ABSTRACT:
In a pellet marking apparatus of the type comprising, a frame, printing means comprising a design roller and a resilient printing roller mounted on the frame, an ink reservoir mounted on the frame, hopper means into which a multiplicity of pellets or the like are to be loaded, and a conveyor for transporting the pellets from the hopper and presenting them to the printing means for marking the pellets with the desired indicia, the improvement comprising hinge means for moving the printing means between an operative position in which the design roller is immersed in the ink reservoir and the printing roller is in position to contact pellets on the conveyor, and a dwell position in which the design roll is not in contact with the reservoir and the printing roller is spaced from the conveyor in a position so as not to contact pellets thereon. The hinge means functions to permit quick replenishment of the ink reservoir when dry without necessitating removal of the design roll, printing roll, or any other member from the mechanism.
