Definitions

  • This invention relates to stereotype printing, and more particularly to a method and means for making stereotype printing plates used in the printing of tabloid news papers and for milling tension lock-up pockets in the underside of such printing plates.
  • the individual colors are printed in separate impressions and by plates prepared especially for a particular color.
  • Four colors are commonly used and they are individually printed successively on the moving web in newspaper presses, the last color usually being black.
  • the color plate must ,be'accurately positioned on the printing cylinder so that each color will register accurately with previously printed colors in order to produce a satisfactory reproduction. It is thus necessary for the printing cylinder to include means for adjusting the position of the plate relative to the cylinder so that it will register accurately with the previously printed colors.
  • the stereotype printing plate bearing the impression for the front hot news page of the newspaper, in the ordinary press also bears the impression to print the back page of the paper, copy for which may include an ad in a particular color.
  • the news content of the front page often must be changed for different editions, but in most instances from edition to edition the back page or at least the color portion remains the same. Therefore, when the news changes, the entire full size plate, including that portion of the plate which bears the impression to print the back page, will have to be replaced. This is wasteful in terms of material and labor cost.
  • tabloid newspapers may be printed more economically, for these wasteful practices are eliminated.
  • the major part of the tabloid newspaper may be printed in conventional fashion, with full size printing plates bearing the impression of two tabloid pages, those pages of the newspaper requiring change from edition to edition may be printed by means of individual tabloid size plates.
  • the plate is accurately located by means of the previously cut row of lock-up pockets, to insure that the new row of pockets is correctly positioned on the underside of the tabloid plate.
  • Another and a principal object of this invention is to provide apparatus for milling tension lock-up pockets in the underside of such individual tabloid size printing plates.
  • a more detailed and related object thereto is to provide plate locating mechanism for precisely and accurately positioning the plate during the milling operation.
  • the invention is concerned with the preparation of individual tabloid size printing plates by separating or sawing a full size plate in two, this fullsize plate having previously been processed to form rows of tension pockets in'the finished underside of the plate, thus leaving the individual plate with a single row of tension pockets adjacent one It is an object hereof to utilize this row of its edges.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of semi-cylindrical or full size stereotype printing plates
  • FIG. 3 is a'perspective view of a tabloid size stereotype printing plate
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a machine for milling tension lock-up pockets in stereotype printing plates
  • Fig. 5 is a section taken through the machine of Fi g. 4 illustrating this machine equipped with a locating mechanism for tabloid plates;
  • Figs. 6-9 are detail views illustrating this locating mechanism
  • Fig. 10 is a section taken through the machine of Fig. 4 illustrating this machine equipped with an alternative form of locating mechanism for tabloid plates;
  • Figs. 11-17 are detail views illustrating this alternative locating mechanism.
  • Figs. 18-21 are views illustrating a further alternative form of plate locating mechanism.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a full size, semi-cylindrical, stereotype printing plate 10.
  • This plate might be used, for example, in the printing of a full size newspaper page in one of the dailies printed in chined, insertable bodies 50, 51 carried within cavities or recesses 52, 53 formed in the saddle.
  • the bodies employed to support the fingers are made of a light metal and bolted in place as shown in Fig. 6, and in the present instance comprise U-shaped segments 54, 55 presenting surfaces 56, 57 conforming to the outer surface of the saddle and forming a portion of the same.
  • the hooks 42, 43 taper to a fine edge 60 and thus are shaped to neatly fit in the notched side wall 61 of the respective tension pocket. Opposite this edge. on what may be termed the back 62, the hook is formed with a flat area 63 arranged, when the finger is raised to operative position as shown in Fig. 6, to abut a meeting planar surface 64 formed in the insertable body on which the finger itself is mounted. The arrangement is such as to back up and rigidly or firmly hold the hook upright once it has been manually lifted to extend above the outer surface of the saddle.
