Abstract
A plate exchange apparatus for a printing press includes a plate guide member and operating members. The plate guide member guides one end of a plate into plate gripper surfaces of a leading-side plate lockup device when the one end of the plate opposes the plate gripper surfaces of the leading-side plate lockup device, and inserts the plate into plate gripper surfaces of a trailing-side plate lockup device under pressure when the other end of the plate wound around a plate cylinder opposes the plate gripper surfaces of the trailing-side plate lockup device. The operating members press the plate guide member against a circumferential surface of the plate cylinder until the other end of the plate is inserted under pressure after the one end of the plate is gripped.
