Definitions

  • An object of this invention is to provide an elasticallyyieldable offset blanket segment of a substantially greater thickness than heretofore known, whereby an inked design previously printed on a design-transfer surface of the blanket segment may be transferred with clarity and sharpness to an external wall surface of an irregularly shaped container body.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an elastially greater thickness and softness than heretofore known, whereby an inked design previously printed on a design-transfer surface of the blanket segment may be transferred with clarity and sharpness to an external wall of an irregularly shaped container body.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an offset blanket segment constructed from elast-omeric or polymeric material, such as natural or synthetic rubber, of a relatively low durometer hardness.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide an offset blanket segment having a printing surface of a relatively low durometer hardness, irrespective of the durometer hardness range of the blanket segment.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an elastically-yieldable offset blanket segment constructed from a plurality of laminated elastomeric or polymeric sections, each of which has a different durometer hardness than the others, and wherein at least one of said sections is an outer arcuate design-transfer section of a lesser durometer hardness than the remaining sections.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an elastically-yieldable offset blanket segment of a relatively low durometer hardness, whereby embossrnent of the blanket segment is materially reduced and prolonged service of the blanket segment is obtained.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method of decorating a container by using a plurality of identical elastically-yieldable blanket segments having designtransfer surfaces of a relatively low durometer hardness, whereby a selected design may be transferred from a design-transfer surface to a container body with clarity and sharpness.
  • FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic plan view of a dry offset printing system, and shows a pair of diametrically opposed press blanket segments constructed in accordance with this invention secured to a press blanket cylinder, a relief printing plate, an ink distributing mechanism, and a container in printing contact with a design-transfer surface of one of the blanket segments.
  • FIGURE 2 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view with a part shown in section, of a portion of the offset printing system of FIGURE 1, and illustrates the relative thickness of a blanket segment of this invention and a foreshortened container in contact with and deforming a design-transfer portion of the blanket segment.
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view, with a part shown in section, of a press blanket cylinder and a modified blanket segment, which is similar to the blanket segment illustrated in FIGURE 2, but differs therefrom in that the blanket segment is constructed from a plurality of arcuate laminated bodies of diverse thicknesses.
  • FIGURE 4 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view with a part shown in section of a conventional prior art offset printing blanket cylinder and a press blanket, and illustrates the relative thinness of the press blanket and a foreshortened container in conventional, substantially noneforming contact with a design-transfer portion of the blanket segment.
  • FIGURE 1 The components of a dry offset printing system constructed in accordance with this invention are diagrammatically illustrated in FIGURE 1 and include a printing press blanket cylinder 5, a pair of identical diametrically opposed offset blanket segments 6, 6, a relief printing plate 7, an ink distribution mechanism 8 and an ink fountain 10. Suitable mechanisms, well known in the prior art, are employed to effect dispensing of the ink from the ink fountain 10, through the ink distribution mechanism 8, onto a relief surface 11 of the relief printing plate 7. The relief printing plate 7 is rotated in synchronism with the cylinder 5 in a manner well known in the prior art.
  • a conventional printing press blanket cylinder 15 includes an external peripheral surface 16.
  • a conventional rubber offset blanket 17 is tubular in transverse cross-section, and is stretched over the blanket cylinder 15 into intimate contact with the surface 16.
  • the conventional offset blanket 17 includes a design-transfer surface 18 and is a rubbercoated fabric structure 0.065 inch in thickness, and has a surface hardness range of 7075 durometer as measured by a Shore durometer.
  • a conventional offset blanket 17 is extremely hard and extremely thin, as is shown by the dimension B of FIGURE 4.
  • the diameter of the blanket cylinder 15 in a conventional printing press bears a predetermined relationship to the diameters of the printing plate cylinders (also not shown) of the press.
  • the diameter of the press blanket cylinder bears a fixed rela- Patented July 19, 1966- tionship to container handling mechanism (not shown) to provide synchronized peripheral speed of the container surface 21 which is to be printed upon, and the surface 18 of the conventional offset blanket 17.
  • the diameter of the blanket cylinder 5 has been materially reduced in comparison to the diameter of the conventional press blanket cylinder shown in FIG- URE 4.
  • the thick offset blanket segment 6 is suitably mounted on a peripheral surface 22 of the blanket cylinder 5.
  • the thickness of the blanket segment 6 is indicated by the dimension A.
  • the thickness A of the offset blanket segment 6 is approximately 1 of an inch, and in conjunction with the reduced diameter of the press blanket cylinder 5, provides a total diameter of the press cylinder 5 and blanket segment 6 substantially equivalent to the total diameter of the conventional press cylinder 15 and blanket 17 shown in FIGURE 4. Because the total diameter of the press cylinder 5 and the blanket segment 6 is substantially equal to the total diameter of the conventional press cylinder 15 and the rubber blanket 17, the press cylinder 5 and the blanket segment 6 can be used in conventional offset printing presses, without modification thereof.
