Abstract: A diverter (10) for a printing press having a cylinder (14) for sequentially carrying printed matter (22), a device (16) for rotating the cylinder (14) a device (42) for passing the printed matter (22) along a first usual path (32) when the printed matter (22) is in a proper arrangement, and for diverting the printed matter (22) along a second different path (54) when the printed matter (22) becomes jammed along the first path (32).

Abstract: A clutch mechanism for a printing press (10) having a shaft (14) having a cylindrical outer surface (36) adjacent one end (28) of the shaft (14 ). The mechanism has a device (15) for rotatably driving the shaft (14) and a drive member (32) having a cylindrical bore (34), with the one end (28) of the shaft (14) being received in the bore (34) of the drive member (32) such that the drive member (32) rotates on the shaft (14), with the drive member (32) having a clutch surface (30). The mechanism has a device (26) and (23) for coupling the shaft (14) with the clutch surface (30) of the drive member (32).

Abstract: A cluth device (20) for a printing press (22) having a rotatably mounted elongated drive shaft (24), a device (26) for rotatably driving the shaft (24), a bearing member (30) rotatably mounted on the shaft (24), a pulley (32) rotatably mounted on the bearing member (30), and a clutch member (54) for selectively securing the pulley (32) to the drive shaft (24) in an operatng condition of the press (22) to drive said pulley (32), and for locking the pulley (32) to a stationary member (48) of the press (22) with the pulley (32) being maintained stationary with respect to said shaft (24) and bearing member (30).
