Abstract: This roll mounting assembly (100) for mounting an anilox roll between opposed sideframes (12) includes an anilox roll (120) and opposed end bearings (124). Each sideframe (12) includes an open ended flanged slot (130) receiving an associated bearing (124) at each end and a screw clamping assembly (140) is disposed at the other end of the slot (130) to apply a predetermined pressure to bearing (124) through the medium of a clamping pad (148).

Abstract: An assembly (30) for mounting a printing press meter roll (16) to opposed sideframes (12, 14) includes mounting frames (32) each including forwardly disposed bearing (46) receiving the weight of the meter roll and a rearwardly disposed ell-shaped slot (68). The meter roll mounting frames are mounted by pivot pins (60) to adjacent sideframes, said pins being spaced from the axis of the meter roll, and being retained within the slots by a ball detents (72). An elongate counterbalance adjustment screw (62) is pivotally mounted to each sideframe and includes a remote end (82) engageable with the mounting frame below the pivot so that by backing off the screw the meter roll assembly is adjustably swung to a rest position on support pins 90 to move it out of engagement with, and provide access to, the anilox roll. The mounting frames include stud handles (96) to facilitate sliding removal of the mounting assembly from the sideframes.
