Abstract

A rod holder device is disclosed for holding a rod in a metering head of a size press. The rod holder device includes an elongate rod holder having a tending side and a back side and a front and a back face, the rod holder defining a cavity for the removable reception therein of the rod, the cavity extending between the sides of the rod holder. The rod holder defines an extension which extends between the sides of the rod holder. The extension has a proximal and a distal end and a first and a second surface, the distal end of the extension defining a plurality of spaced notches. A clamping plate has a first and a second extremity and a first and a second edge and a first a and a second face, the clamping plate being secured to the metering head. The clamping plate defines a plurality of spaced recesses. The arrangement is such that when the notches of the extension and the recesses of the clamping plate are aligned relative to each other, each recess cooperates with a corresponding notch of the extension for permitting a secure clamping of the rod holder relative to the metering head.
