21 Claims.
This invention relates primarily to sheet-fed printing presses in which two or more similar printing couples, or color units, are connected together to form a multicolor printing machine.
A main object of this invention is to provide an arrangement for transferringthe partially printed sheets from one printing couple to the next without bringing the newlyprinted face of the sheet'in contact with anything that can injure it.
Another object is to provide suitable space between units for convenience in operating, and yet not to transfer the sheet, or in other words to change from one holding device to another, more times than necessary. 4
Another object is to keep perfect register during each-transfer.
A still further object of this invention is to drythe print as much as practicable after one application of ink before applying the next ink.
To obtain these and other valuable features, I use grippers in a plurality of channel-shaped bars extending across the machine, with either end carried on sprockets in such a way that the grippers in the bars take the sheet from the grippers of one impression cylinder and carry it to 1 the grippers of the impression cylinder of the next printing unit.
Bar with grippers are in common use to take sheets, after being printed, from an impression 4 cylinder to the delivery; but it is noticeable that end on a single side link of the chain. I provide two pins, each being integral with a side link. These pins project into an end of the gripper bar, thus making a stronger and better support for the bar and one that is more easily assembled.
Although my .invention may be applied to other forms of printing and to transferring a sheet for other operations, I have shown it as applied to a lithographic offset printing press. This application, with the details of construction, is here described and shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic elevation of the cylinders and the chain transfer of two units of cylinder grippers are about to open.
sheets thus carried have not been kept in exact register on account of the chains having a cer- To avoid thi I provide in eachendof a gripper bar a gear segment, which is brought into exact meshing relation with a gear on either end of the impression cylinder before the sheet is transferred to or from the impression cylinder.
To obtain exact side register each gripper bar has on the under side at one end a wedge-shaped projection which fits into a recess in a lug on the side of the adjacent sprocket, shown here as integral with the sprocket. The above, with a plane contact at the other end of the bar, brings the two gear. segments into close mesh with the gears on the cylinders before the sheet is changed from one holding device to another.
It will be seen'that both in the impression cylinder and in the transfer gripper bar each gripper has its own spring for holding it in contact with the sheet. This avoids trouble in setting Figure 5 is the top view of a portion of a chain showing the pins for supporting a bar.

Figure 7 is a section of a bar and sprocket on line 'I--'| of Figure 6 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 8 is a section of the gripper bar on line 88 in Figure 2'looking in the direction of the arrows, showing a gripper and a center bearer.
Figure 9 is a top view of the parts shown in Figure 8.
Figure 10 is a top view of two portions of the gripper shaft and the accompanying parts in the impression cylinder.
.Figur 11 is a section of the gripper bar and shaft on line I|ll of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows, showing the gripper shaft stop.
In these drawings each reference character designates the same part wherever shown.
In Figure 1 are shown the essentials of two units of a multicolor offset press. 2| is the impression cylinder of the first unit or printingcouple. The second impression cylinder is desiE nated as 2|. The first blanket, or transfer cylinder, is 22, the plate cylinder 23, the water motion 24, and the ink motion 25. The paper is fed, without stopping, to the first impression cylinder at 25 from the sheet feeder, not shown. Here it i taken by the cylinder grippers 21 and carried past contact 28, where it receives its first print from the blanket on cylinder 22. Thence it proceedsto position 29, where it is transferred to the bar grippers 30, around sprockets 3| and 32, to position 33, where it is transferred to the grippers 21 in cylinder 2|. Thence the sheet passes to contact 34, where it receives its second print from the blanket on cylinder 22'. Thence it continues to position 35, where it is transferred to the bar grippers 30, to be carried in like manner in order to receive its third print, or if it is a two-color press, to be carried to the delivery.
This invention relates especially to the arrangement of the chain transfer from position 29 to position 33 for holding the bar, including the grippers, in exact register with the cylinder as the sheet is transferred to and from the bar. Also the grippers, both in the bar and in the cylinder, have a new and improved method of mounting and operating them.
