Definitions

  • Printing plates or blocks made of rubber or similar yielding and elastic material do not find such a universal use they deserve owing to their well known advantages.
  • the main reason for this is the difiiculty of placing the printing plates in an exact position on the plate cylinder or on the flat plate support in such a manner, so that the imprints of the respective separate colours of the printed picture are aligned to fit each other.
  • This invention permits in a simple and easy Way to fix these plates or blocks instantaneously at the right and exact place namely on cylinder mantles as well as directly on the cylinders or flat platesupports.
  • Fig. 1 shows a register type for printing the register rings e.
  • Fig.2 is a view of a rubber plate 9 schematically shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows the auxiliary working table for suitable preparation of the mantles.
  • Fig. 4 presents a perforated mantle p, provided with pins m passing through the holes, having its ont edge held on the plate cylinder, in
  • Fig. 5 shows the perforating device.
  • Fig. 6 represents an indicating pin m on its base K.
  • Figs. '7 and 8 illustrate the employing of indicating pins by direct fixing of the plates on flat plate supports or plate cylinders.
  • the type j which reproduces the register ring e, is already located at proper places in the type composition, by obtaining print casts, at best at the top and bottom or on either side of the composition, exactly in the middle line of the said composition. From the aforesaid print cast matrices and rubber plates are obtained in a known manner, which possess, as Fig. 2 shows, the register rings 6.
  • the mantles are turned over on the working table and the pins (Fig. 6) are put through all the holes from the bottom upwards, afterwards the perforated printing plates are put on the pins, by which process the plates are stuck on the mantle ance of the method according to this invention, i exactly at the right places If no register plugs are used, the printing plates can be registered on the mounting sheets in the manner that the holes in the printing plates exactly cover the perforations in the mounting sheets.
  • Example I perforations their reverse side turned towards the top, and when for example a four colour printing is to be obtained, four mantles will be fixed at once one over the other.
  • the printed copies of the main colour willb'e'fixed on the upper mantle by means of small parts of glued strip namely so as the ready printed sheet should appear and then all the holes will be perforated in the four mantles by means of the perforating device (Fig. 5)
  • the pins Fig. . 6
  • the pins Fig. . 6 shifted through the holes from bottom upwards and then the perforated printing plates are fixed to the mantles, after shifting of the same on these pins. Then in turn the pins are removed and the ready mantles are stretched cnthe cylinders.
  • all the mantles can also besimultaneously perforated, for instance byprinting on one side ,Withthree colours and with two colours on the other side, three mantles are at first to be placed on the working table with the right side to the top and then thenext two mantles with the back side of the mantle to the top, after which it is to be proceeded according to the above described i. e. that the printed copies are fixed to the upper mantle and all the mantles are to be simultaneously perforated.
  • Example [I The exact sticking of rubber printing'plates on flat plate supports by fiat-printing machines is carried out according to this invention'in such a manner, that in this case the above mentioned mantles find also temporarily an auxiliary usage. The same are also fastened on the working table and, after a right. distribution of printed copies supplied with register rings, perforated.
  • This method is carriedout as described in Example I. whereby the pins are put through the holes, but such ones are provided previously with perforated pieces of bilaterally glued strip 11., placed onthe base K (Fig. 7).
  • Thus prepared mantles p are placed on the plate support q (Fig. 8). and the overlapping glue strip n around the pins is pressed to the support q.
  • Example III Using plate cylinders without stretching arrangement the procedure is the same as in Example II.
  • rubber printing plates as used herein and in the claims is intended to include plates of naturalorsynthetic rubber orslniilar naturalor synthetic material.
  • Method for fastening a plurality of pastable printing plates consisting of rubber or similar elastic material onto the printing plate cylinder or its tympan sheets or fiat printing plate supports with exact registen' which method comprises the following steps: stamping circularholes in the printing plates at the placesindicated by register rings inserted in thecomposition; fastening the proofs of the printing plates in corresponding position on a tympan-sheet intended for the pasting on of the printing plates; placing allv tympan sheets, oneabove theother, so that similar circular holes'are simultaneously stamped at the places indicated by the register rings: present in the proofs; passing register plugs provided with supporting plates through these holes of the tympan sheets; placing the printing plates on the register plugs in such a manner that the latter extend beyond the surface of the printing plates; and, finally, pasting the printing platesfirmly on, and then removing the register plugs.
