Abstract
A rubber blanket unit is structured having an underlying support plate with angled end legs, and an overlying rubber blanket with leading and trailing ends. The rubber blanket unit is secured to a blanket cylinder by insertion of the end legs into a thin cylinder slit. The rubber blanket ends are formed each having a reduced thickness and each further having a closure element. The leading and trailing blanket end closures cooperate to form an essentially seamless rubber blanket when the blanket unit is in place. The blanket ends are not dislodged by mechanical or chemical cleaning.
