A blanket to be mounted on a blanket cylinder includes a blanket body and two band sheets serving as reinforcing members and attached to corresponding parallel, opposite end portions of the blanket body across a width of the end portions. One of the band sheets is attached only to one end portion of the blanket body and only on a side of the blanket body which comes into contact with the blanket cylinder when the blanket is mounted on the blanket cylinder. The other band sheet is longitudinally folded in two and is attached to the other end portion of the blanket body such that the other end portion is sandwiched therebetween and the other band sheet has a substantially same thickness on each side of the other end portion.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a blanket-mounting mechanism for mounting a blanket onto a blanket cylinder of an offset press, as well as to a blanket.
2. Description of the Related Art
Various other objects, features and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a blanket-mounting mechanism of a blanket cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partially sectional view taken along line II—II of FIG. 1;
An embodiment of the present invention will next be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a blanket W as shown in FIG. 8 is mounted onto a blanket cylinder P of a printing unit of a printing press by means of a blanket-mounting mechanism S. As shown in FIG. 8, band sheets 23 and 34 serving as reinforcing members are attached to parallel, opposite end portions 21 and 22, respectively, across the width of the blanket W.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blanket cylinder P includes a thick-walled hollow cylinder body 1 and shaft members 2 and 3 attached to the corresponding opposite end portions of the cylinder body 1. A flange-shaped bearer 4 (5) having a diameter slightly larger than that of the cylinder body 1 is formed on an axially central portion of the shaft member 2 (3). One end portion of the shaft member 2 (3) is fixedly fitted into the hollow portion of the cylinder body 1 such that the bearer 4 (5) abuts the end face of the cylinder body 1 while the other end portion of the shaft member 2 (3) projects, thereby forming a journal.
