Title: Udo Trillig and His Printing-Machine Inventions.

Introduction

Udo Trillig is an inventor associated with Offenbach, Germany. His work focuses on sheet handling and guidance in rotary printing machines. He holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Trillig’s patents address the reliable positioning and transfer of sheets in printing equipment.

“Device for Guiding Sheets” describes an apparatus for fixing a sheet to the surface of an electrically conductive cylinder in a printing machine, particularly a sheet-fed offset press. An electrode creates an electric field that holds the sheet against the cylinder, while an air-directing device uses pressurized air to position the sheet before the electric field acts. The patent describes several alternative embodiments.

“Sheet Guide Device in a Rotary Printing Machine” concerns the smear- and mark-free transfer of sheets between holding and transfer systems, such as cylinders or a cylinder and a circulating conveyor. Its guide surface sits beneath the transfer area, while a pneumatic system directs a positive-pressure air stream toward that area. An optional additional system draws or blows air through openings in the guide surface.
