Abstract
A sheet-like material guiding device of an offset printing press comprises a chain for holding and transporting a printed sheet; a product pile device for piling the printed sheet released from the chain; a suction device for reducing the speed of the printed sheet transported by the chain, the suction device being supported movably in the direction of transport of the printed sheet; and a belt disposed below the chain for guiding the printed sheet at nearly the same speed as the speed of transport of the printed sheet by the chain, the belt being movable so as to follow the movement of the suction device, the sheet-like material guiding device including a pair of driven rollers for supporting the belt, and a chain for supporting the driven rollers movably, with the distance between the driven rollers being unchanged. The belt can satisfactorily follow during movement of the suction device to achieve smooth transport, and a drive source for the suction device can be made small in capacity.
