  • Patent number: 5317971
    Abstract: Flexographic printing plates are mounted in precise registration on printing press cylinders for multicolor printing using a registration apparatus. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus has a support on which a cylinder can be locked in fixed axial and circumferential position. A pair of pin holders slide on a bar parallel to the cylinder axis to set registration pins in precise positions relative to the surface of the cylinder. The bar moves toward the cylinder and places the pin bases on the cylinder surface so the plate is registered on the pins and adhered to the cylinder along the plate centerline and then across its back. The pin holders are set from a template that matches the plates. The locked pin holders and cylinder support allow additional plates to be similarly mounted on other cylinders in precisely corresponding positions, from their centerlines, with reduced error.

  • Patent number: 4982528
    Abstract: A prison cell door locking device which responds to four locking modes of a prison cell locking system which uses a master bar assembly controllable from a central location to (1) release the locks of all cells, (2) lock all of the cells, (3) allow key operation of the locks at each individual cell, or (4) allow electric operation of the cell locks from the central location is provided. The device is fully assembled on a mounting plate which is provided with means for alignment with and securing onto the frame of a prison cell, and for connection to the cell door locking member. The assembled device contains mechanical and electrical components to operate the cell locks in all four modes. The device includes a master bar section which is permanently connectable into the master bar assembly, without further alignment, by long hollow channels of light weight metal.
