Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to an improvement in a device for uniformly pressing on and releasing the pressure from, particularly oscillating, rub-out bars in an apparatus for developing printing plates including transport rolls and, if appropriate, squeezing rolls arranged in pairs, particularly in a horizontal position, with a bearing at each end of each upper roll, and means whereby each bearing and upper roll may be raised and lowered with respect to each lower roll, the improvement comprising pivotal angle lever means, equipped with weight means, and having a lower arm with a pressure roll connected to the end thereof, the pressure roll being adapted to exert pressure on a rub-out bar in the lowered position of each upper roll, and lifting means for the angle lever means comprising bearing means adapted to seat on shaft means of the upper rolls, and connecting means between the bearing means and an upper arm of the pivotal angle lever means.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 152 words
In a device for uniformly pressing on and releasing the pressure from, particularly oscillating, rub-out bars in an apparatus for developing printing plates including transport rolls and, if appropriate, squeezing rolls arranged in pairs, particularly in a horizontal position, with a bearing at each end of each upper roll, and means whereby each bearing and upper roll may be raised and lowered with respect to each lower roll, the improvement comprising pivotal angle lever means, equipped with weight means, and having a lower arm with a pressure roll connected to the end thereof, said pressure roll being adapted to exert pressure on a rub-out bar in the lowered position of said each upper roll, and lifting means for said angle lever means comprising bearing means adapted to seat on shaft means of said upper rolls, and connecting means between said bearing means and an upper arm of said pivotal angle lever means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 152 words
In a device for uniformly pressing on and releasing the pressure from, particularly oscillating, rub-out bars in an apparatus for developing printing plates including transport rolls and, if appropriate, squeezing rolls arranged in pairs, particularly in a horizontal position, with a bearing at each end of each upper roll, and means whereby each bearing and upper roll may be raised and lowered with respect to each lower roll, the improvement comprising pivotal angle lever means, equipped with weight means, and having a lower arm with a pressure roll connected to the end thereof, said pressure roll being adapted to exert pressure on a rub-out bar in the lowered position of said each upper roll, and lifting means for said angle lever means comprising bearing means adapted to seat on shaft means of said upper rolls, and connecting means between said bearing means and an upper arm of said pivotal angle lever means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A device according to claim 1 in which said rub-out bars include at least one brush bar or plush bar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 49 words
A device according to claim 1 in which said pressure roll, connected to said lower arm, contacts said rub-out bar in the lowered position of said each upper roll, and is separated from said rub-out bar by a small gap in the raised position of said each upper roll.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
A device according to claim 1 including mounting angle means securing said pressure roll to an associated rub-out bar.
