Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for clamping printing plates around the plate cylinders of printing presses and, more particularly, to apparatus for clamping opposite axial edges of a flexible printing plate in an axial slot in the plate cylinder to stretch or tension and hold the flexible plate around the cylinder.
  • This application is a continuation-in-part of copending applications Ser. No. 92,538, filed March 1, 1961, and Ser. No. 196,795, filed May 22, 1962, and now both abandoned.
  • modern high speed rotary printing presses may utilize a thin flexible printing plate extending substantially entirely around the plate cylinder.
  • opposite axial edges of the plate may be clamped in an axial slot in the plate cylinder in order to hold the flexible plate in position, but the flexible nature of the printing plate and the large extent thereof clear around the cylinder may necessitate actual stretching or tensioning of the printing plate (more than merely statically clamping the edges thereof) to assure that it fits tightly all around the cylinder and eliminates the possibility of flexing or moving, especially when subjected to the pressure of the printing impression.
  • the latter problem may include additional difiiculty when it is realized that the operating or actuating mechanism for releasing the plate clamping means should desirably be readily accessible from, at least, the ends of the cylinders and, preferably, from remote locations particularly on large multicylinder presses.
  • any additional or extra mass or weight of clamping mechanism included within the plate cylinder is just that much more weight or mass which must be rotated along with the plate cylinder to consume additional power and, perhaps, require additionally large or strong journals, bearings, etc.
  • arrangements of apparatus for clamping the opposite axial edges of a flexible printing plate around a plate cylinder and for stretching the plate tightly into position on the cylinder surface, and with such apparatus arranged to act in a close-coupled manner adjacent the edges of the printing plate simultaneously to clamp the plate edges and tension the plate circumferentially with desirably large forces notwithstanding the close-coupled arrangement of clamping and stretching leverages in a minimum of space.
  • a still further feature of this invention includes utilizing a plurality of pairs of clamping rails along each printing plate for more even control and tensioning effects, and also positioning the clamping mechanism for two adjacent printing plates displaced about the cylinder by about to minimize possible vibration effects which might be caused by asymmetrical distribution of the clamping mechanism on the cylinder.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section through a printing press plate cylinder embodying and for practicing this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a somewhat diagrammatic showing of two plate cylinders of a printing press and indicating a diagram of pneumatic remote control in accordance herewith;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section through a printing press plate cylinder having a somewhat modified embodiment of this invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the arrangement of FIG. 3 with parts broken away.
  • a plate cylinder for a rotary printing press is indicated generally in FIG. 1 at 10 as being essentially hollow and having around the circumferential surface thereof a thin shell 11.
  • a thin flexible printing plate, indicated at 12, extends substantially all around cylinder 10 and in cludes inwardly bent axial edge portions 13 and 14 for clamping engagement with mechanism described below.
  • An axial slot or groove along cylinder 10 is defined by two axially extending members 17 and 18, aflixed integrally to shell 11, and extending along cylinder 10 for at least the axial width of plate 12.
  • an axial insert or bar 19 In the axial slot defined between members 17 and 18 is positioned an axial insert or bar 19, the outer surface of which is generally curved to conform to the outer circumference of cylinder 10.
  • Axial insert 19 also includes a slotted cylindrical boring 20 therethrough and disposed adjacent the outer circumferential surface thereof. Extending along insert 19 within boring 20 thereof are clamping rails 21 and 22, having a generally arcuate cross section as indicated in FIG. 1, which rails are arranged to rotate or move angularly within boring 21 toward and away from each other.
  • a plurality of rounded roller or pressure members 25 are arranged between clamping rails 21 and 22 and along the length thereof, spaced apart axially along the clamping rails as may be desired to provide the necessary clamping force as described below, four of such devices being indicated in the diagram of FIG. 2 for each set of clamping rails.
  • each roller member 25 To each roller member 25 is connected a piston rod 26 affixed to a piston 27 operating radially within a pneumatic cylinder 23, mounted between axial members 17 and 18 and abutting against the radially inner portion 29 of axial insert
  • a piston rod 26 affixed to a piston 27 operating radially within a pneumatic cylinder 23, mounted between axial members 17 and 18 and abutting against the radially inner portion 29 of axial insert
  • piston rod 26 and roller member permits outer edges 31 and 32 of clamping rails 21 and 22 to separate, which action is resiliently induced by spring members 33 and 34 acting on studs of levers 35 and 36 connected to clamping rails 21 and 22, respectively, and operating in hollows provided therefor in axial insert 19.
  • roller member 25 when roller member 25 is moved to a radially outward position, spring means 33 and 34 urge clamping rails 21 and 22 to rotate within boring 20 so that the outer edges 31 and 32 thereof are separated. Thereupon, a flexible printing plate 12 is applied to the surface of shell 11 of plate cylinder 10, and the inwardly bent edges 13 and 14 of plate 12 are inserted into the axial slot in boring 20 and between edges 31 and 32 of clamping rails 21 and 22.
  • the radially outer portion of roller member 25 includes a generally pointed or wedge shaped portion 39 to separate edge portions 13 and 14 of plate 12 and facilitate the insertion thereof between the clamping rails 21 and 22 as shown.
  • the clamping force for urging roller member 25 and piston rod 26 radially inwardly for clamping and tensioning plate 12 around cylinder 10 is provided, in the illus-, trated embodiment, by compression spring means, indicated as springs 41 and 42 operating between the radially outer end of cylinder 28 and piston 27' therein to urge piston 27 and piston rod 26 and roller member 25 radially inwardly with the desired large clamping force to maintain plate 12 firmly clamped and tensioned. around cylinder 10.
