Ohio, a corporation of Delaware Application May 25', 1946, Serial No. 672,236
resulting in increased working space between the units. e
In the type of multicolor :offset printing press in which the sheets to be printed are passed successively through a plurality of printing units, each of which comprises a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder and an impressionjcylinder, it is nec essary to provide sufiicient space between adjacent printing units to accommodate the press operator so that he may work" upon the plate and blanket cylinders and upon the inking and dampening mechanism. i
In such presses it is important, from the standpoint of efficiency of operation, that the printing cylinders be arranged in such a way that the angular positions of the cylinders at any point in their rotation be the same in all units.- Such an arrangement makes it :possible to perform the same operation on all units at the same time. For example the operationsiof applying or removing a plate from the plate cylinder, washing or gumming up the plate, washing or otherwise treating the blanket, etc.; may be performed by different operators working simultaneously on the several units, thereby savin considerable time over that required if each unit were to be operated upon separately, it being important of course that an expensivemachine be productively employed during as much as possible of each working day.
It is also desirable that ,in such presses the sheet, in passing through the press, be handled by as few sets of sheet grippers as possible in order to minimize the danger of mis-register of thesheets.
It has been found in practice that the above desirable ends may be satisfactorily achieved by arranging the cylinders of the press in such manner that all of its printing units are substantially identical and are disposed in the same relation to; the base line of the press, and by providing between the impression cylinders of adjacent printing units a single transfer cylinder having twice the diameter of the impression cylinders'and so located ;that the lines joining the centers of each of the impression cylinders and the center of the transfer cylinder lie at an angle of 120 to each other. By means of such an arrangement all the impression cylinders occupy the same rotational position at all times, and since the printing units are all similar the pther cylinders of the units also occupy the same rotational position at any given time.
8 Claims. (01.10'1m177) I It is apparent that the amount of l working space between adjacent units in such a press will depend at least partly upon the diameters of the cylinders, there being more working space in a press having large cylinders than in a press havign small cylinders. Thus, a press having small cylinders designed for printing on relatively small sheets may not provide sufiicient space between units for the operator to conveniently and eniciently perform his necessary duties.
I have found that additional working space between units, as compared to the space provided by the known construction described above, can be provided by a new arrangement of the printing units while still substantially retaining the desirable features above referred to.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet fed multicolor printing press having increased working space between units.
Another object of the invention is the provision in a multicolor oflfset printing press of increased space between units, wherein .the plate cylinders of the various units all occupy the same angular position at any given time. 1
Another object is the provision of such a press in which the cylinders of each unit are disposed at the points of a triangle, and in which the triangles are similar but are disposed in different angular positions relative to the base line of the press.
Still another object is the provision of a press of the type described in which sheets are conveyed from one impression cylinder to the next by a transfer cylinder having twice the diameter of the impression cylinders and in which greater space is provided between units thanin presses heretofore employing such transfer cylinders.
Other objects and features of novelty will appear as I proceed with the description of that embodiment of the invention which, for the purposes of the present application, I have illustrated in the single figure of the accompanying drawing.
In carrying out the invention I provide a press having a plurality of printing units, each comprising a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder, and an impression cylinder all of the same diameter, and I employ between the impression cylinders of adjacent units a transfer cylinder whose diameter is twice that of the impression cylinders, and which is so located that the impression cylinders all occupy the same angular position at any given time. The three cylinders of each printing unit are arranged with their axes at the points of an isosceles triangle, and the triangles of all units are identical. The blanket and plate cylinders of the press of this invention may be said to have its printing units fanned out. As will later appear, this is accomplished while retaining entire plate cylinders in the same rotational position and with very little change in the'rotational position of the blanket cylinders.
In the drawing a four color press is illustrated, the printing units thereof being designated A, B, C and D. Each unit comprises a plate cylinder III, a blanket cylinder H and an impression cylinder 12. Plate cylinder Ii] is provided with a plate .13 held in clamps l4 within a gap l5, all in the usual manner. The leading edge of the plate cylinder printing surface is indicated at Hi. The blanket cylinder H is provided with a blanket I! held by reel rods l8 within the gap IQ of that cylinder. The impression cylinder I2 is equipped with the usual sheet grippers which receive the sheet, carry it past the blanket cylinder I! where it is printed and release it at the ,proper time. The usual form inking rollers are indicated at 2|, and the dampening rollers at 22.