  • Each of the offset blanket segments 6 is formed from elastomeric or polymeric material, such as natural or synthetic rubber, varying in Shore durometer hardness from 15 to 40, but preferably within the range from to durometer.
  • the offset blanket segment 6 is substantially two-thirds softer and eight times thicker than the conventional blanket 17.
  • This above-mentioned deformation results directly from the increased blanket segment thickness A and the relative softness of the blanket segment 6.
  • the designtransfer surface 12 comes into intimate contact with a substantially greater area of the external wall 13 than has heretofore been possible.
  • the relatively thicker, softer, and deformable design-transfer surface 12 of each of the blanket segments 6, 6 precludes slippage and fuzzy type printing.
  • FIGURE 3 Illustrated in FIGURE 3 is a blanket cylinder 25 and a modified offset blanket segment 26.
  • the blanket segment 26 is suitably attached to a peripheral surface 27 of the blanket cylinder 25.
  • the blanket segment 26 is similar to the blanket segment 6 shown in FIGURE 2, but differs therefrom in that the blanket segment 26 is constructed from a plurality of arcuate laminated sections.
  • A11 inner arcuate section 28 of the blanket segment 26 is secured to the blanket cylinder 25 in a manner well known in the prior art.
  • Overlying and laminated to the inner arcuate section 28 is a middle arcuate section 29.
  • Overlying and laminated to the middle arcuate section 29 is an outer arcuate designtransfer section 30 having a peripheral design-transfer surface 31.
  • the thickness A of the blanket segment 26 shown in FIGURE 3 is substantially identical to the blanket segment thickness A of the blanket segment 6 illustrated in FIGURE 2.
  • the diameter of the press blanket cylinders and the combined diameters of the press cylinder and blanket segment illustrated in FIGURES 2 and 3 are identical for the reasons heretofore mentioned.
  • the inner arcuate section 28, the middle arcuate section 29, and the outer design-transfer section 30 of the blanket segment 26 are made of polymeric or elastomeric material, such as synthetic or natural rubber, and each section has a different Shore durometer hardness range than any of the other sections.
  • the inner arcuate section 28 is the hardest
  • the middle arcuate section 29 is softer than the inner arcuate section 28
  • the outer design-transfer section 30 is yet softer than either the middle or inner arcuate sections 29 and 28 respectively.
  • the combined durometer hardnesses of the individual sections create a composite hardness varying between 15 to 40 durometer, but preferably within the range of 30 to 35 durometer.
  • the blanket segment 26 is a structure having a plurality of arcuate sections of varying durometer hardness, yet achieves the desired effective range of surface hardness.
  • the blanket segment thickness A may be varied and that the number of blanket segment sections, as well as their range of hardness, may also be varied within the scope of this invention.
  • the middle arcuate section 29 of the blanket segment 26 may be harder than either of the arcuate sections 28 and 30, so long as the range of efiective surface hard ness of the blanket segment 26 is within 15 to 40 durometer.
  • a conventional rubber offset blanket such as the conventional offset blanket 17 becomes embossed with the design of a printing plate due to the extreme hardness and thinness of the blanket, and the continued impact of the printing plate upon a design-transfer surface of the conventional offset blanket. Due to the relative softness and thickness of the blanket segments 6 and 26, the tendency of the respective design-transfer surfaces 12 and 31 to become embossed Will be materially reduced, with the attended beneficial result of prolonged service of the blanket segments.
  • the press-blanket cylinder 5 may be constructed from a conventional press-blanket cylinder, such as the pressblanket cylinder 15 shown in FIGURE 4, by removing a substantial peripheral portion of the conventional pressblanket and thereafter, securing a pair of blanket segments, such as the blanket segments 6, 6, to the periphery of the press-blanket cylinder in diametrically opposed relationship.
  • a method of transferring a design from a press blanket to the body of an irregularly shaped non-round tapered container of a surface configuration defined by bodily displacing and rotating the varying radii without the smearing of minute design details comprising: inking a design upon a surface portion of a rubber press blanket mounted upon a rotating cylinder, said press blanket having a Shore durometer hardness within the range of to 40 durometer, and bodily displacing and rotating the tapered surface of the container into contact with the blanket while concurrently rotating the blanket so that surface portions of different radii of said container depress different portions of said blanket in different amounts at the points of contact therebetween so as to effect the transfer of said ink design upon said container surface portions whereby slippage is precluded and the design is transferred without smearing or fuzziness to the irregular surface portions of the container.
