This invention relates to web-perfecting printing'machinesdesigned to print either newspapers" or magazines.

The object of the resent invention is to so, v construct the machine that it will serve to print newspapers either in book form or in sections in multiples of two pages up to the full capacity of the machine,"and will also, without substantial readjustment, serve to print magazines.

The invention further relates to the means provided for introducing sup lements consisting of either two pages or our pages between the webs, in such a way as to secure perfect register of the inserted supplement sheets and without the necessity for the employment of tapes or other like devices for feeding or guiding purposes.

The invention further relates to the means I provided for slitting theweb and feeding the web members; to the means provided for introducing the supplement sheets between the web members; to theomeans for collecting the cut sheets, the means for assembling the sections, and to numerous details in the gonstruction and operation of the machine as a whole and of the various lnstrumentalitles enter ng into its general construction.

In the present invention, in order to adapt 9 the machine to the requirements either of newspaper printing or magazine printing,

provision has been made for the use on the plate cylinders of newspaper plates having! columns running lengthwise of thecylinder,i with further provision for the alternate use of magazine plates having columns' circunrferentially of the plate cylinder. This arrangement insures the printing of newspaper pages which are in length verti- 40 cally equalp-to the width of two magazine sheets plus margins, and with the newspaper pages having a width (horizontally) substantially equalto the verticallength of the magazine pages. In short, the arrangement is one which prints two magazine pa es on a web member in area equal to a singe news-- paper page, so that, by the arrangement provided for in the present machine, the .webs,j

lwhether fdr newspaper or magazine print-g mechanisms ad usted for the'prmting of ing, may be slitted of the same transverse magazine plates width the difference in arrangement being confined to themanner inwhich the columns are im rinted upon this amount of area.

Furt ermore, where magazine pages are being printed, the web will-be cut into lengths substantially equal to one-half the length of the full speed webmembers required in the printing of newspaper sheets, and the magazine sheets will be folded longitudinally while the newspaper sheets will be folded transversely of the web run. This enables the machine, with slight readjustment, to

print sheets of the desired character; and the machine is also adapted to print single sheets either on one side for dodgers, or on two sides for inserts, without substantial readjustment.

Fig. 14 is a diagrammatic view, showing a perfecting unit employing an additional plate cylinder for color printing.

Referring to Fig. 1, the machine of the form therein shown comprises three perfecting units, A, B, C. The perfecting unit A is arranged to perfect both sides of the web from different longitudinal portions of a single plate cylinder, while the units B and C are arranged to perfect opposite sides of the respective webs by the provision in each case of two plate cylinders.

Referring tothe perfecting unit A, the paper web is fed from a roll 20 over guide rolls 21 and 22 to the near end section of a plate cylinder 23 which co-operates with an impression cylinder 24. The web afterwards passes over a guide roller 25 to angle bars 26 arranged to transport the web imprinted.

on one side to the far end of the plate cylinder, after which the web passes over a guide roller 27 and over the far end of the guide roll 22 and again laid between the plate cylinder 23 and the impression roller 24 to perfeet the opposite side of the web at the far end of the-plate cylinder and impression cylinder. This imprints a web in width equal to one unit which may represent the length of a newspaper page or the width of two magazine pages, depending upon whether the plate cylinder is plated with newspaper plates, with columns running lengthwise as in Fig. 3 or with magazine plates, with columns running circumferentla-lly' as in Fig.

2, it. beingunderstood, of course, that'the' plate cylinder 23 is of double the length of the cyl'lnder'shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A supplemental plate cylinder 23 may be added ghere multi-color printing is desired, as in he perfecting units B and C are substantially the same. The unit B acts upon a web fed from a roll 28 over guide rollers 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, to a plate cylinder 34 coacting with an impression cylinder 35 in adjacent relation to an impression cylinder 36, which in turn coacts with a plate cylinder 37, the cylinders 34 and 37 co-operating to perfect both sides of the web during its run through the unit B. After being perfected, the web is run over guide rollers- 38 and 39 to the drag roller 40 which is located immediately above a double width former 41 and a single width former 42, as indicated in Fig. 4.

The web perfected on the unit C is fed from a roll 43 under guide rolls 44, 45, 46, and thence between a plate cylinder 47 with its coacting impression cylinder 48, and a color plate cylinder 47, also co-operating with the impression cylinder.48, which imprints one side of the web, which is thereafter perfected on the opposite side by the coaction'of a plate cylinder 49 withthe impression cylinder 50, after which the'web travels over guide rolls 51, 52, 53, to the drag roller 40, where the web is associated with the webs running from the other perfecting units.

