  • Patent number: 4241658
    Abstract: A system for duplicating images on copy sheets utilizing an impression cylinder. The system provides for transfer of an image to one side of each sheet, and the sheet may then be reversed to locate the sheet on the impression cylinder, trailing edge first. The reversing is in synchronism with a second image whereby this second image may be transferred to the opposite side of each sheet. The impression cylinder is provided with a first gripper for engaging the leading edge of each sheet when the sheet is first fed to the impression cylinder. A second gripper is provided on the impression cylinder for engaging the trailing edge of each sheet, and this second gripper turns around to achieve the reversing action after application of the first image. The first gripper is externally mounted and is movable relative to the impression cylinder whereby the relative positions of the grippers can be changed so that different size sheets can be duplexed.