  • the hooks 42, 43 are operated independently. To maintain each locating hook upright, or in the alternate position below the surface of the saddle, the hook is fashioned with a nose portion 65, 66 which bears against a fiat spring 67, 68 attached to the insertable body bolted in the saddle. 'The pressure of the spring is sufi'icient to hold the hook in either position while still permitting the hook to be shifted manually, and with reasonable ease, from one position to the other.
  • the single biasing finger 44 which faces-these hooks and engages the edge'of the plate at a point between them, applies spring pressure for holding the plate against the hooks.
  • the clamping mechanism with which the machine is equipped.
  • the clamps 29 expand into engagement with the plate and urge it against the saddle.
  • the single biasing finger 44 engaging the edge of the plate supplies means for holding the plate against movement while clamping is applied.
  • the biasing finger 44 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 70 which in turn is journalled inthe crown of the saddle.
  • a control handle 82 for turning the shaft 70 and raising and lowering the biasing finger 44 from operative to inoperative position is attached to one end of the shaft, outside of the saddle.
  • a torsion spring 71 surrounding the shaft and having one end 72 anchored thereto is employed.
  • the other end 73 of the spring is formed with a straight portion 74 parallel to the shaft so that it will bear against the back of the holding or biasing finger 44 when the shaft is rotated counterclockwise as shown in Fig. 9.
  • the biasing finger 44 is held on the shaft 71 between a collar 75 anda pin 76 extending part way through the shaft and it is freely rotatable to a limited extent on the shaft.
  • one end of the shaft is supported in the end wall 78 of the saddle, and the other end in a boss 79 formed in the saddle casting.
  • a locking handle 82 by means of which the shaft may be rotated and thus the biasing finger 44 raised and lowered from operative to inoperative position, is mounted on a pin 83 in the clevis. This locking handle is pivotally supported on the pin so that it may swing outwardly as viewed in Fig. 8.
  • the control handle is turned approximately 30 beyond the point at which the biasing finger engages the plate. tion of the handle corresponding to the initial engagement of the biasing finger 44 with the printing plate is approximately vertical, the solid line position of Fig. 9.
  • the down position (dotted) of the handle as shown in this figure and Fig. 16 corresponds approximately to that position of the handle when the biasing finger lies within the saddle.
  • the full line upright position of the handle 82. in Fig. 9 is that position the handle assumes to stress the torsion spring and upon reaching this latter position, the top of the handle is moved away from the saddle, as shown in the dotted position of Fig. 8, effecting engagement of the lower end of the control 'handle with a locking lug 86.
  • the friction between the parts, and the constant pressure exerted by the spring holds these parts in locked position.
  • control handle 82 To release the holding finger 44, as for example fol lowing the completion of a milling operation on a tabloid page size plate, the upper end of control handle 82 is pivoted towards the saddle to separate the lower end of the handle from engagement with the locking lug 86.
  • the control handle 82 and the shaft 7% are then free to rotate first under the urging of the torsion spring 71, and after the stress in the spring has been relieved, by turning the shaft further in a counterclockwise direction by means of the control handle to the down (dotted) position of Fig. 9.
  • the said further turning of the shaft causes pin 76 to engage segmental boss 84 and this carries finger 44 into retracted position.
  • the machine shown in Fig. 4 is provided with milling heads 23 (Fig. 5) located to mill tension lockup pockets in both edges of a full size plate supported on the saddle of the machine.
  • milling heads 23 Fig. 5
  • a row of tension pockets may be cut adjacent the newly sawed edge of this plate.
  • the actual milling of the pockets is carried out in a conventional fashion, using the milling head arrangement found on the machine.
  • the milling heads of this arrangement pivot into contact with the underside of the plate clamped on the saddle to mill the pockets, the distance between these pockets being precisely determined in relation to the previously milled row of pockets on the other edge of the plate.
  • the locating mechanism 40 in the crown of the saddle the locating mechanism 40 is arranged in such a way that the parts may be disposed in a position within the saddle so as not to interfere with a tension pocket milling operation carried out on a full size plate. Moreover, the mechanism components may be raised manually to an erect or upright position extending above the surface of the saddle to engage an individual tabloid size plate for locating the same on the saddle while a second row of tension pockets is formed adjacent the newly sawed edge of this plate.