Each of the perfecting units may be driven at full speed or half speed as occasion may require; As shown, power is derived from a main power shaft 54 which runs horizontally near the base of the machine and is provided with beveled gears 55, 56, 57, which mesh respectively withbeveled gears 58, 59, 60, on the respective vertical transmission shafts 61, 62, 63, provided for driving the respective units.

The vertical shafts serve to transmit-power to three horizontal shafts, 64, and 66, through the medium ofbeveled gears 67, 68 and 69 respectively.

Each of the shafts 64, 65 and 66, while traveling at full speed, may be utilized to transmit eitherfull speed or half speed rotationto the respective units, through the provision of appropriate gearing, the full speed gearing being located on the near side of Figu 1, and the half speed gearing on the far s1 e.

The full speed gearing, in each instance,

comprises transmisslon spur gears 70 and 71, the latter of which meshes with a, driven spur gear 72 on the impression cylinder24 (or 36 or 50 as the case may be).

The driven spur gear 72 distributes equally full speedrotation to the other rotating elements constituting the unit, so that, with the gears in train, the unit will be operated at' full speed.

,Where it is desired to drive at half speed,

the full speed train is broken, and the drivin is efiected through small spur'pinions 73 anc i as to permit it to a large spur pinion 74, which reduces the speed to one half in case ofany or all of the units, which, for the time being, are being driven through the half speed gearing.

It is not deemed necessary to further illustrate and describe the gear trains, which may be of any suitable or desirable character.

The foregoing description has been directed to an arrangement in which all 'of the webs are led to the drag roller 40 and associated above the former, but where it is desired to introduce supplement sheets, a single width web, perfected on the perfecting unit A while running at half speed, is led through guide rolls 75 below the single width former referred to and introduced between the full speed webs running from the single width former 42 and the double width former 41, as shown in Fig. 5. g

The web running through the guide rolls 75 encounter angle bars 76 below the former 42, which change its plane of travel in such a way be introduced between the full speed webs. After passing the angle bar 76, the half speed web travels between forwarding rollers 77 and between a pair of cutting cylinders 78 and 79 which are provided with a cutting knife 80. Below the cylinders 78-79, the web ispassed between guides 81, and thence between a pair of upper spaced forwarding rolls 82, and later between a pair of lower contacting forwarding rolls 83, which upper and lower pairs of rolls also serve to associate the full speed webs running from the formers 41 and 42.

The web running from the former 41 passes through forwarding rolls 84 and past guide rolls 85 and 86., and thence inwardly to the associated upward forwarding roll 82. In like manner, the web running from a single former 42 passes through forwarding rolls 87, and around guide rolls 88 and 89, and thence to the associated forwarding roll 82.

' this point The half speed web running through the cutting rolls 78-79 and through the guides 81 enters the restricted space between the slightly separated forwarding rolls 8 2, and at comes within the influence of the rapidly running full speed .webs, so that the half speed insert or supplement will have its leading edge lightly engaged'and forwardly directed until the convergence of the full speed webs brings the leading edge directly into the bite of the closely spaced forwarding rolls 83. At the instant that this occurs, the cutting elements 80' on thecylinders 78-79 sever the half speed web, so that the severed sheet will, at the instant of severance,

full speed between the hitherto unsevered full speed webs. I The full speed webs thus serve to guide and control the forward or leading edge of the half speed web and to direct it into the bite of the rolls 83, so that at the instant of severance the half speed web will lie smoothly and spring forward at width web into three web members evenly in position to full speed with the webs on eitherside of it.

At the instant of severing the half speed supplement web cut, the leading edge behind the cut is caught by pins 90 on the supplement roll 79 and carried into the bite of the rolls. The pins will be disengaged by the actlon of one of the guide members 81, the upper edge of which acts as a stripper for the web. By reference to Fig. 4, it will be noted that provisoin is made for severing a full by the provlslon of slitters 91 and 92, the former of which is located immediately above the center of the double width former 41, and the latter of which is located above the upper edge of the-single former 42.

By this arrangement, one single width only of the two web widths passing over the former 41 is guided by the rolls 85-86 to the rolls 82-83. The other web members pass between forwarding rollers 93 and between the cutting cylinders 94-95 to be afterwards brought together as a section of the completed newspaper.

Although the supplement web travels at only half the speed of the main webs, it is not necessary to provide collecting mechanism in view of the fact that the webs are prlnted with columns which extend transversely of the line of travel of the webs. This brings a single two-page supplemental sheet,

cut to the widthof one-page plus margins,

intoassociated relation with the main web members to be cut to the width of two-pages plus margins but when these main web members are cut and folded, the supplement sheet will lie between adjacent pages of the newspaper with its inner edge adjacent the fold 99 .for -the reception of magazine cutting knives when the apparatus is used in the printing of magazines.

