To et! yzr/lomy it Imay concern:
Be it known that ll, llnxnr F. Bncnniis, olI Battle Creek, in the count); of talhoun and State ol i\lichigaii, have invented certain new and usel'ul improvements in llotary (lrlinder ll'eb lerl'ectiir;r Printinglresses; and l hereb)v declare that the iollowiny; is a l'ull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference beingl had to the aeeom panying drawings, which l'orm part of this speeiliczttion.
'.lhis invention is an improvement in rotar)Y cylinder web perfectingy printiimr presses olI the type shown in my latent Xo. rit-hlt), dated March t5, 1906'. and the object ol this ini'ention is to construct n single section perlecting; press,- haring but two type cylinders `and two co-actinsv impression cylinders, capable ol printing' newspapers oll las man3' as twenty pngres ot ortflinary newspaper sii/ie, at each operation ofthe press, And to thisl end the invention comprises a single rotar)Y perfecting mechanism, in whicl the c \,f'linders are arranged parallel, in substantially the same plane7 side by side. cngtudinallyol the press and means l'or directing two webs nt same speed between such c xf'linders, and assembling such webs at the l'older.
The peculiar noticeable features 0l the press being iirst7 the unusual length olI the cylinders, cach plete cylinder being capable ol t-,ariyinfT as many :is ten lull page plates arranged in two rows, ol live plates each, on opposite sides ol` the cylinder; second-two webs are employed in printing pepers ol' more/ than twelve pages, and one. web il printing less than twelve pages; 'third-the twelve-page web is divided before reaching the folder; and fourth-the printed webs are all assembled at a folder et one end of the press. All the parts ot such press are accessible. from thel ilo'or, and the plate-s can be put on or removed from the plate cylinders by pressmcn standing on the lloor beside the press 3' the impression cylimlers can also be puclicd from the sides ot' the press g the inhing mechanisms are readil;Y accessible; und the printed webs are simpl)v given a quarterturn over angle bin-s and led direct to the folder. vThe press can be used to produce newspapers ol an)v sizeI up to twenty newspaper psg-es, m multiples ol two or four; for eight pages or less und lor twelve pages s single.. web can be used; and for ten pages,
or over twelve pages, two webs can be used.
The invention will be further explained in. detail with reference to the accompanying' drawings, in whichm Figure l is s perspective view ol the complete press und folder, looliiinc,r from the oilside of the press. Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic transverse vertical section through. such press. Fig. 1% is a detail side elevation thereot with the inh fountains und duetor rolls removed, looking from the in-eed side el press, and Fig. 4 is a detail plan View show into the mode el assemblingl the printed webs.
rthe press hss two plate cylinders i, E, and two impression cylinders la, 2", respectively leo-aeting with the plate eylinderr-i; said c, inders are all prel'erzlbqv arranged in sul stantially the same horizentnl plaine; und extend longitudinalljvl of the press, being journuled in bearings en the end castings il ol" the main l'ranie as shown, and een be easily 7,5

being arranged in two groups, t forms in one group, and three forms in the other i the groups of Iforms being; septtrxrted further than the marginal spaces between the ic'ornis Thus in Fig. 3 the three lett-hund fo a one group, and the 'two riwjht'flnrnd ifo n anotl group. .1. tese groups nre sensi by :t space S wider thorn the nier i iat s between. the. forms in the groei wide spsee S enables two webs to run side by side tlirm'r'h 'the press, and sllo'tvs eis/ir l have s proper i ,0in et their scent without overlapping.
lenczitl euch plate cylinder is :in inling mechanism ib, 2b, indicated in Fig com prising an inl; drum, foei ein, duet ir rolls, distributing rollers, and forni rollers, pretersbly constructed substantially shown end described in .my iiteut No. U S QR, June l2, i906, and requiring no de scription herein. Above the cylinders, three angle bars 3, 3, which are set ut an angle of' s degrees to the cyli-ne end are uttsclied to a bsr im supported on tl enti castings oi" the fress The webs L', are led from roll w", et one side o` pressenti-' roll, i

` il) runs l' and el).
three wide, and web w, two pages wide, vso theft wnen run together, as in Figs. l and el, the two we wide as the rows of plate forms on the cylinders plus the margins.
Assuming that a twenty-pagepaper is to be produced, each plate cylinder l, 2, will carry ten page-forms P arranged thereon in two rows, live page-forms l? in a row and the webs lll? and w will be used, as indicated in Figs. 2 and The webs are led in fronfthe rolls 'to and 4under a guide e below the cylinders, telen up over a guide da to and between the cylinders l, l?, then down between the impression cylinders la, 2', then/up between cylinders 2, 2, to and over a guide 1lb. lVeb tu is then carried to and turned oyerangle-bar '3 and led therefrom longitudinally of the press to the former *l of the folding mechanism 5 at the end of the press, said foldin mechanism being a rotary folder of the well known type by which the papers can be folded to halt or quarter and delivered from the press indicated in Fig. l.
