  • An embodiment of a web-fed rotary offset printing machine according to the invention in particular for printing on a vertically guided web comprises a first Blanket cylinder with a first end and a second end, and one on the first blanket cylinder arranged, removable over the second end Rubber blanket.
  • a second blanket cylinder is included a third end and a fourth end arranged on one over the fourth end Peelable second rubber blanket is arranged, one with the first rubber blanket Forms pressure gap through which a material web can be guided vertically.
  • a first one Support arm, which optionally supports the first end of the first blanket cylinder, and a second support arm that optionally supports the third end of the second blanket cylinder, are pivotable about a common pivot axis.
  • the vertical web-fed rotary offset printing machine enables in advantageously a compact arrangement with axially removable rubber blankets Blanket cylinders that can be supported optionally.
  • the first and second support arms preferably have an axis, for example trained common pivot axis.
  • the method according to the invention for removing channelless pressure sleeves consists in that a first support arm is rotated about a pivot axis about a first end to support a first cylinder that a first pressure sleeve from the first cylinder subtracted that a second support arm is rotated about the pivot axis to a second end of a second cylinder to support, and that a second pressure sleeve axially is withdrawn from the second cylinder.
  • the common swivel axis creates a method for supporting two cylinders enables which can be performed reliably in a confined space.
  • the printing sleeves can be used, for example, as rubber blankets, in particular next to one another arranged blanket sleeves of a web-fed offset printing press with vertical arranged printing units can be formed.
  • the pressure sleeves also act as sleeve-shaped pressure plates.
  • the first support arm and the second support arm are preferably in opposite Directions rotatable to develop their support effect, for example the first Arm can be rotated counterclockwise and the second arm can be rotated clockwise.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a preferred embodiment of a Web-fed rotary printing press in a vertical arrangement.
  • the schematic representation shows an offset printing unit 1 of a printing press, through which a material web vertically to be led.
  • the printing unit 1 comprises a first plate cylinder 10, a first Blanket cylinder 12, a second blanket cylinder 22 and a second Plate cylinder 20.
  • a Material web e.g. B. a paper web through which between the blanket cylinders 12, 22nd formed pressure gap led.
  • ink is transferred to the plate cylinders 10, 20 so that the images to be printed are colored.
  • FIG. 1 A schematic representation of the drive side of the printing unit 1 is shown in FIG.
  • the axially removable blankets on the blanket cylinders 12 and 22 are from the other side, the operator side, the printing unit 1 pushed and pulled.
  • Fig. 2 is shown schematically, is located on the operator side of the printing press movable door 3 with a clamping mechanism for the operator end 15 of Blanket cylinder 12.
  • the axially removable blanket 16 is over the end 15 and is preferably similar to that described in US 5,429,048 Blankets trained.
  • the movable door and the clamping mechanism can for example, similar to the device described in US 5,678,485 his.
  • FIG Support device 30 On the drive side of the printing unit 1, shown schematically in FIG Support device 30 according to the invention arranged. This is activated when the Blankets are to be removed from the blanket cylinders 12 and 22.
  • the Support device 30 acts on the via a contact element or a contact adapter 13 drive-side end of the blanket cylinder 12, which in the drive-side frame 14 of the Printing unit 1 is stored.
  • a side view of the support device 30 is shown in more detail in FIG. 3.
  • On the drive side End of the blanket cylinders 12 and 22 are contact elements or contact adapters 13 or 23 arranged.
  • Support arm 40 optionally acts on contact element 13.
  • Arm 40 includes one annular extension 41 which fits around the axis 60.
  • the axis 60 is on drive-side frame 14 attached.
  • the first arm 40 includes an adjustable end 42 which is adjustable, for example, via bolts 44 and 46 or by means of a curve is horizontally movable.

  • the adjusting device 50 preferably comprises a similar stop.
  • the poor 40, 50 are also preferably supported by a support 90, which, however, a Rotational movement of the arms around the axis 60 allows.
  • an intermediate space 100 there is between the support arms 40, 70 and their respective Contact element 13 or 23, an intermediate space 100.
  • the Actuating device 50 actuated. This will cause the upper end of the arm 40 towards the Bolt 55 pulled so that the counterweight arm 40 counterclockwise around the Pivot axis 61 is rotated. The end 42 then contacts the contact element 13 and apply this pressure. The door 3 can now be opened so that the rubber blanket 16 can be deducted from the blanket cylinder 12. Then a new rubber blanket pushed on, the door closed and the actuating device 50 deactivated, thereby creating the gap 100.
