IMPROVEMENTS IN CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINES to be as follows:-
Year: 1886

page_text: I, FREDERICK PAYNE of the firm of Payne and Sons of Otley, Yorkshire,
Machine Makers do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINES to be as follows:-
"
This invention has reference to a new combination and arrangement of mechanism,
comprising in one machine the single revolution perfecting machine with the two
revolution perfecting machine.
According to any invention I arrange that the feed board is in connection with
the one revolution cylinder which is supplied with grippers for seizing hold of the
sheet and rolling it upon the type to be printed. After this, which is the first or
inner "forme" impression the sheet is carried forward some distance when the
grippers release their hold of the sheet which is immediately seized hold of by
grippers connected to the two revolution cylinder and carried forward down and
receives the second or outer "forme" impression.
After the second impression is made the sheet is carried forward by the outer
forme" cylinder to a point about the top thereof where the grippers release their
hold of the sheet which is at once seized hold of by the grippers on a flyer drum
and transferred to an.. adjoining drum and tapes, where it is, received by a flyer
and delivered upon a delivery board in the ordinary manner.
In combination with the arrangement above described I am enabled to place
say, two inking rollers in connection with the inner "forme" cylinder, and say-
four inking rollers in connection with the outer "forme" cylinder which arrangement
of inking rollers (as will be well understood) is a very desirable object to attain,
because the best rolling is thereby given to the outer "forme" with its blocks
which are always understood to require more perfect rolling than the type of the
inner "forme."

page_text: I, FREDERICK PAYNE, of the firm of Payne and Sons, of Otley, Yorkshire
Machine Makers, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN CYLINDER PRINTING MACHINES" and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has reference to a new combination and arrangement of mechanism
comprising in one niachine the single revolution perfecting machine, with the two
revolution perfecting machine.
According to my invention I arrange that the feed board is in connection with
the one revolution cylinder, which is supplied with grippers for seizing hold of the
sheet and rolling it upon the type to be printed. After this, which is the first ór
inner forme impression, the sheet is carried forward some distance when the
grippers release their hold of the sheet which is immediately seized hold of by
grippers connected to the two revolution cylinder and carried forward down and
receives the second or outer forme impression.
After the second impression is made the sheet is carried forward by the outer
"forme" cylinder to a point about the top thereof, where the grippers release their
hold of the sheet which is at once seized hold of by the grippers on a flyer drum,
and transferred to an adjoining drum and tapes where it is received by a flyer and
delivered upon a delivery board in the ordinary manner.
In order that this invention may be better understood I herein make reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings which illustrate a cylinder printing machine
combined and arranged according to my invention. A is framing of machine,
B the one revolution cylinder, and C the feed board employed in connection there-
with. In combination with the one revolution cylinder B, I employ a two
revolution cylinder D, and fly drum E, together with drum F and tapes a, in
conjunction with a flyer G. The inking table for the one revolution cylinder is
shewn at H, and the inking table for the two revolution cylinder is shewn at I.
The operation of the parts is as follows. The paper is fed from the feed board C,
and is taken therefrom by grippers b, carried by the one revolution cylinder, the
said paper being rolled upon the forme H, where it receives the first or inner forme
impression. The grippers b then release their hold of the paper, but it is at once
seized by grippers c on the two revolution cylinder D, the said paper being carried
around in the direction of the arrow d, when it receives the second or outer forme
impression. The paper is now carried by the cylinder D to a position over its
centre, when the grippers thereon release their hold, but only to be seized by
grippers e on the fly drum E, which carries the said paper to, and transfers it onto
the tapes a, where it is ultimately received by the flyer G and placed upon the
delivery board J.
In combination with the arrangement above described I am enabled to place,
say, two inking rollers K in connection with the inner "forme" cylinder B, and
say, four inking rollers L in connection with the outer "forme" cylinder D, which
pass clean over their respective formes; such arrangement of inking rollers (as will

page_text: be well understood) is a very desirable object to attain, because the best rolling is
thereby given to the outer "forme "I with its blocks, which are always understood
to require more rolling than the inner "forme."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In a cylinder printing machine the employment of the one revolution cylinder B
and feed board C, in combination with a two revolution cylinder as set forth and
shewn in the drawings.
