ABSTRACT:
A plate loading device for a printing press is disclosed. In the printing press, a plate cylinder is rotatably supported in a housing. The device is arranged to replace a used plate wound on a peripheral surface of the cylinder with a new plate supplied through an entrance formed in the housing. The device further includes a cover for selectively closing and opening the entrance in accordance with the loading and unloading of the plate. The device also has holding members for holding the new plate at a predetermined position outside the cover when the cover is closed, and rollers for clamping, holding and guiding the new plate. The new plate is inserted through the entrance to be placed at a predetermined position on the plate cylinder so that the new plate may be wound on the plate cylinder in one direction.
