  • Narrow slits 30 are provided in the FIG. illustrated segment of spring member 16 for the purpose of in-part defining and separating the different finger elements from each other.
  • each upstanding leg of a segment of spring member 16 is provided with a pair of finger elements 24 with one intermediate finger element 25.
  • An alternate spring member arrangement (not shown) includes a pair of end finger elements 25 with an intermediate finger element 24.
  • elements 24 may be alternated with elements 25 throughout the length of the restraining/tensioning spring member incorporated in the printing cylinder lockup assembly, although for symmetry and reversal reasons it is preferred that the end slots in each flange 12 be of the same type so that the same sequence of slots (and positioning stud openings) can be interchangeably used for either leading edge or trailing edge applications as in instances wherein printing cylinder is to be operated in an opposite rotational direction.
  • tabs 28 of finger elements 24 and inward turned flanges 29 of finger elements 25 are configured to present a radially upward sloped surface (from their line of origin in the upstanding finger element) to the lower edges of cooperating slots 13 and 14 in plate 11.
  • sloping tab and flange surfaces being engaged with the corresponding slots 13 and 14 in the flanges 12 of plate 11
  • counter clockwise movement of the leg elements and 21 in FIG. 1 serves to draw each flange 12 radially downwardly and toward the center of cylinder 10 to obtain a proper radial restraint of the plate leading and trailing edges.
  • recesses are provided in each edge of the lockup trough of printing cylinder 10 to receive those portions of tabs 28 that pass through slots 13.
  • the interior edges of flanges 26 on finger members 24 also normally sloped upwardly slightly to eliminate metal to metal interference when engaging the under surface of trailing edge flange 12 in the region where flange 12 is formed at essentially right angles to the principal surface of plate 11.
  • FIG. 6 provides an enlarged illustration of the leading edge of plate 11 properly radially restrained at flange 12 by a tab 28 and by a nose 27 which clamps the leading edge against the support face 32 of the cylinder.
  • 31 is a locating stud provided in face 32 for cooperation with a locating hole 15 to obtain proper lateral registration of the plate with the cylinder.
  • FIG. 7 provides an enlarged illustration of the trailing edge of printing plate 11 properly radially restrained at flange 12 by an upward sloping flange 29 of finger element 25 and tensioned by engagement with the edges of flanges 26 in lockup arrangement. As shown in FIG. 7, upwardly sloping flange 29 of finger 25 draws flange l2 radially toward the center of cylinder 10 producing a slight inward bend in the principal surface of plate 11 near the edge 32 of cylinder 10 when the lockup mechanism is actuated.
  • FIGS. 1 through 3 also illustrate the various operating conditions of restraining/tensioning spring member 16 as a result of different degrees of rotation of elongated bar cam 18 and connected shaft 19 comprising the lockup single actuator.
  • the right hand flatted portion of bar cam 18 has released one of the identical upstanding leg elements of spring member 16 from engagement with a lockup trough edge of cylinder 10 to permit installation of a flanged edge 12 of plate cylinder 11 at a plate leading edge.
  • the other upstanding leg element of spring member 16 is in engagement with the opposite lockup trough v edge of cylinder 10.
  • cam 18 and shaft 19 have been rotated counterclockwise to a position where both upstanding leg elements of spring member 16 are forcefully urged toward engagement with the opposing trough edges in the cylinder 10.
  • Such action properly secures the flanged edge 12 of printing plate 11 intended as a leading edge to the cylinder and permits insertion of the flange l2 intended as the plate trailing edge into the cylinder trough for subsequent radial restraint and tensioning.
  • cam 18 and shaft 19 have been rotated clockwise a sufficient degree whereby the upstanding leg of spring member 16 engaging the plate trailing edge has been brought into position by inherently present spring forces to properly radially restrain the trailing edge flange l2 and to simultaneously tension the entire plate.
  • the installed printing plate 11 is then ready for use in high speed printing by the rotary printing press printing cylinder.
  • the alternate printing cylinder embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 differs from the FIG. 1 through FIG. 3 arrangement primarily in that use is made of a pair of lockup actuators for actuating spring member 16 as distinguished from a single actuator.
  • printing cylinder 40 is provided with lockup actuator cams 41 and 42 that each are secured to one of longitudinal shafts 43 and 44.
  • Shaft 43 and its cooperating elongated cam 41 are journaled in support block 45 of printing cylinder 40.
  • the actuator combination comprised of elongated cam 42 and connected shaft 44 is installed in support block 46 located in the lockup trough or recess of printing cylinder 40 in the manner of block 45.
  • Restraining/tensioning spring member 16 in the FIG. 8 and 9 arrangement is preferably identical to the corresponding spring member in printing cylinder 10 except that it is secured to the printing cylinder 40 by means of conventional screw fasteners 47 and cooperating hold-down bar 48.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates printing cylinder 40 with the paired lockup actuators operated to a condition whereby both the leading edge and trailing edge flange 12 of printing plate 11 may be readily inserted in the lockup trough for subsequent proper engagement with the lockup subassembly.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates cams 41 and 42 each rotated counterclockwise to properly secure both the leading and trailing edges of plate 11 to printing cylinder 40.
  • the FIG. 8 and 9 printing cylinder construction differs from the FIG. 1 through 3 printing cylinder embodiment in that the tensioning forces applied to flexible plate 11 are developed only partly as a result of the inherent spring forces of spring member 16. Additionally, cam member 41 positively urges the cooperating upstanding leg element of spring member 16 into tensioning engagement with the printing plate trailing edge flange l2. inherent spring forces in spring member 16 only are utilized, however, to properly secure the flanged leading edge of printing cylinder 11 to printing cylinder 40.
  • a plate clamping arrangement for a reversible printing cylinder comprising, in combination, a flexible printing plate having flanged and slotted leading and trailing edges formed essentially at right angles to the plate principal surface, a longitudinal trough formed in the surface of said cylinder and defined in part by leading and trailing trough edges, a substantially U-shaped spring member mounted in said trough and extending longitudinally of said cylinder, said spring member having spaced apart, upstanding leg elements each having plate engaging finger elements at the free ends thereof, rotatable elongated cam means mounted in said trough intermediate said leg elements and operable to position the respective leg elements selectively in a printing plate leading edge clamping position wherein the said flanged and slotted leading edge of the plate is clamped between the finger elements and the said trough leading edge or in a printing plate trailing edge tensioning position wherein said finger elements engage the flanged and slotted trailing edge of said plate and bias it circumferentially away from said trough trailing edge, first means on each of
