WEMTEUAPR 23 m4 miEi 2 [IF 4 ,PMFWEHAPR 23 1974 3'8 700 SHEET 3 OF 4 DAMPING DEVICE FOR ROTARY OFFSET PRINTING MACHINE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a general object of this invention to provide means whereby the plate cylinder can be copiously washed and totally wetted before printing recommences.
It is a further object of this invention to adapt a damping device which is used during printing to dampen the plate cylinder to the task of washing the cylinder before recommencement of printing.
Accordingly, a damping device for the plate cylinder of an offset rotary press comprises a trough containing a damping medium, a damping or transfer roller having a surface of a hard hydrophilic material and immersed by its lower part in the medium and in contact with a drying device, a form roller having a surface layer of supple material and tangential both to the transfer roller and to the plate cylinder, the damping device being mounted on a frame movable vertically on the frame of the machine, said frame also bearing an inking device comprising inking rollers tangential to the form roller the device being characterised by the fact that the shaft of the form roller is borne by two parallel lateral levers pivotally mounted on the shaft of thetransfer roller, and that means are provided for the control of the pivoting movement of the two levers when the inking device is displaced into its upper position, i.e., occupies the pressure release position, in such a way as to move the form roller downwards so that the said roller by itself comes in contact with the plate cylinder in order to effect the ample washing of this latter before the inking operation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The offset rotary press, of which a partial schematic, diagram is shown in FIG. l,'comprises a plate or engraved cylinder I mounted to rotate about a horizontal axis in a fixed vertical frame 2. The printing machine also comprises a conventional inking device 3, consisting of a plurality of inking rollers and drums rotatably mounted on a frame 4 which is movable vertically on the fixed frame 2. The inking rollers are tangential to one another, in order to convey the ink to the plate cyl- 2 inder 1. The inking device 3 comprises, in particular, a roll termed an inking drum or ink table 5 having a surface made of a hard material and tangential to an inking roller 6 in contact with the cylinder 1.
The rotary press also comprises a damping device indicated generally at 7 and consisting essentially of a trough 9 containing a damping medium 11, usually water, which is continuously pumped in a closed circuit in order to filter it. The lower part of a damping or transfer roller 12, with a hard surface layer of hydrophilic material such as chromium, is immersed in the damping medium 1l.'This roller 12 is drivable in a counterclockwise direction on a horizontal and transversely extending shaft 13 by means of a motor and a gear train not shown in the drawing. The right-hand part of the roller 12 is in contact with a metering or squeeze roller 14 which is kept motionless or caused to rotate in a clockwise direction at a very low speed, between one tenth and one hundredth of the speed of rotation of the roller 12 and presses against the roller 12 to squeeze excess damping medium therefrom.
The left-hand part of the roller 12 is tangential to a form roller 15 having a surface layer of supple or flexible resilient material and itself tangential both to the plate cylinder 1 and to the ink table 5, when the inking device is in its lower or pressure applied' position, i.e., that in which the inking and form rollers are applied under pressure to the plate cylinder 1.
When the printing press is in'operation, the peripheral surface of the form roller 15 is thus fed with ink by the ink table 5 and with water by the roller 12, the form roller depositing the mixture of ink and water on the surface of the plate cylinder 1.
In accordance with the invention, the shaft'16 of the form roller 15 is mounted in such a way as to rotate in two cradles 17 provided on the left-hand ends of two lateral and longitudinal levers 18. The shaft 16 is held in the cradles 17 by wedges l9 fixed in position by means of screws 21.
The two levers 18 are mounted pivotally on the shaft 13 of the roller 12. Each pivotal lever 18 has a bifurcated right-hand end forming a central notch 22 accommodating a cam 23. The latter is integral with a transversely extending shaft 24 of which the end is integral with a pinion 25. The pinion 25 meshes with a vertical rack 26 integral with the piston rod 27 of a hydraulic cylinder 28 disposed with its longitudinal axis extending in a vertical direction. The device described above operates as follows: when the offset printing press comes to a stop, the frame 4 bearing the inking device 3 and the damping device 7 is moved upwards in order to separate the inking rollers such as 6 and the form roller 15 from the plate cylinder 1.
When a further printing operation must take place, the plate cylinder has to be copiously washed before being re-inked. For this purpose, the hydraulic cylinder 28 is actuated such as to cause its piston rod 27 and the rack 26 to slide vertically. Such displacement of the rack causes the pinion 25 to rotate, which rotation is transmitted to the shaft 24 and to the two earns 23. The rotation of the.cams 23 in the notches 22 of the two levers 18 results in counterclockwise pivotal movement of the levers 18 about the shaft 13. The form roller 15 is thereby moved downwards and thus away from the ink table 5, which is held in the higher or pressure release position by the frame 4. The form roller engages the peripheral surface of the plate cylinder 1, the two inking rollers 6 being kept at a distance from the cylinder 1. Furthermore, in the course of the pivoting movement of the two levers 18 about the shaft 13, the form roller 15 remains in continuous contact with the roller 12.
The roller 12 supplies the periphery of the form roller 15 with a film or water, which is then transferred by this latter roller to the plate cylinder 1, whereby the latter is copiously washed for a period of time decided by the machine operator.
When the operator considers that the cylinder has been washed sufficiently, he causes the movable frame 4, bearing the inking device 3 and the damping device 7, to move downwards, the feed movement imparted to the cylinder 28 being reversed at the same time. As the form roller 15 is still in contact with the plate cylinder 1 and with the roller 12, the descent of the swivel shaft 13, itself brought about by the downward movement of the frame 4, takes effect in a pivotal movement of the two levers 18 relative to the frame 4. At the end of the descent of the frame 4, the two inking rollers 6 come in contact with the periphery of the plate cylinder 1, and the ink table 5 comes in contact with the form roller the printing process can then take place in the normal manner.
FlG.'4 depicts the nonprintingstage wherein the inking rollers 6 and the form roller 15 are disengaged from the plate cylinder 1 and the movable frame 4 is in its upper position. FIG. 5 shows the movable frame 4 in its upper position'and shows the levers l8 pivoted in a counterclockwise direction by the actuator 28 so that the form roller 15 engages with the plate cylinder 1 and this corresponds to the washing stage. FIG. 6 shows the printing stage wherein the movable frame 4 is in its lower position thereby moving the inking rollers 6 into contact with the plate cylinder 1 and moving the inking drum 5 into contact with the form roller 15. It should be noted that during the downward movement of the frame 4, the levers 18 are automatically pivoted to their initial position-shown in FIG. 4 since the form roller 15 is in engagement with the plate cylinder 1 and thus downward movement of the frame effects pivotal movement of the levers. it is to be-understood that the embodiment described above is offered purely by way of example and may be modified in many ways within the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, for example, intermediate rollers may be interposed between the form and transfer rollers and the form roller may pivot about the axis of such an intermediate roller so as to maintain contact therewith. Instead of pivoting on the shaft 13, the levers 18 may pivot on fixed stub members co-axial therewith. Also, the lever may be in the form of a fork, the limbs of which pivot on the shaft while the single body part of which is formed with slot 22.
