In the combination printing press 100 of the embodiment described above, when the paper sheets W are fed one by one from the paper feeding device 101 onto the feeder board 102, the paper sheets W are passed one by one to the gripper of the transfer cylinder 104 by the swing arm shaft pregripper 103 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped. Each paper sheet W is passed from the transfer cylinder 104 to the transfer cylinder 105 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the transfer cylinder 105. Thereafter, the paper sheet W is passed to the impression cylinder 107 of the relief printing unit 106 and the leading edge thereof is gripped by the gripper of the impression cylinder 107 to be held and conveyed with the one surface (front surface) facing outward.
The ink transferred in advance from the inking device 109 onto a surface of the plate cylinder 108 is transferred onto the one surface of the paper sheet W held and conveyed on a peripheral surface of the impression cylinder 107 by causing the paper sheet W to pass between the impression cylinder 107 and the plate cylinder 108, and the relief printing of a seal and the like is thus performed.
The paper sheet W whose one surface is subjected to the relief printing on the impression cylinder 107 is then passed to the conveyance cylinder 110 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 110. The paper sheet W is passed from the conveyance cylinder 110 to the impression cylinder 112 of the first number printing unit 111 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the impression cylinder 112. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the impression cylinder 112 with the one surface facing outward.
The ink transferred in advance from the inking device 114 onto a surface of the number cylinder 113 is transferred onto the one surface of the paper sheet W held and conveyed on a peripheral surface of the impression cylinder 112 by causing the paper sheet W to pass between the impression cylinder 112 and the number cylinder 113, and first number printing is thus performed.
The paper sheet W whose one surface is subjected to the first number printing on the impression cylinder 112 is then passed to the conveyance cylinder 115 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 115. Then, the paper sheet W is passed from the conveyance cylinder 115 to the impression cylinder 117 of the second number printing unit 116 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the impression cylinder 117. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the impression cylinder 117 with the one surface facing outward.

The paper sheet W whose one surface is subjected to the second number printing on the impression cylinder 117 is then passed to the conveyance cylinder 120 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 120. The printing state on the one surface is checked by using the checking device 124 and the lighting unit 125 before the paper sheet W is passed to and gripped by the conveyance cylinder 120, i.e. in a period after the number printing of the paper sheet W in the number printing units 111, 116 and before coating processing of the paper sheet W in the coating units 126, 135.
The paper sheet W passed to and gripped by the conveyance cylinder 120 is passed to the conveyance cylinder 122 of the first drying unit 121 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 122. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the conveyance cylinder 122 with the one surface facing outward.
In this conveyance, the one surface of the paper sheet W which is subjected to the aforementioned relief printing and first and second number printing and which is not yet subjected to the coating processing in the coating units 126, 135 is heated and dried by the drying lamps 123.
Next, the paper sheet W is passed to the impression cylinder 127 of the other-surface coating unit 126 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the impression cylinder 127. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the impression cylinder 127 with the other surface (back surface) now facing outward.
The coating liquid such as varnish applied in advance from the anilox roller 129 and the chamber coater 130 onto a surface of the coating cylinder 128 is applied onto the other surface of the paper sheet W held and conveyed on a peripheral surface of the impression cylinder 127 by causing the paper sheet W to pass between the impression cylinder 127 and the coating cylinder 128, and the coating processing is thus performed.
The paper sheet W whose other surface is subjected to the coating processing on the impression cylinder 127 is then passed to the conveyance cylinder 131 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 131. The paper sheet W is passed from the conveyance cylinder 131 to the conveyance cylinder 133 of the second drying unit 132 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the conveyance cylinder 133. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the conveyance cylinder 133 with the other surface facing outward.
In this conveyance, the other surface of the paper sheet W whose other surface is subjected to the coating processing and whose one surface is not subjected to the coating processing is heated and dried by the drying lamps 134.
Next, the paper sheet W is passed to the impression cylinder 136 of the one-surface coating unit 135 and the leading edge side thereof is gripped by the gripper of the impression cylinder 136. The paper sheet W is thereby held and conveyed by the impression cylinder 136 with the one surface (front surface) now facing outward.
