Abstract
A cylinder throw apparatus includes a plate cylinder, a printing cylinder, a blanket cylinder, a pair of eccentric bearings, and a motor. The plate cylinder has a circumferential surface on which a printing plate is mounted. The printing cylinder is disposed to have a circumferential surface thereof kept away from the circumferential surface of the plate cylinder. The blanket cylinder is disposed between the plate cylinder and the printing cylinder. The eccentric bearings and the motor move the blanket cylinder between an impression-on position in which the blanket cylinder is pressed against the plate cylinder and, through a paper sheet, pressed against the printing cylinder, and an impression throw-off position in which the blanket cylinder is kept away from the plate cylinder and the printing cylinder, and automatically set a gap between the blanket cylinder and the printing cylinder at the impression-on position in correspondence with a paper thickness.
