Manufacture and make ready system for printing blanket cylinder for printing machine involves setting out molding blocks on flat table and bending blanket carrier plate to form complementary flanges

摘要

The printing blanket cylinder for the printing machine is vulcanized to the mid-portion (47) of the carrier plate after the edges (44,46) have been bent to form the flanges. One flange is bent at an obtuse angle and the other at an acute angle so that they fit together when the carrier and blanket are rolled up on the printing cylinder. Shaping of the blanket carrier plate involves setting out movable molding blocks (53-57) on a flat table and bending and insertion of a filler material with the aid of tool blocks (58).