The coating liquid such as varnish applied in advance from the anilox roller 138 and the chamber coater 139 onto a surface of the coating cylinder 137 is applied onto the one surface of the paper sheet W held and conveyed on a peripheral surface of the impression cylinder 136 by causing the paper sheet W to pass between the impression cylinder 136 and the coating cylinder 137, and the coating processing is thus performed.
The paper sheet W whose one surface is subjected to the coating processing on the impression cylinder 136 is then passed to the conveyance chain 142 in the paper delivery device 140 via the delivery cylinder 141a to be gripped by the not-illustrated gripper bars of the conveyance chain 142. The paper sheet W is thereby conveyed along the upper travelling chain portion of the conveyance chain 142 with the other surface now facing outward.
Before the paper sheet W is stacked on the stacking trays 143a to 143c, the one surface of the paper sheet W conveyed by the conveyance chain 142 is heated and dried by the drying lamps 145 with the paper sheet W being guided and spread while being sucked by the suction guide 144.
Then, the paper sheet W is conveyed with the travelling of the conveyance chain 142 and selectively delivered to one of the three stacking trays 143a to 143c. Specifically, when the printing state is determined to be normal as a result of the checking by the checking device 124, the paper sheet W is delivered to and stacked on the stacking tray 143a or the stacking tray 143b as a good item. Meanwhile, when the printing state is determined to be abnormal, the paper sheet W is delivered to and stacked on the stacking tray 143c as a defective item. At this time, the paper sheets W delivered onto the stacking trays 143a to 143c are stacked on the stacking trays 143a to 143c with the one surfaces (front surfaces) subjected to the aforementioned relief printing and first and second number printing facing upward.
As described above, in the combination printing press 100 of the embodiment, the relief printing by the relief printing unit 106, the two types of number printing by the first number printing unit 111 and the second number printing unit 116, and the double-sided coating by the other-surface coating unit 126 and the one-surface coating unit 135 can be performed in one pass.
Accordingly, in the combination printing press 100 of the embodiment, there is no need to perform registration again for the double-sided coating after the relief printing and the first and second number printing are performed, and various types of printing and coating can be completed by performing paper conveyance once. Hence, it is possible to improve the quality and productivity of the printing and coating and also reduce a burden on an operator.
Moreover, since there is no need to perform paper feeding work for the double-sided coating and paper delivery work after the relief printing and the first and second number printing, it is possible to greatly reduce the printing preparation time and also reduce the burden on the operator.
Furthermore, since intermediate stocks between the step of double-sided coating and the step of relief printing and first and second printing are eliminated, the intermediate stocks can be reduced. In addition, since intermediate defects between the aforementioned steps are eliminated by integrated production, the level of defectiveness can be reduced.
Moreover, a set of the plate cylinder 108 and the inking device 109 in the relief printing unit 106, a set of the number cylinder 113 and the inking device 114 in the first number printing unit 111, and a set of the number cylinder 118 and the inking device 119 in the second number printing unit 116 are disposed respectively below the impression cylinders 107, 112, 117, i.e. below a conveyance path of the paper sheet W. Accordingly, the operator can easily perform maintenance and management of parts of the printer while standing on a floor. Specifically, in the relief printing unit 106, the operator can easily perform replacement work and cleaning work of the plate as well as maintenance, management, adjustment, and the like of the inking device 109. Moreover, in the first and second number printing units 111, 116, the operator can easily perform attachment and detachment work and position adjustment of multiple numbering machines provided in the number cylinders 113, 118 as well as maintenance, management, adjustment, and the like of the inking devices 114, 119. Hence, the burden on the operator can be further reduced.
Furthermore, since the number printing units 111, 116 and the coating units 126, 135 are connected to each other only by the transfer cylinders 120, 122, it is possible to perform the passing and receiving of the paper sheet W with high accuracy and further improve the quality of printing and coating with high registration accuracy.
Moreover, the relief printing unit 106 and the first number printing unit 111 are connected to each other only by the conveyance cylinder 110, the first number printing unit 111 and the second number printing unit 116 are connected to each other only by the conveyance cylinder 115, and the other-surface coating unit 126 and the one-surface coating unit 135 are connected to each other only by the conveyance cylinders 131, 133, i.e. all of the units 106, 111, 116, 126, 135 are connected to one another only by the conveyance cylinders 110, 115, 120, 122, 131, 133. Accordingly, it is possible to perform passing and receiving of the paper sheet W among all of the units 106, 111, 116, 126, 135 with high accuracy and more surely improve the quality of all printing and coating with high registration accuracy.
