Abstract

The mounting hardware for the attachment of a water unit to a printing press includes two mounting members attached on opposite sides of the revolving plate cylinder of the printing press. The water unit is mounted on the top surfaces of the front ends of the mounting members and is positioned over the plate cylinder. The top surfaces of the back ends of the mounting members are raised in comparison to the front ends and can support a transparent shield which extends rearwardly of the back ends. A rod interconnects the two mounting members at their back ends and serves to hingeably support the water unit. Two inking unit brackets attach to opposite sides of the printing press slightly back of and below the back ends of the mounting members and extend rearwardly in an inverted L-shape to support the inking unit of the printing press.