The gripper bar 36 is channel shaped with two gear segments 31 fastened, one into either end,
by the screws 38, 39, and 43(see Figure 6) or by some other method, as by being welded in place. Each segment has a central hole in which a gripper shaft 4| is mounted, free'to rock. The impression cylinder 2| has a longitudinal groove 42 andhas bearers 43 and gears 44 at either end, and the bearers and one gear have holes for mounting the gripper shaft 45.
Lugs |ll| and ||I| on the inside of the sprockets support the gripper bars 35 to bring the gear segments into close mesh with the cylinder gears 44 before and during each transfer of the sheet. This, with a wedge-shaped projection I02 on the under side of the bar at one end, fitting into a recess H13 in the corresponding lug I I keeps the bar in exact register in bothdirections as the transfer is made. This lug is shown integral with the sprocket but may be made separate and fastened on in exact position if desired.
The gripper bar 36 has a center bearing 45 for the gripper shaft 4|, and it is fastened in by screws 41 and 4B. The impression cylinder gripper shaft has a corresponding center bearing 49, and this and the bearing 46 in the gripper bar are turned to the radius of the cylinder bearers and roll together before and as a transfer is being made to steady the bars.
The impression cylinder gripper shaft is operated from fixed cams 50 for the first unit and from for the following units through lever 52 and roll 53. The bar gripper shaft is operated from fixed cams 54 and 55 through lever 56 and roll 51.
The grippers 21 and 30 are mounted free on gripper shafts 45 and 4t and are normally held closed by springs 58 guided by pins 59 and 6|) and pressing upward against arm GIL Collar 62 is attached to the gripper shaft by set screw 53 and carries pin 64 with head 65 to hold the gripper in its side position. Collar 52 should be so set that there is a slight clearance at 65 (see Figures 8 and 9). Cylinder and bar grippers are alternatedf and thrust strips 6,! and G8 are cut away at 69 to clear the other grippers when they open or close. Operating lever 55 in the bar is located inside of gear segment 31 and extends through an opening in bar 36. Cam 54 is mounted free on sprocket shaft 58 and is kept from turning by stud 1| connected to the frame |8. Cam extends around shaft I! but is fixed to frame l8 as at I2. Lever 56 has an arm 13 for receiving a spring pressure for holding roll 51 against cam 54. Arm I4 (see Figures 1 and 11) has a stop screw 15 for preventing cam roll 51 from dropping when not on cam 54 or 55. Arm
It takes a spring pressure to hold cam roll 53 against cam 50.
Pins I1 and 18, integral with two chain side links, support the gripper bar from chain I9. Pin 11 extends into hole 80 (see Figures 5 and 6) in gear segment 31 forming the end of bar 36. Pin I8 extends through the hub 83 of link 8|, which is swung in recess 84 from pin 82 extending through the gear segment 31.
The impression cylinder shaft l1 and chain sprocket shaft l5 are connected by gears l5 and I4, forming a part of a driving system, other parts of which are not shown, as they form no part of this invention. The chain 19 follows lines 85 and 86 between sprockets 3| and 32 and is guided in the usual way by bars 81, 88, and 89.
' The front edge of the partly printed sheet when taken by the bar grippers is carried over the path 90, 9|, and 92 to position 33, where it is transferred to the second impression cylinder grippers.
To keep the body of the sheet in or near this path,
a guard 93 is located slightly outside of this path and held by bars 94 and 95. This guard may be of sheet metalor of a number of bars. To keep the unprinted side of the sheet against the guard, a current of air from a fan or any convenient source of pressure is brought through pipes 96 and 91 and side tubes 98 against the printed side of the sheet at 99 and I00. This air serves another very useful purpose, that of helping to dry the fresh print before another application of ink is made. i
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the sheet is carried from one printing to the next with only two transfers and these in exact register in both directions; that nothing but air touches the face of the sheet between printings; that there is the best possible chance to dry the ink between printings; and that there is ample room for working between units. -The what I rality of gripper bars, each with a gear segment at either end, which segment is brought into mesh with a gear or gear segment on the impression cylinder before the sheet is transferred from the cylinder to the bar or from the bar to another impression cylinder.