  • a form for the locating hook and biasing finger arrangement shown in Figs. 5-9 is illustrated in Figs. 10-17.
  • the same general arrangement of locating hooks and biasing finger is employed for engagement within the tension lockup pockets adjacent the finished edge of the tabloid plate, and engaging the edge of the plate to insure that the hooks are properly seated within the ten SlOIl pockets and to prevent movement of the plate while clamping is applied.
  • the construction ofthe hooks-and biasing finger differs somewhat from that employed in the previously described form.
  • the locating hooks in the present instance, are plunger-like and are urged towards their hidden position by coil springs 88, 89 compressed between the inside wall of the saddle and flanges 90, 91 borne mediately of the hooks themselves. while ordinarily the hooks are retracted by the coil springs and forced downwardly to their lowered position within the saddle, these hooks may be raised to an operative position by means of cams 93 operable from the outside of the saddle.
  • cams 93 operable from the outside of the saddle.
  • a key or the like is used for turning the cams and raising the hooks.
  • the cams are non-rotatably mounted on rods 94, 95 supported on the saddle, and formed on one end with a cross tongue 97 (Figs. 10, 15) to be received in a slotted key 98.
  • the rods 94, 95 are rotatably mounted within the saddle casting on a chord of the cylindrical surface of the saddle, and the surface. of the saddle bored to make the ends of the mounting rods ac; cessible.
  • a key for turning each mounting rod may therefore be inserted within the respective bore in the saddle.
  • the cams carried by the rods turn with the rod to elevate the plunger-like locating hooks and compress the springs. Upon rotation of the mounting rod and cam in the opposite direction, the coil springs act to retract the hooks.
  • a biasing finger 99, 99 mounted to be engageable with the edge of a tabloid printing plate placed on the saddle for forcing the plate onto the locating hooks.
  • These fingers 99, 99' are mounted on a shaft 100 in turn supported by the saddle, in a similar way to the arrangement employed in the form of the invention described previously.
  • This shaft 100 may be rotated by a control handle 101 attached to a collar 112 which is pinned to the end of the shaft and the shaft is journalled in the saddle in a boss 102 and in the end wall 103 of the saddle casting.
  • each biasing finger is acted upon by torsion springs 104, 105, which raise the respective biasing finger to operative position above the surface of the saddle, and then upon additional rotation of the shaft act to force the finger into engagement with the edge of the plate to force the plate into engagement with the locating hooks 86, 87 and to secure proper seating of the hooks within the tension pockets in the underside of the plate.
  • a simple means for locking the handle in position to stress the springs may be provided by offset shoulders 110, 111 carried respectively on the saddle casting and collar 112.
  • the locating mechanism found on the crown of the saddle may be positioned below the surface of the saddle in an inoperative position, so as not -to interfere with a full size printing-plate clamped on the saddle.
  • the locating hooks and companion biasing fingers may be easily shifted to an operative position extending above the surface of the saddle, for engagement with a tabloid size printing plate, located on one side of the saddle in position to receive the second row of tension pockets adjacent the newly sawed edge of the plate.
  • Figs. l8-21 means may be provided as illustrated in Figs. l8-21, for locating two tabloid plates obtained by sawing a full size plate in sections, on the saddle during the milling operation wherein a second row of pockets is milled adjacent the newly sawed edge of the respective plates.
  • the plate locating mechanism 11? is arranged so as to position the two plates so that one is on each side of the curved saddle, and by means of the locating mechanism the plates are positioned so that the new pockets 122 when cut by the milling cutters 23 as shown in Fig. 18, are accurately spaced from the existing pockets 122'. Referring to Fig.
  • this locating mechanism embodies an assembly including locating hooks 120, 121 arranged in pairs, one pair on each side of the longitudinal center line of the saddle 24.
  • the hooks of each pair are mounted to engage the existing pockets 122 in tabloid plates on the respective side of the saddle, for positioning the plates so that a second row of pockets can be milled along the sawed straight edge of the plate.