Moreover, since the relief printing, the two types of number printing, and the double-sided coating are performed not in a satellite-type configuration but in a unit pattern design, it is possible to easily increase and decrease the number of units and replace an old unit with a new unit, thereby improving versatility.
A second embodiment of the combination printing press of the present invention is described based on

Meanwhile, one drying lamp (second drying part) 134A configured to heat and dry the other surface (back surface) of the paper sheet W subjected to the coating processing by the other-surface (back-surface) coating unit 126 is disposed to face an upper peripheral surface (a portion downstream of the contact position between the impression cylinder 127 and the coating cylinder 128 and upstream of the contact position between the impression cylinder 127 and the impression cylinder 136 of the one-surface (front surface) coating unit 135 in the paper conveyance direction) of the impression cylinder 127 in the other-surface (back-surface) coating unit 126.
In the combination printing press of the embodiment, the paper sheet W is directly passed from the impression cylinder 127 of the other-surface (back-surface) coating unit 126 to the impression cylinder 136 of the one-surface (front-surface) coating unit 135, and the relief printing by the relief printing unit 106, the two types of number printing by the first number printing unit 111 and the second number printing unit 116, and the double-sided coating by the other-surface coating unit 126 and the one-surface coating unit 135 can be performed in one pass. Accordingly, the combination printing press of the embodiment has, in addition to the same operations and effects as those in the aforementioned embodiment, such an advantage that the length of the printer can be reduced by the reduction of the number of cylinders which is achieved by the elimination of the second drying unit 132.
A third embodiment of the combination printing press of the present invention is described based on
In the combination printing press of the embodiment, a blanket impression cylinder 150 having a gripper is used instead of the impression cylinder 136 (see
Accordingly, the coating liquid such as varnish applied from the anilox roller 129 and the chamber coater 130 onto the coating cylinder 128 is transferred to the blanket cylinder 151, and the paper sheet W, which is passed from the transfer cylinder 122 to the blanket impression cylinder 150 and whose leading end is gripped and held by the gripping device of the blanket impression cylinder 150, is coated with the coating liquid while passing between the blanket cylinder 151 and the blanket impression cylinder 150. At the same time, the coating liquid such as varnish applied from the anilox roller 138 and the chamber coater 139 onto the coating cylinder 137 is transferred to the blanket impression cylinder 150, and the one surface (front surface) of the aforementioned paper sheet W is then coated with the coating liquid by a printing pressure of the blanket cylinder 151.
In the combination printing press of the embodiment, coating is performed simultaneously on both surfaces of the paper sheet W between the blanket cylinder 151 on the other-surface (back-surface) coating unit 126 side and the blanket impression cylinder 150 on the one-surface (front-surface) coating unit 135 side, and it is possible to perform in one pass the relief printing by the relief printing unit 106, the two types of number printing by the first number printing unit 111 and the second number printing unit 116, and the double-sided coating by the other-surface coating unit 126 and the one-surface coating unit 135. Accordingly, the combination printing press of the embodiment has, in addition to the same operations and effects as those in the combination printing press of the aforementioned second embodiment, such an advantage that the length of the printer can be reduced by the reduction of the number of cylinders which is achieved by the elimination of the impression cylinder 127 (
In the aforementioned embodiments, the relief printing unit 106 is disposed between the sheet feeding part and the first number printing unit 111. However, as another embodiment, the relief printing unit 106 can be disposed between the second number printing unit 116 and the other-surface coating unit 126 for example. The same operations and effects as those in the aforementioned embodiments can be obtained as long as the relief printing unit 106 is disposed at a position where the relief printing can be performed on the paper sheet W before the coating processing in the coating units 126, 135.
The combination printing press of the present invention can improve the quality and productivity of printing and coating and also reduce the burden on the operator. Accordingly, the combination printing press is extremely useful in production of notes such as bank notes and securities such as stock certificates and bond certificates.
