A deck for a printing press includes first and second rolls which are mounted for linear movement on a pair of spaced parallel rails. A rotatable ball screw moves the rolls along the rails. The axis of the screw substantially intersects the axes of the rolls.

Deck configuration for a printing press

A side shift mechanism for a deck of a printing press enables a roll, for example, a plate roll and/or an anilox roll, to be shifted axially so that one end of the roll extends out of the frame of the press. The extended roll or a sleeve on the roll is thereby made accessible for easy exchange. After the roll or sleeve is exchanged, the roll is shifted back to its original position.

Method and apparatus for exchanging a roll of a printing press

A method and apparatus for producing raised leg cuffs for diapers in which an elastic band is oriented in a straight line direction so as to be adhesively encapsulated between the fold portions of a diaper web while the same is passing through a folding board.
