  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown a printing cylinder 20 having a first set of alined fingers 21 for engaging a printing plate at its registering edge, and a second set of alined fingers 22 for engaging the opposite, or tensioning, edge.
  • Each of the plates indicated at 23, 24, respectively (FIG. 2), extends halfway around the cylinder.
  • the cylinder may be two. four, or six pages in width, accommodating plates side by side, but only one half ofa four page wide cylinder has been illustrated.
  • Each plate has a series of pockets 25 milled along its underside adjacent the straight edges of the plate as shown in greater detail in the prior Crafts U.S. Pat. No. 2,474,889.
  • tension lockup In the underside lockup procedure, referred to as tension lockup, a plate is held on the cylinder with the registering fingers 2i engaging a set of pockets and with the fingers being peripherally adjusted to establish register. The second set of fingers 22 is then advanced into engagement with the pockets 25 at the opposite edge of the plate so that the plate is held in sustained tension snugly on the surface of the cylinder. Attention will first be given to the portion of the lockup mechanism which operates the fingers 22 for tensioning of the plate.
  • a longitudinal groove 30, having parallel walls 31, 32, housing all of the elements required for tensioning and takcup and having a flat bottom surface 33.
  • a series of cum blocks 35 Spaced along the groove 30 are a series of cum blocks 35, one for each of the fingers 22.
  • Such cam blocks are of hollow, boxy construction having sidewalls 36, 37 slidable against the walls of the groove 30 and an end wall 38.
  • Supported by the cam blocks are finger blocks 40, of which the fingers 22 are an integral part.
  • Each of the finger blocks has a sloping back surface 4I,-the purpose of which will shortly appear, and is held in place by means of a cover plate 42 having apertures, such as shown at 43, through which a finger 22 may project.
  • riser cam surfaces are provided in the bottom of the groove having axially facing ramp surfaces for elevating the cam blocks as they are moved in the axial direction so that the fingers 22 are elevated into projecting position and angled way surfaces are provided between the cam blocks and the finger blocks so that upon movement of the cam blocks in the axial direction the finger blocks are advanced chordwise moving the fingers into the corresponding pockets in the printing plate.
  • a riser cam 50 is secured to the bottom of the groove and has axially facing ramp surfaces 51, 52, each of which terminates in flat plateau surfaces 53, 54. The ramps are engaged by cam follower surfaces, 55, 56, formed on the bottom of the cam block 35.
  • angled way surfaces are provided in the form of a ridge 57 which engages a groove 58 on the underside of the finger block.
  • a threaded actuating rod which extends through clearance holes in the cam blocks with each of the cam blocks having a nut and associated coil spring, positioned around the rod, on one side of the cam block for moving it in a direction to tension the plate and a nut spaced on the opposite side for moving the cam block in a direction to release the plate upon reciprocating the rod between alternate positions and with the rod being free to move radially with the rise and fall of the cam blocks.
  • a threaded actuating rod 60 which extends through openings formed in the end walls 38 of the cam blocks.
  • each cam block has an associated nut 61 and coil spring 62, with the spring being preferably recessed in the hollow of the block.
  • a nut 63 is provided for moving the block in the plate releasing direction. These nuts may be rotated for purposes of axial adjustment when the assembly is removed from the groove 30 for adjustment to accommodate various plate widths. but the nuts are dimensioned to engage the walls 3 1 32of the groove to preventariy change in adjustment after the assembly is installed. While separate nuts serve to move a given cam block in its opposite directions, the nuts between adjacent cam blocks may, as shown. do double duty.
  • Means are provided for manually moving the actuating rod between its alternate positions while accommodating the rise and fall of the rod with the cam blocks.
  • an actuator block 70 is provided at the end of the actuating rod having a radially extending slot 71, which is engaged by a crank pin 72 secured to a rotating socket 73 which is engageable by a manual operator in the form of an allen type wrench 74.
  • a plunger pin 75 is provided in rotating socket 73 to prevent the removal of the wrench 74 when the lockup is in any but the locked position. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the plunger pin may also be controllingly coupled to the press control circuits (not shown) in such a way as to prevent operation of the press until the wrench is removed from the socket.
  • a series of rotating plate lifters are used for lifting the tensioned edge of the plate clear of the cylinder automatically when the actuating rod 60 is moved in the plate lifting direction. Moving the actuating rod in the appropriate direction causes the plate lifter to rotate into disengaged position as the plate is secured.
  • a series of rotatable plate lifters 80 each having a pinion 81 engaged by a longitudinally extending rack member 82.
  • the block is provided with a pin 83. The latter is received in a radially extending slot 84 for the purpose of accommodating the rise and fall of the actuating rod.
  • the wrench 74 is thrown through 180 of arc causing advancement of the nuts 61, compression of the coil spring 62, and simultaneous axial movement of the cam blocks in the right-hand or clamping direction.
  • the cam blocks are cammed upwardly.
  • the cam blocks then move across fiat plateau surfaces 53, 54.
  • the relative movement at the angled way surfaces 57, 58 causes the finger blocks to be simultaneously elevated and moved forward and then moved chordwise to advance the fingers 22 into the pockets of the plate.
  • the coil springs 62 are highly compressed as shown in FIG. 6a to place the plate under tension, but with sufficient travel remaining to accommodate register adjustments.
