Stress in a paper web in a rotary printing press is measured by directing the web past two tubular members spaced in the direction of web travel and supported by support arms. Deflection of the support arms is measured and provides an indication of the amount of stress in the paper web.

Web stress measuring assembly

A chambered doctor blade for a short inking unit of a rotary press includes an ink receiving chamber and a profiled body positioned in the chamber. The shapes of the profiled body and the ink receiving chamber are complementary and define an ink flow path. This path is tapered in the direction of ink flow and provides a forced circulation of the ink through the tapered flow path.

A bearing journal for a paper guide roller has a blind bore extending inwardly from an axial outer end. The blind bore carries cooperating clamping wedges which are slidable with respect to each other to thereby radially expand an annular clamping area of the bearing journal into engagement with a side wall of the printing press.

Bearing journals for paper guide rollers

An ink dividing assembly for an inking roller in an ink fountain of a rotary printing press is disclosed. One or more inking bars are positioned adjacent the ink roller and carry doctor blades. Thin ink dividing plates are slideably carried in guide depressions formed by guide plates attached to the ends of the inking bars. A front surface of each ink divider plate is curved and sealingly engages the peripheral surface of the inking roller. The ink dividing plates may be spring biased in the guide depressions into contact with the ink roller.
