Abstract
Apparatus is provided for simple and reliable adjusting of the smoothing means on a storage cylinder of a sheet of set press to adjust the smoothing means relative to the sheet end when the press is selectively changed from first printing to perfecting printing operation. The storage cylinder is mounted on a hollow main shaft in which a hollow intermediate shaft and an adjusting shaft are concentrically mounted. Clamping cams are disposed on the intermediate shaft and act by way of cam followers and expanding finger sleeves to clamp or release the elements which carry the smoothing means on the main shaft. The position of the smoothing means relative to the main shaft is adjusted by way of epicyclic gearing interposed between one end of the adjusting shaft and the hollow main shaft. The relationship of the intermediate shaft and the adjusting shaft are selectively changed and locked in operative position by axially aligned internal non-circular control elements interconnected by a non-circular drive key which is axially slidable out of engagement with the non-circular control elements by insertion of a correspondingly shaped adjusting key.
