Gripping finger used for holding and transporting stacks of paper for printing machine has flexible laminas separated by thin layers of plastics or metal

摘要

The gripping arrangement (34) has a finger (43) is bolted to a block (40) fastened to a tubular shaft (39) and is made of several resilient sheets of metal (47,48). The sheets are separated by very thin sheets of ferrous or non-ferrous metal or plastics (56) to provide frictional damping as the finger bends. The end of the lowermost plate is thickened (46) where it bears against a gripping member (36).
