal workpiece mounting support. A workpiece holder is rotatably mounted on the support and it may be moved toward and away from the printing stereotype in order to move the workpiece holder in directions to make it possible to engage the printing stereotype on the surface of a workpiece and to thereafter move it out of engagement therewith. The construction includes a carrier ribbon containing thermoplastic ink which is trained to run between the workpiece holder and the printing stereotype in order to effect transfer of the printed image to the article to be printed. A positive gear drive transmission is connected to the printing stereotype and to the workpiece support and effects rotation of the stereotype and the associated arcuate printing surface and rotation of the workpiece support in a fixed angular velocity speed ratio.
