  • Patent number: 7478592
    Abstract: A clamping device for clamping a flexible packing (2, 3) of a cylinder (1) of a printing press, which cylinder has an axial channel (6) on a jacket surface, the clamping device includes a clamping body (10), which has a surface (S) that forms in the channel (6) with an opposite surface (4) a clamping gap for at least one end of the packing (2, 3) protruding through an opening (7) of the channel (6). A pressing device (13; 14; 10a) presses the clamping body (10) and the opposite surface (4) against each other with a clamping force (F). A mounting device (12; 14; 1, 8), which forms a support surface (9; 14?; 9?), touches the clamping body (10) and the clamping body (10) is supported on it.

  • Publication number: 20050268803
    Abstract: A clamping device is provided for clamping a flexible packing of a cylinder of a printing press, which cylinder has an axial channel on a jacket surface. The clamping device has a clamping body (10; 20; 25), which forms a clamping gap in the channel (6) with a first opposite surface (4) for at least one end of the packing (2, 3), which end protrudes through a opening (7) of the channel (6). Two channel walls face the first opposite surface (4), and one of which forms a second opposite surface (5) and the other forms a third opposite surface (9). At the surfaces the clamping body (10; 20; 25) is supported touching the wall or walls. At least one clamping body (10; 20; 25) and the opposite surfaces (4, 5, 9) form a spring (10; 20; 14; 15). The force of elasticity of the spring (10; 20; 14; 15) tensions the clamping body (10; 20; 25) and the first opposite surface (4) toward each other in order to clamp the at least one end of the packing (2, 3) with the packing (2, 3) pulled in.
