| 20120073463 | Hook to Fabric Fastener Closure Tool - In a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, a method of preparing the printing press for printing is provided. The method comprises placing a first edge of a flexible jacket over one of a hook type attachment structure or a loop type attachment structure coupled to a first edge of the transfer cylinder and pressing the flexible jacket into contact with the hook type attachment structure or the loop type attachment structure, wherein the pressing is performed by surface contact between the flexible jacket and a loop type material attached to a tool. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20100307357 | Anti-marking Jackets Comprised of Attachment Structure and Methods of Using in Offset Printing - In a printing press, a transfer cylinder assembly for transferring a freshly printed substrate is provided. The transfer cylinder assembly comprises a transfer cylinder, a first attachment structure comprising a plurality of loops coupled to the transfer cylinder, and an anti-marking device. The anti-marking device comprises a second attachment structure comprising a plurality of hooks and a flexible jacket to engage the freshly printed substrate as it is transferred over the transfer cylinder assembly. The second attachment structure is at least semi-permanently coupled to the flexible jacket, and the anti-marking device is removably attached over the transfer cylinder by coupling the second attachment structure with the first attachment structure. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100154667 | Multiple Layer Anti-marking Jackets and Methods of Using in Offset Printing - In a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, an anti-marking device is provided. The anti-marking device comprises an assembly of at least two flexible jackets, the assembly removably attached with free play to the transfer cylinder, wherein an outermost flexible jacket supports the freshly printed substrate as it passes over the transfer cylinder and wherein the outermost flexible jacket is removable from the assembly while the assembly remains attached to the transfer cylinder. In an embodiment, a base cover is attached to the transfer cylinder, and the assembly is removably attached with free play to the transfer cylinder over the base cover. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100154665 | Anti-marking Jackets Comprised of Fluoropolymer and Methods of Using in Offset Printing - In a printing press having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, an anti-marking device is provided. The anti-marking device comprises a flexible jacket comprised of fluoropolymer to engage the freshly printed substrate as it is transferred over the transfer cylinder, the anti-marking device removably attached with free play to the transfer cylinder. In an embodiment, a base cover is installed on the transfer cylinder between the anti-marking device and the transfer cylinder. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100101441 | Offset Printing Transfer Cylinder Base Cover with Alignment Stripes for Precision Installation of a Flexible Jacket Cover also with Alignment Stripes - In a printing unit having a transfer cylinder for transferring a freshly printed substrate, a flexible jacket having at least one horizontally disposed first means for visual alignment is disclosed and a cylinder base cover having at least one horizontally disposed second means for visual alignment is disclosed, wherein the first means for visual alignment and the second means for visual alignment are used in combination during at least one of attaching the flexible jacket to the transfer cylinder over the cylinder base cover and adjusting the free play of the flexible jacket, wherein the flexible jacket is movable relative to the cylinder base cover. | 04-29-2010 |
