A plate clamping device which is usable to secure at least one end of a flexible plate to a cylinder utilizes a group of spring fingers that are shiftable radially in an axially extending slit in the cylinder to engage apertures in the end of the plate. The spring fingers have barbs that are receivable in these plate end apertures. The spring fingers are shiftable radially in the cylinder slit by rotation of a spindle situated in the cylinder.
