Patent number: 5545001Abstract: A station for piling, separating and ejecting batches of workpieces includes rollers for carrying the workpieces against a front stop and placing them on a table movable in a descending fashion, separating arms connected to a horizontal separator-carrying crossbar and an outlet conveyor at a level of which the table descends for removing the batches. The station includes temporary front and rear holders for supporting the workpieces as the separator is withdrawn to move the batch from the table onto the outlet conveyor, which may have a driven portion so that a shifting force for transferring a batch from the table to the conveyor occurs both on the uppermost and lowermost workpiece of the batch or stack.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1995Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: SA MartinInventor: Bernard Capdeboscq

Patent number: 5526746Abstract: A device for hooking flexible printing plates which have a supporting sheet with one or more printing motifs onto a rotary printing cylinder includes a front hooking strip having an almost U-shaped cross section engaged in a hook-shaped groove arranged along a surface of the cylinder. One or more stops are provided on the supporting sheet adjacent to the hooking strip and are received in a second groove formed in the cylinder, which has a cross sectional profile corresponding to the profile of the stops. The second groove can be in communication with third grooves extending at right angles thereto and the second groove and third grooves can be in communication with a source of vacuum to facilitate holding the flexible printing plate on the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: June 18, 1996Assignee: SA MartinInventor: Bernard Capdeboscq

Patent number: 5464202Abstract: In a system and method for feeding sheets from a stack, a support arrangement is provided having a plurality of rows of rollers mounted on support levers to support the stack above a first carrier. The rollers are lowered so that a lowermost sheet of the stack contacts the first carrier which is driven to cyclically accelerate the lowermost sheet in a direction perpendicular to the rows so that the sheet achieves a linear velocity. A second carrier is driven at a constant speed to transport the sheet away from the first carrier at the linear velocity. Each row of rollers is sequentially raised when a trailing edge of the sheet has moved beyond that particular row.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1994Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Assignee: SA MartinInventor: Bernard Capdeboscq

Patent number: 5344136Abstract: A sheet supporting arrangement comprises an upper sheet supporting grid and a lower sheet supporting grid, each made up of rods of jacks which are arranged on front and rear walls of a stacker. The upper grid consists of a series of jacks, each comprising an elastically, though not permanently deformable rod which is set at one of its ends in a piston that is also elastically, though not permanently deformable. The elastically, though not permanently rod is then guided within a bearing when it moves as well as by the circumferential surface of the piston sliding on the inner cylindrical surface of the cylinder forming the jack.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1993Date of Patent: September 6, 1994Assignee: SA MartinInventor: Bernard Capdeboscq

Patent number: 4970924Abstract: A circular tool arrangement which includes a circular rim having an inner rim with the circular rim having a plurality of circular seats arranged on a first radius and the inner rim having a plurality of circular seats arranged on a second radius. Tools shaped as either cutting members or creasing members are arranged on the rim and have projections which are engaged in one of the groups of seats and each of the arrangements has a ring provided with concentric grooves for receiving projections on the side of the tool facing the ring. The rings are moved in the clamping engagement by a spring arrangement which can be released by applying axial pressure on the heads of the spring arrangement to shift the ring from a clamping position to an open position to enable removal of the tools.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1989Date of Patent: November 20, 1990Assignee: SA MartinInventor: Bernard Capdeboscq
