Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 5113. Elmore's Metall-Akt.-Ges., and Preschlin, P. E. March 3, 1911, [Convention date]. Rotary machines; tripping-arrangements.-A rotary machine for printing on webs of fabric or paper is so constructed that prints in correct register may be obtained from engraved or other printing-cylinders varying slightly in size and driven at the same angular speed. Tension rollers act on the web to restore the web to normal position when one of the printing- cylinders has been automatically raised in order to free the web, the tripping of the cylinder taking place while the margins are passing through the printing - devices. As shown, a web from a reel H is printed by printing- rollers B, A, of which the roller A is of slightly greater diameter. The rollers B, A are geared together positively. The web passes over a pair of tension rollers C, C' mounted on a slide or on arms M, M<1> connected by a link N and normally held by a spring K in such a position that the arm M' contacts with an adjustable stop D. During the printing operation the increased tension of the web moves the rollers C, C' to the positions shown by dotted lines, but these rollers are returned to normal position when the impression roller E is allowed to rise under the action of a spring L. This takes place when a flat part G of a roller F, driven in unison with the rollers A, B, comes above the roller E which is normally depressed by the roller F. In a modification, the roller E is raised by a cam on the printing-roller acting on a spring-controlled lever in which the roller E is mounted. The arrangement may be modified when the cylinder A is the smaller by causing the roller C, C<1> to be movable in the other direction ; or the roller A' may be automatically tripped instead of the roller G.

Filed: 1912-11-12
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 25,930. Miehle, R. Nov. 12. Tripping - arrangements.-Relates to mechanism for raising and lowering the impression cylinder of printing-machines, particularly applicable to two-revolution cylinder machines. The cylinder 2 is mounted in bearings 3 which slide between standards 1 on the main frame and carry depending rods 4, which at their lower ends are screwed into blocks 5. The rods 4 a r e surrounded b y springs 7 tending normally to raise the cylinder. The cylinder is lowered intermittently to make an impression by toggles consisting of blocks 11, bearing on spherical seats at the lower end of adjustable bolts 8, and on toggle-levers 12 seated in recesses in the blocks 5. The toggle-lever 12 is connected to a link 13, by which it can be rocked between the adjustable stops 38, 38'. In the latter position, the toggle is slightly over the centre-line so as to resist printing pressure. The link 13 is operated by a rocking arm 14 on a shaft 15, in which is mounted a roller 18 adapted to engage a cam 19, but capable of being moved out of engagement therewith by the treadle mechanism. Loose on the shaft 15 is a rocking cam 23. in which engages a stud 24 on the short shaft 17, which carries the roller 18 and is capable of sliding axially to move the roller into and out of engagement with the cam 19. The cam 23 is connected by a rod 25 to an arm 26 on the shaft 27, which carries also a second arm 28 pivoted to a rod 29 on which is slidably mounted a treadle 32. Between the treadle, which can be locked beneath the platform 34, and a collar 30 is a spring 31 in compression. A spring 37 tends to raise the arm 28, the motion being limited by a lug 35 contacting with a stop 36. In operation, when the cylinder is raised, the roller 18 is in the part c of the groove on the cam 19, which is widened so that the collar fits loosely therein. If the treadle 32 is depressed, the spring 31 moves the cam 23 and withdraws the roller 18 from the cam 19, so that the cylinder remains tripped. Should the treadle 32 be depressed. when the roller 18 is in the portions a, b of the cam, the spring 31 is not sufficiently strong to overcome the friction of the parts, so that the cam 23 does not move until the roller 18 enters the part c of the cam 19. The spring 31 then moves the cam 23 and withdraws the roller 18, leaving the cylinder tripped during the next impression.
