ABSTRACT:
A shell defining a semicylindrical printing saddle formed on one longitudinal side with a plate mount for receiving one end of a flexible printing plate having printing indicia thereon and on its opposite longitudinal side with a pair of circumferentially outwardly opening bores having sleeves mounted therein and terminating at their inner extremities in respective axially rearwardly facing stop surfaces. A biasing bar projects coextensive with the saddle adjacent such other side and includes a mount for receiving the opposite end of such printing plate. The biasing bar is formed with through bores confronting the respective cavities and has received therein self-contained latch devices including cylindrically shaped hollow latch housings projecting through such sleeves and into the respective cavities. The housings are each formed with radially outwardly opening latch passages and a pair of latch balls is provided for selective shifting radially outwardly through such passages to engage behind the aforementioned stop surfaces. Axially projecting plungers are received in such housings and selectively engage such latch balls to drive them radially outwardly through such passages to engage behind the respective stop surfaces.
