Abstract
The disclosure relates to an apparatus in an adjustable creasing tool (1). The creasing tool (1) includes two mutually co-operating creasing rollers, a male roller (2) and a female roller (3), a gear wheel transmission with a housing (8) for operation and mutual co-ordination of the creasing rollers (2, 3), means for adjusting the mutual position of rotation of the two creasing rollers (2, 3), means for adjusting the position of one of the creasing rollers along its axis of rotation, and means for adjusting the mutual spacing between the axes of rotation (4, 5) of the creasing rollers. Each respective shaft (4, 5) is fixedly connected to each respective gear wheel (6, 7) in the gear wheel transmission by means of rotationally rigid, both radially and axially limited, flexible couplings (9). These permit adjustment of the mutual positioning of the rollers (2, 3) without the meshing relationship of the transmission (8) needing to be affected. For adjustment of the mutual position of rotation of the rollers (2, 3), the transmission housing (8) may be restrictedly rotatably fixed in the frame of the creasing tool (1) about one of the shafts (4, 5) of the transmission.
