This invention relates tothe connection of several units of a printing press with thenecessary folder orfolders.`V The principal objects of the invention are to connect the units and foldersby a series of shafts in alignment Athroughout'the' serial No. 89.070, nieu February 1s, 1 926; patented and maintenance; to avoid back lash in stopping and starting the presses by the elimination ofthe numerous gears now employed, and to doaway.Y

Reference. is to be -had to the accompanying drawing in which y Fig. 1 is aplan of an embodiment of this invention which accomplishes the above named objects ;inthevhighest degree; i' Fig. 2 is 'a side view of the same and Fig. 3 is an end view thereof; l
form the connection by means of` a horizontal driving shaft Which receives and delivers the power through a number of` gears mounted on v otherihorizontal and Lvertical shafts connected` with the units. The horizontal driving shaft usually is located directlyabove or below the vfloor of the press 'and is driven by a motor placed adjaf cent thereto. Whenv the motor is stopped 'or started, the .several press units4 and folders are subjected to a certain amount of backlash or lost motion on account of these gears. This-is multiplied by each set of gears used. Thus this effect is times even the tearing of the paper.
' multiplied, which causes several difficulties, some- .v
Ifhave illustrated two-press units A vand 13, placed end to end,A that is, withcorresponding'.
shafts in alignment'. These are` also shown as *provided with a folder C located at the end of one of the printingunits; In thisvcase, the drive is- A from a motor-10` through a chain `11 and its sprockets to a main shaft 12 on one of these units; This shaft, by 'gears in the usual way, drives aY 'shaft 13 in the press, that is, the `unitr B. This shaft I call the'driving shaft and itis provided with extensions rigidly mounted on each end, coupled directly `by couplings 14 and 15 toftwo other driving shafts. One' of theseshaftsisthe "iwhaft 17 for driving another printing unit A and the other is the shaft liwhich drives thefolder C. Both the shaftsgl'iand 18 are driving shafts.
Whena `number of newspaper printing pressl units are connected togetherV itis customary to'v I have notdscribedthedetails of thepress unitsanyjmore than enoughto show the applican be provided with vinking mechanism 2 1, fresh roll supports 22, etc. i
. -This type of press, as shown in Figs. 1, V2 and 3,;65-1Q` 4 is simplied, as far as the drive is concerned, to asn high. a degree las' is possible in a multiple unit press. This willbeseen to be true, when it Vis pointedout that `all the'press'units and folders -are driven,` from asingle'fmain shaft on' one of'them, through" an unbroken 'line .of-driving? i f without anygears of any sort or, other'relatively one'to another.- These driving shafts, xv v'ellV lshafts arranged end to `end and in alignment and level,` or-substantially'sdnamely the levelofall'* 5 Y' shafts are elim-Vv the, printing couples; so :verticali inated with their gears.
Intermediatefvertical shafts and gearsare doney awayl with, exceptthat onepair of gearsis used,
but thereis an=important`saving in the number `of gears'requiredioreach machine. 'I 'hisre` duces the lexpense and theamount of back lash. Although I have-illustratedand described only from the scope ofthe inventio'nas expressed in` the claims. Y ,Therefore '1 do not'wish'to be umiced .90
to all nthe details ofconstruction vherein shown] and described, but what I do claim is:-`
-1. `The ombination with a. plurality ofv'press 4 i gunits, each having a horizontal shaft parallelv with the axesfofjv the I'nfinting couplethereof, of a 'direct rigid Vconnection betweensaid shafts` of y two units'which are in alignment-With each other, "anda main shaft directly'fconnected Withone of? thedriving` shaftsfor drivingt. v .Y 2. The .combinationwith a plurality of press units, of fa folderya series of-shafts belonging to .said press unitsf'and folder all located in longi tudinal alignment," andA direct means for connect-i` ingthe opposite ends, offoneof saidshafts in one `ofthe press units to a Vcorresponding shaft in another press vunit 'the folder respectively.
It will be obvious that vin additionto the units A`. and BI canconnect these up with otherunits'asi 'for example, the`unitD having a driving shaft 1 9 anda corresponding shaft' Vin a press` unit' andA a Y rectly connected to the rst named driving shaft.
4. In a printingsystemfthe oombinationwith a plurality of'press `units arranged `end to end,- and a folder arranged at the end of Aonevof said` pressvunits, of an unbroken line of shaftsextending through the press units and folder, the different parts thereof being rigidly connected together for drivingl all of said machinesdirectly' fromy one of them.;4 l f Y 1 #HENRY A.
