GRIPPER BAR MECHANISM Filed March 26, 1947 AJaxqnder J AJbrE/abz INVENTOR Patented Dec. 2, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GRIPPER BAR MEOHAN ISM Alexander J. Albrecht, West New York, N. J., as-

6 Claims.
This invention relates to printing machines and more particularly to sheet fed machines of the flexible conveyor type.
A sheet fed printing machine of the flexible conveyor type, and to which the present improvements may be applied, is fully described in Huck Patent 2,231,914.. As there disclosed, the successive sheets are carried through the printing uni-ts by gripper bars having a number of gripper elements or jaws which open and close to receive a sheet at the registering unit anddischarge a sheet at the delivery, but which remain closed during the passage of the sheetthrough the'successive printing units.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved gripper bar and mechanism for opening and closing the gripper elements thereof. v
A further object ofthe invention is to provide an improved device for holding a sheet adjacent its corners. Y
. With these and still 'other objects which will appear in the following full description in mind, the invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts and details of construction which will now first be fully described in connection with the accompanying drawing. and then be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing: I
Figure 1 is a crosssection througha gripper barand parts of a registering cylinder;
Figure 2 is a plan view of one. end of the gripper bar of Fi ure 1;' V
Figure 3 is a plan view on a reduced scale of one end of the gripper bar and registering cylinder;
Figure 4 is a detail view showing an attachment employed for holding down a sheet corner; and
Figure '5 is a section on the line 55 of Figure 4.
The invention relates to the gripper bar and the mechanism employed for opening and closing the jaws thereof. The other press elements and their operation and cooperation with th gripper bar are well known in themselves, being fully described in the Huck patent above referredto and, accordingly, are not shown herein.
Figure 1 shows a portion of a registering cylin.--
der l having a recess 2 in which the gripper bar 3 is received. As will be well understood by those skilled. in the art, the gripper bar will be seated in the recess 2 at a proper point in the rotation of the registering cylinder and. the mechanism within and associated with the cylinder will operate to open and close the jaws of the gripper for receiving and grasping a registered sheet. Heretofore, and as shown in the Huck patent, the gripper bars have comprised a plurality-of elements extending longitudinally of the registering cylinder and to which a relative movement is imparted for the purpose of controlling the action of gripper jaws associated therewith. Such elements have taken the form of telescoped tubes, one jaw of each gripper being carried by an outer tube, and the other by the inner tube, so that relative movement of these tubes causes the jaws to open and close. Such a construction is rela-. tively heavy, complicated and bulky and theaction of the registering cylinder upon ths ripper bar may have a tendency to unseat the gripper 'bar.
The gripper bar of the present invention com-1 prises a single longitudinally extending element in the form of a tube 4 which carriesa number of gripper elements 5 spaced along its lengthat suitable intervals. Each gripper element 5 comprises a frame 6 which is fastened to the tube 4 as by means of thescrews 1 and upon which is form-ed an inneror; lower jaw 80f a pair; of gripper jaws. The outer or upper jaw 9 cooperating therewith. is carried by a lever 10 which is slotted as indicated to fit around the frame 6 and pivotally mounted thereon by a shaft H. the lever l0 counterclockwise about shaft ll separates or opens the jaws 8 and 9, while swinging it clockwise into the position of the figure causes the jaws to close for grasping a sheet. The lever in is operated by a poppet bar I 2, one end of which is connected to the inner or lower end of the lever It by a link l3, having forks at each end which. are pivotally connected to the rod l2 and lever l0. and [5 for accommodating the poppet rod [-2 and associated elements. The aperture l4 receives a thrust member I6 which surrounds the rod [2 and within which the rod [2 slides, while the aperture. i5 is threaded and receives a corre spondingly threaded thrust member l-T, also hav- Swinging The tube 4 has opposed apertures Mling a central aperture through which the rod I2 slides. A washer I8 is fastened to the rod I2 and inner and outer springs I9 and are interposed between the washer I8 and thrust membe IS. The spring pressure holds the thrust member I6 in the position shown, in which a, peripheral fiange thereon seats in a counterbore in the inner surface of the tube 4, as indicated, tending to force the washer I8 against the fixed thrust member IT. A sheet of paper between the jaws 8 and 9 will be held firmly thereby due to the action of the springs I9 and 20 and washer I8 will be slightly spaced from the thrust member I! under such conditions. As will be apparent, a definite gripper pressure is thus obtained by each gripper 5, and this pressure will not be influenced by the action of any of the other grippers 5.
The gripper bar is located in a definite position in the registering cylinder by rollers ZI rotatably mounted on a plate 22 fastened to the registering cylinder and cooperating with bearer rings 23 toward the ends of the gripper bar. At each end of the gripper bar there is fastened an end frame assembly 24 carrying a roller 25 which cooperates with an upper cam track, the surface of which is indicated by the phantom line 26, for holding the gripper bar firmly down against the rollers 2 I. The end frame assemblies 24 carry also rollers 2'! and 28 for positioning the gripper bar in cylinder I, in the manner shown in the Huck patent. A flexible conveyor in the form of a sprocket chain 29 at each end of the gripper bar serves to carry the bar to and from the various units in the usual way.
The various grippers 5 are operated by a series of fingers 36 carried by a shaft 3|, which is journaled in the registering cylinder I and one end of which carries an arm 32 and cam follower roller 33, indicated in phantom in Figure l, the roller 33 following a stationary cam 34 afiixed to the frame and a portion of which is also indicated in Figure l. The solid line position of the fingers 38 in the drawing of Figure l is an intermediate position in which the fingers are just engaging the poppet rods I2 for opening the jaws 8 and 9. A box cam 3 is designed to move the fingers 39 into a more outward position indicated by the phantom line 3% for providing space for the insertion and removal of the gripper bar and into a more inward position, indicated by the phantom outline 38 for pressing the poppet rods I2 to open the gripper jaws. The operation of the cam and the control of the times of opening and closing of the gripper bar jaws may be the same as in the Huck patent referred to.
With the sheets of certain sizes it may happen that a sheet, when in laterally registered position, will extend sufficiently far beyond the last gripper element of the series which engages its forward end so as to create a possibility of the free corner of the sheet turning upwards and becoming bent so as to spoil the appearance of the sheet and interfere with the printing action. For holding down such a free corner, there is provided an attachment in the form of an offset finger mounted on an extending end 35 of the shaft I I associated with the gripper in question. The finger 35 is held on shaft II by screw 3? and is coupled to the movable jaw 9 by means of a pin 38 so as to move therewith. The finger 35 will not grip the sheet but will hold its corner down on the cylinder.
It will be understood that while a shaft 3 I with its gripper operating fingers 3e and cam roller 33 is herein shown only in connection with a registering cylinder, such as the cylinder 13 of Patent 2,231,914, it is also used on a discharge cylinder that passes the sheets to a delivery such as the transfer chain 29 of the machine shown in the patent. In that machine, each of the gripper bars, of which there are nineteen in a four-unit machine, is provided with gripper operating mechanism, whereas with the improved gripper bar herein disclosed, gripper operating mechanism is required only on the registering cylinder and on the discharge cylinder.
