Definitions

  • the invention relates to blankets for blanket cylinders in web offset printing presses and in particular to a gap-free, sleeve-shaped blanket.
  • rubber blanket be it as an independent word or be used in word compositions, this generally means a “printing blanket made of an elastic material”.
  • a web offset printing machine typically comprises a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder and a printing cylinder, which are rotatably mounted in the printing machine.
  • the plate cylinder carries a printing plate with a hard surface, which determines the image to be printed.
  • the blanket cylinder carries a blanket with an elastic surface which comes into contact with the printing plate in the nip between the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder.
  • a web to be printed moves through the nip between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder. Color is applied to the printing plate on the plate cylinder.
  • a colored printing image is taken up by the blanket in the nip between the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder and transferred to the web.
  • the impression cylinder can be another blanket cylinder for printing on the opposite side of the web.
  • a conventional rubber blanket is made as a flat plate.
  • Such a blanket is supported on a blanket cylinder by wrapping the plate around the blanket cylinder and securing the respective ends of the plate in an axially extending gap in the blanket cylinder.
  • the adjacent respective ends of the plate define a gap which extends axially along the length of the rubber blanket.
  • the blanket nip moves through the nip between each revolution of the blanket cylinder Blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder and also through the nip between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder.
  • the rubber blanket cylinder and the adjacent cylinder are each relieved or relieved of pressure.
  • This repeated pressure relief or stress on the blanket gap causes vibrations and shock loads on the cylinders throughout the press.
  • vibrations and shock loads adversely affect print quality.
  • the nip in the blanket causes pressure relief and stress in the nip between the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder
  • printing takes place on the web moving through the nip between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder. Any movement of the blanket cylinder or blanket caused by pressure relief and loading at this time can smear the printed image transferred from the blanket to the web.
  • Another problem that arises from the gap between the adjacent ends of a conventional blanket is the circumferential emptiness determined by the width of the gap. This from the width of the gap certain emptiness interrupts and reduces the circumferential length of the printing surface on the blanket cylinder. As a result, with each revolution of the blanket cylinder, an area of the web remains unprinted. These unprinted areas of the web reduce productivity and increase waste. In addition, it is not easy to correctly install such a conventional blanket on a blanket cylinder. This can result in significant downtime, which can be expensive. In addition, the blanket cylinder itself must be equipped with means for attaching the respective ends of the blanket to keep it in place.
  • Another problem associated with conventional blankets arises from the pressure exerted on the elastic surface of the blanket by the rigid surface of the printing plate in the nip between the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder.
  • the elastic surface of the rubber blanket is pressed by the rigid surface of the printing plate as it moves through the nip.
  • the cylindrical contour of the rigid pressure plate presses a similar cylindrical recess into the elastic rubber blanket.
  • a point on the elastic surface of the rubber blanket is directed sideways a greater distance as it moves through the nip. This means that these surfaces at the nip have different speeds. A difference in the surface speed can slip between the Surfaces cause what can smear the ink transferred from one surface to the other.
  • rubber blankets contain compressible, rubber-like polymers which can be compressed under the pressure exerted by the printing plate in the nip. Pressing the rubber blanket together in the nip reduces the tendency to beads that can form on both sides of the nip. Standing waves that could smear the ink on the rotating rubber blanket are thus reduced; however, repeated compression and expansion of the compressible rubbery polymer can cause the blanket to overheat.
  • the present invention provides a sleeve-shaped blanket which enables a printing machine to run at high speeds without excessive vibration or shock, without slippage of the printing surfaces - which could smear the ink - and without overheating.
  • a sleeve-shaped blanket for a blanket cylinder in an offset printing machine comprises a cylindrical sleeve axially attachable via a blanket cylinder, a compressible layer over the sleeve and a non-stretchable layer over the compressible layer.
  • the compressible layer comprises a first seamless sleeve-shaped body made of an elastic polymer.
  • the body made of elastic polymer has a large number of cavities which give the body compressibility.
  • the inextensible layer comprises a second seamless body made of an elastic polymer, which contains a sleeve-like underlayer made of circumferentially inextensible material.
  • the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket further comprises a seamless, sleeve-shaped printing layer with a continuous, gap-free cylindrical printing surface.
  • the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket according to the invention advantageously has a seamless and gap-free sleeve-like shape through its various layers, including a continuous, gap-free cylindrical printing surface.
  • a blanket cylinder and a plate cylinder When the sleeve-shaped blanket moves through the nip between a blanket cylinder and a plate cylinder, its profile at the nip remains unchanged.
  • the pressure ratio between the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket and the printing plate thus remains constant during the operation of the printing press, and the movement of the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket through the nip does not cause vibrations or shock loads. There is also less waste and increased productivity because there is no gap on the surface of the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket.
  • the inextensible layer of the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket prevents standing waves from forming on the outer printing surface, which could smear the inked printed image.
  • the cavities in the compressible layer of the tubular rubber blanket are micropores.
  • the micropores are formed by compressible microspheres, which are evenly distributed in the first sleeve-shaped body made of elastic polymer.
  • the compressible layer preferably comprises a compressible tissue together with compressible microspheres.
  • the compressible fabric is contained as a spiral thread through the compressible layer and around the underlying cylindrical sleeve. The thread heats up less than the surrounding elastic polymer when the tubular rubber blanket is actuated, so that the tubular rubber blanket remains cooler during operation.
  • the compressible layer is coated by coating a compressible thread a mixture of rubber cement and microspheres and formed by spirally winding the coated thread around the cylindrical sleeve.
  • the non-stretchable layer is similarly formed by coating a non-stretchable thread with a rubber cement that contains no micropores and spirally wrapping the coated thread around the compressible layer underneath.
  • the inextensible thread thus forms a circumferentially inextensible sleeve-shaped lower layer, and gives the inextensible layer the inextensibility.
  • the pressure layer is formed over the inextensible layer by wrapping an unvulcanized elastomer over the inextensible layer and securing it with adhesive tape.
  • the bonded structure is vulcanized so that the overlying layers of elastic polymer take on an endless, seamless, sleeve-like shape.

