Abstract
A device for conveying signatures from a gripper cylinder to a folding cylinder comprises, in a free gap formed between the two cylinders, a supporting element supporting a plate which can be pivoted about a fulcrum, the plate rotatably supporting a signature guiding body having an oval cross-section and extending through the width of the cylinders, the body being covered, on a side thereof facing the cylinders, by a low friction web.
Claims6
A signature guiding device arranged in a free gap formed between a signature feeding gripper cylinder and a signature removing and folding cylinder, characterized in that in said free gap between said two cylinders a supporting element is arranged, said supporting element supporting a pivotable plate which can be pivoted about a fulcrum, and that said pivotable plate rotatably supports a signature guiding body having an oval cross-section and extending through a width of said cylinders, said guiding body having a side thereof facing said cylinders and covered by a low friction web,
- wherein said supporting element supports an adjusting mechanism including a worm screw having a contoured end portion to be engaged by an operating wrench, that said worm screw drives a gear wheel which, by a tube or drum body, is rigid with an end portion of a guiding web partially encompassing said oval cross-section body and that an end portion of said guiding web is locked by a locking device rigid with the supporting construction.
