Abstract
In a sheet-like object convey apparatus for a sheet-fed rotary printing press a cylinder shaft is rotatably supported between a pair of frames and rotatably driven during conveyance of a sheet-like object. Gripper pads and grippers grip an end of a sheet-like object conveyed from an upstream side of a sheet convey direction. A gripper pad bar and gripper shaft are supported by the cylinder shaft, to support the gripper pads and grippers in an axial direction of the cylinder shaft. A rod is rotatably supported parallel to the cylinder shaft and has an eccentric large-diameter portion. A lever, cam follower, and cam rotate the rod through a predetermined angle by rotation of the cylinder shaft. Press members are rotatably fitted on the large-diameter portion of the rod, to be displaced in a radial direction along with rotation of the rod. Press levers and braking members convert displacement of the press members, while in surface contact with them, into a pressure in a direction perpendicular to the gripper pad bar and gripper shaft, to deflect them in the sheet convey direction.
