This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18701178 titled 'SERVICING PRINT BLANKETS



Original Abstract Submitted

In an example of the disclosure, a system to service a print blanket includes a rotatably mounted endless cleaning surface (“ECS”), a doctor blade, a heating element, and a container. The ECS is to carry a polymeric material and positioned to engage the print blanket. The doctor blade is disposed in relationship to the ECS and to a container to scrape a portion of the polymeric material from the ECS into the container. The heating element is to heat the container. The container is positioned to collect the scraped portion of polymeric material, and make heated polymeric material available to be picked up by the ECS as the ECS is rotated adjacent to the container.
