US 5,323,706 A · Printing press discharge apparatus for mimeograph printing machine

Abstract

Discharging of used printing presses is executed in a narrow space of a mimeograph printing machine body, both simply and cheaply. A pair of rollers convey a used printing press peeled off from a plate cylinder. A press receiving plate swings by 180.degree. around an axis. It receives the printing press conveyed by the pair of rollers at a first position thereof and further conveys the same by its swinging activity toward a second position. A discharge box collects and allows piling of the used printing presses conveyed by the press receiving plate. It is disposed at the end of the conveying path and below the second position of the press receiving plate. The press receiving plate thereby performs both swinging activity around the axis to convey the used printing presses toward the discharge box and compresses the same to increase the number of the printing presses to be discharged therein.
