Abstract: A sheet-fed printing press is provided to shorten the operation time thereof for feeding the printing plate on the plate cylinder in a printing operation without the tail edge of the printing plate clamped. For this purpose, the sheet-fed printing press is operable in the standard-sized printing plate feeding mode and the shorter-sized printing plate feeding mode. When the shorter-sized printing plate feeding mode is selected, the plate cylinder is rotated in the forward direction with the leading edge of the printing plate clamped by the first clamp device, so that the printing plate is wound around the plate cylinder. In this operation, the second clamp device is not actuated.

Abstract: A metal mold arrangement for producing a closed deck type cylinder block in which a plurality of bridge portions partly cover an open end of a water jacket at a top deck side of the cylinder block. A water jacket die provides a configuration of a water jacket. A plurality of recesses are formed in the water jacket die, and each separate core having a shape complementary to the recess is insetted in each recess. Each separate core has a top deck side end face and a crank case side end face opposite thereto. The two faces are slanted in a direction opposite to each other for serving as drafts. A bottom of each recess is also slanted coincident with the slant of the top deck side end face, and each bridge portion is formed adjacent the bottom of the recess. Upon solidification of a molten metal, the water jacket die is removed from the casted product while each separate core remains in a resultant water jacket.
Abstract: A method for producing a cylinder block capable of providing sufficient bonding between the cylinder liner and a block body. The cylinder block producing method includes an inner peripheral surface roughening process, outer peripheral surface roughening process, adiabatic particle adhesion process, and melt bonding process. In the inner peripheral surface roughening process, shot blasting is performed to the inner surface of the cylinder liner. In the outer peripheral surface roughening process, semi-spherical dimples are formed on the outer surface of the cylinder liner by sinking the shot balls by their semi-spherical amount into the liner by means of shot blasting. Zn balls and stainless beads each having diameter of 0.4 mm, or Zn balls having diameter of 0.8 mm are used as the shot balls. In the adiabatic particle adhesion process, BN particles are adhered to the inner surface of the cylinder liner.

Abstract: Solid-patches 11, 12, and 13 each printed with color-inks of cyan, magenta, yellow, and a gray patch 14 included in a color bar 15 are printed on a printed-matter 10. A measuring and calculation device 4 measures actual ink densities at each of the solid-patches and gray patches in the color bars 15 and obtains differential values between the actual ink densities and target ink densities at the gray patch 14. Then, both the amount of the primary-color-component and that of the color-impurity-component at the solid patches 11, 12, and 13 are respectively substituted into equations at every detection of the differential values and that of the gray patches. In this way, ink supply volume is adjusted as a result of converting the differential values into primary-color-component differential amount in each of the color-inks.

Driving connection between the paper discharge gear and the paper discharge portion is selectively disconnected by the second clutch.
Abstract: A leading edge side part 10a of a printing plate 10 can easily be inserted into a gap L1 formed between a plate guide 15 positioned adjacent to positioning pins 11 and a leading edge side clamping base 51 because the gap L1 is formed in a thickness slightly thicker than the printing plate 10. Restoring force caused by flexure of the printing plate 10 allows the leading edge side part 10a thereof being inserted into the gap L1, the restoring force being generated when a tail edge side part 10b of the printing plate 10 is in contact with a contact member 2.
Abstract: A spiral gear 7G formed on an adjusting bolt 7 is engaged with a spiral gear 8G disposed around a shaft 8 for diagonal adjustment. The shaft 8 is rotatably supported in a block 16 which is fixed to the bottom of the tail edge side clamping base 3, and the shaft 8 is screwed into the hole of a block 18 provided to a plate cylinder 60 and passes therethrough. The block 18 is supported so as not to be moved in the directions shown by the arrows 92, 93 relative to the cylinder plate 60. Diagonal image adjustment is carried out by moving the tail edge side clamping base 3 in the directions shown by the arrows 92 or 93 as a result of rotating an adjusting knob 7H of the adjusting bolt 7.
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a dampening volume control apparatus capable of shortening a period of time for adjusting a desired value of characteristics. A switch SW1 is a switch for switching the apparatus either in an automatic control mode or a manual control mode. A dampening volume of the dampening solution being stored in a manual dampening volume storing means 21 is varied by adjusting a switch SW21 and/or a switch 22. Revolution speed of a motor 25 is controlled by a controller 23 in accordance with the dampening volume thus varied. The switch SW1 is turned to the automatic control mode when the operator judges that quality of printing done on the printed papers is qualified to the criteria. The revolution speed of the motor 25 is controlled so as to make the dampening volume on the plate surface coincide with the volume corresponding to the desired value during the automatic control condition.