The diameter of the cylinders 96-97 is such that they will sever the main webs in lengths equal in each case to the .width of two pages plus margins, but will not act upon the interposed two-page supplement sheets, which are out half the length of the fourpage main page sheets.

The cylinder 97 is also provided with pins 100 disposed immediately behind the cutting line of theknife 98, and suitably actuated by means of a stationary cam 101 acting on bell crank lever sections 102-103 pivoted at the advance forwardly at A gagement throughout three-fourths of a revolution until the leading edge is brought into the bite of a stripper roll 106 partially surrounded by a shield 107 which terminates in a stop or abutment 108 serving as a stripper. The stripper roll 106 is provided with pins 109 which serve to carry the leading edges of the main webs up to the stripper stop 108, at which instant the knife 98 will arrive at the cutting line and sever the tail end of the main sheets from the main webs. At the same instant, a folder blade will be outwardly projected by suitable mechanism, not shown, to initiate a fold along the central margin of the four-page main sheets, which at th s instant extends from the cutting line indicated by the position of the knife in Fig. 5 to the stripper stop 108. This thrusts the web forward into the bite of the co-operating rollers 111 which, running at full speed, serve to fold and feed forward the cut sheets with the interposed supplement sheet. This fold extends through the middle of the severed section and in parallel relation to the columns, and servesto give a page arrangement to the associated newspaper, which at this stage will be in the form of a'ten-page book. The section thus folded is fed through a guide 112 and between adjustable rollers 113 into a guide 114-, which leads to'the forward rolls 115 and meets with a guide 116 leading from the cutting and folding cylinders '94 and. 95, which are similar in respect to the features heretofore described with the cylinders 96 and 97, excepting only for the fact that in the cutting cylinder 94 no provision need be made for the mounting ofv magazine cutting knives. The folding cylinder 95 coacts with a stripping cylinder sim lar to the one heretofore described, and the travel of the web through the rolls 93 and its folding is precisely the same as that heretofore described, with the exception, of course, that no supplement sheet is included.

After the sections delivered through the guides 114 and 116 have been assembled between rollers 115, they will proceed forward through a guide 117-to a cross folding device of any well known character.

The operations heretofore described result in the pninting of a 26-page newspaper, consisting of two sections, one of eight pages and the other of'eighteen pages, including the inserted two-page supplement sheet. This product is derived from the full speed main webs delivered from the rolls 28 and 43- which are associated above the double and single formers and slit into three web members by the slitters 91 and 92, together with the insert sheets delivered from the roll 20.

Where, however, it is desired to print the entire 26-pa'ge paper with included supplement in book form,.the right hand associated web members running from the former 4.1., instead of running to the forwarding rollers 93, will be associated with the web members running around the rollers 86, 82, 83, and

run through'the mechanism and be folded on the folding cylinder 97 in the manner heretofore described. Where it is desired to print a lesser product, a web from the roll 43 may be entirely omitted, which will result in the printing of a fourteen-page newspaper, or, if desired, anarrower web of a width equal to one or two pages may be run from the roll 43 and associated with the three-page-wide web paper in any desired multiple of two-pages up to the full capacity of the machine. Likewise, if desired, a lesser width of web could be run from the roll 28, with the option of 1ncluding or omitting an insert, so that any desired combination by multiples of twopages can be produced.

Where it is desired to use the'machine for the printin of magazines, the cylinders are plated in t e' manner indicated-in Fig. 2,

with columns running circumferentially ofv the cylinder. The individual magazine pages will be of half the area of the newspaper pages and in this case the column will run in parallel relation with the line of travel of the web through the machine, and the cutting mecha-msm will have to be adjusted -to produce two cuts for each complete rotation of the plate cylinders. Furthermore, a single medial fold between the columns of the respective pages on the same sheet will have from the roll 28 in the production of a newsto be provided for instead .of two folds as is customary in the production of newspapers.

