Definitions

  • the main subject of the present invention is a cylinder fitted with a printing blanket which can be used in printing machines of various types.
  • printing blankets generally include a layer lithographic with which is associated at least one compressible layer and a reinforcing layer. (see document EP-A-0448469 for example).
  • the present invention aims to solve all the above problems by offering a blanket integral barrier printing perfect seal vis-à-vis the cylinder it surrounds, and suppressing any possible rupture phenomenon at the level of its part penetrating into the throat of the printing cylinder.
  • the invention relates to a cylinder printing machine equipped with a blanket comprising a layer lithographic or printing which is associated with minus a compressible layer and an outer layer of reinforcement, which cylinder has a groove extending axially and internally provided with fixing means with adjustment of two opposite edges of the blanket so that it tightly surrounds the periphery of the cylinder, characterized in that on the outer layer of the blanket opposite to the lithographic layer is fixed a layer of polymer material made of thermoplastic elastomer and stretching across the surface whole of said outer layer so that the means fixing in the groove grab the opposite edges of the blanket together with the ends of the layer of polymer material which is an integral part of the blanket in particular to allow a homogeneous tension, without thickness variation, blanket on the cylinder.
  • the ends of the layer in polymeric material provide a means of retaining by bonding of the blanket-layer assembly on the means of fixation.
  • the layer of polymer material is attached to the layer above mentioned blanket by gluing, extrusion, hot lamination, coating or calendering.
  • This cylinder is further characterized in that the thickness of the layer of polymer material is between about 4 and 400 ⁇ m (microns), while the blanket proper has a thickness of between about 1 and 3 mm.
  • the thickness of the layer of polymer material is between 100 and 250 microns, while the thickness of the blanket is included between 1.6 and 2.2 mm.
  • the layer of material polymer is made of a thermoplastic elastomer such that for example urethane, into a copolymer thermoplastic polyester and polyether, in polyolefin, polyamide, styrene block polymers.
  • This cylinder according to this invention is further characterized by the fact that the outer surface of the layer of polymer material has raised portions, which may have advantages in terms of compressibility.
  • the layer of polymer material forms with the blanket a unitary assembly
  • fixing around of the cylinder by traction on the opposite edges of this unitary unit will not only be excellent but will advantageously avoid any infiltration problem moisture that could corrode the periphery of the cylinder, not to mention the fact that any phenomenon of crawling or possible sliding of the blanket on the cylinder, any possible blanket rupture at the throat and any possible penetration of the products may damage the cylinder completely eliminated.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view transverse of a printing cylinder around which is fixed a blanket, following the techniques of art prior.
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but illustrating the blanket according to this invention in position fixed on a printing cylinder.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic sectional view of a example of a printing blanket according to this invention.
  • a covering 2 is adhered and therefore permanently fixed to the external surface 1a of the cylinder 1, this adhesion or prior fixing of the covering 2 being materialized by the small crosses identified in 3.
  • a blanket which is simply applied to the covering layer 2 and the free ends 4 are gripped by means of fastening 5 housed in a groove 6 extending axially and made in cylinder 1, as we can see on Figure 1.
  • the fixing means 5 generally comprise two metal bars 7 each receiving the end 4 of the blanket B and can be actuated radially by a element 8 constituting for example a screw system and likely to pull the ends 4 blanket B so that it fits tightly over the covering 2 integral with the printing cylinder 1.
  • the covering 2 is interrupted substantially at the level of the sides 6a of throat 6, while only the ends 4 of blanket B can be entered by bars 7 after they have entered throat 6 and crossed the sharp angle 9 formed by the connection of the sides 6a groove 6 with the external surface 1a of the cylinder print 1.
  • cylinder 1 as seen in the figure 2, is coated with a blanket 10 which is intimately fixed a layer 11 of polymer material which extends over substantially the entire surface of the blanket 10.
  • layer 11 of polymer material is part integral of blanket 10 and constitutes a whole unitary which will simply be applied to the surface outer 1a of cylinder 1 and will be tightened around the perimeter of this surface by the fixing means 5.
  • the blanket 10 comprises a lithographic layer or printing 12, a compressible rubber layer cell 13 and a fabric reinforcement layer 14 to which is intimately connected layer 11 of material polymer.
  • This layer 11 can be connected to the reinforcing layer in fabric 14 by any suitable means known per se, by example, bonding, extrusion, hot lamination, coating or calendering.
  • polymer material emerging from an extruder (not shown) at a temperature between about 120 and 240 ° C can pass between two cylinders, at the same time as blanket 10, so as to get downstream of two cylinders, the unitary assembly shown in the figure 3.
  • this set can be obtained by hot lamination, at a temperature between 120 and 240 ° C, this lamination hot rolling a sheet of material polymer such as 11 and a blanket such as 10 between two rotary cylinders (not shown) at one temperature within the above range.
  • the thickness of the layer of polymer material 11 will be between about 4 and 400 ⁇ m (microns), and preferably between 100 and 250 ⁇ m (microns), while the thickness of the blanket 10 will be between approximately 1 and 3 mm, and preferably between 1.6 and 2.2 mm.
  • the polymeric material for layer 11 we will use various materials but always of a nature elastomeric and thermoplastic, i.e. supporting levels of significant deformation without risk of rupture at the level of folding in the groove 6 of the cylinder.
  • the materials will consist of an elastomer thermoplastic of the urethane type, a copolymer thermoplastic polyester and polyether, one polyolefin, polyamide, styrene block polymers such as SB, SBS, SIS, SEB-S, ASA.
  • polyurethanes polyamide copolymers and polyether, trans polyisoprene, 1,2-polybutadiene thermoplastic, polyethylene ethylene vinyl acetate or ethylene ethyl acetate, PA, and the copolymers of polystyrene and polymethylsiloxane.
  • thermoplastic elastomer which may, if necessary, be crosslinked by irradiation.
  • layer 11 polymers which may cause corrosion of cylinders (for example in the presence of chlorine ionic) as well as non-resistant polymers chemically with water or swelling in the presence of water.
  • the layer of polymer material 11 may include on its external face 11a which will simply be applied to the external surface 1a of the cylinder 1, parts in relief likely to improve the compressibility of the laminate illustrated in FIG. 3, this laminate being able to, if desired, have additional layers not shown.
  • the laminate which has just been described when will be mounted and locked on cylinder 1, as shown see well on figure 2, will not pose any problem of relative sliding of the blanket 10 relative to the layer of polymer material 11 due to the intimate bond and by any suitable means from said blanket layer 10.
  • the layer 11 extends over the entire blanket surface 10, i.e. over the entire surface of the fabric reinforcement layer 14, so that the ends 11b of layer 11 are also fixed in the bars 7.
  • the fixing on the bars can be realized by taking advantage of the presence of the ends 11b of layer 11 which, under the effect of heat, can make a collage of the unitary assembly blanket 10 - layer 11 on the bars 7.
  • a blanket was therefore produced according to the invention due to the integration of a layer of blanket polymer material proper, present the following many advantages.
  • the layer of polymer material makes the impermeable blanket vis-à-vis the cylinder on which it is applied, which avoids any corrosion phenomenon said cylinder (in particular in the case of a cylinder newspaper printing) and also any variation blanket thickness.
  • the blanket will resist bending at the cylinder groove and all breakage will be avoided at this level.
  • the layer 11 is preferably thick enough to hide the backing layer in fabric 14 whose asperities forming punctual reliefs on the said layer might cause in the long run local wear on the cylinder surface and even perforate said layer 11 so that the seal between cylinder and blanket would then be lost.
  • the blanket may have layers intermediates, in addition to those described and illustrated.
