Definitions
- the invention relates to a clamping device for cylinders for flexible printing plates or printing blankets on printing presses, which are provided at their ends with bevels or reinforcement angles which can be fastened to a slotted shaft, the shaft being prestressed by means of a torsion bar spring.
- Known cylinders contain fastening parts for printing plates in their interior. Due to the weakening of the effective cross-section of the cylinder, these relatively large-sized fastening parts reduce the strength of the cylinder, so that the rotary motion is deteriorated overall in the printing process.
- Known methods for quickly mounting printing plates on printing cylinders enable rapid attachment, but accept the lower quality of the printed product due to the lower strength of the plate cylinder.
- printing plates which consist of a carrier plate made of metal (steel, aluminum or the like) or a corresponding plastic and a photopolymer layer, the printing plate is in turn attached to the saddle plate.
- a carrier plate made of metal (steel, aluminum or the like) or a corresponding plastic and a photopolymer layer
- the printing plate is in turn attached to the saddle plate.
- Such devices are known.
- Has plate cylinder namely so that the head of a printing plate can be attached in the right direction. If the tensioning shaft has not been installed in this way, the entire insert, which includes the torsion tensioning spring and also the tensioning shaft, is pulled out and rotated and reinserted by 180 °.
- the invention is concerned with the problem of avoiding this conversion, which is undesirable per se.
- the tensioning device could be fastened by means of Allen screws which are screwed into the pressure cylinder from the outer circumference.
- Allen screws which are screwed into the pressure cylinder from the outer circumference.
- the countersunk space for the head of the screws must be filled in using a plastic plug. If the insert is to be removed later, then it is quite cumbersome to remove the plastic plug again. Therefore, in one embodiment of the tensioning device according to the invention, the tensioning device itself is fastened to the pressure cylinder by a screw which is located in the inner region of the tensioning device facility is located. At this point, however, the screw would not be accessible if the shaft itself were not provided with a correspondingly large through hole.
- the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.
- FIG. 2 shows a corresponding illustration on an enlarged scale, pressure plates also being shown in the clamping position.
- 3 shows a modified embodiment of a tensioning device according to the invention.
- Fig. 4 shows details of that shown in Fig. 3
- 20 denotes the recess in a plate cylinder.
- An insert or the device referred to overall as a clamping device fits into this recess.
- the tensioning device comprises a shaft 10 and the torsion spring 13.
- the tensioning shaft is provided with two slots 11 and 12, which are arranged symmetrically to the central position of the shaft. With 20 is the opening through which access to the tension shaft 10 is possible.
- At 14 and 15 there are two
- Pressure plates referred to which have angular parts at their end that can be fixed on corresponding parts. One end is attached directly to the pressure cylinder, while the other end is secured in one of the slots 11 or 12 of the slot shaft 10.
- Fig. 1 it can also be seen that with the help of suitable tools and by a pivoting movement, the shaft 10 can be pivoted against the action of the force of the torsion bar spring 13.
- the screw can be seen on the left, with the help of which the clamping device is attached to the pressure cylinder.
- FIG. 4 shows the shaft 10, which has a through hole 30. If the shaft is in the central position 10, a screw can be turned with a suitable tool through this through hole 30, which is located in a countersink hole 31 and fastens the clamping device to the pressure cylinder.
- FIG. 3 shows how the force of the torsion bar spring 13 can be transmitted to the shaft 10.
- a gear or toothed segment 32 is attached to the shaft, which meshes with another gear 33.
- the gear 33 is fixed to one end of the torsion bar spring 13.
- the shaft can be tensioned via the torsion bar spring 13 and the gear parts 32 and 33.
- the gear 33 can be chosen to be somewhat smaller in diameter in order to create a more space-saving embodiment.

Abstract
Dispositif de serrage pour des cylindres afin de serrer des planches d'impression pliables ou des blanchets à des imprimeuses qui sont dotées à leurs extrémités de replis ou d'angles de renfort pouvant être fixés à un arbre fendu, l'arbre étant serré au moyen d'un ressort de barre de torsion. L'arbre (10) comporte deux fentes (11, 12) opposées mutuellement.A clamping device for cylinders for clamping foldable printing boards or blankets to printers which are provided at their ends with folds or reinforcing angles which can be attached to a split shaft, the shaft being clamped by means of a torsion bar spring. The shaft (10) has two mutually opposed slots (11, 12).
