Definitions

  • a sheet delivered from the feeder is caught by the gripper bars of a first transfer cylinder.
  • the sheet is folded around the transfer cylinder and carried to the grippers on the first impression cylinder where the grippers of the transfer cylinder release the paper and it is caught by the grippers of the impression cylinder.
  • the grippers on the impression cylinder rotate the paper into contact with the blanket cylinder where printing is accomplished in one color on one side of the sheet.
  • grippers on a second transfer cylinder grasp the sheet, causing the printed surface to he in contact with the transfer cylinder while it is rotated to the grippers of a second impression cylinder.
  • the grippers of the second transfer cylinder release the sheet as it is caught by the grippers of the second impression cylinder which rotates the sheet into contact with a second blanket where a second color is applied to the same side of the sheet.
  • Grippers on a third transfer roller catch the sheet as it is released by the grippers of the second impression cylinder and the printed surface is again brought into contact with a transfer cylinder while it is being delivered to the grippers of a third impression cylinder. This process is continued until the sheet passes to delivery.
  • the press is replated, the sheets are turned and refed through the press to print the other side of the sheet.
  • Chains have been used in the past with limited success to transfer sheets from one printing station to another.
  • Grippers supported by the chain have to be positively indexed to the printing station cylinders before sheet transfer can be accomplished with any degree of register between stations.
  • a chain has inherent limitations as a smooth transfer media because chordal motion of the links limit smooth flow; linear deformation of the chain results from numerous pivot joints; lubrication requirements at joints, to help prevent wear, noise, shock and vibration, present maintenance problems.
  • the gripper and chain transfer media could not, by itself, register the sheet between printing stations, even with the chain travelling precisely at cylinder speeds.
  • grippers had to be loosely supported on the chain, moved from normal position, and indexed to printing station cylinders prior to actual sheet transfer at the cylinder.
  • the gripper jumped or jerked back into its normal relation with the chain.
  • Typical four-color one-side printing presses have an average of about 20 cylinders including the plate cylinders, blanket cylinders, impression cylinders, transfer cylinders and skeleton wheels.
  • Sheet-fed printing presses heretofore used have relatively low production speeds which never exceed 8,000 impressions per hour.
  • All sheet-fed presses heretofore used have basically the same complex ink fountain with keys to vary the ink flow and an ink train consisting on an average of about twenty rollers for smoothing and distributing the ink to the plate cylinder.
  • a universal characteristic of sheet-fed printing presses heretofore used has been the employment of massive bearers on each end of the plate and blanket cylinders to assure rotation of the cylinders without vibration when the cylinder load is reduced because of gaps in the cylinders.
  • the use of bearers has been necessitated by limitations of bearings heretofore incorporated into the design of presses for journaling the cylinders.
  • the problems for the sheet-fed printer are not being readily solved by "updating and face-lifting" of the old concepts of printing, the only apparent alternative has been to switch to web-offset lithography.
  • the printer can print several colors on two sides of the sheet at the same time with increased production.
  • the web-press is superior to the sheet-fed press in specific situations because higher production rates and lower break-even points are possible.
  • a web-offset press is limited to one sheet length equal to the circumference of the plate cylinder. When shorter sheet lengths are required excessive waste results from non-use of the unprinted web portion.
  • Another complete press system must be designed, manufactured, purchased and used for printing different sheet sizes to avoid excessive waste of paper.
  • Web presses are generally more expensive because of complex folders, dryers, chill devices, etc., necessary. More time is usually required for make-ready and more waste is encountered since the web must be running through the press and desirably at production speeds while registering and while color correction changes are being made because it is difficult to compensate for wind-up of the drive system when the press is stopped. Crews trained for printing on sheet-fed equipment find that they must learn new skills when using web equipment.
