Abstract: Sheet-guiding device assembly includes at least one sheet hold-downer disposed on a movable protective guard.

Abstract: Pull lays on a feed table of a sheet-fed rotary printing machine are adjusted by a pulling device for laterally aligning sheets thereon. A spindle, which extends transversely to the travel direction, displaces the pull lays for adjusting to a sheet format to be processed. The spindle engages indirectly at a housing of the side lays which is provided with bearing and guide elements. The pull lays are thereby subject to an energy storing device which supports them in a guide transversely to the feed table.

Abstract: Sheet-guiding device assembly of a sheet-processing machine includes at least one sheet hold-downer disposed on a movable protective guard. The guard is swivellably or slidingly supported. The guard may be formed with an aperture in which the sheet hold-downer is disposed. The spacing of the sheet hold-downer to a feed table of the sheet-processing machine is adjustable.

Abstract: A sheet guiding device for printing presses, wherein, for recto printing, a sheet decurler is pivotable into a gap formed in a guide surface and, for recto/verso printing, the sheet decurler is pivotable out of the gap, a surface element of the guide surface being displaceable for closing the gap wherein the sheet decurler is engageable, includes a drive lever which, for switching to recto printing, is operatable for displacing the surface element in order to form the gap and for engaging the sheet decurler and pivoting it into the gap, the drive lever, for switching to recto/verso printing, being operatable for releasing the sheet decurler to swivel out of the gap and for engaging and displacing the surface element.

Abstract: A transmission arrangement includes a plurality of transmission linkages, of which at least one performs an oscillating movement which is repeated during each period. A control cam is formed on a first transmission linkage and a feeler roller is rotatably mounted on a second transmission linkage. The control cam and a contact surface of the feeler roller are in operative rolling contact during at least part of a period repeating in the respective periods. The second transmission linkage has a degree of freedom with respect to a bearing support which allows shifting due to deflections of the feeler roller mounted on the second transmission linkage as a result of a relative movement between the control cam and the feeler roller.

Abstract: Gripper control for a cyclically swingably driven pregripper for transporting single sheets in a sheet-fed printing press, the pregripper having at least one sheet gripper mounted on a free end of a swivel lever motorizingly pivotable about a frame-fixed swivel shaft, the gripper control including cams for forcibly moving the sheet gripper about an articulated shaft oriented parallel to the swivel shaft so as to close and open the sheet gripper upon sheet acceptance and sheet transfer, one of the cams being revolvable in a single revolution for cyclically shifting the other of the cams in the position thereof, the other of the cams being secured to a roller lever supported pivotally at a fixed location and having a cam roller resting on the one cam, relative positions of the cams being adjustable for determining the instants of closing and opening of the gripper, the other of the cams being a cam segment having two successive circular cam regions with radii of curvature of different length and a common center
