Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for arranging a plurality of foods, in particular different types of cut meat products and sausage products, in at least one base portion of a packaging. The method is characterized in that the base portion receiving the foods is moved on a guide track, wherein magnetic fields are generated for moving the base portion; in that the cart is fed successively to food feeds of the individual foods; and in that at least one food is placed on or in the base portion at each food feed. The apparatus has at least two food feeds whose respective food transfer ends are arranged above a guide track on which carts which have packaging receivers having at least one receiving frame are movable by means of magnetic field sources.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for cleaning a rotating cylinder of a rotary printing machine. The apparatus having a washing device, including a washing brush, roller, or cloth, which can be engaged and disengaged from the rotating cylinder to be cleaned. The washing brush roller or cloth can be sprayed with a cleaning fluid (detergent, water) as well as both water. The method and apparatus ensure a controlled guiding of the detergent onto the outer surface of the rotating cylinder, which guarantees an effective cleaning and, at the end of the washing operation, leaves a relatively dry outer surface of the rotating cylinder. The cleaning method is intended to be suitable, in particular, for detergents having a biological base, for example, esters of vegetable oil.

Abstract: A washing apparatus for cleaning the surface of cylinders in a printing machine includes a fresh-cloth roller, a washing roller and a dirty-cloth roller. A washing cloth is transported from the fresh-cloth roller via the washing roller to the dirty-cloth roller. A spring-band freewheel in the form of a helical coil spring is wound non-positively on the shaft of the fresh-cloth roller. The spring-band freewheel free-wheels during the rotation of the shaft in the direction of tension applied to the washing cloth and blocks the shaft from rotating in the opposite direction. The necessary cloth tension is guaranteed, at the same time, by means of the resilient effect of the spring-band freewheel.

Abstract: A blanket cylinder is covered by a blanket having ends secured by spindles in a wide gap extending parallel to the central axis of the cylinder. The cylinder includes a cover rail having a substantially mushroom-shaped cross-section disposed along the length of the gap. The cover rail is attached to the base of the gap so that the cover rail bears against the blanket secured on the spindles and sealing material is provided between the end walls of the cylinder and the adjacent surfaces of the cover rail.

Abstract: A sheet transfer conveyor for rotary sheet feed printing press comprising a pair of chains which support and transport a plurality of gripper carrying trolleys which successively engage the leading edge of a sheet from a printing press cylinder, such as an impression cylinder, for removing the sheet from the cylinder and transferring it to the next printing unit or to a delivery unit. The trolleys are supported on the chains by resilient mountings which, following engagement of a sheet by the gripper, pivot the trolley under a spring biasing force to maintain substantially constant tension on the sheet throughout the period the sheet is being removed from the cylinder. Guide rails are provided which define a guide channel for guiding the trolleys into predetermined relation to the cylinder for engaging the sheet, and at such point, the guide rails are recessed to permit pivotal movement of the trolley under the biasing force of the spring mounting.

Abstract: A conveyor for a sheet-fed rotary printing press for transferring sheets away from an impression cylinder includes a delivery cylinder disposed adjacent the impression cylinder, and a chain conveyor having a plurality of sheet grippers, adapted for moving the grippers about the delivery cylinder for successively engaging sheets on the impression cylinder. The delivery cylinder has a gap in its outer periphery for receiving successive of the sheet grippers during transfer of a sheet from the impression cylinder to the sheet grippers. The sheet grippers each include a support and a pivotable gripper finger, and a displacer mounted on and extending rearwardly of each gripper support for bridging the gap in the delivery cylinder within which the gripper is disposed during a sheet transfer operation, and for maintaining tension in the sheet during transfer from the impression cylinder to the chain conveyor. The displacer is comb shaped having a plurality of rearwardly extending arcute shaped teeth.
