  • the The advantageous embodiment of the register pins is the tensioning strip on the cylinder facing and z. B. made of a fabric back of the cloth material Rubber blanket arranged.
  • the clamping bar is clamped in the clamping device this thus directly on a clamping support of the clamping device.
  • a clamping device with a small opening width advantageous embodiment protrudes the tension bar on a preferably Printing end of the rubberized cloth material lying outside.
  • the thickness of the The tensioning strip is many times smaller than the thickness of the approximately 2 mm Cloth material. Because of this, the rubber blanket can even be used in clamping devices be clamped, the opening width is less than the thickness of the rubber blanket.
  • the embodiment is only the tension bar and not the rubberized cloth material with the Provide register recesses. It is also conceivable to include the register recesses already firmly connected to the cloth material tension bar only through the tension bar or punch through the tensioning bar and the cloth at the same time, but it is cheaper punch the register recesses into the tensioning bar before using the tensioning bar the flexible cloth material is connected.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the fabric material are the vulcanizing or adhesive gaps sealed on the outside between the tensioning bar and the cloth material, which is already an option for the large-area gluing of the tensioning strip with the adhesive material again or another adhesive specifically intended for sealing can be.
  • the adhesive is in the cloth material together with the tension bar formed corner brackets painted so that the corner brackets partially with an adhesive wedge are filled and a peeling of the soft cloth material from the tensioning strip also after a long period of inactivity of the rubber blanket is absolutely prevented.
  • the seal is not only when the tensioning strip is connected to the cloth material by gluing, but also in a connection by vulcanizing the Cloth material advantageous on the tension bar.
  • a connection by vulcanizing the Cloth material advantageous on the tension bar.
  • an adhesive or Vulcanization connection of tensioning strip and fabric material is also their positive Connection, e.g. B. by means of rivets, conceivable.
  • Claim 9 also includes one without the features contained in claim 2 Invention.
  • the register recesses on the printing plate correspondingly arranged register recesses of the rubber blanket in the soft Cloth material of a rubber blanket not having a tensioning strip must be introduced. Therefore, referring claim 9 back to claim 2 is optional.
  • FIG. 1 shows a rotary printing press 1 comprising several offset printing units shown in the detail.
  • the section shows the offset printing units in Printing unit transport direction downstream coating unit, the one Impression cylinder 2 for transporting an arc-shaped printing material 3 and one Cylinder 4 includes a rubber blanket 5, which by means of clamping devices 6 and 7th is attached to the cylinder 4.
  • the rubber blanket consists of an upper rubber layer 8 guiding the lacquer the at least one recess 9 for the recessed inline painting of the Printing material 3 is separated, an underside fabric layer 10 and Tension bars 11 and 12, which are glued to the fabric layer 10. Between Layers 8 and 10 can also be intermediate layers. At least from the Layers 8 and 10 of existing arcuate composite material are hereinafter referred to as Cloth material 13 referred to.
  • Tension bars 11 and 12 The total width of each of the arranged on a single side of the cloth material 13 Tension bars 11 and 12 is 2 to 3 centimeters and is divided into approximately the half total width corresponding overhang width 15 (see FIG. 2), by which each Tensioning strip 11 and 12 protrudes over a corresponding edge 16 of the cloth material 13, and a remaining overlap width over which each tensioning bar 11 and 12 also has the cloth material 11 is non-detachably connected (non-destructively).
  • Each of a tensioning device for tensioning the rubber blanket 5 associated Clamping devices 6 and 7 consist of a clamping pad 17 and 18 and one Clamping jaw 19 and 20, which is adjustable relative to the clamping pad 17 and 18, in order to between the clamping pad 17 and 18 and the jaw 19 and 20 only the clamp each clamping bar 11 and 12 while the cloth material 13 is completely outside the clamping devices 6 and 7.
  • the cloth material 13 is with clamped clamping bars 11 and 12th neither between the clamping pad 17 and the jaw 19 nor between the Clamping pad 18 and the jaw 20.
  • Only the clamping device 6 assigned to the start of printing comprises two cylindrical ones Register pins 21 and 22, which register recesses 23 and 24 of the clamped Reach through clamping strip 11 and a support surface for the clamping strip 11 Extend over the clamping pad 17.
  • the register pin 21 lies on the approximately semicircular Register recess 23 formed along the inner edge thereof and the register pin 21 Register pin 22 only touches the inner wall of the rectangular register recess 24 at a tangential point, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
