Abstract
This invention relates to a colorhead printer mounting apparatus operable to be secured to a printing press and connectable to a colorhead printing assembly usable with the printing press. The colorhead printer mounting apparatus includes a main support jack assembly secured by an anchor bracket assembly to the printing press and having a colorhead support assembly mounted thereon which is operable to support the colorhead printing assembly thereon. The colorhead support assembly includes a mounting bar assembly secured to the colorhead printing assembly and having self-centering means for releasable connection to the colorhead printing assembly operable for raising, lowering, and pivotally moving to a non-use position for repair and maintenance thereon. A second embodiment of this invention utilizes a colorhead trolley support assembly having a mounting bar assembly connected to the colorhead printing assembly and a trolley support arm assembly operable through a trolley actuator assembly in order to move the mounting bar assembly and the interconnected colorhead printing assembly laterally before moving vertically in order to clear various obstacles between the colorhead printing assembly and the printing press. Numerous lock feature structures are provided for holding the colorhead printing assembly in a secure condition when in the usage condition and for securing the colorhead printing assembly to the lift arm assembly of the colorhead support assembly to prevent unintentional damage or dropping of the colorhead printing assembly when moving to the non-usage condition.
