Support assembly for a cylinder groove

摘要

A support assembly for a cylinder groove in a plate or blanket cylinder of a rotary printing machine utilizes an elongated support bar. The support bar has an upper support surface and is secured either directly or indirectly to the bottom of the cylinder groove. The upper support surfaces of the support bar is placed in the cylinder groove generally between ends of the printing plate or blanket carried by the cylinder at a height which effectively presents a continuous cylinder surface to eliminate cylinder deflection oscillations.
