Das Dokument EP 0 639 454 A1 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung mit einem zurückziehbaren Haken zum Halten einer Druckplatte auf einem Tragzylinder in einer Rotationsdruckmaschine und eine Rotationsdruckmaschine mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung.Document EP 0 639 454 A1 describes a device a retractable hook to hold a pressure plate a support cylinder in a rotary printing press and one Rotary printing machine with such a device.

Bei dieser Vorrichtung aus dem Stande der Technik werden mit einem hakenförmigen Vorsprung versehene Halteelemente in ein von zwei Führungen begrenztes federndes System eingeführt und von einer ersten Führung fixiert. An den Halteelementen ist ein Vorsprung ausgebildet, der durch die erste Führung derart an die zweite Führung gedrängt wird, daß der Vorsprung des Halteelementes auf einer oberen Begrenzung der zweiten Führung aufliegt und ein an der erstgenannten Führung ausgebildetes federndes Ende den Vorsprung des Halteelementes über der Begrenzung der zweiten Führung dauerhaft fixiert.In this device from the prior art with holding elements provided in a hook-shaped projection spring system limited by two guides introduced and fixed by a first tour. Is on the holding elements a protrusion formed by the first guide such is pushed to the second leadership that the lead of the Holding element on an upper limit of the second guide rests and a trained on the former guide resilient end over the projection of the holding element the limitation of the second tour is permanently fixed.

Zum Herausnehmen des Halteelementes ist ein Werkzeug erforderlich, welches die Federwirkung der ersten Führung und damit die Anstellung des Halteelementes an die zweite Führung aufhebt.A tool is required to remove the holding element, which is the spring action of the first lead and thus the employment of the holding element on the second guide picks up.

In Weiterentwicklung des Standes der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf eine einfachere Weise als nach dem Stand der Technik eine sogar werkzeuglose Montage und Demontage im Kanal eines Druckformzylinders nebeneinander liegender Halteelemente zu ermöglichen.The invention lies in a further development of the prior art based on the task in a simpler way than after state of the art even tool-free assembly and disassembly lying side by side in the channel of a printing form cylinder To enable holding elements.

Die Erfindung schlägt zu diesem Zweck eine Vorrichtung zur Verbindung von Halteelementen mit einer Traverse eines Druckformzylinders einer Rotationsdruckmaschine zum Fixieren einer biegsamen Druckform auf dem Umfang des Druckformzylinders vor, wobei die Vorderkante der biegsamen Druckform eine Vorderkante eines Kanals des Druckformzylinders übergreift und die Hinterkante der biegsamen Druckform durch mindestens ein an der Traverse betätigbar anordbares, federndes Halteelement fixierbar ist, welches an dem der Umfangsfläche des Druckformzylinders zugewandten Ende einen hakenförmigen Vorsprung aufweist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß mehrere, nebeneinander anordbare Halteelemente an der Traverse durch Arretierungen formschlüssig verriegelbar sind.The invention proposes a device for this purpose Connection of holding elements with a traverse of a printing form cylinder a rotary printing press for fixing one flexible printing form on the circumference of the printing form cylinder before, the leading edge of the flexible printing form a Overlaps the front edge of a channel of the printing form cylinder and the trailing edge of the flexible printing form by at least a resilient which can be arranged on the crossbar and can be actuated Holding element is fixable, which on that of the peripheral surface end of the printing form cylinder facing a hook-shaped Has projection, characterized in that several holding elements can be arranged side by side on the crossbar Locks are positively lockable.

Die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung einhergehenden Vorteile liegen unter anderem darin, daß nunmehr ein einwandfreies Verriegeln der Halteelemente bei deren Montage erfolgen kann, was der Bediener auch wahrnimmt und was trotz der räumlichen Beengtheit im Kanal auch verifizierbar ist, da die einzelnen Halteelemente im Kanal nebeneinander liegend angeordnet sind und miteinander fluchten. Schließlich erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch eine vereinfachte Kontrolle, da alle Halteelemente eine definierte Einbaulage einnehmen.The advantages associated with the solution according to the invention are, among other things, that now a flawless Locking the holding elements during assembly can be done what the operator also perceives and what despite the spatial Confinement in the channel is also verifiable as the individual Holding elements are arranged side by side in the channel and cursed with each other. Finally, the invention allows Solution also a simplified control, since all holding elements assume a defined installation position.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Halteelemente in Führungen an der Traverse vertikal einführbar.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the holding elements Can be inserted vertically in guides on the crossbar.

