Apparatus for preventing the cylinder drive wheels of the transfer cylinders
jamming against one another during setting and throwing-off movements includes
a transfer cylinder having cylinder drive wheel which engages the drive wheels
of a forme cylinder and of an impression cylinder in the thrown-on position. A
linkage is connected to the transfer cylinder to be moved into the thrown-off position
so that synchronously with the pivoting of the transfer cylinder to be thrown off,
a counter-rotation of the transfer cylinder is produced a gear-wheel chain which
meshes with the drive gear wheels of the forme cylinder and of the impression cylinder.
