Abstract
A device for use in a rotary printing machine having at least one printing mechanism including a plate cylinder which can be releasably mounted on a shaft carrying the plate cylinder. The plate cylinder and the shaft can be oriented both axially and also in the peripheral direction relative to the shaft and thus relative to the article to be printed. When the plate cylinder and the shaft are oriented as desired, the plate cylinder is capable of being fixedly attached to the shaft. The plate cylinder can be fixed in the peripheral direction and in the axial direction.

A device for use in a rotary printing machine having at least one printing mechanism which includes:
- a shaft having located thereon, a means for adjusting the orientation of a plate cylinder, said means for adjusting including a plurality of adjusting bolts having a conically tapering portion;
- and
- a plate cylinder releasably mounted on the shaft, said plate cylinder having a means for positioning;
- said means for adjusting adapted to engage the means for positioning so as to control the location of the plate cylinder with respect to the shaft, said means for positioning having a plurality of projections in contact with said conically tapering portion so as to adjust the position of the plate cylinder with respect to the shaft.
A device for use in a rotary printing machine having at least one printing mechanism which includes:
- a collar fixedly mounted on a shaft;
- a plate cylinder releasably mounted on the shaft;
- a first and second adjusting bolt disposed within said collar;
- a first and second projection partially disposed within said plate cylinder and extending from the plate cylinder towards the collar;
- said first projection in contact with a conically tapering portion of said first adjusting bolt so as to enable positioning of the plate cylinder in the peripheral direction;
- and
- said second projection in contact with a conically tapering portion of said second adjusting bolt so as to enable positioning of the plate cylinder in the peripheral direction.