  • the sleeve-shaped blanket 14 on the blanket cylinder 12 transfers the inked printed image from the printing plate 18 to a continuous web 21.
  • An ink fountain roller 22 receives ink from the ink fountain 16.
  • a lift roller 24 reciprocates between the ink fountain roller 22 and a first rub roller 26 to transfer ink from the ink fountain roller 22 to the first rub roller 26, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • a plurality of successive rubbing rollers 26 transfer ink from the first rubbing roller 26 to a group of inking rollers 28, which in turn transfer the ink to the printing plate 18 located on the plate cylinder 20.

  • the pressure layer 68 is a seamless and gap-free sleeve-shaped body with a smooth and gap-free cylindrical outer pressure surface 110. It is formed from a relatively soft, elastic polymer, such as rubber, which is a little flexible and which adheres to the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket 14 the gap 112 between the blanket cylinder 12 and the plate cylinder 20 (Fig. 1 and 4) can exert pressure. Because the print layer 68 is resilient and compliant, it is helpful to maintain a uniform pressure on the nip 112 to ensure even transfer of the inked print image.
  • the print layer 68 preferably consists of the following composition:
  • the cylindrical outer printing surface 110 of the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket 14 moves through the nip 112 between the plate cylinder 20 and the rubber blanket cylinder 12, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the flexible layers 62-68 of the tubular rubber blanket 14 are pressed in at the nip 112 by the rigid surface of the pressure plate 18.
  • the pressure layer 68 is not compressible, so it retains its original thickness as it moves through the nip 112.
  • the non-stretchable layer 66 is easily compressible due to the compressibility of the thread 102, so it is slightly compressed during the movement through the nip 112.
  • the non-stretchable layer 66 prevents the portion of the printing layer located in the printing nip from stretching more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) in the circumferential direction, and in fact, in the preferred embodiment, the portion of the printing layer in the printing nip stretches significantly less than 0.025 mm ( 0.001 inch).
  • the inextensible layer 66 also largely prevents the formation of standing waves in the printing layer 68 on both sides of the nip (see prior art FIG. 5). Such standing waves lead to smearing of the printing ink.
  • the first and second compressible layers 62 and 64 are both compressed at the nip 112.

In the compressible layers 62 and 64, the cotton material has the compressible Threads 80 and 94 have less of a tendency to heat than the elastic polymer of sleeve-shaped bodies 74 and 90. Thus, the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket 14 according to the invention has little tendency to become overheated in use, since the compressible layers 62 and 64 are at least partially made of one material that stays cooler than the elastic polymer.
  • the pressure layer 68 and the elastic bodies 74, 90 and 100 of the layers 62, 64, 66 under the pressure layer 68 are endless bodies without gaps or seams. Furthermore, the spirally wound threads 80, 94 and 102 do not form any seams or gaps that extend axially along the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket 14. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the tubular rubber blanket 14 moving through the nip 112 remains unchanged with each complete rotation of the rubber blanket cylinder 12. The pressure ratio between the outer pressure surface 110 and the pressure plate 18 also remains unchanged during the movement through the nip 112. The shocks and vibrations that occur in known rubber blankets with an axially extending gap are thus avoided, and a smooth transfer of the printed image is ensured.

  • a sleeve-shaped blanket 250 is comprised of a relatively rigid backing, a pair of seamless sleeve-shaped, microspherical rubber kit layers 254 and 256, and a pair of sleeve-shaped, compressible fabric layers 258 and 260.
  • the compressible fabric layers 258 and 260 are preferably woven or knitted sleeves as shown in Figs. 10, 11A and 11B.
  • the upper compressible fabric layer 260 is best described as one circumferentially inextensible sleeve attached so that it forms an inextensible layer of the sleeve-shaped rubber blanket 250. With the help of an intermediate layer 262 made of ordinary rubber cement, a sleeve-shaped pressure layer 264 is connected to the upper compressible fabric layer 260.
