Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for marking information on an information carrier applying against a support piece, comprising a rotary stamp for printing the information support when the latter passes between said support piece. and said stamp, the stamp receiving its ink from an inking device and the marking of information on said support produced by a rolling of the stamp on said support, said support piece comprising at least one groove, provided with two edges and a bottom, arranged between planes which frame at least one circular plate of said stamp comprising printing signs, a part of the periphery of the stamp which comprises around said circular plate the printing signs penetrating at least in the absence for carrying information in said groove without touching the edges thereof and return means which act between the axis of the stamp and that of the support piece being provided to bring the stamp and the groove closer to each other .
  • the invention relates to office automation, more precisely to the processing of information, for example to the automated processing of documents and in particular commercial bills, such as checks, bills of exchange, promissory notes, protestable invoices, etc. .
  • the devices intended for this processing of information are evolving both in the direction of an increasing improvement and in the direction of an increasingly reduced bulk.
  • the invention proposes to solve, at a lower cost and with a reduced footprint, a technical problem similar to that posed in the previous paragraph for stamping of information carriers but with less severe constraints than those indicated above: in certain cases, in particular when the stamping must be carried out on the back of the check (the check then having its front applied against the drum), it is admitted that the recording of information can be carried out on all the length of the check, without that synchronization is necessary between the passage of the check and the rotation of the stamp. In this case a precise location of the message on the check is not essential and the message to be written can possibly be repeated on the occasion of each revolution of the stamp.
  • the drawbacks of the prior art indicated lastly are avoided thanks to the fact that the information marking device defined in the preamble is remarkable in that the bottom of said groove comprises the inking device, said means reminder pressing one against the other the stamp and the back of the groove in the absence of information carrier and, said information carriers arriving between the Aimbre and the support piece with a certain gap between them to allow inking of the stamp.
  • the stamp When the front edge of the check reaches, during the advancement of the latter, at the level of the stamp, the part of this edge which covers the throat comes into contact with the stamp and lifts it slightly, a slight hollow then possibly forming on the surface of the check, at the place where the stamp presses against the check, that is to say the place where the printing takes place, the stamp being then driven in rotation, possibly thanks to the friction of its periphery against the check.
  • the stamp and check are in contact with each other, the stamp is already in rotation by contact with the inking device, which is desirable to ensure proper inking of the printing signs and also to avoid slipping during of the transient operating regime caused by the coming into contact of the stamp with the check.
  • An embodiment of the invention is remarkable in that the ink device is constituted by an ink pad inserted at the bottom of said groove.
  • said support piece consists of two parts made integral at the level of the groove, said ink pad, in the form of a ring, being slid at the bottom of the groove prior to the joining of said parts of the support piece.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b is seen seen from above, and in section, an apparatus for marking information consisting of a support piece 1 rotating around an axis 2, of which only the left part is shown and a stamp. 3 consisting of a circular plate and whose axis 4 is rotatably supported by an arm 5 pivotable at its other end about an axis 6.
  • the stamp 3 is inked by any known means, not shown.
  • the axes 2 and 6 are supported by a base plate, not shown, parallel to the plane of the drawing.
  • the main piece 1, driven in rotation by any known means and, preferably, by a belt (not shown) applied on a part of its periphery, has the main function of passing an information support document, for example a commercial paper, such as 7 in FIG.
  • the part 1 can be either the main drum for transporting documents, or a simple roller placed along the path of the documents.
  • the support piece 1 is advantageously a roller of return of the document placed in the immediate vicinity of the main drum.
  • the support piece comprises, at the level of the circular plate of the stamp 3 a groove 8 whose section is of rectangular shape, for example, and in which the periphery of the stamp which has printing signs penetrates freely without touching the edges .
  • the stamp 3 is pressed in the direction of the groove 8 under the action of a spring 9 which exerts a restoring force against the arm 5, in the direction of the arrow 11 (see FIG. 1a).
  • the support piece rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow 12 when the information carrier, driven for example by the support piece 1 against which it is pressed, arrives at the level of the stamp 3, its front edge 10 meets , at the level of the groove 8 the part 14 of the stamp 3 located inside the groove (FIG. 1a), which has the effect of lifting the stamp against the action of the spring 9 in the direction of the arrow 13 , and during all the time of passage of the document 7 to the right of the stamp, the latter rolls without sliding on the document which is thus printed over its entire length.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b which represent an apparatus for marking information in elevation and in top view, respectively, the main elements of FIGS. 1a and 1b appear, indicated by the same references.
