Application 08/851,017
other claims pending in the application, stand objected to
along with claim 9 as depending from a rejected base claim.
THE INVENTION
The subject matter on appeal relates to “a method and a
device for laterally aligning a sheet, more particularly, by
an axially displaceable sheet gripper device on a cylinder
or a drum of a sheet-processing machine, having a control
roller and a cam disk cooperating with the control roller at
an end face” (specification, page 1). Claims 1 and 3 are
illustrative and read as follows:
1. A method for laterally aligning a sheet in a sheet-
processing machine, the sheet being retained by sheet
grippers which are displaced axially on a common carriage
with respect to an alignment cylinder, which comprises
fixing the carriage when it reaches a predetermined desired
position by exerting a braking force on the carriage.
3. A device for laterally aligning a sheet by an
axially displaceable sheet gripper device on a cylinder or a
drum of a sheet-processing machine, having a control roller
and a cam disk having an end face cooperating with the
control roller at the end face, comprising a carriage to
which the sheet gripper device is fastened, and a braking
system by which said carriage is fixable with respect to the
alignment cylinder.
