Abstract

944,692. Printing-apparatus. FRED'K H. LEVEY CO. Inc. Nov. 9, 1962 [Feb. 2, 1962], No. 42473/62. Heading B6C. An offset rotary press for printing on a web of material comprises at least one plate cylinder 2 and co-operating blanket cylinder 4 supported on parallel shafts 5, 8 respectively which are rotatably supported by the side-frames 9, 10 of the press unit, co-operating spiral gears 19, 20 keyed to the shafts 6 and 8 respectively and secured against longitudinal movement with respect to the side-frames, the shaft 6 being adapted to be moved longitudinally with respect to the side-frames and the gear 19, a drive shaft 17 parallel to said shafts and having slidably keyed thereto a spiral gear 18 which co-operates with the gear 19, automatic means adapted to move the gear 18 longitudinally in small increments to rotate the gear 19 and effect circumferential register adjustment, and automatic means for moving the shaft 6 longitudinally in small increments to effect longitudinal register adjustment. The gear 18 is moved longitudinally by rotating a shaft 52, Fig. 3b, which carries a gear 54 co-operating with a gear 43 mounted on the threaded section of a shaft 37 one end of which is connected to the gear 18. The shaft 6 is moved longitudinally by rotating a shaft 81, Fig. 3b, so that the threaded portion 80 of the shaft causes the shaft 6 and thus the cylinder 2 to move longitudinally, the shaft 6 sliding through the gear 19. The shafts 52 and 81 may be rototed through rachet and pawl means by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, Figs. 2, 4, 5 (not shown), or by solenoids. An indication of the adjustment is provided by arms 46 and 87. The apparatus shown includes a further plate cylinder, and blanket cylinder 3 so that the web is printed simultaneously on both sides. The cylinder 1 is adjustable in a similar manner to cylinder 2. Several press units according to the invention may be arranged serially, Fig. 1 (not shown), and the units may print in different colours. The shafts 52 and 81 may be rotated manually.