  • the groove 8 formed in the support piece 1 has two edges 16 and a bottom 17.
  • a drive or driven belt 18 allows the documents to be pinched between itself and the support piece 1.
  • a base plate 19 rotatably supports the axis 2 of the support piece, 1, as well as a rigidly fixed upright 20.
  • On the upright 20 is rigidly fixed by one of its ends a leaf spring 21, the other end of which is notched to allow the passage of the stamp, is constituted by two arms 22 which rotationally support the axis 4 of the stamp.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 the same references designate the same elements with the same functions as in FIGS. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and, to simplify the drawing, neither the base plate 19 nor the part right of the support piece 1, nor the elastic return means acting on the axis of the stamp which can be as shown in 5, 6 and 9 in Figures 1a and 1b or in 20, 21 and 22 in the figures 2a and 2b.
  • the return means can also act on the axis of the support piece, the axis of the stamp then being fixed relative to the base plate.
  • Figure 4 shows, in top view, possible means for driving the stamp.
  • a pulley 27, integral with the axis 4 is rotated by a belt 28, for example a round belt.
  • the belt 28 is itself driven by a pulley 29, the axis 31 of which is supported by the base plate.
  • the pulley 29 and the support piece 1 are linked in rotation in a desmodromic manner, that is to say that their amounts of rotation are proportional. Under these conditions, the respective diameters of the pulleys 27 and 29 are determined in such a way that, in operation, the tangential speeds at the periphery of the stamp and at the periphery of the support piece are equal.
  • the inking of the stamp is for example carried out in a manner known per se as indicated in FIG.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of the invention which makes it possible to simplify the apparatus notably: it is the bottom of the groove itself which comprises the ink device.
  • an ink pad consisting of an inked strip 32, for example of porous material impregnated with ink or of the agglomerated ink type, is bonded over the entire periphery of the bottom 17 of the groove, its width being substantially equal to the height of the groove. and its thickness less than the depth of the throat.
  • the return means press the stamp and strip 32 against each other so as to ensure correct inking.
  • the operation of the apparatus is that already described above except that during the passage of the document and its printing, the periphery of the stamp bearing the printing signs no longer receives ink.
  • the line printed on the document is clearer at the end than at the beginning. This effect is minimal, however, and the message to be written remains perfectly legible.
  • the inked strip 32 the elasticity of which is low, can be produced in the form of a ring.
  • the support piece is then produced in two parts which can be made integral at the level of the groove.
  • This verianta illustrated in FIG. 6, also makes it possible to develop in a simple manner several superimposed grooves for the inscription of several lines of text by means of an ink pad comprising several circular plates.
  • FIG. 6 also makes it possible to develop in a simple manner several superimposed grooves for the inscription of several lines of text by means of an ink pad comprising several circular plates.
  • the support piece is shown in two separate parts: an upper part 34 which comprises the upper edge and, for example, the bottom of the groove and a lower part 35 which comprises the lower edge of the groove, the bottom of the groove can, conversely, belong to the lower part 35.
  • the stamp 3 comprises for example two circular plates, the upper plate 36 and the lower plate 37.
  • the mounting of the support piece with two grooves with ink rings at the bottom of the groove is carried out as follows: the two parts 34 and 35 being separated, a first ink ring 38 is introduced on the bottom of the groove and pushed upwards until it is close to the upper edge of the groove, then a metal washer 39 is introduced in turn until it touches the ring 38, this washer having as internal diameter the diameter of the bottom of the groove and the same external diameter as that of the piece of support. The operation is repeated for a second ink ring 40. Sliding means being provided between the parts 34 and 35, the part 35 is engaged in the part 34 until the ink ring 38 is near the lower edge. throat: The parts 34 and 35, not shown, are joined together by any known means, for example by screwing one part into the other or by sliding one part into the other, followed by a fastening by bayonet mounting or by screw provided for this purpose.
  • the invention is not limited to the examples described above. During its passage between the stamp and the support piece, the information carrier does not necessarily rotate around the latter. On the other hand, for the embodiments described above with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the movement which is imparted to all of the elements such as the support piece, the stamp, the information medium and possibly the ink pad can be obtained from the drive of any one of these elements or from a combination of two of these driven elements, given the frictionless sliding contact which exists between them.
  • the support piece may also not be circular or rotary, but for example flat, being driven or not by a translational movement for printing the information carrier. In the latter case, the groove has for example the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.
  • the invention is not limited to check readers and counter markers and could also be implemented for example in a printing machine in general and for example in a labeling machine.
