SHEET REGISTERING MECHANISM FOR PRINTING MACHINES 4 Sheets-Sheet 4 Filed March 18, 1933 INVENTORY Patented Oct. 8, 1935 UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE SHEET REGISTERING MECHANISM FOR PRINTING MACHINES William K. Eckhard, Dunellen, N. J., assignor to Irving Trust Company, permanent trustee for R. Hoe 8a 00., Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York This invention in general relates to sheet feeding mechanism for printing machines, and more particularly to a novel vertically lifting front sheet stop or sheet registering device which is adapted to accurately align, and then allow the passage of a sheet, while eliminating in large measure the usual shock, noise and vibration incident to the operation of conventional sheet stops or registering devices hitherto in use.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the kind indicated that will efliciently and quietly move the sheet registering or front sheet stops with a minimizing of the shock and vibration which heretofore adversely afiected the quality of the printing.

Referring to the drawings, I9 and 2| desig- 30 nates the frames of an offset printing machine whereon an impression cylinder 22 and a coacting printing cylinder (not shown) are rotatably mounted. On one end of the shaft 23 of the impression cylinder 22, which is rotatably as mounted in the frames l9 and 2| of the machine,

a pair of cams '24, 2B are fastened. Coactingly engaged with the cams 24, 25 are a pair of rollers 26, 21, the roller 26 being mounted on a crank arm II the hub 28 of which is keyed to a shaft 40 28 rotatably mounted in the frame I9, the said hub N of the crank arm 28 having an extension or portion 3| to an end of which latter a spring pressed plunger 32 is attached. On an inner end of the shaft 29, a trip arm 33 is keyed or 45 fastened, the said am coacting with a stop or member 34, hinged to the frame l9 and pivotaily connected to a lower end of a link 35 and to an upper end of a second link 35'. On the hub 28' of the arm 28, an arm 36 is formed, the said arm 38 being hinged to a link 31 operatively connected to mechanism (not shown) for tripping the impression" as is called, or moving the print-, ing cylinder (not shown) to an inoperative position.

As best shown in Figure 1, the roller 21 is mounted on a comparatively small crank arm 38, keyed to a shaft 39, andbiased at one end by a spring pressed plunger 48, the shaft 39 having an arm 4| fastened thereto which is hingedly connected to the lower end of the link 35', the latter being hingedly connected to the link 35 which in turn is pivotally connected to an arm 42, biased by a spring pressed plunger 43 connected thereto and slidable in a lug or poppet 44, threadedly secured to a transverse member 45 joining the frames i9 and 2|. The arm 42 is keyed to a transversely positioned shaft 48, rotatably supported in bearing brackets 41, fastened to the transverse member 45, the said transverse member 45 being slidably and adjustably supported relatively to the frames I9 and 2! by manually operable adjusting screws 48 and 48', arranged in brackets 49, 9| fastened to the frames I9 and 2|. The screws 48 and 48 have manipulating wheels 52 fastened thereon, whereby when the latter are turned the said screws may be threaded into and out of the member 45 thus bodily moving same and, consequently, all the elements connected thereto as a unit for a purpose which will appear hereinafter.

The bearing brackets 41 of the transverse member 45 also serve to rotatably support a second shaft 53, to which is fastened at one end an operating hub 54, engaged by a spring pressed plunger 55, slidably supported on a bracket 58 fastened to the transverse member 45. The hub 54, has two arms or projections 51, 58, the latter of which abuts against an adjusting screw 59 threadedly supported in a poppet 88, in turn carface plate 82', on a shelf or lug 82, secured to an arm 83, pivoted on a stud 84, and having a. lug or projection 85, engaged by an adjustable stop 88, fastened to a poppet 88', secured to the rear frame 2|. The arm 83 is also provided with a roller 81 engaged by a cam 88 preferably arranged directly on the impression cylinder 22.

