DEVICE FOR LOCKING UP FLEXIBLE PRINTING PLATES ON FORD/IE CYLINDERS OF PRINTING PRESSES THE PRIOR ART Devices of this kind have already become known.
In the German Patent Specification No. 1,178,442 a device is described in which the spring fastener consists in a leaf spring 260 with a curve-like part 26a. It seems, however, that the plate end is not guided in a sufficiently rigid and precise manner.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the object of the present invention to create a device by which the position of the printing plate ends is fixed exactly, by means of which the printing plate can be adjusted in circumferential register, and which requires only a small blank space and flat channels, so that the cylinder is reduced only a little bit.
According to the present invention, this object has been solved in such a manner that the first end of the printing plate is capable of being fastened to a first locking plate capable of swinging on a first hinge and that the other fastener consists of a second locking plate capable of swinging on a second hinge.
In a further development of the invention it is suggested that the locking plates be supported in hinge joints.
An embodiment of the invention is diagrammatically illustrated, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross section of the device, the plate being fixed in position,
FIG. 2 is a cross section in released position,
FIG. 3 is a section of III III in FIG. 4, and
FIG. 4 is a plan view on a reduced scale.
Into a forme cylinder 1 an axially extending cylinder groove 2 is provided in which a device for locking up a flexible printing plate 3 is fastened.
The said device consists among other parts in a locking plate 4, which extends over the width of the printing plate 3 and has at its one end some lock up hooks 5. These lock up hooks 5 are received in holes 6 in the printing plate 3. The other end of the locking plate 4 is forming, together with a semicircular formed end of a hinge plate 9, a hinge 7 on which it is capable of swinging. By pressure applied by a leaf spring 8 the locking plate dis swung into a position in which the printing plate 3 is fixed. By means of screws threadedly received in apertures at the bottom of groove 2 in forme cylinder 1 a hold down bar 21 through which the screws extend holds the hinge plate 9 down on the lower end of leaf spring 8 at the bottom of groove 2. The hold down bar It) extends substantially the length of each locking plate. The hinge plate 9 has a semicircular portion 11 at its other end so as to form with the lower end of another locking plate 13 a hinge joint 12. The locking plate 13 ends on the other end in fixing hooks 14 to which the first end of the printing plate 3 is hung by means of holes 6 formed therein as in the other end of the printing plate 3.
The locking plate 13 is pressed by a spring 16 received in a transversely extending recess in bar 21 to a first border or abutment 2.1 in the adjacent wall portion of the cylinder groove 2. In this position it rides against a cam 17 on a longitudinal shaft 18. By rotating the longitudinal shaft 18 or the cam 17 respectively the locking plate 13 is swung around the hinge 12, and thus the printing plate 3 is shifted in circumferential direction contrary to the effect of the spring 16.
A half-side milled longitudinal shaft 19 is received in a longitudinal recess in bar 21 with the half-side parallel to locking plate 4. By rotation of the shaft 19 the locking plate 4 is moved contrary to the effect of the spring 8 until it fits against a second border or abutment 2.2 in the upper portion of the side wall of the cylinder groove 2. In this position the plate 3 can be hung easily into the fixing hooks 5. For the purpose ofinserting the printing plate 3, the cam 17 of the registering device can be set to zero position (see FIG. 2).
FIG. 3 shows a section III III of the device. The longitudinal shaft 18 ends in a hexagon 22 and the longitudinal shaft 19 in a hexagon 23. The longitudinal shaft 19 is supported in the bar 21 in which also the spring 16 is positioned.
In FIG. 4 a plan view is shown, from which is to be seen that the hexagons 22, 23- are accessible by means of notches 24, 25 which are milled into the forme cylinder 1 in circumferential direction.
The device enables the disposition of as many lock up devices as required over the width of a cylinder, because actuation by the hexagons 22, 23 can be realized close to the printing plate and the hexagons 22, 23 are disposed in the area of the blank white margin.
The plate ends are guided precisely by the locking plate 4, 13. The forces having an effect on the longitudinal shafts l8, 19 are absorbed over the whole length of the shafts by the support in the cylinder 1 or in the bar 21 respectively.