  • I have developed a sheet-fed printing press which incorporates a straight through and continuous sheet transfer principle similar to the feeding style of a web press whereby the sheet is grasped by a gripper bar after being delivered to the sheet transfer mechanism by a conventional feeder and the sheet is directed in an uninterrupted horizontal plane straight to and through one or a plurality of printing towers where printing is accomplished selectively on one side; or, on both sides of the sheet at the same instant, or any combination thereof in any desired number of colors.
  • This also eliminates the necessity for numerous cylinders, constantly gripping and releasing the sheet as has been required heretofore.
  • Eliminating the complex ink fountain used on conventional presses, l have developed a press with a novel ink fountain, having a rigid doctor blade and a minimum number of rollers in the ink train for applying ink to the plate cylinder.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a sheet-fed press in which the sheet is continuously gripped by a single set of grippers from the time the sheet enters the press until delivery, offering the ultimate in register for multi-color printmg.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a printing press in which the sheet is grasped at the leading edge by a set of grippers and aerodynamically supported and directed to and through one or more printing towers.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a sheet-fed printing press which may be used as a perfector to print any desired number of colors on both sides of the sheet, eliminating the need for a second pass through the press.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a sheet transfer system capable of gripping and registering two sheets simultaneously in a single set of grippers to move the sheets through perfecting printing towers to print on one side of each sheet.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a printing press in which the only cylinders which touch the paper are the blanket printing cylinders, thereby eliminating all costly transfer cylinders, impression cylinders, skeleton wheels, and related complex gripper mechanisms commonly used in sheetfed presses.
  • a further object of the present invention is to eliminate marking caused by the offsetting of wet ink on sheets exposed to transfer cylinders and subsequent ofi'setting of the ink to subsequent sheets.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a sheetfed printing press having a sheet gripping mechanism carried by an endless flexible conveyor having an in-line feeder and delivery, allowing fast but accurate control of the speed of the paper through the press.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a sheetfed printing press in which the sheet travels through the path of least resistance thereby utilizing natural phenomena such as the cantilever effect on the sheet as it is grasped in the nip between the blanket cylinders, causing the sheet to lie tangent to the blanket cylinders due to its modulus of elasticity and also phenomena involving boundary layers of air and air pressure at the nip between opposing blanket cylinders.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a printing press having a simplified continuous inking and dampening system, eliminating problems relating to ink-water balance, emulsification, ghosting, one turn roller streaks and hickies".
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a printing press having a novel plate cylinder having a printing plate covering approximately one-half of the circumference thereof and an ink receptive recovery plate covering substantially the other half thereof associated with the ink train, allowing recovery time for redistribution of the ink on the form rollers of the ink train to eliminate ghosting.
  • Another object is to provide a printing press having an ink fountain which does not supply an overabundance of ink to the inking form rollers while the form rollers are in the plate cylinder gap, thereby eliminating one turn roller streak.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a printing press having an ink fountain utilizing a rigid doctor blade in contact with a resilient roller wherein the thickness of the ink film to be applied may be metered continuously and applied at a controlled, uniform rate in regulated quantities as demanded by the printing layout.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a sheetfed printing press which may serve as a perfector in which printing is achieved on both sides of the sheet at precisely the same moment as the sheet is drawn between adjacent blanket cylinders and touches the cylinders only at the printing nip.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a sheetfed printing press in which each blanket cylinder serves the dual purpose of a blanket cylinder for offsetting ink to the sheet and simultaneously as an impression cylinder for the blanket which is offsetting ink to the opposite side of the sheet.

