Abstract
A jaw cylinder in a jaw folder is provided. A first base ( ) includes a stationary member ( ) in a jaw mechanism. A second base ( ) includes a swing member ( ) having a jaw portion accessible to the jaw portion of the stationary member ( ). A third base ( ) has end axes ( ) at both ends and is rotatably supported by the end axes ( ) on a pair of opposite frames (Fa, Fb). The first ( ) and second ( ) bases are rotatably located on the third base ( ) about the rotational centerline of the third base ( ) relative to the third base ( ). The first ( ), second ( ) and third ( ) bases synchronously rotate to move the swing member ( ) close to and apart from the stationary member ( ) to grip a print therebetween. A jaw clearance adjusting mechanism ( ) turns the first ( ) and second ( ) bases about the rotational centerline of the third base ( ) in opposite directions to adjust a gap between the jaw portions of the stationary ( ) and swing ( ) members in the jaw mechanism.
