Die Enden einer Druckform 3, das heißt, die Druckformvorderkante 4 sowie die Druckformhinterkante 5, werden in dem Kanal 2 eingehangen. Die Druckformvorderkante 4 liegt an einer vorderen Seitenwand 8 des Kanals 2 an, während die Druckformhinterkante 5 im gespannten Zustand - wiedergegeben durch Position 5.5 - an der hinteren Seitenwand 9 des Kanals 2 anliegt. Nachdem die Druckformvorderkante 4 in dem Kanal 2 eingehangen ist, wie gezeigt, wird die Druckformhinterkante 5 sukzessive gemäß den Einführpositionen 5.1, 5.2 und 5.3 in die Position 5.4 bewegt. Die Hüllkurve, die die Druckformhinterkante 5 während des Einführvorgangs beschreibt, ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 6 bezeichnet. In der Darstellung gemäß der Fig. 1 ist erkennbar, daß eine der Seitenwände 8, 9 des Kanals 2 eine Ausnehmung 10 aufweist, unterhalb der ein Vorsprung 11 dargestellt ist. Sowohl die Ausnehmung 10 als auch der Vorsprung 11 erstrecken sich über die gesamte Breite des Druckformzylinders 1. Die Seitenwand 9 des Kanals 2 kann im Bereich des Vorsprungs 11 mittels eines bekannten Härtungsverfahrens gehärtet sein, um Verschleiß vorzubeugen. Ferner ist auch denkbar, in der Seitwand 9 des Kanals 2 eine Leiste oder einen ähnlich, sich parallel zur Rotationsachse des Zylinders 1 erstreckenden Körper aus verschleißfestem Material vorzusehen, der einen Vorsprung 11 gemäß Fig. 1 aufweist.A printing couple cylinder 1 - here the printing form cylinder - comprises a channel 2, which is axially parallel to the axis of rotation of the Printing form cylinder extends. The ends of a printing form 3, that is, the printing form leading edge 4 and the Printing form trailing edge 5, are hung in the channel 2. The printing form leading edge 4 lies on a front Side wall 8 of the channel 2, while the Printing form trailing edge 5 in the tensioned state - reproduced through position 5.5 - on the rear side wall 9 of the Channel 2 is present.

In der provisorischen Spannstellung 7.1 wird die Druckformvorderkante 4 fixiert. Während des Aufbringens der Druckform 3 auf den Umfang des Druckformzylinders 1 wird auf diese Weise die Druckformvorderkante 4 gesichert. Auch während der Demontage der Druckform 3 vom Druckwerkzylinder 1 wird die Druckformvorderkante 4 durch die provisorische Spannstellung 7.1 gehalten. Wird das Spannelement 7 in die Position 7.2 - die Spannstellung - gestellt, kommt es zu einer linienförmig verlaufenden Berührung an der Kontaktstelle zwischen Spannelement 7 und der Druckformhinterkante 5. Während des Spannvorgangs an der Druckformhinterkante 5 bewegt sich der über den Vorsprung 11 hinausragende Bereich der Druckformhinterkante 5 in seine Anschlagposition 5.5. Der Vorsprung 11 dient als Schwenkpunkt, um welchen sich die Druckformhinterkante 5 bewegt, so daß sich die Umfangsfläche 20 der Druckform in Richtung der Mitte des Kanals 2 bewegt. Durch die Schwenkbewegung der Druckformhinterkante 5 um den Vorsprung 11 wird eine tangential wirkende Kraft in die Druckform 3 eingeleitet, die eine Reduzierung des druckfreien Spaltes am Kanal 2 bewirkt, da sich die Druckformvorderkante 4 und die Druckformhinterkante 5 am Umfang des Druckformzylinders 1 aufeinanderzubewegen.1 is around the lower region of the channel 2 To recognize clamping element 7, which of a provisional Clamping position 7.1 in a clamping position 7.2 and vice versa is movable.

While applying the printing form 3 on the circumference of the printing form cylinder 1 in this way the leading edge 4 of the printing form is secured. Also during the disassembly of the printing form 3 from the printing unit cylinder 1 is the printing form leading edge 4 by the provisional Clamping position 7.1 held. If the clamping element 7 in the Position 7.2 - the clamping position - set, it happens a linear contact on the Contact point between the clamping element 7 and the Printing form trailing edge 5. During the clamping process on the Printing form trailing edge 5 moves over the projection 11 protruding area of the printing form trailing edge 5 in its Stop position 5.5. The projection 11 serves as Pivot point around which the printing form trailing edge 5 moves so that the peripheral surface 20 of the printing form in Moved towards the center of channel 2. Through the Swiveling movement of the printing form trailing edge 5 around the Projection 11 is a tangential force in the Printing form 3 initiated, which is a reduction in the pressure-free Gap on channel 2 causes the Printing form front edge 4 and the printing form trailing edge 5 am To move the circumference of the printing form cylinder 1 towards each other.

Ist die Druckformhinterkante 5 durch das Spannelement 7 in die Anschlagposition 5.5 bewegt worden, dann ist die Druckform 3 auf der Mantelfläche des Druckformzylinders 1 gespannt. Das Spannelement 7 wird nunmehr in seiner Spannposition 7.2 arretiert, so daß die Druckformbefestigung aufrechterhalten bleibt. Das Spannelement 7 kann sich ebenfalls über die Breite des Kanals 2 im Druckformzylinder 1 erstrecken oder aus einzelnen federnden Zungen bestehen. Wenn sich die Druckformhinterkante 5 in ihrer Anschlagposition 5.5 befindet, ist das Spannelement 7 federnd an dieser angestellt.Is the printing form trailing edge 5 by the clamping element 7 in the stop position 5.5 has been moved, then the Printing form 3 on the outer surface of the printing form cylinder 1 curious; excited. The clamping element 7 is now in its Clamping position 7.2 locked so that the printing plate attachment is maintained. The clamping element 7 can also across the width of the channel 2 in the printing form cylinder 1 extend or consist of individual resilient tongues. If the printing form trailing edge 5 in its stop position 5.5 is, the clamping element 7 is resilient on this employed.
