Abstract: In a web anti-wrap device for a web printing press, anti-wrap means is disposed between printing cylinders and a processing device which is positioned downstream of the printing cylinders in the printing press, to prevent a broken web from wrapping around the printing cylinders. Guide means is provided for guiding the anti-wrap means for movement between a first position in which the anti-wrap means fulfills the function to prevent the broken web from wrapping, and a second position in which the anti-wrap means is moved away from the first position to create a working space between the anti-wrap means and the printing cylinders or between the anti-wrap means and the processing device.

Abstract: A plate mounting device for an imprinter has a magnetized outer surface, and an imprinter plate cylinder having one or a plurality of positioning pin holes provided near a portion near an end of a plate to be mounted on the imprinter plate cylinder. A ferromagnetic base plate is mounted on the imprinter plate cylinder. The ferromagnetic base plate has a plate face provided with pin through-holes which are brought into alignment with the positioning pin holes so as to position a plate. When the base plate is mounted on the imprinter plate cylinder, those of the positioning pin holes which are not used are filled with magnetic pins.
