Abstract
An apparatus for stretching a cylinder blanket on a sheet transfer cylinder of a sheet-fed printing press includes a tiltable member mounted on the cylinder. A first end of the blanket is first attached to the cylinder in a cylinder groove, the blanket is wrapped around the cylinder, and the second end of the blanket is attached to the tiltable member, while the tiltable member is in an open position. The tiltable member is then closed to stretch the blanket about the cylinder, and locked into the closed position to maintain the blanket about the cylinder.
