ABSTRACT:
A horizontal slide mechanism for removably replacing an inking unit set in a rotary offset printing press of the type having a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder and an impression cylinder having parallel rotational axes. The horizontal slide mechanism includes a guide track rigidly mounted to the printing press adjacent and parallel to the plate, blanket and impression cylinders. A slide plate is supported in the guide track for guided movement parallel to the plate, blanket and impression cylinder transverse to the printing press. A pivot mount is attached to the slide plate and is pivotably attached to the inking unit. The pivot mount on the slide plate provides a single pivot axis parallel to the rotational axes of the plate, blanket and impression cylinders, and is positioned spaced apart from the plate cylinder for pivoting the inking unit between a first and a second pivot position. The first pivot position corresponds to inking engagement with the plate cylinder, and the second pivot position corresponds to a spaced apart disengaged position, at which the inking unit is not in operational engagement with the plate cylinder. A latching mechanism is provided by which the inking unit is releasably held and locked in the first position corresponding to inking engagement.
