Abstract
A method of forming and varying size and/or location of pass-through openings in a table top of a feed table of a sheet-fed printing press includes providing a plurality of adjustable table-top elements, and varying the position of the table-top elements with respect to the table top of the feed table; and a feed having a device for performing the method.
Claims9
Method of forming and varying at least one of size and location of a pass-through opening extending transversely to a sheet-feeding direction in a table top of a feed table of a sheet-fed printing press, which comprises providing a plurality of adjustable table-top elements disposed transversely to the sheet-feeding direction at the pass-through opening, and varying the position of the table-top elements with respect to the table top of the feed table.
Feed table of a sheet-fed printing press, comprising a table top formed with a pass-through opening therein extending transversely to a travel direction in which sheets are fed along the table, a plurality of juxtaposed adjustable table-top elements respectively disposed at said pass-through opening and, in a first position thereof, closing said pass-through opening, and actuating means for moving said table-top elements out of said first position thereof and into a second position thereof wherein said pass-through opening is open.
Feed table of a sheet-fed printing press, comprising a table top formed with a pass-through opening therein extending transversely to a travel direction in which sheets are fed along the table, a plurality of juxtaposed adjustable table-top elements, in a first position thereof, closing said pass-through opening and actuating means for moving said table-top elements out of said first position thereof and into a second position thereof wherein said pass-through opening is open, said actuating means comprising an actuating member common to said plurality of table-top elements, and respective energy-storage mechanisms for resiliently connecting each of said table-top elements to said actuating member, said actuating member being a driven actuating shaft, said actuating shaft being disposed below said table top and extending transversely to said travel direction of the sheets, each of said table-top elements being fastened at a respective edge portion thereof axially to said actuating shaft, said energy-storage mechanisms comprising respective torsion springs braced against.