The shaft 53, as best shown in Figures 9 to 11 inclusive, has a hub or collar 89 adjustably se cured thereto by a screw 18. The hub 89 is formed with a lug 12, which is engaged in a notch or space provided in a sheet registering stop member or plunger 13 the lower extremity or stop 13' of which directly serves as one of the plurality of vertically lifting sheet registering means mentioned above, the said sheet registering plunger 18 being slidablyarranged in a. space formed between a pair of plates 14, 15 secured to the transverse member 45. It is to be understood by inspection of Figures 3 and 4 that the construction at either side of the centre of the transverse member 45 is duplicated, and that there is a plurality of similar units or vertically lifting sheet registering devices. The plunger stop 13 is biased downwardly by a spring 18, the upper end of which is engaged against 9. lug 11. secured to the plate 14, the said stop 13 being provided with a pocket 18 in which seats a small spring 19, the lower end of which latter is engaged against an element 80, best shown in Figure l2, and having connected thereto a plate or 12, an adjusting screw 88, threadedly engagedin the element 89, has an enlarged head 89 received in a second slot formed in the upper extension of the member8l, thus permitting, when the screw 88 is first loosened, the raising or moving of the member 8| relatively to the element 88, by means of the adjusting screw 88. As best shown in Figures 9 and 12, the lower extremities of the plunger 13 may be raised or lowered above and below the level of the sheet supporting table, indicated generally at 9i over which latter 20 sheets 92 are impelled. The said lower extremity 13' of the plunger 13 directly cooperates with details hereinafter described for aligning the sheets 92.

Pivoted on a pin 93, secured to the plunger 13, is a sheet detector arm 94, which has a downwardly projecting portion 95 adapted to be engaged by the sheets 82 as the latter travel on the table or guides 9|. A stop pin 98 is adapted to limit the swinging movement of the detector 94 in the direction and to the extent indicated. As best disclosed in Figures 9, 10 and 11, the detector 94 extends forwardly to a point where'an end of the same can be engaged by a rod or finger 91, connected to anarm 98, keyed to the rock shaft 48, for a purpose hereinafter set forth when the rock shaft 48 is actuated by the means hereinbefore described.

It will be observed by inspection of Figure 9, that as a sheet reaches the position shown there- 40 in, the detector 94 prior to engagement by the sheet 92, is tilted slightly upward so that the depending portion thereof will be engaged against the stop pin 98 and advanced beyond a vertical position. In the position shown in F'igure 10, an advancing sheet 92 has engaged the sheet registering faces 13' of the front stop 19 and also the depending portion 95 of the detector 94, the spring pressed plunger stop 19 having been previously permitted by the position of the lug 12, on the collar 89, fastened to the shaft 84 to descend, thus placingthe detector 94, rockingly mounted thereon, in position shown where it has been engaged at its lower extremity 98, by the advancing sheet 92.

In Figure 11, the. sheet 82 has advanced still further, the detector 94 having been raised by the upward movement of the spring pressed plunger stop 13, as the lug 12, of hub 89, on the shaft 88,,turns with the latter. In this position, the sheet registering faces 18' of the plunger stop 13 have been raised sufliciently in a vertical plane to provide an unimpeded path for the oncoming sheet, while the grippers have operatively seized the sheet. It is to be'noted that while 85 the earns 24 and 25 are performing their functions, the cam 88 is functioning to rock the shaft 53 and, consequently, to reciprocate in a vertical plane the plunger stop 13 and the sheet detecting and registering members 13 and 94 "0 connected thereto. By reference-to Figure 6, it will be seen that as the roller 61, on the pivoted arm 83, rides' over the periphery of the cam '88 of the rotating impression cylinder 22, the plate 82, on the arm 83, will engage the plate 8| of arm 51, thereby angling the spring biased shaft 52 which, as mentioned above, is provided with the hub 88, having lug 12 that operates the plunger 13 and the vertically reciprocating sheet aligning means mentioned above.

The function and general manner of operation of the device may now be summarizedas follows:

Assuming thecams 24, and 60 and the coacting details to be in the position shown in Figure 1, and the impression cylinder 22 to be rotatingin the direction indicated by the arrow, further rotation of the said cylinder 22 will penmit the spring pressed crank arm 28 to first move inwardly or in a counterclockwise direction, as the roller 21 moves into the depressed portion of the cam 25, thereby moving downwardly the links and 35 and thus angling downwardly the stop member 34 attached thereto, the end of the latter then preventing the swinging inwardly of the trip arm 33 and, consequentiy, the "tripping of the impression" or the rendering inoperative of theprinting cylinder (not shown). The above-referred to downward movement of the links 35' and 25 will rock the shaft 48 and, consequently, swing the end of the finger 91 of the arm 98 past the extended end of the detector 84, if the latter has been engaged and moved by an advancing sheet or to the position shown in Figure 10.

