A device for loading an ink fountain of a printing press directly from sealed cans of ink. The device includes a base plate having a pair of vertical threaded pillars laterally spaced to define a working area adequate to accommodate cans of ink in all normally available sizes. A pressure plate flatly superimposed above the working area has captive bushings which threadedly engage the pillars, the bushings being rotated in unison for lowering the pressure plate to the base plate. An aperture is generally centered in the base plate. Thus when the base plate is seated above the fountain and a can of ink having a puncture alined with the aperture is engaged between the pressure plate and the base plate, ink is squeezed through the aperture directly into the fountain accompanied by accordion type collapse of the can into empty flattened condition.

A device for loading an ink fountain of a printing press from sealed cans of ink having parallel end surfaces and a continuous cylindrical wall made of thin axially collapsible material comprising, in combination, a base plate having vertical pillars secured thereto and laterally spaced to provide a flat working area free of lateral confinement and adequate to accommodate cans of ink of normally available size, a pressure plate flatly superimposed above the working area and supported on said pillars, the pressure plate and base plate being dimensioned to extend laterally beyond the can in all directions, the base plate having an aperture generally centered therein, a manually controlled driving means interposed between the pillars and the pressure plate for lowering the pressure plate parallel to the base plate so that when the base plate is seated above the fountain and a can of ink having a puncture aligned with the aperture is engaged between the pressure plate and the base plate, ink is squeezed through the aperture directly into the fountain accompanied by accordion-type collapse of the can to empty flattened condition.
