Abstract (en)
The disclosure relates to a mailing machine (10) comprising a rotatable drum (42) including a printing die (44) peripherally extending therefrom, structure (46, 48) for intermittently rotating the drum to move the printing die in a predetermined circularly-extending path of travel, a receptacle (110), and an inking cartridge (112) removably mountable in the receptacle and comprising: a generally rectangularly-shaped hollow housing having opposed side walls (118) and having an edge wall (174) extending between the side walls, the walls defining an aperture formed in the housing; a reservoir roller (166) impregnated with printing ink and rotatably connected to the side walls so as to extend therebetween; a transfer roller (168) impregnated with printing ink and rotatably connected to the side walls so as to extend therebetween and be accessible via the housing aperture; the reservoir and transfer rollers being respectively dimensioned for rolling engagement with each other to cause ink from the reservoir roller to be transferred to the transfer roller, and the transfer roller being dimensioned for disposition in the path of travel of the printing die when the cartridge is mounted in the receptacle to permit engagement by the printing die for transferring printing ink from the transfer roller to the printing die. <IMAGE>
