Abstract
A gripping surface adapted to be mounted on the outer circumferential surfaces of a pair of cutting cylinders 12, 14 in a printing press is provided. The gripping surface includes a plurality of mounting strips 26. Each mounting strip 26 has an upper surface and a lower surface and a layer of VELCRO.TM. brand gripping material 38 mounted on the upper surface. The layer of gripping material 38 is mounted on the upper surface of each mounting strip 26 using a self adhesive. At least one keeper tab 36 is disposed on the lower surface of each mounting strip 26. The keeper tab 36 is mounted in a "t" slot formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder on which the mounting strip is mounted. The mounting strips 26 are flat and formed of a thermoplastic material using an injection molding process.
