Abstract

Abstract A lateral perforation vertical registration device for an offset press in which the position of lateral perforations formed on printing sheets can be accurately set without the need for running a number of test sheets. A lateral perforating position reading plate is provided made of a transparent material and having both lateral and vertical scales. A printing sheet is placed on the perforating position reading plate prior to printing to determine the position of lateral perforating. A vertical scale provided on the outer peripheral surface of a numbering device mounting cylinder is then adjusted relative to a fixed pointer to correspond to the value read on the reading plate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
A lateral perforation vertical registration device for an offset press comprising: a lateral perforation position reading plate made of a transparent material having a lateral scale and a vertical scale, said lateral perforation position reading plate being placed on a printing paper before lateral perforation is effected to determine a position of lateral perforation; a rotary numbering device mounting shaft carrying a numbering device; a first vertical scale mounted on said numbering device mounting shaft for indicating a perforation location; a rotary lateral perforating device mounting shaft mounted parallel to said numbering device mounting shaft; lateral perforating means having a perforating blade mounted on said lateral perforating device mounting shaft; an impression cylinder disposed between said numbering device mounting shaft and said lateral perforating device mounting shaft; a second vertical scale provided on an outer peripheral surface of said numbering device mounting shaft for indicating a numbering location; a first pointer fixedly mounted adjacent said first and second scales; and a second pointer fixedly mounted adjacent said lateral perforating means, the position of the first and second scales being relatively adjustable and said scales being fixedly connectable to said numbering device mounting shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 193 words
A lateral perforation vertical registration device for an offset press comprising: a lateral perforation position reading plate made of a transparent material having a lateral scale and a vertical scale, said lateral perforation position reading plate being placed on a printing paper before lateral perforation is effected to determine a position of lateral perforation; a rotary numbering device mounting shaft carrying a numbering device; a first vertical scale mounted on said numbering device mounting shaft for indicating a perforation location; a rotary lateral perforating device mounting shaft mounted parallel to said numbering device mounting shaft; lateral perforating means having a perforating blade mounted on said lateral perforating device mounting shaft; an impression cylinder disposed between said numbering device mounting shaft and said lateral perforating device mounting shaft; a second vertical scale provided on an outer peripheral surface of said numbering device mounting shaft for indicating a numbering location; a first pointer fixedly mounted adjacent said first and second scales; and a second pointer fixedly mounted adjacent said lateral perforating means, the position of the first and second scales being relatively adjustable and said scales being fixedly connectable to said numbering device mounting shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 37 words
The lateral perforation vertical registration device of claim 1, wherein said second vertical scale fixed to said numbering device mounting shaft indicates the alignment of said numbering device relative to said lateral scale of said reading plate.
