Abstract:
1. An apparatus for removably securing a cutting component on a cutting component cylinder of a web printing press, the apparatus comprising: a first axial anvil member disposed at a periphery of the cutting component cylinder; a second axial anvil member disposed at the periphery of the cutting component cylinder opposite the first anvil member, the first and second anvil members being configured for receiving the cutting component therebetween; and a locking device configured for positively securing the cutting component on the cutting component cylinder in a lock mode and positively releasing the cutting component in a release mode; the first and second anvil members being configured for clamping the cutting component therebetween in the lock mode; the locking device including a turnable eccentric member configured for urging at least a portion of the second anvil member toward the first anvil member so as to achieve the lock mode in a first angular position of the eccentric member and for permitting at least the portion of the second anvil member to move away from the first anvil member so as to achieve the release mode in a second angular position of the eccentric member; wherein, in a third angular position of the eccentric member between the first and the second angular positions, at least the portion of the second anvil member is closer to the first anvil member than when the eccentric member is in the first angular position.
