Abstract
An easy to manufacture and install sound dampening pad for a printing blanket sleeve is provided. The pad effectively attenuates noise emanating from the sleeve during air pressurized mounting and dismounting of the blanket sleeve to an underlying cylinder. The sound dampening pad is fabricated from a flexible polymeric material and has a generally J-shaped configuration with inner and outer surfaces. At least a portion of the inner surface of the J-shape includes a pressure sensitive adhesive thereon to secure the pad to the inner surface of the sleeve.
