ABSTRACT:
A feed table for serially conveying sheets from the stack location magazine of an offset press to its printing head is pivotally mounted at its end adjacent the magazine. The other table end adjacent the printer head is mounted to the printer head housing by a spring-biased release mechanism that can be actuated by a release knob external of the housing to drop the table to a lower position to facilitate access to the interior of the printer head housing. Upward lifting of the printer head adjacent-end of the table by the press operator snaps the release mechanism into a retaining condition to hold the table at its normal raised position for the serial feeding of sheets from the magazine to the printer head. The release mechanism is carried by the feed table and engages with a pair of brackets mounted to the printer head housing.