Fig. 6 shows the mechanism adjusted forthe printing of magazines. In this case, the

cutting and folding cylinders 94 and 95 will be out of commission, and all thewebs will be run through the forwarding rolls 8283; lln this case, all of the webs may be run at half speed and through the forwarding rolls of the 'web until the next succeeding cut are folded into book form. In order to accommodate these operations, a collecting cylinder 118 is provided which operates in conjunction with the cylinder 97. r

The magazine feeding also necessitates the provision of two sets of magazine pin feeding devices 119, similar in all respects to the newspaper pin mechanism previously described, which in thepresent instance is rendered inactive by adjusting it to retract the pins 100 and holding it in'this inactive positionby the insertion of a pin 120. Similarly, Where newspapers are being fed, the magazine pin mechanisms shown in Fig. 5 are held inactive-by the use of a similar pin 120. Likewise, suitable cams 121 are provided for actuating the magazine feeding pins. J

The particular mechanism above described for actuatingthe'feeding pins is of conventional design and need not be described in detail, since the present invention is con.- cerned only with the provision of an adequate feeding pin mechanism, a single set of pins being provided for newspapers, and two sets being provided for magazine feedi ln addition to the added set of magazine feeding pins. on the roll97, the collecting c linder 118 is provided which is conventionallyshown in Figs. 5 and 6, and which in Fig. 5 is wholly out of commission as a cam track 126 or an inner circular cam trackv 127, which cam tracks are stationary but located in proximate relation to the end of the rotating collecting cylinder which carries the lever 124, the mechanism being duplicated at each end of the cylinder 1f desired.

The inner circular cam track terminates at I a gap 128, at which point the roller 125, if

unimpeded, will switch from th inner cam track to the outer cam track under the thrust of a spring 129. When the roller is riding against the outer track, as illustrated in Fig. 6, the pins will be retracted and will not engage and carry a sheet around the collect ng cylinder; but when the roller is riding against the inner track, the pins will be projected.

In order to project the-pins after an 1nactive rotation, the cylinder 97 provided ,with an adjustable lug 130which, during each alternate rotation of the collecting cyl-, inder, will enter the gap 128 at the instant when the roller 125 arrives at that point, thereby causing the roller 125 to be switched under the inner track 127 and the pins projected outwardly during the ensuing rotation of the collecting cylinder. At the end of such rotation, the lug 130 not being prescut to engage the roller 125, the roller will switch over into contact with the outer track, and the pins will be retracted during the ensuing rotation.

On the assumption that Fig. 6 illustrates 1 a situation in which a, severed magazine sheet is being carried around on the collecting cylinder, and the pins on the active pin mechanism 119 are engaging the leading edge of the oncoming web, the cut of the web on the collecting cylinder will be associated with the oncoming web at the instant when the two leading edges come into alignment, at which instant the collecting pins 123 will be retracted by the switching over of the roller 125 to the outer cam track, and the collected cut will engage the pins on 119 and go for ward with the second cut, the roller 125, during the ensuing c cle,'riding under the outer -cam track and ho ding the pins inactive.

However, the next time the roller 125 arrives at the gap 128, the lug 130 will not be present to impart an inward thrust against the roller 125, so that the latter will switch .back under the outer cam track 127', which retracts the pins.

When magazine pages are being printed, the single cutting knife on the cutting c linder 96 will be removed, or otherwise disa led,

and two magazine cutting knives 131 will be inserted in lieu thereof, and it is preferred to arrange these knives slightly out of exact diametrical opposition to one another, so that the alternate main web portions which carry the half speed inserted sheets will be slightly longer than the succeeding sheets, which is desirable in order to permit the complete escape of the inserted sheets before the next cut is effected to allow for inaccuracy in register, which otherwise might tend to "trim the edges of the inserts.

After collection, the pins on 119 advance 1 the sheets to the carrier cylinder 132 which is provided with pins 133 which engage the sheets at the instant they are released by the pins on 119 and carry them around until the leading edges are engaged by stripper guide bars 134 working in grooves in the carrier cylinder 132.

The stripper guide bars 134' coact with guide bars 135 and a forwarding roller 136 to direct theacompleted but yet unfolded magazine through the rolls 113 and through the channel 114 and through the rolls 115 and channel 116 to the folding rolls 117", which are conventionally illustrated in Fig.

umns extending in the line of travel will encounter a stop 137 and be immediately folded between the columns and across the edges cut by the knives 131. This completes the production of the magazine, which may be of any number of pa es in multiples of four up to the full capacity of the machine.

In Fig. 13, I have shown a modification in which the cylinder 96 is omitted, and a combined cutting and collecting cylinder 138 is provided. This cylinder is similar to the collecting cylinder 118, and the in mecha nism is the same as therein descri ed, but in addition to the pin mechanism the cylinder 138 may be provided with a magazine cutting knife 139 in proximity to the pin mechanism, or a cutting knife 139 for newspapers on the opposite side of the cylinder.