  • Conventional leveling devices such as jack screws (not shown) may be utilized for tower leveling.
  • a delivery mechanism 22 grips the individual sheets 5 as they are released by gripper bars 8 of the sheet transfer mechanism 10 and positions the sheets by conventional means in a stack of printed sheets 24.
  • each printing tower l8 and 20 has a side frame 26 on the operator side and side frame 28 on the drive side of the printing press joined by tie bars 30 forming a strong rigid structure upon which various components of the press are mounted.
  • Feeder 2 and delivery 22 have operator-side side frames 2a and 22a and drive-side side frames 2b and 22b respectively.
  • Structural ties 31 join the side frames of individual towers 18 and 20 and side frames of the feeder 2 and delivery 22.
  • Primary inkers 32 and secondary inkers 34 cooperate with dampeners 36 to provide a proper balance of ink and dampening fluid to the plate cylinders 38, which are duplicated at the upper and lower ends of the tower.
  • PLATE CYLINDER Plate cylinders 38 are rotatably journaled at opposite ends thereof in side frames 26 and 28 in bearings 27 and 29. It should be noted that plate cylinders 38 differ from conventional plate cylinders in two very important aspects.

  • Printing plate 40 wraps around substantially one-half of the circumference of plate cylinder 38.
  • Plate 40 is detachably secured to plate cylinder 38 by conventional plate clamps 42 conventionally positioned in gap 39.
  • An ink pad 44 is mounted in a similar manner as plate 40 and covers substantially the remaining circumference of plate cylinder 38.
  • Ink pad 44 is an ink receptive plate having an effective diameter slightly greater than that of the effective diameter of the plate 40.
  • ink is distributed over ink pad 44 by primary inker 32 and the ink is spread over the form rollers of the secondary inker 34 from pad 44, while plate 40 does not contact rollers of the primary inker but receives ink only from the form rollers of the secondary inker.
  • Utilization of the ink pad 44 allows great simplification of the conventional ink train, while overcoming ghosting problems often encountered by lithographers using conventional inking systems. Since plate 40 does not cover the substantial circumference of plate cylinder 38, form rollers in the ink fountain have sufiicient time to recover, eliminating ghosting as will be hereinafter described.
  • Bearers have been universally used on plate cylinders and blanket cylinders to prevent vibration when cutaway portions of the plate cylinder and blanket cylinder come into rolling contact.
  • Plate cylinder 38 has reduced diameters at opposite ends thereof, forming journals 38a and 38b which are supported by bearings 27 and 29 respectively in the side frames 26 and 28.
  • One end 380 of plate cylinder 38 is captured by the lateral register adjustment 58, as will be hereinafter explained, while the other end 38b is free to slide axially through bearing 29. This construction provides automatic compensation for ther mal expansion of plate cylinder 38.

  • blanket 50 is detachably secured to blanket cylinder 48 by conventional blanket clamps 52 and is of substantially the same length as plate 40, thereby covering the same proportion of the circumference of blanket cylinder 48 as plate 40 covers on plate cylinder 38 which is equal in diameter to blanket cylinder 48.
  • Each blanket cylinder 48 has a recessed area 54 on the outer surface, providing clearance for the ink pad 44 on plate cylinder 38 to prevent contact between the blanket cylinder 48 and the ink pad 44.
  • blanket cylinders 48 do not have conventional bearers on each end thereof, but each blanket cylinder 4! has a journal 48a and 48b at opposite ends thereof supported in hydrostatic bearings 46 which will be described in detail hereinafter.

  • Tracks 224 and 226 and flexible conveyors 16a and 16b extend through openings between the cylinders formed by the reduced diameter areas.
  • Gripper bars 8 enter gaps 56 and conveyors 16a and 16b move freely along an unobstructed path between the printing cylinden 48 and 48L in non-engaging, non-driving relationship with the cylinders.
  • Each plate cylinder 38 has conventional lateral color registering adjustment mechanism 58, FIG. I and XI.
  • a suitable means for establishing and maintaining lateral register comprises a worm 58a and a worm gear 58b for driving a spur gear 580 which in turn meshes with gear teeth on a threaded adjustment screw 58d whereby rotation of the worm 580 will cause the threaded adjustment screw 58d to be moved laterally, thereby moving plate cylinder 38 laterally with respect to the side frames 26 and 28.
  • Adjusting screw 58d threadedly engages collar S8e, rigidly connected to the operator-side side frame 26 by bolts 58]".
  • Adjusting screw 58d has annular thrust bearing 58g mounted therein which is captured between shoulders 38c on cylinder 38 and plate 58h secured by bolts 58: to the end of plate cylinder journal 38a.
  • a throw-off mechanism is utilized to separate the blanket cylinders 48U and 48L from plate cylinders 38U and 381. respectively and to separate the upper blanket cylinder 48U from lower blanket cylinder 48L when the last sheet passes from the feeder or when a sheet 5 fails to feed.
  • a suitable mechanism FIGS. I and V, comprises a throw-off hydraulic cylinder 60 actuated by an electric eye or other suitable means (not shown), pivotally connected to a crank 62 wherein actuation of throw-off cylinder 60 causes crank 62, which is rigidly connected to cross shaft 64, to rotate shaft 64.