QThe web Vf, is slitted longitudinally as it passes over roller All, by a rotary slitter 6 which separates a strip W one page vin width, rointhe other portion of web lV. The main part of web TW 1s led to angle-bar 3, given a quartcnturn thereover, bringing it parallel, with the web zu, and 'vassed to the former 5a', :g where it is assembler with web w and passesy ,on to the folder 5. The otherpart lWX of web W is led to angle bar 3b, 'given a quarter turn thereover, and brought parallel with webs W, w, and led to former 5, and passed into the folder. The narrow web l/VX passes down one side or' the former, as indicated in e, and is inclosed within the fold oilfweb W made by the iorrner, and wleb W is in closed within the fold ofweb w, inade by ther2 former, so that onepage-wide web VJX is inclosed withii the twopagewide webs fw. The press sy be equipped with silitable means to paste the inner 'margin of the and cause tliein to adhere when folded; is well understood. The webs may be assisted over roll 4b, by nieans of pinching rollers ed, running in the marginal spaces, as shown in YFig. l. Before reaching thefr'ormer V 5a webs 'w may belooped overfan adjustable roller 17, as indicated in Fig. l., so that proper register of the printed pages on the various we can be bt ined.
' i are geared to run. et same peiip speed, and the various web guiding devices, and folding mechanisms, end irring devices are geared up to be driven in ,per time, to handle the web, and papers, these features beingwell understood and 'y mechanical features ol construction to all press builders, require no detailed explanation or illustration.
lt is preferable to employ two Webs as de- .'.bed because of the exceptional width of i rows dtvslforms on the cylinders (5 pages wide) and it would be difficult, and costly to obtain single webs of such width, and the rolls would be tro/ublesoine to handle. The web W is ordinarily 56.25 inches wide; and web w is 34.25 inches wide. The two webs together being 90.50 inches wide. Furthermore by usin two webs as described less paper has to e kept in stock and greater llex'ibility is oli/aimed, for if it be desired to produce only 'Yghlhpage papers, web w alone can be 'used 'if only twelve-page papers, web W alone can be used; for l-page papers, two webs fw can be used. The narrower-Webs are also easier to'handle endless expensive" than the wide webs. .80 When printing twenty age papers as above described, the press will be run on the collecting method; that is-every page `form on each cylinder willv be dil'i'erent, and thus as each plate cylinder can carry' ten pageforms the maximum capacity oi the pressv is 'one twenty-page newspaper at each operation or for each. rotation of the plate cylinders. li the press be operated on the non-collecting method-to wit the rows of plates on each cylinder being duplicates,-. or each cylinder'carrying two duplicate sets of plates-the maximum capacity of the press would then be two ten-page, newspapers at each operation ci the press-or for each rotation or" the plate cylinders. These two methods ol arranging the forms are well known, and does not aliect the operation or speed oi the machine, but simply the size of 'the vpapers reduced. D lo Having djescribed my invention what l claim as new and desire to secure by rLetters Patent is: p
l. ln a rotary printing press the combination of two plate cylinders and two coacting im ression cylinders all extending longitudina y of the press and arranged close together with the plate' cylindersouterinost, each plate cylinder adapted to carry rows of five newspaperepage forms arranged in two llo groups, two forms in onegroup and .three in the other; a folder adjacent one end of said cylinders, guides for directing a wide and a narrow web between the cylinders to be perfected thereby, a slitter for the wider web and angle bars and guides for deecting the narrow web and the two parte of the wide web and directing same to the folder. 2. ln a rotary printing press the combination ol two plelecylinders and two co-acting 120 im )ression cylinders all extending longitudinally of the press and close together and arranged in substantially the seme plane with thev plate cylinders outermost, each plate-cylinder adapted to carry rows of five 125 newspaper-page forms arranged in two groups, two forms in one group and three in the other; a folder adjacent said cylinders guides for directing two Webs ofpaper of different widthside by side between, the 130 sedes() cylinders to be perfected by the respective groups of forms thereon, a slitter for the wide web adapted to sever one page width i therefrom and angle bars and guides fori de'liectingJ the narrow web and the two parts l of the wide web and directing them to the l folder. i
3. In a rotary printing press the eoinbinafl tion of two plate cylinders and two impres-` sion cylinders arranged side by side in substantially the same plane and extending lonl gitudinally of the press each plate cylinder l adapted to carry ten newspaper-page forms arranged in tvo rows, live page-forms in each row arranged in groups of two and three forms; with a older having its cylinders in axial parallelism with the plate and inipres sion cylinders, guides for directing' 'a wide and a narrow web of paper between the plate and im iression eylinders to be perfected, means ier slitting` the wide printed web, three angle bars above the cylinders for assembling the narrow and slit webs, and guides for directing theasseinbled webs to the folder.
