Abstract
A printing apparatus of the type capable of printing on both sides of a paper supplied thereto is improved by enabling simple operation through the use of a single operating lever. Adjustment devices allow simple vertical and transversely adjustment of the plate cylinders with respect to the paper position. After printing is effected, the operating lever is shifted stepwise from the printing position to a starting position through intermediate positions wherein blanket cleaning and plate ejection functions are effected. Changeover between single and two-sided printing is easily effected by a simple switch operation.
Claims11
A perfecting press, comprising;
- a first rubber cylinder, a first plate cylinder movable toward and away from said first rubber cylinder, a second rubber cylinder also serving as an impression cylinder, a second plate cylinder movable toward and away from said second rubber cylinder, a paper feeder, a paper discharger, a first moistening device, a first inking device, a first blanket cleaning device, a second moistening device, a second inking device, a second blanket cleaning device, a first plate feeder, a first plate ejection device, a second plate feeder, a second plate ejection device, a first and a second image adjusting device, an operating lever device, and a second printing control device, said first image adjusting device comprising means for rotating said first plate cylinder, including a gear transmission, for enabling vertical adjustment, and for causing said first plate cylinder to slide axially for enabling transverse adjustment, said second image adjustment device comprising means for rotating said second rubber and plate cylinders, including a second gear transmission, for enabling vertical adjustment, and for moving a paper aligning mechanism on a feeder board transversely for enabling transverse adjustment, said operating lever device comprising an operating lever movable to a plurality of positions by a set cam provided on an operating shaft for said lever, said lever being holdable in any of said positions, said devices being operationally associated with said cam and an arm so as to function depending on the angle of rotation of said lever, a solenoid being energized upon completion of the printing operation to cause said lever to return progressively to its initial position in accordance with the rotation of said first rubber cylinder to operate at least said blanket cleaning and plate ejection devices.
