A printing blanket assembly for a blanket cylinder of a rotary printing press includes a dimensionally stable support plate, and a printing blanket fastened to the outside of the support plate. A leading end of the support plate and a trailing end of the support plate are fastened to the blanket cylinder by the provision of an angled or beveled, printing blanket free end. A filler is provided between the beveled end of the support plate and the inner edge of the leading and trailing ends of the printing blanket.

A forme cylinder is supported and adjusted in a printing group of a rotary printing press, which group includes a transfer cylinder and a counter-pressure cylinder, which two cylinders include interacting support elements. The forme cylinder does not include a support element which interacts with the transfer cylinder. The forme cylinder has a shaft distance that can be adjusted during printing to adjust a contact pressure between the forme cylinder and the transfer cylinder. The forme cylinder may be covered with a waterless printing forme. The contact pressure between the forme cylinder and the transfer cylinder can be adjusted to a property, such as the compressibility, of the waterless printing forme.

The invention relates to a printing blanket assembly for a blanket cylinder of a rotary printing press. The printing blanket assembly comprises a dimensionally stable support plate () with two ends, one of which is the forward end and the other one is the trailing end with respect to the rotation of the blanket cylinder, these ends being fastened to the blanket cylinder with folded, printing-blanket free limbs (). The assembly further comprises a printing blanket (), fastened to the outside of the support plate () and having a forward end () and a trailing end (). Said printing blanket assembly allows for perfect printing also in the area of a gap between the limbs () and can be produced in a simple manner. For this purpose, both ends () of the printing blanket () project beyond the bevelled edge () of the pertaining limbs () of the support plate () and one support element () for supporting said projection is disposed between the bevelled edge () and the inside of the printing blanket ().

A device that is useable to clamp a rotatable shaft or spindle and which is provided with cams or pressure pieces, to retain or to tension packings on a cylinder, is provided. The shaft or spindle can be both rotated about an axis of rotation, as well as clamped against rotation by the device. The device can be pivoted with respect to the shaft or spindle about a pivot axis which is essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft or spindle. The pivotable device can be provided as a pawl or lever that interacts with a pair of stops to hold it in a shaft or spindle locking position.

A device for preventing unwanted aerosol-like deposits on rotary printing presses utilizes an aerosol capturing assembly which is located adjacent a receptor roller. Any unwanted aerosol, which may be created adjacent the receptor roller by the operation of a droplet generating device, is removed by the aerosol capturing device.

A cylinder moistening assembly which is usable to apply moistening fluid to the surface of a cylinder utilizes a plurality of axially spaced fan spray nozzle devices in a housing. A screen assembly having upper and lower screen plates which define a spray outline or aperture is positioned intermediate a spray nozzle of the fan spray nozzle device and the cylinder. A smooth spray of moistening fluid is applied to the cylinder in a uniform manner particularly in those areas where the spray patterns of adjacent nozzles overlap.