In case a sheet 92 has not been properly led forward into engagement with the lower extremity as of the detector 94, the latter will remain in the position shown in Figure 9, and the extended end of the said detector 94 will be engaged by the adjacent end of the finger 81 as the rock or detector shaft 46, biased by the spring pressed plunger 43, swings in a clockwise direction the arm 98 which carries the finger 91!. Further movement of the finger 91 in the direction indicated will now be prevented, thereby restraining the link 35 and the stop member 34 connected thereto from moving downwardly and thus permitting the trip arm 33 on the spring biased shaft 29 to swing inwardly in a counterclockwise direction. This last movement will move the arm 26 and link 31 which will now trip the printing cylinder (not shown) out of contact with the impression cylinder 22 under the circumstances described, when :2 sheet has advanced to engage the detector The operation of the three cams 24, 25 and may be briefly stated, as follows; The outer cam 24 actuates the trip arm 32 and the link 21 thereby rendering inoperative or tripping the printing cylinder (not shown), the inner cam 25 moves the links 45' and 3! through the elements mentioned above and, consequently, the shaft 46 and trip finger 81 which coacts with the detector 94 to prevent angular movement of the stop 24 thereby permitting the trip arm 22 to swing to the left as described above, and "trip the impression" in cases where a sheet is not properly registered. The cam 68 serves to actuate the shaft 53 which reciprocates the vertically moving sheet registering mechanism above-described. The movement and functioning of all three cams 24, 25 and" is so timed that when the finger 81 is permitted to swing past the outer end of the detector '4 and not to engage same after the latter has been engaged by a sheet, the stop 24 will descend to prevent I counterclockwise turning of the trip arm 23 thus ,or adjusted relatively to the fixed frame members i9, 2| by means of the adjusting screws 48 and 48'. By shifting the entire assembly mounted on the transverse member 45 as a unit forward and backward in a substantially horizontal plane, the sheet registering units may be advanced or set back relatively to the line or point at which the sheet grippers engage the sheet. As a consequence, the general position of the printed matter on the sheet may be shifted towards and away from the edge or margin of the sheet.

Heretoi'ore, in sheet fed printing machines it has been customary to align the advancing sheets against a stop which is held temporarily motionless and then to abruptly withdraw the stop out of the path of the sheet, this being accomplished by moving the stop angularly away from the front edge of the sheet. In order to accomplish this angular movement of the stop in as brief a space of time as possible so as not to interfere with the normal functioning of the machine, it was essential in the method heretofore used to abruptly move or jerk the stop thus communicating a shock to the coacting members immediately concerned. This shock is reflected back through the entire printing mechanism, as is well known in the art, and is a prolific source of the streaks, which are to be seen occasionally on the printed pages, since the slightest jar or' tremor communicated to the inking and printing mechanism may occasion variations from the uniform products obtained in a smoothly operating printing machine where no shocks or Jars are communicated to the mechanism.

By the method and means employed in the present invention, the stop or sheet registering means, which is lifted in a substantially vertical plane, may be raised, at first, with a gentle motion and then with rapidly accelerating movement, this effect being achieved by the slope of the cam II, and while the sheet is in continuous engagement with the stop. In other words, a cam offgentle slope is employed requiring an appreciable share of time for its coacting rollers to traverse same, whereby the sheet registering stops mentioned above begin to lift with an almost imperceptible mOtion which is' rapidly accelerated to the point where the stop is disengaged from the sheet while moving perpendicularly, the said stop being continuously in contact with the sheet up to the moment of separating therefrom. As is well-known in the art, it is imperative that the sheet registering stops be instantly removed from the path of the sheet as the moving sheet grippers seize the said sheet. To accomplish this instant removal'of the stops from the sheet by the old method of moving the said. stops away from thesheet in an arcuate path that in some measure is in the general direction of the moving sheet itself, it was essential to deliver practically a blow to the sheet stops of sufficient force to perceptibly Jar the entire mechanism. By applicants method the sheet stop which begins its lifting motion with an imperceptible movement, is actually withdrawing, so to speak, from the sheet while continually in contact with and aligning same until the exact moment the grippers seize the sheet.

It will thus be seen that the present invention provides a non-shock, vertically moving, or rectilinearly moving, front sheet registering device in contra-distinction to the angularly moving front sheet registering devices heretofore employed, which, by reason of their construction and operation, communicated a shock to the associated mechanism with the operating disadvantages indicated above, by reason of the requirement for their practically instantaneous movement out of the path of the sheet.

It will be understood that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it is therefore desired that the present embodiment be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.
