PATENT OFFICE.

The present machine is used to stick stamps on envelopes, packages and The same can be operated with one hand while the other hand is free remains to handle the items to be stamped. The machine is also such arranged so that a large number of stamps are accommodated in it and individually moistened can be glued to the objects in question.

In the drawings the machine is illustrated, and in particular Fig. 1 is a side view of the machine, with a part of the housing intended to be broken off, Fig. 2 a Front view of the machine. Fig. 3 shows the rear of the housing wall visible in Fig. 1, Figure 4 is a vertical longitudinal section through the machine. Figure 5 is a top view of the water cup or humidifier and. FIG. 6 is a horizontal section along line 6-6 in FIG. 4.

The machine essentially consists of a housing A and a foot B, which are connected to one another by a rail 10. A gap 11 is left between the foot and the housing. The housing A consists of a single chamber. The housing as well as the foot are formed from two parts which are connected to one another by screws or the like.

The foot is closed at the top by a table 12 and rails are attached to the upper end of the foot, on which the table 12 can slide. The table has an elastic surface 13 (Figs. 1 and 4). Furthermore, a spring 14 is attached to the same (preferably to the outer end thereof), while the inner end of the spring is attached to the foot B. This spring pulls the table inwards so that the inner end of the table hits the connecting rail 10. A rod 15 is attached to the lower surface of the table 12 (Fig. 4). The table is also provided with a handle 16 which terminates in a button. In the foot B , a chamber is provided in which a bowl 17 is accommodated (FIG. 4). Within this cup, a lever 18 is rotatably attached, which in the normal position rests on a cushion rod 19 on the bottom of the vessel and is pressed by a spring 21 against the bottom cushion. The spring 21 is arranged around the pivot point 20 of the lever. At the inner or lower end of the lever there is attached a vessel 22 which is open at the top, front and back, and also partially at the bottom. It contains a sponge 23. The upper surface of the cushion of the rod ig is level with the surface of the water, so that part of the water is absorbed by the cushion and the moisture thus absorbed is transferred to the sponge contained in the vessel 22. The sponge thus does not come into direct contact with the water in the vessel 22, thereby avoiding excessive moisture in the sponge.

Claims (1)

At or near the fulcrum of the lever 18 a hook-shaped incision 2 3 ^a is made, against which, when the table 12 is pushed outward, the rod 15 of the table hits, so that the sponge or other wetting agent from the upholstery is thrown through this lever 19 is lifted off and up. ' In the upper part of the housing A a drum 24 is mounted. The same can be turned at will from the outside by means of a button 24 ^a or the like, which sits on the shaft of the drum. A label strip 25 is wrapped around the drum. The same runs over a guide roller 26 which sits at the end of a resilient rod which is carried by a holder 26 ^a . Below the mark drum, in the lower part of the chamber A, is a disk 27, which has teeth 28 around its circumference, which are spaced apart from one another in such a way that the teeth enter the perforations between the individual marks when the mark strip follows after leaving the guide roller 26 is guided around the disk 27. The lowest mark extends partially through an opening 29 in the bottom of the chamber (FIG. 4) and is guided to the opening by a resilient plate 30. This resilient plate 30 is provided with cutouts in order to allow the pins 28 of the wheel 27 to pass through. A resilient bracket 31 is in front and on best fixed above the disc 27 in the housing and extends circumferentially along the disc, lays itself against the marks and holds the latter in place. the The resilient bracket receives tension through a door 34, which is located on the front Edge of the housing is located and through which the branded strip is inserted and on the Drum is attached. The door hinge presses against the bracket 31 when the door closed is. A piston 32 slides up and down in the housing A behind the disk 27 and, as it moves, passes through the bottom of the housing, immediately in front of the opening 29, through which the marks pass. The piston can be pressed down sufficiently until it lies against the cushion 13 of the table 12. The piston is held in its upper position inside the housing by means of the spring 33, which tensions when the piston is moved downwards. A lever 36 is rotatably attached to the rear of the housing A. The same is provided at its rear end with a hook 36 ^a or the like. This lever is usually in its upper oblique position by means of a spring held 37 which is secured to the housing on the one hand, and on the other hand, to the cross bar 37 ^a, the latter of which extends from one arm of the lever to the other and through arcuate slots 38, which in the sides of the housing are located, is passed through. If the lever 36 ^{is pressed downwards, the connecting rod 37a} hits the upper part of the piston 32 and presses the latter downwards. The connecting rod 37 ^a is provided with an arm 37 ^b (Fig. 3), which is directed downwards and bent at an angle. This engages in a slot 39 which is made in one side of the housing (see Fig. 3). This bent part of the lever arm ^37b now engages in one of the recesses 40 which are attached to the outer surface of the disk 37. These recesses are arranged more or less inclined. Each time the lever 36 is pressed downwards, the bent part of the lever ^{37b will} slide over the bevel of the disc bearing the tokens without rotating the same. If, however, the lever 36 is pulled upwards by the spring 37, the bent part of ^37b hits the square or straight part 40 and will now turn the disc in a direction such that the next mark is brought into the opening 29 of the housing . A pawl 41 is used to hold the wheel in place when the machine is not in use. If you want to use the machine, the lever 36 is pressed down with the thumb of the right hand, for example, the fingers of the right hand naturally fall down so that they can grasp the handle 16 of the table. However, before the lever 36 is moved, the handle 16 is pressed inwards so that the sponge or moistening device, which is in the water container of the foot, is moved upwards and comes into contact with the rubberized surface of the stamp. The upper surface of the mark lies directly below the piston 32; If you let go of the handle 16, the table will return to its initial position, whereupon the lever 36 is pressed downwards, and with it the piston 32 and the front edge of the piston, which is provided with teeth 32 ^a . The piston will detach the mark from the adjacent mark on its downward movement and then press the moistened mark onto the envelope or package which has previously been placed on the table 12 below the piston. Pateντ claim: A device for sticking marks, characterized in that it is pushed outwards of the spring-loaded The table (12) ^{pushes a rod (15) attached to it against the shoulder (23 a} ) of the lever (18) arranged under the table, so that the other end (22) of the lever (22), which is always provided with a moist sponge ( 18) goes up and moisten the mark of a brand strip (25) located under the piston (32), whereupon the piston (32) is moved downwards by pressing down the lever (36) after the table (12) has returned and thereby the moistened Brand separates the brand strip and sticks it on the envelope to be placed underneath, while when moving up the piston (32) together with lever (36) a rod (37 ^b ) attached to the latter rotates a transport disk (27), creating a new brand under the Piston (32) is pushed. 1 sheet of drawings.