In dieser bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Halteelemente des weiteren mit Ausnehmungen versehen, die an Stiften einer Traverse nach dem Bajonett-Prinzip verriegelbar sind. Die Verriegelung erfolgt durch eine seitliche Verschiebebewegung, die eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Ausnehmung und jeweils korrespondierendem Stift darstellt. Die Verriegelung kann in einer durch die beiden an der Traverse aufgenommenen Führungen begrenzten Ebene erfolgen. Beim Einführen der Halteelemente in vertikale Richtung übergreifen die Halteelemente die Stifte. Zur Verriegelung einzelner Halteelemente ist eine seitliche Verschiebebewegung dieser erforderlich, so daß im verriegelten Zustand die Halteelemente seitlich aneinander liegend im Kanal angeordnet sind.In this preferred embodiment of the invention, the Holding elements further provided with recesses that Pins on a traverse can be locked according to the bayonet principle are. The locking takes place by a lateral sliding movement, which has a positive connection between the recess and each represents the corresponding pen. The Locking can be done in one by the two on the crossbar guided tours take place at a limited level. When inserting of the holding elements overlap in the vertical direction the holding elements the pins. For locking individual holding elements a lateral shifting movement of these is required, so that the holding elements in the locked state are arranged side by side in the channel.

In der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1, die einen Querschnitt durch einen Druckformzylinder 1 im Bereich des Spannkanales wiedergibt, ist eine hier beispielsweise als Rundstab ausgeführte Traverse 6 erkennbar, die in einem Spannkanal 5 des Druckformzylinders 1 aufgenommen ist. Ein in die Umfangsfläche des Druckformzylinders 1 mündender Kanal 2 ist einerseits von einer Kanalecke 4 und andererseits durch eine Kanalflanke 3 begrenzt. An der Kanalecke 4 wird eine Vorderkante 8 einer Druckform 7 und an einem Halteelement 10, welches an der rückwärtigen Flanke 3 des Kanals 2 anliegt, wird die Hinterkante 9 der Druckform 7 befestigt. Die Druckform 7 wird dann auf dem Umfang des Druckformzylinders 1 gespannt.1, which is a cross section through reproduces a printing form cylinder 1 in the area of the clamping channel, is here, for example, a round bar Traverse 6 can be seen in a clamping channel 5 of the printing form cylinder 1 is included. One in the peripheral surface of the Printing form cylinder 1 opening channel 2 is on the one hand of a Channel corner 4 and on the other hand limited by a channel flank 3. At the channel corner 4, a leading edge 8 becomes one Printing form 7 and on a holding element 10, which on the back flank 3 of channel 2 is present, the trailing edge 9 of the printing plate 7 attached. The printing form 7 is then stretched on the circumference of the printing form cylinder 1.

Das hier gezeigte Halteelement 10 weist einen hakenförmigen Vorsprung 11 auf, mit welchem die Hinterkante 9 der Druckform 7 untergriffen und dann gespannt wird. Das Halteelement 10-hier im verriegelten Zustand dargestellt - ist an der Traverse 6 in einer vorderen Führung 12 und einer hinteren Führung 13 aufgenommen. Beide Führungen 12 und 13 begrenzen einen Einführbereich 14. Die Führungen 12 und 13 sind an der Traverse 6 durch eine Verschraubung 15 fixiert - eine andere Befestigungsart wäre natürlich ebenso möglich. Neben der Verschraubung 15 und deren Mittellinie 22 sind voneinander beabstandete einzelne Arretierungen - hier als Stifte 18 ausgeführt - nebeneinander vorgesehen (siehe auch Fig. 2). Die Stifte sind in Fig. 1 aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich durch eine strichpunktierte Mittellinie 21 angedeutet.The holding element 10 shown here has a hook-shaped Projection 11, with which the rear edge 9 of the printing form 7 underpinned and then tensioned. The holding element 10-here shown in the locked state - is on the crossbar 6 in a front guide 12 and a rear guide 13 added. Both guides 12 and 13 limit one Insertion area 14. The guides 12 and 13 are on the Traverse 6 fixed by a screw 15 - another Type of attachment would of course also be possible. In addition to the screw connection 15 and their center line 22 are spaced apart individual detents - here designed as pins 18 - Provided side by side (see also Fig. 2). The Pins are only in Fig. 1 for reasons of clarity indicated by a dash-dotted center line 21.

Das federnd ausgeführte Halteelement 10 kann in den Führungen 12 und 13 derart aufgenommen werden, daß es eine definierte Einbaulage aufweist. Ein Torsionsstab 24, der einerseits in der Traverse 6 und andererseits an den Enden des Druckformzylinders 1 blockiert ist, gewährleistet die Spannung der Druckform 7.The resilient holding element 10 can be in the guides 12 and 13 are included so that there is a defined Has installation position. A torsion bar 24, the one hand in the cross member 6 and on the other hand at the ends of the printing form cylinder 1 is blocked, ensures the tension of the Printing form 7.

