Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing unit cylinder with a filler arranged in its cylinder pit.
  • Fig.1 shows a blanket cylinder (1), on the cylinder jacket (2) in a generally known manner, a blanket (3) is stretched.
  • the rubber blanket (3) consists of a lower carrier layer (4), for example made of fabric, and an overlying cover layer (5), for example made of rubber.
  • the ends (6, 7) of the rubber blanket (3) are fastened in the cylinder pit (8), which extends in the axial direction, to the rubber blanket (3) using generally known means, not shown, for example tensioning spindles.
  • the rubber blanket (3) is pulled over the pit edges (9, 10).
  • a preferably metallic filler (13) is inserted into the cylinder pit (8) in the middle third of the rubber cylinder (1), ie inserted through the pit opening (12) and by means of screws (not shown) which pass through a bore (14) in the Filler (13) are guided, screwed to the threaded hole (15) of the pit floor (11).
  • the filler (3) should preferably be dimensioned such that it is supported at least in the area of the pit opening (12) on a pit edge (10) in order to be able to absorb forces acting in the circumferential direction, which, under unfavorable conditions, cause the filler (13 ) in the cylinder pit (8) or in the pit opening (12).
  • the rubber cylinder (1) rotates in the direction of the arrow and can be attached to another rubber blanket cylinder, which is indicated at 1 ', see above. that a face print and a back print on one between the can be applied to both cylinders 1, 1 'passed printing medium.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the filler (13) which is inserted into the cylinder pit (8) via the pit opening (12).
  • the cover layer or the entire rubber blanket (5) on both sides of the pit opening (12) is removed over the length of the filler piece (13) in the longitudinal direction of the pit or in the axial direction of the printing unit cylinder (1), so that the carrier layer (4) only extends over this area.
  • the fabric of the rubber blanket (3) is inserted into the cylinder pit (8), as indicated at (17) and (18).
  • the filler (13) is preferably made of metal and, viewed in the circumferential direction, has a width which is slightly larger than the width of the pit opening (12).
  • the radial length or height of the filler (13) is dimensioned such that the jacket contour (16) of the filler (13) comes to lie in the range ⁇ 0.05 mm above or below the bearer ring. If the invention is used in a bearerless printing machine .., the height of the filler (3) must be such that the outer contour of the filler (16) is ⁇ 0.05 mm above or below the theoretical pitch circle of the drive gears.
  • the surface of the filler (13), i.e. its curved contour (16) must therefore be at most 0.05 mm below the associated bearer ring or the associated theoretical pitch circle or at most 0.05 mm above the bearer ring or the theoretical pitch circle.
  • the curvature of the contour (16) should preferably correspond to the curvature of the bearer ring or the curvature of the theoretical pitch circle. This means that the surface or contour (16) of the filling piece is not curved as much as the blanket cylinder 1, which is smaller in diameter.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention on a blanket cylinder (19), on the jacket (20) of which a blanket (21) with a cover layer (22) and a carrier layer (23) is also stretched in the manner already described.
  • the ends (27, 28) of the rubber blanket (1) are fixed in the cylinder pit (24), for example with the aid of tensioning spindles, not shown, and the rubber blanket (21) is pulled over pit edges (25, 26).
  • the blanket cylinder (19) according to FIG. 3 has flats (33, 34) on both sides of the pit opening (29).
  • the circular-cylindrical contour (32) of the filler (31) should be between ⁇ 0.05 mm above or below the bearer rings used, which are indicated in part (44) or, in the case of bearer rings without bearers, above and below the theoretical pitch circle, which is also at (45) is indicated.
  • the filler piece (31) is approximately mushroom-shaped in cross section according to the embodiment of FIG. 3, so that the lateral areas or Extend the side parts over the flat (33 and 34) of the cylinders (13, 19 1 ). Particularly at lower operating speeds of a printing press, this advantageously prevents adjacent printing unit cylinders (19, 19 ') from moving towards one another when the flats (33 or 34) are reached.
  • Fig. 4 shows a possibility of attaching a filler, here designated (35), with its shaft (36) to the pit floor (39) with the aid of two holding rails (37 and 38).
  • This allows the filler (35) to be inserted into the pit in a simple manner and then by means of a corresponding axial displacement between the. Brackets (37, 38) can be pushed.
  • the two side regions or parts are indicated at (42, 43), which cover flats when used in a cylinder pit.
