Fig, 3 is an end elevation ofthe construc-' tion shown in Fig. 1, a certain partsbeing broken away and certain parts being shown in section, the view showing-the cylinder in the posltlon it assumes when on its impression stroke; Fig. 4 1s, a. similarview of one partly in section; showing'theiparts in the posit1onsassumed when the cylinder is oned by means of a usual tension roll 4. v
The cylinder 1 is reciprocated successively over a late-supporting bed-5 and a worksupport ng-bed 6, which are supported in the frame of the-machine so as tobe capable :'"Twrticala adjustment, to accommodate difl 'erent kinds of work. The 'means for supporting thebeds -and for efle'cting this ad ustment 'may-be somewhat varied, but in .the particularvconstruction illustrated there are provided cross-frames 7 8, at each end of thema'chine, and a cross frame -9 -in the "central portion thereof, these frames being supported onprojections 10 secured on the frame of the machine. a The beds are pro vided' with ears 11 through whichy are threadedbolts 12, these bolts resting, onthe flanges of the cross frames", Thebedsare thus'supported by these boltsyanfd by adjusting the bolts the bedsmay be raised and;
plates. or stones of various thicknesses and' suitable hand wheel 2 by'which-the cylinder '1 may" be ,reciprocated over the beds This, cylinder 1 isIprovided with the usual transfer-surface, which may be ablanket 3, suit- 'ably-'j' secured to the cylinder-,1 and ;'capable "of'having its tension on the cylinder adjust lowered as-desired. Theplate supporting bed is shown as supporting a stone 14,
though it will be understood that any other type of printing surface may be supported on the bed if desired or necessary.
Machines constructed in accordance with the invention will be provided with means whereby the cylinder and the beds may be caused to clear on the return or non-impression stroke of the cylinder, and these means, in the best constructions, will act to lift the cylinder sufliciently to' enable it to clear the beds. These cylinder lifting means will, furthermore, in machines embodying the invention in its best form, be arranged so as to be operated either by the press operator or automatically by the movement of the cylinder. While these means may be varied, in the best constructions and as illustrated the cylinder is provided at each of its ends with pinions 15 which mesh with racks 16 suitably secured as by bolts 17 to the side frame 18 of the machine, these racks being, as illustrated, located outside the side frames. While two pinions 15 and two racks 16 have been illustrated, it will be understood that if desired one of these pinions and the corresponding rack may be omitted. Inside the racks the cylinder is provided with a bearing surface 19 which, when the cylinder is on impression stroke, is adapted to run on the top edge of the side frames 18, as shown in Fig. 3, the cylinder when in this position being in printing relation with the beds. For lifting the cylinder so as to clear the beds, on its return or nonimpremion stroke, there are provided a pair of lifter bars 20 which are located between the side frames 18 and the racks 16, the securing bolts 17 passing through the bars which are suitably slotted, as shown at 21, to permit their lifting movement. The top edges of these lifter bars, when in their lowermost position, are preferably of the same height as the top edges of the frames 18 and contact with the outer portion of the bearing surface 19 of the cylinder when the cylinder is on its impression stroke. On the return stroke, the lifter bars are operated to raise or lift the cylinder to clear the beds, the cylinder when thus lifted being clear of the side frames and the rack and running during its return stroke on these lifter bars, the means employed for lifting these bars being of such character as to firmly hold the bars in raised position and form a track for the cylinder to run on on its return stroke. The means for raising these lifter bars may be of somewhat varied character, but they will be of such construction preferably that they may be operated either by the press operator or automatically by the movement of the cylinder. In the construction illustrated, there is provided a pair of crank arms 22, 23, pivoted on suitable studs 24 in the frame of the machine. These crank arms are connected at one end by a bar 25 secured ther to and at their other ends connect through links 26 and arms 27 with operating fingers 28 pivoted at 29 in the frame of the machine. These crank arms are provided with notched or recessed portions in which seat pins 30, the other ends of these pins taking into suitable notches in the underside of the lifter bar 20 before referred to. This arrangement of cranks and pins is duplicated on the other side of the machine and forms in effect a number of toggles fivhich when straightened out operate to raise the lifter bars and hold the same firmly in elevated or raised position until the toggles are broken, thus forming a firm track for the cylinder to travel on on its return or non-impression stroke.
In the operation of the construction so far described the operating fingers 28 are arranged to be in the path of the bearing surfaces 19 of the cylinder before referred to, and are struck by the cylinder at each end of its traverse over the bed, the cylinder thus automatically operating the lifter bars to cause them to lift the cylinder clear of the beds at the end of the impression stroke, and at the end of the return or non-impression stroke the 7 cylinder likewise acts through the other operating finger tobreak the toggle, thus causing the lifter bars to be depressed and the cylinder brought into printing relation with the beds. i
It may be desirable in some instances to operate the lifter bars by means operable by the pressman, and one such means is provided by the invention. In the particular construction illustrated there is provided another crank 31 pivoted at 32 in the frame of the machine, one arm of which is connected to the bar 25 before referred to, the other arm of which isconnected to a link 33 pivoted on a stud 34 carried on a foot treadle 35 pivoted on a rockshaft 36 suitably journaled in the frame of the machine. The crank 31 may be, like the cranks 22, 23, before referred to, notched or recessed to take one end of a pin 37, the other end of which seats in a notch in the underside of the lifter bar. This construction is duplicated on the other side of the machine,
and through it the operator may raise and lower the lifter bars from either side of the machine. If desired, other arms may be provided, such as arm 38, connected to rod 25, before referred to, and recessed t take pin 39, this pin taking into a recess 1n the underside of the lifter bar, this construction i onduring its return or non-impression stroke. Furthermore, bythe arrangement shown in which the racks arelocated outside the lifter bars, these racks are readily accessible and may be readilygotten at to be cleaned. Y Y
To prevent endwise. displacement of the cylinder and tokee'p it in position during its returnstroke there maybe provided on the cylinder holding flanges 40, these, hold"- ing flanges being adapted to bear against the side frames 18 of the machine, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
Machines constructed in accordance with the invention will be provided with means forholding the work firmly in position while it is receiving the impression from the transfer cylinder. These positioning means may be of varying character, butin the-best constructions will be caused to seize or release the work by the movement of the cylinder. In the construction illustrated, these .hol'ding means are grippers 41 carried on a shaft 42 extending across, the machine.
While two gripper fingers have been shown,
it will be understood that asmany as desired may be employed. These grippers are arranged to be actuated to seize the work after it has been positioned on the bed and after-the cylinder has passed the bed onits return or'no'n-impression stroke and to release the work after the cylinder has completed its printing or impression These means may be varied, but in the construction illustrated may beefl'ected through the opcrating fingers 28 before referred" to. In the particular construction illustrated,-;the shaft 42 on which the gripper fingers are carried is supported in ears 43 secured by suitable bolts 44 to a cross bar 45 supported 1 in the cross frame 9, before referred to.
The bar 42 is rocked to move the'grippers in holding and releasing positions through an arm 46 and link 47 connected to anarm 48 on the rock shaft 36, before referred to, a spring 49 being provided, if desired, to
effect a .yielding movement of the parts With this construction it will be seen that when the cylinder has finished its return stroke and has moved the operating finger 28 at the left-hand end of the machine, themovement of this finger throughbar 25,