Fig. 2 zeigt - vereinfacht dargestellt - den Verriegelungsvorgang eines Halteelementes an einer Traverse im Kanal eines Druckformzylinders.Fig. 2 shows - in simplified form - the locking process a holding element on a crossbar in the channel Printing form cylinder.

Ein Halteelement 10, dessen Seitenbereich mit einer Ausnehmung 16 versehen ist, nimmt im Kanal 2, dessen rückwärtige Flanke 3 zu sehen ist, zunächst die Position 10.1 ein. In der Position 10.1, der Einführungsposition, übergreift die mit einer Rundung 23 versehene Ausnehmung 16 die Schraube 15 und den daneben angeordneten Arretierungsstift 18. In Richtung des vertikal nach unten weisenden Pfeiles wird das Halteelement 10 in die bis zur unteren Begrenzung eingeführte Position 10.2 bewegt. In dieser Position 10.2 liegt die Öffnung 17 der Ausnehmung 16 dem Stift 18 gegenüber. Durch eine seitliche Verschiebung des Halteelementes 10 in Richtung des horizontal, das heißt parallel zur Achse des Druckformzylinders weisenden Pfeiles, umgreift die Öffnung 17 den Stift 18 und nimmt ihre verriegelte Position 10.3 ein. Dabei tangiert der Rand der Ausnehmung 16 die Schraube 15 gerade nicht; die Öffnung 17 jedoch umschließt den Arretierungsstift 18. In der Einbaulage der verriegelten Position 10.3 stößt das zu verriegelnde Halteelement 10 jeweils an der Seitenkante 19 des daneben liegenden Halteelementes 10 an. Die Ausnehmungen 16, die sowohl Schraube 15 als auch Arretierungsstifte 18 umgreifen, liegen an den Seiten der Halteelemente 10, könnten jedoch auch in der Mitte der Halteelemente 10 vorgesehen sein. Die seitliche Bewegung von der eingeführten Position 10.2 in die verriegelte Position 10.3 stellt eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Arretierungen wie der Öffnung 17 und dem Stift 18 her, die einen genauen Sitz angesichts der bei der Rotation des Druckformzylinders auftretenden Fliehkräfte garantiert. Die Längskante 20 des jeweiligen Halteelementes 10 stößt nicht an der unteren Begrenzung des Spannkanals 2 an, sondern liegt im wesentlichen zwischen Führungen 12 und 13 (siehe auch Fig. 1). Wie aus Fig. 2 weiterhin hervorgeht, liegen die Mittellinien 21 und 22 von Schraube 15 und Arretierungsstift 18 geringfügig übereinander, wie dies bereits in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist.A holding element 10, the side area with a recess 16 is provided, takes in channel 2, the rear Edge 3 can be seen, position 10.1 first. In the Position 10.1, the introductory position, overlaps with a rounding 23 provided recess 16, the screw 15 and the locking pin 18 located next to it the vertical downward arrow becomes the holding element 10 in the introduced up to the lower limit Position 10.2 moves. This is in position 10.2 Opening 17 of the recess 16 opposite the pin 18. By a lateral displacement of the holding element 10 in the direction of the horizontal, that is parallel to the axis of the Arrow pointing to the printing form cylinder, engages around the opening 17 the pin 18 and takes its locked position 10.3. The edge of the recess 16 touches the screw 15 not at the moment; however, the opening 17 encloses the Locking pin 18. In the installed position of the locked Position 10.3 abuts the holding element 10 to be locked in each case on the side edge 19 of the adjacent holding element 10. The recesses 16, which are both screw 15 as well as locking pins 18 lie on the sides of the holding elements 10, could, however, also be provided in the middle of the holding elements 10. The side Movement from the introduced position 10.2 to the locked position 10.3 represents one positive connection between the detents such as the opening 17 and the Pin 18 forth, which is a precise fit given the rotation of the printing form cylinder centrifugal forces are guaranteed. The longitudinal edge 20 of the respective holding element 10 does not abut the lower limit of the tensioning channel 2, but lies essentially between guides 12 and 13 (see also Fig. 1). As can further be seen from FIG. 2, are the center lines 21 and 22 of screw 15 and locking pin 18 slightly one above the other, as already indicated in Fig. 1.

