ABSTRACT:
In a rotary printing machine having a plate cylinder journalled at opposite ends thereof in a respective bearing and having a helical drive gear for the plate cylinder mounted on the journal thereof, a device for adjusting lateral register by axial shifting of the plate cylinder and for adjusting circumferential register by axial shifting of the helical drive gear, the device includes adjusting members disposed so as to act coaxially upon at least one of the plate cylinder and the drive gear therefor, the adjusting members including a sliding bushing disposed in each bearing of the plate cylinder, a toothed rim threadedly adjustable at each of the plate-cylinder bearings and connected to the respective sliding bushing, and a respective worm spindle meshingly engaging the toothed rim, a disc member secured to the plate-cylinder journal at one of the bearings, and first thrust bearing means engageable with the disc, the sliding bushing at the one bearing being adjustable so as to bear through the first thrust bearing means against the disc for effecting lateral register adjustment, the helical drive gear being mounted for sliding on the journal at the other of the bearings, an entrainer disc also mounted on the journal at the other of the bearings, compression spring means for bracing the helical drive gear against the entrainer disc, and second thrust bearing means engageable with the helical drive gear, the sliding bushing at the other bearing being adjustable so as to bear through the second thrust bearing means against the helical drive gear for effecting circumferential register adjustment.
