ABSTRACT:
Printing apparatus especially useful for printing on the generally horizontal upper surface of the upper uninflated bag of a stack of generally flat, uninflated bags, while an inflated bag is positioned thereabove at the top of the stack for subsequently receiving a product therein.
It includes a print head having a print face, preferably horizontally positioned, and print head carrier means for moving the print head from an inoperative position to a remote printing position along a curved path, its motion being initially away from the inoperative position, preferably in a generally horizontal direction, and finally toward the printing position in a generally perpendicular, preferably vertical, direction to the upper surface of the upper, uninflated bag for printing its upper surface.
There may be included bag deflecting means for deflecting the inflated bag from the printing position to expose at least a portion of the upper surface of the upper, uninflated bag for printing thereon. The deflecting means may consist of an air jet mounted adjacent the print head for movement therewith to deflect the inflated bag in advance of print head movement.