Da mehrere Halteelemente 10 im Kanal 2 des Druckformzylinders 1 nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind, welche untereinander fluchten, kann die Druckformhinterkante über deren gesamte Breite ergriffen und die Druckform in definierter Lage am Umfang des Druckformzylinders 1 fixiert werden.Since several holding elements 10 in the channel 2 of the printing form cylinder 1 lying side by side are arranged, which are aligned with each other, the printing form trailing edge over their gripped the entire width and the printing form in a defined position on the circumference of the Printing form cylinder 1 are fixed.

Mittel zur Begrenzung der Auslenkung der Halteelemente 10 parallel zur Achse des Druckformzylinders 1 sind ebenfalls vorgesehen, um die Entriegelung dieser Halteelemente 10 an der Traverse 6 zu verhindern.Means for limiting the deflection of the holding elements 10 parallel to the axis of the Printing form cylinders 1 are also provided to unlock them To prevent holding elements 10 on the cross member 6.

Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, weisen diese Mittel zur Begrenzung der Auslenkung ein biegsames Plättchen 30 oder Federblatt auf, das an einer der Seitenflächen des Druckformzylinders 1 in Fluchtung mit dem Kanal 2 fixiert ist. Hierbei weist der Druckformzylinder 1 eine Vertiefung 31 auf der Seite seiner mit 32 bezeichneten Seitenfläche auf. Das biegsame Plättchen 30 ist in dieser Vertiefung mittels Schrauben 33, 33' fixiert, die mit in der Vertiefung 31 angeordneten Gewindelöchern zusammenwirken.As shown in Fig. 3, these means for limiting the deflection are flexible Plate 30 or spring leaf on, that on one of the side surfaces of the printing form cylinder 1 in Alignment with channel 2 is fixed. Here, the Printing form cylinder 1 has a depression 31 on the side of it with 32 designated side surface. The flexible plate 30 is in this recess by means of screws 33, 33 ' fixed with the arranged in the recess 31 Interact with threaded holes.

Wie man ebenfalls in Fig. 3 sieht, ist dieses biegsame Plättchen 30 am Druckformzylinder 1 derart angeordnet, daß die Auslenkung der Halteelemente 10 parallel zur Achse des Druckformzylinders 1 in verriegelter Position begrenzt wird, was in Fig. 3 mittels durchgezogener Linien der Halteelemente 10 an der Traverse 6 schematisiert ist.As can also be seen in Fig. 3, this is a flexible plate 30 arranged on the printing form cylinder 1 such that the Deflection of the holding elements 10 parallel to the axis of the printing form cylinder 1 what is locked in the locked position 3 by means of solid lines of the holding elements 10 is schematized on the traverse 6.

Weiterhin kann dieses biegsame Plättchen 30 derart gekrümmt sein, daß dadurch das vertikale Einführen und die Verriegelung der Halteelemente 10 an der Traverse 6 erlaubt wird, wie mittels gestrichelter Linien in Fig. 3 gezeigt.Furthermore, this flexible plate 30 can be curved in this way be that thereby the vertical insertion and the Locking of the holding elements 10 on the cross member 6 allowed becomes, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 3.

Indem eine geeignete Länge für dieses biegsame Plättchen 30 gewählt wird, kann letzteres mit der Hand, das heißt ohne jegliches Werkzeug gebogen werden. Die gesamte Montage oder Demontage der Halteelemente 10 kann folglich ohne jegliches Werkzeug erfolgen.By having a suitable length for this flexible plate 30 the latter can be selected by hand, that is, without any tool can be bent. The entire assembly or Disassembly of the holding elements 10 can consequently be done without anything Tool.

In einer Variante kann dieses biegsame Plättchen durch ein starres Plättchen als lösbarer Anschlag ersetzt werden, der nach der Verriegelung der Halteelemente 10 an der Traverse 6 an einer der Seitenflächen des Druckformzylinders 1 auf ähnliche Weise wie das biegsame Plättchen 30 fixierbar ist. In a variant, this flexible plate can be replaced by a rigid plate can be replaced as a detachable stop, the after the locking of the holding elements 10 on the cross member 6 on one of the side surfaces of the printing form cylinder 1 similar to how the flexible plate 30 is fixable.

Selbstverständlich beschränkt sich die Erfindung nicht auf die beschriebenen und dargestellten Beispiele, was insbesondere die Form der Mittel zur Begrenzung der Auslenkung der Halteelemente 10 parallel zur Achse des Druckformzylinders 1 nach der Verriegelung dieser Halteelemente 10 an der Traverse 6 betrifft.Of course, the invention is not limited to the described and illustrated examples, what in particular the form of the means for limiting the deflection of the Holding elements 10 parallel to the axis of the printing form cylinder 1 after the locking of these holding elements 10 on the cross member 6 concerns.
