Abstract
A printing press has a support arm that can move between lower and upper positions, first and second link plates swingably supported by a main frame and the support arm, respectively. A connection pin having a protruding end portion is provided to connect the link plates. A support lever, swingably supported by the main frame, has an engagement groove which disengageably engages with the protruding end portion of the connection pin. When the support arm moves from the lower position to the upper position, the protruding end portion of the connection pin comes into contact with the edge surface of a lower portion of the support lever, and swings the support lever. When the protruding end portion of the connection pin reaches the engagement groove of the support lever, the protruding end portion engages with the engagement groove, so that the support arm is held at the upper position.
 
Claims
What is claimed is:

1. A printing press having a movable member that selectively moves between a first position and a second position, comprising:

a link member swingably supported by a main frame and swings as said movable member moves;

a support lever swingably supported by said main frame; and

engagement means for swinging said support lever by swinging of said link member caused by movement of said movable member from said first position to said second position, and for engaging said link member with said support lever to hold said movable member at said second position, wherein

said engagement means includes,

a protruding portion provided on said link member, and



Description
The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-144888 filed on May 17, 2000, including specification, claims, drawings and summary is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a printing press having movable members, such as a cover and a plate-replacing device, disposed around printing means, such as various cylinders and an inking unit.

2. Description of the Related Art

In a printing press, in order to enable maintenance or inspection of printing means, such as various cylinders and an inking unit, a cover, a plate-replacing device, and like members are movably disposed around the printing means such that an open space can be established around the printing means. These movable members must be designed to maintain an opened state in order to facilitate the above described maintenance or inspection of the printing means.

Therefore, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2560221, after a plate replacing apparatus provided in the vicinity of a plate cylinder is raised, a stopper pin is inserted into a hole through operation of a lever, whereby the plate replacing apparatus is fixedly held in an opened state.
 
  A printing press comprises a pair of left- and right-frames, a safety cover movably supported between a closing position for closing at least one part...  A printing press includes an impression cylinder, a seal cylinder, two number printing cylinders, and a transfer cylinder.
