Definitions

  • the aim of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by eliminating the risk of stains caused by inking and, thus, to produce a simple machine capable of being used even by young children.
  • the object of this invention is in fact a small printing machine comprising a plate for guiding the paper to be printed, a means for supporting the printing product and, above this printing product, a rotary drum provided with holding means. of printing forms forming reliefs the thickness of which is at least equal to the distance between the drum and the product. printing, so that when the drum is rotated, these reliefs apply the paper to the printing product which prints the reliefs on its underside, characterized in that the printing product is a fatty, colored, lodged chalk in a transverse slot interrupting the paper guide plate, and in that the holding means are ribs for hanging printing forms having reliefs whose thickness is greater than the distance at rest between the end of the ribs and the printing product.
  • the paper is pressed enough against the chalk for it to print the desired pattern and only it, the chalk leaving no trace on the paper nor for that matter on fingers or the like when the pressure is not high enough. All the elements of the machine can therefore be handled without inconvenience, as often as desired.
  • the chalk is placed in a removable drawer which contains an elastic cushion pushing it towards the plate and the rotary cylinder.
  • the chalk can thus be replaced whenever desired and its color changed accordingly.
  • the tray is part of a base which includes a reserve of paper in the form of a reel capable of being unwound continuously.
  • the rotary cylinder is coated with a sleeve carrying ribs and the latter are provided with hooking heads for elastic printing forms, which are thus easily removable but securely held on the cylinder.
  • the printing machine shown in the drawings comprises a base 1 forming a plate 2, on either side of which rise two parallel vertical flanks 4.
  • the two flanks 4 are pierced with two identical coaxial holes, in which the ends 6 and 8 of the axis 10 of a drum 12.
  • a pad 7 is interposed between each of the ends, respectively 6 and 8, and the corresponding sidewall 4, so that these ends freely rotate in the sides and the drum can rotate relative to the base 1.
  • the internal surface of each of the ends 6 and 8 has a polygonal cross section, so as to cooperate with a correspondingly shaped end piece 14, integral with a manual drive member such as 'a crank, 16 (fig. 2).
  • the drum 12 carries on its outer surface a sleeve 18 provided with outer ribs, parallel to its axis. At least some of these ribs 19 have an enlarged head 20, forming a hooking element.
  • the ribs 19 provided with hooking heads 20 alternate with wide ribs 22.
  • Such ribs effectively cooperate with printing forms 24 which have lower branches 25 and 26 terminated by hooks 27.
  • Such a printing form can in fact be fitted onto the wide rib 22, so that its two arms 26 and 25 penetrate into the space between this rib and the neighboring ribs 19 and that the two hooks 27 lock against the adjacent fastening heads 20.
  • the printing forms 24 are produced in an elastic material, so that their installation and removal are carried out easily.
  • the printing form 24 includes reliefs 28 which constitute the element to be printed and represent the outline of a letter, a figurine or any other pattern to be printed.
  • the plate 2 is interrupted by a transverse slot 30, the upper part of which is flared and delimited by two opposite transverse walls, inclined, respectively 31 and 33, and which forms a housing 32 for a removable drawer 34
  • a stick of fatty and colored chalk 36 rests on an elastic element 38 constituted for example by two layers of foam material.
  • the elastic element 38 pushes the chalk 36 upwards, that is to say towards the outside of the drawer, and normally maintains it substantially at the level of the plate 2.
  • the outside diameter of the ribs 19 and 22 is substantially equal to the distance between the axis of rotation of the drum 12 and the upper face of the plate 2, so that when the drum 12 is rotated, the ribs of the sleeve 18 are flush with the chalk 36 without touching it.
  • the reliefs 28 successively apply the paper against the plate at the edge 35 of the slot 30 and entrain it in the direction of the chalk 36, then rub this paper against the chalk 36 repelled by the elastic element 38.
  • the exit of the paper from the slot 30 takes place freely without contact with the reliefs, since the wall 33 is much more inclined than the inlet wall 31.
  • the underside of the paper 40 has received all of the impressions corresponding to the shapes 24 carried by the latter.
  • This paper can be permanently removed or reintroduced to be printed again on its other side with the same printing forms or using other forms, since these are easily replaceable.
  • the base 1 is hollow and is closed at its lower part by a bottom 42 provided with a vertical flange 43, which allows its fixing by snap-fastening in a corresponding groove 44 of the base itself.
  • This bottom 42 is also integral with two flanges 46 each comprising a notch 48, of semi-circular shape, in which the end of the axis 50 journals the end of a paper reserve reel 52.
  • the printing machine can thus being fed continuously and the printing reproduced as many times as desired on the paper of the reel 52, which takes place under the action of driving the reliefs 28.
  • the plate comprises, along each side 4, a longitudinal boss 54 which guides the paper 40 and facilitates its centering.
  • the bosses or ramps 54 also facilitate the centering of the drum 12 by projecting on either side of the sleeve 18.
  • a semi-cylindrical cover 56 having a diameter slightly greater than that of the drum 12 and capable of fitting onto the sides 4.
  • Each of these sidewalls preferably has an annular allowance 57 around the orifice for the passage of the axis 10 of the drum 12, and the cover 56 has lateral openings of corresponding shape, so that it comes to bear on the extra thicknesses 57 of these sides 4.
  • the cover also provides support which allows the machine to be held during the rotation of the crank and thus facilitates this rotation.
  • This cover is preferably transparent, which allows the child using the machine to see the characters turn and thus to monitor the drum despite the presence of the cover.
  • the sleeve 18 is not provided with ribs over its entire surface, but has a smooth part corresponding for example to 1/4 or 1/5 of the length of its circumference. Consequently, to introduce the paper 40 between the drum and the plate 2, it suffices to place this drum in such a way that the smooth part 58 of the sleeve 18 is located opposite the slot 30 and the chalk 36, which leaves a space for the passage of paper between the drum and the plate 2, on each side of the transverse slot 30.
  • the maneuver to be operated is thus extremely simple, while all the members are easily visible. A child, even a young one, can therefore use the machine without difficulty.
  • the printing forms 24 carry characters or figurines in relief, at the place, exactly as they will be printed on the back of the paper and, therefore, easily recognizable for a child who can easily compose a set of letters and images that he will find as is on paper.
  • these forms are never in contact with the chalk 36 and remain intact even after a large number of uses.
  • the chalk itself can be handled without danger, because the fatty, colored chalks do not stain on contact and require a relatively large pressure force to leave a trace.
  • the slot 30 is preferably open at its two ends, which makes it possible to slide the drawer one way or the other.
  • the crank 16 can be placed at will at the end 6 or at the end 8 of the axis 10 of the drum. This gives a very simple ease of use, either with the left hand or with the right hand.
  • the base 1 can also be used not only as a reserve of paper, but also as a storage magazine for printing forms, chalks or any other organ.
  • the base 1 may include, as shown in Figure 1, one or more drawers 60, 62, or any other storage means.
  • the entire machine is preferably made by molding in plastic material, or the like, but it is obvious that it can also be made in any other material.
  • the shape of the ribs carried by the sleeve 18 can be modified according to the uses and the method of attachment of the printing forms.
  • the diameter of the drum as well as its axial dimension can also vary, but they are preferably chosen according to the conventional formats of sheets of commercial paper. For example, a drum carrying ribs over a length of 29.7 cm will preferably have a useful axial dimension of 10.5 cm, which makes it possible to very simply print sheets of standard format cut in half.
