Definitions

  • a device for fastening flexible printing plates within a recess formed in a printing cylinder includes a generally C-shaped holding piece over which one end of the printing cylinder is directed and at least one rail member which has means for clamping the opposite end of the printing cylinder.
  • the rail member is rotatable for the purpose of tensioning the printing plate and for engaging the first end with a spring clamping element to hold this first end while the second end is being moved in a direction to tension the plate.
  • the clamping means includes two rail members which are arranged end-to-end and which may be moved in axial directions toward and away from each other to engage and disengage clutch elements defined on these ends for the purpose of providing combined or single movement of the rail members.
  • the arrangement permits the clamping of a single wide printing plate or several narrow printing plates in a side-by-side arrangement on the plate cylinder.
  • This invention raltes, in general, to the construction of printing cylinders and, in particular, to a new and useful printing plate cylinder having means for securing various size flexible printing plates thereon, particularly for employment in rotary offset printing machines.
  • the present invention is an improvement over the prior art, particularly in respect to the construction of clamping means which permit the easy installation of flexible printing plates and the securing of plates in position by clamping means which is located in a recess within the cylinder.
  • a particular advantage of the present construction is that the clamping means is adjustable to permit the mounting of either a single wide or a plurality of narrow printing plates side by side on the plate cylinder.
  • the construction is such that it is possible to mount a plurality of narow printing plates individually and independently of each other. It is also possible with the inventive construction toeffect the tightening of the printing plates in a single manipulation, even though the plate may be very wide.
  • the device also permits a very fine compass adjustment.
  • the printing cylinder includes a recess with a relatively narrow opening gap on the cylinder circumference in which recess is positioned a clamping rail member.
  • the rail member is adapted to be aflixed to one end of the printing plate to be affixed to the plate cylinder and it may be rotated and shifted to tension and to bias the printing plate and to tightly clamp the first end thereof.
  • two such rail members are provided which are interengaged centrally but which may be rotated together for the purpose of clamping an extremely wide printing plate to the plate cylinder.
  • the construction is such that the rail members which clamp the ends of the printing plate may be moved simultaneously when they are engaged or independently when they are separated. Simple means are provided for effecting their engagement or separation.
  • the rail 3,410,211 Patented Nov. 12, 1968 members are constructed so that they do not engage so that they may be separately manipulated such as for clamping narrow printing plates on a printing cylinder.
  • one rail member is provided which my be rotated for the purpose of automatically holding one end of the printing plate and engaging the other while the printing plate is tightened around the cylinder.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a print ing cylinder with a clamp means which includes one or more rail members which are slidable and rotatably displaceable within said cylinder and with further means for adjusting the position of said rail members for clamping one end of a printing plate and thereafter holding the opposite end while a printing plate is tightened on the printing cylinder.