Sheets are fed in any desired manner to the grippers 20 of the first impression cylinder l2, for example, by means of a feed board 23 and an intermittently rotating feeding cylinder,
having grippers 25.
Between the impression cylinders 12 of units A and B there is a transfer cylinder 26 the diameter of which is substantially twice that of the impression cylinders 12. This transfer cylinder is'provi'ded with two sets of grippers '21 and two sheet supporting surfaces 28. It is so arranged with respect to the associated impression cylinders l2 that the lines joining the centers of the impression cylinders with the center of the transfer cylinder lie at an angle of 120 with each other, thereby causing the impression cylinders to occupy the same rotational position with respect to the base line of the press.
Between the impression cylinders of units B and C is a transfer cylinder 29 similar to cylinder 26, and between the impression cylinders of units C and D there is a further transfer cylinder 30 of similar construction.
Above each of the transfer cylinders is a platform 40 upon which the operator stands while working on the plate and blanket cylinders. At the left of unit D isa platform 4| on which the operator stands while working on the cylinders of that unit.
Adjacent the impression cylinder 12 of the last unit D there is a sheet conveyor 3| comprising chains which run around sprockets 32 and carry a series of gripper bars 33 which take the sheets from-the impression cylinder and convey them .to a pile in a manner well known in the art.-
All of the printingcylinders I0, H and I2 and the transfer cylinders 26, '29 and 30 are geared together in the'usual manner, not shown, so as to rotate in unison and in the proper timed relation. I
As will be apparent the sheets are fed by feeding cylinder 24' to the impression cylinder 12 of unit A, are transferred by a transfer cylinder 26 4 to impression cylinder I2 of unit B and so on through the succeeding units, and are delivered from the last unit by conveyor 3|. The impression cylinders of all units occupy the same rotational position, as indicated in the drawing.
The three cylinders of each printing unit are arranged with their axes at the points of a triangle and the sides of this triangle are .indicated for clearness by numerals 34, 35 and 36. The triangles of all units are similar, but it will be noted that the .long side or base 34 of each triangle which connects the axes of the impression and plate cylinders, stands at a different angle to the base line of the press from the base of every other triangle, side 34 of unit A being tilted somewhat toward the feeder end of the press, side 34 of unit B bein approximately vertical, side 34 of unit C being tilted somewhat toward the delivery end of the press and side 34 of unit D being still further tilted toward the delivery end of the press. I he accumulated difference betweenthe positions of the plate cylinders of units Aand D is indicated by the letter X, this difference being divided substantially equally between the three working spaces between adjacent units, so that all of these spaces are substantially equal.
It is to be-noted that the printing surfaces of the three cylinders of any given printing unit must register with each other during rotation of the cylinders, that is the leading edges and trailing edges of these printing surfaces must come together at the proper time in the cycle, and this condition must be satisfied regardless of the an- ;gular position of the printing unit with respect to the centerof its impression cylinder. Thus it is evident. that-if the impression cylinder of a unit is held ,fiXBd and the plate and blanket cylinders are bodily swung about the axis of the impression cylinder, the blanket cylinder I I must in effect roll upon the impression cylinder l2, and the plate cylinder 10 must roll in the opposite direction upon the blanket cylinder ll. Thus, regardless of how much or how little the plate and blanket cylinder are swung about the axis of the impression cylinder, the leading edge of plate cylinder [0 will always remain in the same position. This fact is shown in the drawing wherein the leading-edge l6 of each of the plate cylinders I0 is shown as coinciding with a vertical line through the center of the plate cylinder even though the units are arranged in different angular positions.
The blanket cylinders H of the different units will of course occupy slightly different rotational positions as shown in the drawing, but the difference is not great. Thus it is seen that the printing units are arranged in different positionsso as to provide increased workin space between units while at the same time all the plate cylinders are kept in the same rotational position and the blanket cylinders are only slightly disturbed so thatsimilar operations may be performed on all the units at the same time.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
