Yes. The adhesive 51 is arranged in such a manner that it extends in and out of the printing pressure start position PF in the pressing area 50, and thus the front leak mylar 31 extends in and out of the printing pressure start position PF in the pressing area 50. In this manner, it is fixed to the non-opening portion 10d located outside the opening portion 10c.

  Therefore, as indicated by reference numeral FF, a fixed portion where no printing pressure is applied is formed, and it is possible to prevent the pre-leak mylar 31 from dropping off over time due to an impact or the like when the press roller 11 is pressed against the plate cylinder 10. Is done. The adhesive member may be any member as long as it can reliably fix the front leak mylar 31 to the non-opening portion 10d, such as a double-sided tape.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the side leakage mylar 32 is arranged in such a manner as to extend in and out of the printing pressure side edge position PS and the printing pressure release position PR of the pressing region 50. The side leakage mylar 32 corresponds to the side guide portions 32a and 32a as side stop portions disposed corresponding to the side edge portions 42 and 42 of the opening portion 10c and the rear edge portion 43 of the opening portion 10c.

The guide portion 32b is arranged in a manner extending inside and outside the printing pressure release position PR of the pressing region 50. In addition, since the opening part 10c, the non-opening part 10d, the pressing area 50, and the side leakage mylar 32 form a substantially symmetrical shape in the center in the direction Y, only one end side in the direction Y is shown in FIG. Is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the side guide portion 32 a extends in and out of the opening portion 10 c, and is attached to the non-opening portion 10 d constituting the main body of the plate cylinder 10 by an adhesive 52 as an adhesive member. It is fixed directly. The adhesive 51 is positioned so as to extend in and out of the printing pressure side edge position PS of the pressing region 50, and thus the side guide portion 32 a extends in and out of the printing pressure side edge position PS of the pressing region 50. In the aspect, it is fixed to the non-opening part 10d located outside the opening part 10c.

  Therefore, as indicated by reference numeral FS, a fixed portion where no printing pressure is applied is formed, and the side leakage mylar 32 is prevented from falling off over time due to an impact or the like when the press roller 11 is pressed against the plate cylinder 10. Is done. The adhesive member may be any adhesive member such as a double-sided tape as long as it can securely fix the side guide portion 32a, that is, the side leakage mylar 32 to the non-opening portion 10d.

As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 6, the tail leak mylar 33 extends in and out of the printing pressure release position PR of the pressing region 50 and is disposed in a manner covered with the end guide portion 32 b.
As shown in FIG. 6, the tail leak mylar 33 is fixed to the end guide portion 32 b by an adhesive 53 as an adhesive member in a mode extending to the opening portion 10 c and the non-opening portion 10 d, and the end guide It is indirectly fixed to the main body of the plate cylinder 10 via the part 32 b, that is, the side leakage mylar 32.

  The adhesive 53 is arranged in such a manner as to extend in and out of the printing pressure release position PR in the pressing region 50. Therefore, the bottom leak mylar 31 is fixed to the end guide portion 32b and extends through the end guide portion 32b, that is, the side leak mylar 32, in such a manner that the bottom leak mylar 31 extends in and out of the printing pressure release position PR of the pressing region 50. The plate cylinder 10 is fixed to the main body.

  Therefore, as shown by the symbol FR, a fixed portion where no printing pressure is applied is formed, and it is possible to prevent the tail leak mylar 33 from dropping off over time due to an impact or the like when the press roller 11 is pressed against the plate cylinder 10. Is done. The adhesive member may be any adhesive member such as a double-sided tape as long as it can securely fix the bottom leak mylar 33 to the side leak mylar 32 and the end guide portion 32b.

  In the plate cylinder 10 having the above-described configuration and the stencil printing apparatus 1 having the plate cylinder, the master 4 that has been subjected to plate making is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the plate cylinder 10 while being wound around the outer peripheral surface of the plate cylinder 10. By press-contacting the printing paper P with the press roller 11, the ink oozed from the opening 10 c is transferred to the printing paper P and printing is performed.

  In this process, the ink exuded from the opening 10c and pressed onto the surface of the porous support plate 10a by the press contact with the press roller 11 is prevented from being leaked by the side guide portions 32a and has a sufficient height. The bottom leak mylar 33 and the end guide portion 32b have the bottom leak prevented, and the front leak mylar 31 prevents the front leak, so that the ink leaks between the opening portion 10c and the master 4 made by the plate making. Will be prevented.

  The dam member 20, that is, the front leak mylar 31, the side leak mylar 32, and the tail leak mylar 33 all extend in and out of the pressing region 50, and the fixed positions thereof are in and out of the pressing region 50. Due to the extension, it is possible to prevent the weir member 20 from dropping off over time due to impact or the like when the press roller 11 is pressed against the plate cylinder 10, and ink leakage may occur over time. There is no.

The side leakage mylar 32 and the bottom leakage mylar 33 improve the ink leakage accuracy at the side edge portion and the rear edge portion of the pressing region 50, but the pressing region 50 is provided by providing the front leakage mylar 31. Ink leakage at the front edge portion of the pressing area 50 is also prevented, and ink leakage from all the side edge portions of the pressing area 50 is prevented.
As described above, the dam member 20 prevents the ink leakage over time and the entire surface. Therefore, a good printed matter can be obtained with time.

  Excess ink that has oozed out of the aperture 10c but has not been used for printing remains in the space surrounded by the dam member 20, the master 4, and the aperture 10c, and after being pressed by the press roller 11, the aperture 10c. However, since the tail leakage mylar 33 is fixed to the end guide portion 32b, the shape and volume of the space corresponding to the excess ink amount change flexibly, and excess ink is removed. It is greatly contributing to preventing ink leakage by staying in such a space.

As described above, the plate cylinder 10 to which the present invention is applied and the stencil printing apparatus 1 having the plate cylinder 10 have been described as modes for carrying out the present invention.
In the said form, although the example which uses a thermoplastic resin film for each of the dam member 20, ie, the front leak mylar 31, the side leak mylar 32, and the bottom leak mylar 33 was shown, these materials are not restricted to this, Ink impermeability Further, a flexible resin plate, rubber plate, metal plate, or the like may be used.

  Moreover, although the thickness of the front leak mylar 31 and the side leak mylar 32 is 0.15 mm, the thickness is not limited to this and may be 0.2 mm or less. If the thickness exceeds 0.2 mm, the step between the porous support plate 10a having the opening 10c and the non-opening 10d that forms the main body of the plate cylinder 10 is too large and is wound around the plate cylinder 10. In addition, since wrinkles are generated in the master 4 and the ink cannot be dammed if the thickness is too thin, it is desirable that the thickness be in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. The bottom leak mylar 33 may be of any thickness as long as it does not interfere with printing.

When only the ink leakage from the front edge portion of the pressing area 50 is intended, the front leakage mylar 31 can be disposed only outside the pressing area 50 and fixed at this position.
If the dam member 20 is disposed inside and outside the pressing region 50 and the dropout is prevented over time, the fixing position may be only outside the pressing region 50.
The application of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment unless particularly limited in the above description.
