  • Mounting means for plate cylinders of a printing machine having replaceable sleevelike plate cylinder shells
    Patent number: 4697516
    Abstract: Apparatus for rotatably mounting plate cylinders on a printing machine, such as a flexographic printing machine, that includes removable sleevelike plate cylinder shells, and for facilitating installation and removal of the cylinder shells. During replacement of each plate cylinder shell, one journal of the plate cylinder core is supported by the frame of the printing machine. The other bearing support is withdrawable from the other journal and includes a bearing support bracket that is axially displaceable relative to the axis of the plate cylinder by a carriage carried on tracks that have ends secured to a pivotable yoke to permit the other bearing support to be axially withdrawn from the plate cylinder journal and to pivot outwardly. The tracks are adapted to be locked at their inner ends to the machine frame or to the plate cylinder carriage.
