Definitions
- the present invention relates to the specific field of treatment of mail. It relates more particularly to a printing mechanism making it possible to recognize the mail carrier from the postage imprint applied to a mail item, previously selected by the user of the franking machine.
- this marking capable to be controlled by the user of the postage meter is obtained by any protected printing medium, for example a rotary plate drum printing, electronically controlled for printing a plurality of distinctive marks selectable.
- the specific mark is printed on a specified location of the mail item, preferably in the immediate vicinity of the complex postal imprint.
- the drum print this specific mark by through a swivel shot.
- the drum print this specific mark by via a print wheel.
- the drum print this specific mark by a own control device such as an articulated lifter or a camshaft.
- Figures 1 to 8 show different modes of production of a marking device in accordance with the invention.
- Figures 9 to 16 show examples impressions obtained using these devices.
- a wheel 3 or 4 can be placed adjacent to the 5 value knobs to specify as many postal services as implantable printing pads.
- This wheel can be placed in the 1st or 4th row for a set of three value dials, in the 1st or 5th row for a set of four value dials, on the 1st or 6th rank for a set of five value knobs ...
- the impression obtained is represented in FIGS. 12 and 13. This solution allows five to nine choices in each case.
- an arrangement 6 with five sides called penta allows specify five different postal services.
- An impression obtained is represented in FIG. 14. This solution allows five choices for the marking symbolized by the letter X.
- a lifter 7 is articulated on the axis 8 of the rollers and actuated by a pinion, in the same way as the wheels, and allows to print either above or below the postage value at inside the stamp, one mark among two correspondents to the chosen service.
- a tree with cams 9, driven by a pinion alternately raises a cliché 10 of five printing a mark above or below the postage value inside the stamp and corresponding to the chosen service.
- FIGS. 15 and 16 Impressions obtained with these last two modes embodiments are shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. In each case, five choices are possible, each with a different location.
- Such printing means make it possible to differentiate postage imprints of items to be routed through different postal services, for example letters sent by post and parcels routed by a private transporter.
- the user can from the keyboard of the machine postage choose the service which must convey the object.
- the printing medium and the accounting means are protected by sealing.
- This mark (characters alphanumeric, logo, etc.) can be done anywhere inside the footprint by different means mechanical to choose from at least two postal services or more depending on the means used.