The knife 139 coacts with oppositely dis posed elevations 139 on the cylinder 97 to make two outs for each rotation of the cylinder 97, while the single newspaper knife coacts with a single elevation 139 on the cylinder 97 in making a single cut for each rotation of the cylinder 97, the arrangement of the pins on the cutting and collecting cylinder 138 and on'the cylinder 97 being such that alternate sections will be carried around the collecting cylinder by the pins on that cylinder, which pins are disabled and retracted at the instant when the leading edge of the collected'cut is associated with the leading edge ofthe oncoming web in the manner heretofore described.

. In Fig. 10 I have illustrated a modification in which the full speed three-page Wide web running from the roll 28 is carried through the drag roller 40 and slit by the slitters 91 and 92 and passes down over angle bars'140 which are employed in lieu or the formers heretofore described. a

The half speed supplement web in this 1 instance runs from the roll 20 and under the,

near-end between the impression cylinder. 23 andthe plate cylinder 24, and thence back on a high level and around the an le bars 26 and between the opposite ends of the plate and impression cylinders to perfect the opposlte side in the manner heretofore def. scribed with reference to Fig. 1. The half speed web thus led at right angles to the full speed main web is united with the latter at a point adjacent to the slitter 91, as shown in Fig. 12, and is thence directed down throu h the half speed cutting cylinders and introduced between the web members in the manner heretofore described in full detail.

Fig. 8 illustrates the mechanism shown in Figs. 5 and 6, but more articularl illus trates the method of drivmg the ful speed cutting cylinders 96 and. 97 through the medium of a chain 141 which drives the full speed cylinders, which in turn impart half speed to the cylinders 78 and 79 through the magma through a suitable gearing, and the cylinders 94 and 95 are operated at full speed through a gear train 143, provision also being made for the drivin of the folding blade, through the medium 0 a sprocket chain 144. In like manner, the forwarding rolls 84 and 87 which carry the websfrom the formers are driven through suitable beveled gearing 145 actuated by a shaft 146 driven from a sprocket chain 147 which derives power from the shaft which carries the drag roller 40, which roller .is driven by a sprocket chain 148 driven from the full'speed side of the machine through suitable intermeshing with the gears on tha side of the machine, as illustrated in Fig 1. Any other adequate means for entraining the various mechanisms may be employed in lieu of that above described.

In Fig. 11 is shown an arrangement in which the half speed cutting cylinders 78 and 79 are located within the space between the formers 41 and42, which may be desirable in some instances where economy of space is required. Fig. 11 shows an angularly arlieu of the angle bars'140 of Fig. 10, the formers 41 and 42 are employed. The run of the webs in Fig. 11 will be clearly understood without further detailed description.

In Fi 14 is shown an arrangement in which t e plate cylinders and impression cylinders are arranged in vertical relation, and in which an added plate cylinder and an added impression cylinder are provided for cases in which it is desired to print one side of the web in two colors. In the construction shown in Fig. 14, the web is led from a roll 149 over a guide roll 150 around an impression cylinder 151 carried by adjustable journals 152, which impression cylinder coacts with a plate cylinder 153. A second impression cylinder 154 is provided which coacts with a plate cylinder 155 adapted to print in a single color, for instance black. The web then passes around a second impression cylinder 156 and is imprinted'in a second color by a plate cylinder 157. The

from the main horizontal shaft 54 through the "vertical shaft 62, and suitable beveled gearing to the lower group of plate and impression cylinders. 1

The upper; printing unit 156-157 is driven through a, gear 159 in train with the gears which drive the lower cylinders, but where it is desired to eliminate color printing, the color plate cylinder '155 and the impression cylinder 154 are removed, without disturbing the gear train, which then continues to drive V the cylinders 1 56 and 157 1y understood from the preceding descripv' plate cylinders will be plated with newspaper page supplement sheets advancing at half speed will be out half the length'of the main sheets, and will lie in osition when engaged the cylinders will be plated with columns newspaper. It also requires that thefirst or speed webs, to provide collecting mechanisms Operation of the machine will be mainhalf speed perfecting device and half speed supplement cutting and insertingv deviee, .built on a higher level than said main cutting device, and located between the main full speed Webs or web members that run to the main cutting device, means on said full speed cutting devices for making two one-pagelong cuts for each revolution of the main full speed perfecting means, one of said cuts being slightly longer than the other cutfand means for collecting and folding said puts. 2.

3. A machine of the class described, comprising half speed supplement cutting and inserting devices, a main full speed cutter The operation tion,- but maybe briefly summarized as fol-. lows:

1 Where newspapers are being, printed, the

With this plating arrangement, the two-- by the full speed webs, so that the latter will be folded to lie on opposite sides of the insert. Adequate provision is made for these operations in the mechanism above described, which permits the products, up to the full capacity of. the machine, to be printed in multiples of two pages, either in sections or book form. I