  • such compression spring means for maintaining the desired clamping force are all mounted spaced from and radially inwardly of the actual clamping members 21, 22, 25, etc.,.so that an adequately large force is readily supplied, as by springs 41 and 42, notwithstanding the close-coupled arrangement of the actual clamping members and the small space in which they are positioned.
  • Such arrangement minimizes the circumferential extent of useless printing surface along the cylinder adjacent the gap or slot between opposite edges of plate 12, yet supplies adequately large clamping forces notwithstanding the ditficulty of supplying such force from levers or other means closely associated with the actual clamping members.
  • the arcuate clamping rails 21 and 22 extend axially along plate cylinder 10 for, preferably, at least the axial dimension of a printing plate 12 to be clamped therearound, a plurality of roller members 25 (each with its associated piston rod 26, piston 2'7, cylinder 23, and springs 41 and 42) are provided spaced along clamping rails 21 and 22 to produce the desired clamping pressure, with both the number and spacing of such plurality of radially acting mechanisms being selected, in completely known and well understood manner, depending upon the size of the cylinder 10 and plate 12 and the uniformity and amount of clamping pressure necessitated or desired therewith.
  • the release or opening of the whole plurality of roller members 25, etc., for each printing plate is simultaneously desired for the removal or insertion of printing plates 12.
  • the aggregate force of the plurality of springs 41, 42, providing the desired radially inward clamping pressure may well exceed a force which can conveniently manually be over come to move the rollers 25 outwardly into released or open position, particularly when it is realized that such radially outward releasing movement is preferably provided by means operable or accessible from the ends of cylinder 10 or, at least, outside the circumferential printing surface thereof.
  • the several pneumatic cylinders 28 and means for introducing pneumatic pressure therein against the respective pistons 27 with sufficient force to urge pistons 27 (and piston rods 26 and roller members 25) radially outwardly against the pressure of springs 41 and 42 to release both the clamping and tension'ing forces provided on the printing plate by roller members 25 and the outer edges 31 and 32 of clamping rails 21 and 22.
  • such means include an air passage 45 in the inner end of cylinder 28, to which is connected, in known manner, an air conduit 46 communicating with an axial compressed air manifold 47, illustrated as being incorporated in axially extending block 48 mounted within shell 11 of plate cylinder 10.
  • compressed air is supplied into manifold 47, in known manner, through. a conduit 56 leading axially through one end of the platecylinder shaft 51 by which plate cylinders 10 are mounted for roration between side members 52 and 53 of the printing press.
  • compressed air is supplied from a source thereof through supply line 55 and control valve 55 to a threeway valve 57, of conventional and well known design.
  • compressed air is selectively fed through line 50 into manifold 47 and thence through the respective air conduits 46 into the respective cylinders 28 for urging the pistons 27 therein radially outwardly to release the clamping arrangement as above described.
  • the pneumatic pressure is released or vented, by moving three-way valve 57 to another position, and permits springs 41 and 42 to urge pistons 27 and the various roller members 25 radially inwardly into clamping and tensioning position.
  • main air control valve 56 is preferably connected or integrated with the main motor control of the printing press so that valve 56 prohibits supply of compressed air whenever the printing press is running, thus removing-the possibility that even inadvertent or accidental operation of three-way valves 57 might admit pneumatic pressure to release any of the clamping mechanism except when the printing press is stopped.
  • a plurality of plate cylinders 19 on the same press may readily be controlled by a similar plurality of air lines 56 and three-Way valves 57, etc., from the same main air supply 55, yet with the clamping mechanism on each individual plate cylinder separately operable whenever the press is stopped.
  • the operating means for three-way valves 57 may readily and conveniently be arranged at a remote control station, if desired, and need not be closely associated with the individual plate cylinders themselves. Also as indicated in the diagram of FIG. 2, it is preferred that the individual clamping rails and respective plurality of air lines 46 and cylinders 28, etc., for clamping the edges of one printing plate 12 on a plate cylinder 19 be circumferentially offset by about 90 from the similar clamping mechanism for the edges of an adjacent printing plate 12 on cylinder 10, as will be understood in accordance with conventional engineering factors in designing plate cylinders for accommodating more than one printing plate therealong, either for purely printing reasons or to equalize within the plate cylinders eccentrically disposed masses of mechanism therein.
  • each set of clamping mechanism in accordance herewith for each separate printing plate on the same plate cylinder is readily provided with individual pneumatic pressure control, or all the clamping mechanism on one plate cylinder can be simultaneously operated, if desired, for simultaneous release of the clamping mechanism to remove or insert one or more printing plates 12.
  • cam or roller 60 is illustrated as having somewhat different shape than roller 25 in FIG. 1, and is operated by somewhat different mechanism than the spring-loaded cylinder 28 described above.
  • roller or cam 60 is eccentrically fastened, as by a pin 61, to the end of a rod 62 connected to a piston 63 in cylinder 64, wherein piston 63 is radially actuated in either opening or closing position by pneumatic or hydraulic fluid pressure in known manner as by conduits and connections (not shown) and, preferably, accessible entirely from outside the printing press or, at least, the ends of the plate cylinders.
  • a plurality of pairs of clamping members 21 and 22, each with the other appertaining mechanism are preferably disposed in each axial groove to engage the edges of a single clamping plate-such as illustrated in FIG. 4, although this arrangement is to be understood as also applicable to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the ends of the clamping rails 21 and 22 also carry slots 66 which are keyed onto fixed pegs or pins 67 as an aid to 'maintaining the rails positioned in the respective grooves therefor.
  • the clamping mechanisms for engaging the edges of adjacent printing plates along cylinder 10 are preferably disposed therein separated by the 90" from each other (as indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4) in order to avoid shocks and vibrations which might be caused by the presence of the longitudinal groove in the surface of the cylinder, as well as to distribute asymmetrical masses more evenly over the circumference of the cylinder.
