Claim:
A device for pressing a dressing against a cylinder of a printing press comprising: a plurality of pressing elements supported adjacent the cylinder, at least one of said pressing elements being engageable with one of a plurality of dressings arranged side-by-side in an axial direction of the cylinder independently of other ones of said plurality of pressing elements, each said pressing element being embodied as a rolling element; a support for each one of said plurality of pressing elements, each said support being embodied as an elastically bendable body; and an actuating means associated with each said support, each said actuating means being adapted to be charged with a pressure medium, each said actuating means, upon actuation, being operable to deflect an associated one of said supports to place said rolling element carried by said support against a dressing on the cylinder by elastic bending of said support, each said support, upon an end of said actuation, moving said supported rolling element away from the cylinder.
