  • Patent number: 5588362
    Abstract: A cylinder throw-on and throw-off mechanism for a printing press having a plate cylinder and a printing cylinder, which are disposed with outer surfaces being separated from each other, and a blanket cylinder disposed therebetween includes a driving unit and a control unit. The driving unit has a motor serving as a driving source and moves the blanket cylinder between an impression-on position where the blanket cylinder is pressed against the plate cylinder and simultaneously pressed against the printing cylinder through a paper sheet and an impression throw-off position where the blanket cylinder is separated from the plate cylinder and the printing cylinder in accordance with a direction of rotation and the number of revolutions of the motor.

  • Patent number: 5520111
    Abstract: A plate exchange apparatus for a printing press includes a plate holding unit, a rack, a pinion, and a driving unit. The plate holding unit is supported on a frame to be vertically movable and holds at least one of a plate discharged from a plate cylinder and a plate to be supplied to the plate cylinder. The rack is fixed on the plate holding unit to extend in a vertical direction. The pinion is mounted on the frame to mesh with the rack. The driving unit is mounted on the frame to rotate the pinion.

  • Patent number: 5445076
    Abstract: A cylinder throw apparatus includes a plate cylinder, a printing cylinder, a blanket cylinder, a pair of eccentric bearings, and a motor. The plate cylinder has a circumferential surface on which a printing plate is mounted. The printing cylinder is disposed to have a circumferential surface thereof kept away from the circumferential surface of the plate cylinder. The blanket cylinder is disposed between the plate cylinder and the printing cylinder. The eccentric bearings and the motor move the blanket cylinder between an impression-on position in which the blanket cylinder is pressed against the plate cylinder and, through a paper sheet, pressed against the printing cylinder, and an impression throw-off position in which the blanket cylinder is kept away from the plate cylinder and the printing cylinder, and automatically set a gap between the blanket cylinder and the printing cylinder at the impression-on position in correspondence with a paper thickness.

  • Patent number: 5406888
    Abstract: A plate replacing apparatus for a printing press having plate lockup devices for fixing the two ends of a plate located in a gap of the circumferential surface of a plate cylinder and wound around the circumferential surface includes an old plate holding mechanism and a new plate holding mechanism. The old plate holding mechanism receives and holds an old plate removed upon release of the plate lockup devices and pivotal movement of the plate cylinder. The new plate holding mechanism removes the old plate and feeds a new plate to the plate cylinder.

  • Patent number: 5332206
    Abstract: A paper feed suction apparatus includes a cylindrical guide nozzle, a cylindrical intermediate nozzle with a collar, a tension coil spring, a bottomed-cylindrical suction port member, a compression coil spring, and a stopper. The cylindrical intermediate nozzle is supported on a frame side and has an inner hole connected to an air source. The cylindrical intermediate nozzle with the collar is fitted on an outer circumferential surface of the guide nozzle to be vertically movable. The tension coil spring has an upper end portion fixed on the guide nozzle side and a lower end portion fixed on the intermediate nozzle side, and biases the intermediate nozzle upward. The bottomed-cylindrical suction port member is fitted on an outer circumferential surface of the intermediate nozzle to be vertically movable and has a suction hole in its lower end face. The compression coil spring is interposed between the suction port member and the guide nozzle, and biases the suction port member downward.
