Abstract
Abstract A printing locator and method for a printing system having a roll on which dies are to be placed individually, including a locating mechanism movable axially of the roll for selecting an axial position on the roll. The locating mechanism is movable into position where a guide member extension attached thereto engages the surface of the roll at a selected circumferential location on the roll. The guide member is provided with an indicator identifying the selected axial location so an individual die can be abutted up against the guide member in proper axial and circumferential position on the roll.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for properly locating individual dies on a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along the roll by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position around the roll by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism axially along the roll until aligned with a selected one of the axial representative indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the roll with an edge of a guide member extension parallel to the axis of the roll, rotating the roll relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said circumferential representing indicia, and placing a die on the roll with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper circumferential positioning and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of said axial indicia to effect proper axial positioning of the die.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for properly locating individual dies on a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along the roll by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position around the roll by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism axially along the roll until aligned with a selected one of the axial representative indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the roll with an edge of a guide member extension parallel to the axis of the roll, rotating the roll relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said circumferential representing indicia, and placing a die on the roll with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper circumferential positioning and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of said axial indicia to effect proper axial positioning of the die.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1 including the steps of sliding said locating mechanism along a carrying member disposed adjacent to the roll and having said axial indicia thereon until said mechanism is aligned with a selected one of the indicia on said member.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
167 words
A method for properly locating the position of individual dies on a surface adapted to be used as a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism axially relative to said axial indicia until aligned with a selected one of said axial indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the surface with an edge of a guide member extension, moving the surface relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said circumferential representing indicia, and placing a die on the surface with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper positioning and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of said axial indicia to effect proper axial positioning of the die.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
167 words
A method for properly locating the position of individual dies on a surface adapted to be used as a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism axially relative to said axial indicia until aligned with a selected one of said axial indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the surface with an edge of a guide member extension, moving the surface relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said circumferential representing indicia, and placing a die on the surface with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper positioning and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of said axial indicia to effect proper axial positioning of the die.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
177 words
A method for properly locating individual dies on a surface adapted to be used as a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism relative to one of said position representative indicia until aligned with a selected one of said position representative indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the surface with an edge of a guide member extension, moving the surface relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said other position representing indicia, and placing a die on the roll with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper positioning thereof with respect to either of said indicia and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of the other of said indicia to effect proper positioning of the die.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
177 words
A method for properly locating individual dies on a surface adapted to be used as a printing roll including the steps of selecting an axial location along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, selecting a circumferential position along said surface by reference to indicia representative thereof, moving a locating mechanism relative to one of said position representative indicia until aligned with a selected one of said position representative indicia, rotating said locating mechanism to contact the surface with an edge of a guide member extension, moving the surface relative to the guide member until said guide member edge is superposed on a selected one of said other position representing indicia, and placing a die on the roll with one edge of the die abutted against said guide member edge to effect proper positioning thereof with respect to either of said indicia and with a preselected mark on the die aligned with a point on said guide member representative of the selected one of the other of said indicia to effect proper positioning of the die.
