Definitions

  • the numbering shaft is usually equipped with the individual numbering units outside the machine.
  • the entire numbering station must therefore be removed from the machine, or the numbering shaft is re-equipped or preset in the machine, which usually means a longer machine stand.
  • the numbering shaft and numbering inking unit can therefore usually be removed from the machine separately from one another (DE-PS 22 21 343).
  • Special check printing machines are known in which the numbering station already consists of two numbering shafts which are alternately in the working position in the machine or in the presetting position in front of the machine.
  • the two shafts are each supported with a journal on a common support arm, the support of this support arm being fixed to the machine frame in the middle thereof on a horizontal bearing axis which can be rotated on at least one side wall of the machine and can be pulled out of it to a certain extent is.
  • the two shafts are pulled together from the side of the machine frame and, rotated through 180 °, reinstalled (US Pat. No. 3,728,960).
  • a comparable procedure can also be found in machine tool construction for changing the tools with their holders.
  • the object of the present invention to create a device for exchanging numbering and printing devices, in which the second numbering shaft intended for presetting is located at a suitable presetting location outside the operating and observation area of the machine units.
  • FIG. 1 shows a single-color sheet-fed rotary printing press 1 in a schematic representation with a built-in numbering and impression device 2.
  • the sheet 4, which is separated from the stack 3, is fed into the gap between the blanket cylinder 5 and the impression cylinder 6 via a feed device, not shown, where the printing of the printed image he follows.
  • the rubber cylinder 5 becomes the printed image transferred from a plate cylinder 7, to which a dampening unit 8 and an inking unit 9 are assigned.
  • the swiveling device 20 for exchanging the numbering and indenting device 2 consists of two L-shaped angled lever arms 21, 22 provided with handles 39, each of which has a fork-shaped opening 23 in its front area for receiving axles 24 on both sides of the numbering shaft 35 of the numbering and have imprinting device 2.
  • the lever arms 21, 22 are attached to a tubular cross member 27 with the interposition of a web 25 and another arm 26. This tubular traverse 27 is guided on a corresponding shaft-like slide guide 28, which also runs parallel to the numbering shaft axis 70, the latter being mounted on bearing stands 30 of a base plate 31 arranged at the ends.
  • the slide guide 28 or the base plate 31 fastened to the front machine frame 34 is dimensioned in such a length that there is space for three swivel devices 20 each provided with numbering and impression devices 2. In fact, however, only two swivel devices 20 are arranged thereon, which e.g. can have a mirror-image construction.
  • the pivoting device 20 or its lever arms 21, 22 remain in the pivoted-in state during the machine run.
  • Their fork-shaped openings 23, which are made in one piece or in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, have no contact with the axle journals 24 of the numbering shaft 33 during the machine run.
  • the inner radius of these fork-shaped openings 23 is dimensioned such that even in the various eccentric positions "pressure on” and “pressure off” there is no contact with the correspondingly mounted numbering shaft 35.
  • the collet force results from a compression spring 47, which is guided in a bore 48 of the lever arms 21, 22, and presses against a lower stop 49 of the gripping arm 41.
  • FIG. 4 now shows the mounting of the axle journals 24 of the numbering shaft 35 in the printing press 1.
  • half-shells 51 which are pivotably attached to the side walls 37, 38 and into which the axle journals 24 are inserted are provided. These each have a flattened area 52 and a bore 53 in the area of their storage on.
  • a clamping jaw 54 closes off the half-shell 51 in such a way that a clamping screw 56 is guided through a bore 55 of the clamping jaw 54 and through the corresponding bore 53 of the axle journal 24 and is screwed into a thread 57 introduced in the lower region of the half-shell 51.
  • a bayonet lock would also be conceivable, for example.
  • a washer 58 and a compression spring 59 resting thereon and on an extension 50 of the clamping jaw 54 serve to correspondingly support the clamping screw 56 forming a unit with the clamping jaw 54.
  • Figure 5 now shows a further embodiment of the swivel device 60. It is designed such that after the numbering and impression device 2 has been brought into its working position in the printing machine 1 and locked in the half-shell bearing, the swivel device 60 is released again the machine can be swung out.
  • each lever 61, 62 consisting of two articulated legs are provided.
  • Each lower leg 62 is connected to a tubular cross member 63 which is guided in the slide guide 28 in accordance with the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
  • Sliding guides arranged in the tubular traverse 63.
  • stanchions 64 ensure exact guidance.
  • the two legs 61, 62 are rotatably connected to one another by the axis 65 at the pivot point 66.
  • each leg 61 has a further bearing point 67 for a further axis 68. Due to a link guide 71 in this area of each lower leg 62, both can be pivoted relative to each other by a certain amount.
  • the fork-shaped opening 23 of the upper leg 61 which can be formed in one or two parts according to FIG. 4, can be moved downward out of the numbering shaft area and then the entire pivoting device 60 can be pivoted outwards, as is indicated by the dashed lines.
  • both legs 61, 62 are rotatably connected to each other by index sleeves 72 according to Figure 6.
  • the index sleeves 72 which are movable in the longitudinal direction on the axis 68, snap resiliently into index bores 73 of each lower leg 62.
  • the latching movement is supported by stops 74, each fastened on the axis 68, on which pressure springs 75 are supported.
  • FIG. 7 shows a last variant of the swivel device 76, with which the numbering and impression device 2 can also be exchanged without swiveling the inking unit 10 away.
  • the embodiment corresponds essentially to that according to FIGS. 5 and 6. Only the front extension 77 of the lower leg 78 is somewhat lengthened so that the pivot 79 with the upper leg 80, which is provided with a one-piece or two-piece fork-shaped opening 23, for the desired purpose creates more favorable lever arm ratios.
  • the link guide 81 is also slightly extended, thereby increasing the swivel range between the two legs 78, 80.
  • a gas pressure spring 84 is arranged at the articulation points 82, 83, of the legs 78, 80. This serves to support the swivel movement carried out manually by the machine operator via the index sleeves 72.
  • the inking unit 10 can be brought into one of the storage positions 18, 19 already shown, if unimpeded access, for example to the printing unit 5, 6 of the printing press 1, is required for the purpose of setting or assembly work.
  • the half-shell mounting according to FIG. 4 is not shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 for the sake of clarity. 3, the arrangement of the opening curve 45 must be adapted to the movement conditions of the swivel devices 60, 76 (FIG. 5, 7).
  • a possibility that is not further elaborated in the figures would, for example, also be to use the swiveling device 76 for the numbering and impression device 2 also for moving (swiveling) the inking unit 10 assigned to it, in order to do this, like the numbering and impression device 2 from the printing press 1 to get out and to store it while carrying out the above-mentioned setting or assembly work on a swivel device 76 laterally displaced via the slide guide 28.
  • the pivot mechanism 15 could be omitted.