  • crank pin moves to a centered or toggled position thus blocking return movement of the actuating rod. Any settling of the plate during the first few revolutions of the press, or any elongation of the plate during a sustained run results in immediate takeup movement of the fingers by reason of the energy stored in the springs so that the plate is kept under sustained tension.
  • the angling of the way surfaces 57, 58 is preferably sufficiently shallow so that the chordwise movement of the finger blocks is nonretrograde.
  • the fact that the crank pin 72 is received in an approximately vertical cam slot 71 in the actuator block permits the actuating rod 60 to move bodily in the radial direction without affecting the operation of the crank.
  • a narrow groove which is formed at the other side of wider groove 130 and having parallel walls 91, 92 and a flat bottom surface 93.
  • registering finger blocks 95 Spaced end to end within the groove 90 are registering finger blocks 95, each of which carries a pair of registering fingers 21.
  • the finger block 95 is maintained in its seated position in the groove by means of a cover plate 96 having apertures 97 which are alined with corresponding pockets in the registering edge of the plate.
  • the finger blocks 95 are made slightly narrower than the groove 90 in which they are received, and an adjusting screw is provided in each of the finger blocks, and bearing against the wall of the groove, for a small amount of circumferential adjustment.
  • the finger blocks 95 are freely slidable in the groove 90 to permit alinement of the fingers 21 with the apertures, a rack being provided for simultaneously engaging pinions on each of the adjusting screws permitting register adjustment regardless of the axial positioning of the finger blocks.
  • the finger block 95 has an adjusting screw 100 which is received in a -hole 101 centrally threaded in the block.
  • the screw has a thrust plate 102 at one end and a pinion 103 at the other, the pinion being locked to the screw by means of a nut 104.
  • a longitudinally extending rack 105 is provided which is received in axially extending recess 106.
  • the rack is positioned by means of an adjusting pinion 107 at the end of the cylinder having a shaft 108 which is engageable by a suitable wrench and having a dial 109 which is calibrated in terms of circumferential shift.
  • a second rack Seated in the same longitudinally extending recess 106 is a second rack which is used to adjust the register of the ad jacent or in this case the inner, plate, this rack being positioned by a pinion 117 having a shaft 118 and calibrated indicating dial 119.
  • the finger blocks 95 being narrower than the groove in which they are received, and having an adjusting screw projecting from the center thereof, are free to adopt a skewed position within the exaggerated limits indicated at 121, 122, thereby enabling the finger block to accommodate itself to small amounts of nonalinement between adjacent pockets at the registering edge of the plate. This balances the forces applied by the adjacent fingers 21 and avoids the setting up of localized stress.
  • the finger block may be recessed, as shown in FIG. 5, for reception of small coil-type expansion springs 123, 124 which exert a reaction force against the wall 92 of the groove.
  • the racks 105, 115 When installing a plate, the racks 105, 115 are moved in a direction to move the finger blocks 95 backward through the limited available distance. The plates are hooked over the registering fingers 21, following which the racks 105, 115 are adjusted to establish an initial condition of register. Following this the wrench 74 at the tensioning edge of the plate is thrown to extend and engage the fingers 22 with their respective pockets as has been previously described.
  • a cylinder 20 has a shallow groove formed therein having undercut lateral edges 131, 132 defining side ledges 133, 134, which are alined with a central ridgell35.
  • the cover member 42 has a tapered edge 137 while the cover member 96 has a, tapered edge 138, which are inserted into the undercut regions as shown in FIG. 12.
  • a retaining wedge block 140 having tapered surfaces 141, 142 is placed between them, the wedge block being clampingly secured by a series of retaining screws MS received in tapped holes 146 in the central ridge. It will be apparent that when the wedge block is clamped in place, the tapered surfaces thereon urge the cover plates into their seated positions on the side ledges, the entire cover assembly being securely fastened by only a limited number of screws 145 to permit quick and easy disassembly.
  • the present cylinder and lockup may be used almost universally for pocketed type printing plates having different spacing between adjacent pockets, different spacing between the pockets engaging adjacent plates, and different spacing between the first pocket and the end of the cylinder.
  • Such ad justment is facilitated by making the riser cams adjustably positionable in the groove at the tensioning edge of the plate and by substitution of cover plates having apertures spaced to correspond with the pocket spacing of the new plate.
  • cover plates having a pair of apertures, may be used but the spacing between them may be changed by interposing a suitable cover plate spacer.
  • the means for adjusting the position of the riser cam in the bottom of its groove may be that shown in FIG.
  • the cover plate structure may be removed.
  • the finger blocks 95 at the registering edge may be simply lifted a slight distance to disengage the rack and moved along the groove to a new position in which the fingers 2ll register with the pockets of the plate of new width.
  • the assembly consisting of the series of cam blocks 3&3, the finger blocks 40, and the actuator rod 60 is removed from the groove which permits the nuts 61, 63 to be rotated into new positions as required to move the cam blocks 35, and the fingers which they control, into registering with the pockets in the new plate.
  • the new positional settings of the nuts 61, 63 may be obtained from a prepared table of distances supplied to the press mechanic.
  • the cam block assembly may be reinstalled in the groove 30, with the nuts 61, 63, upon reassembly, being registered with the groove so that there is no possibility of a change in the nut adjustment.
  • the cover plates 42, 96, with appropriately spaced apertures, and either with or without spacers 155, are reinstalled with the fingers extending through the apertures and with the entire assembly being clamped together by means of the clamping screws 145.
