Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writing reproduction machine intended to bring a special personalization to automated mail by ensuring reproduction with an ink pen designer, for example, of signatures, initials, even polite expressions.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a reproduction machine pantograph writing and aims to improve the control system of this pantograph.
  • pantograph writing reproduction machines There are several known pantograph writing reproduction machines. Such a system is generally considered preferable, for this use, to that of a plotter operating in X-Y, relatively slow when it comes to reproduce irregular curves such as those encountered in handwriting and / or signature.
  • the French patent FR-A-2 420 437 describes a pantograph with two branches each comprising two articulated end-to-end and joined by a joint in the vicinity to which is attached the tracer element which can be constituted by a simple ink pen.
  • the mechanism is provided with feelers arranged to follow the edges of an endless flexible ribbon which constitutes a sort of cam command for execution of signatures. Scrolling the tape conditions the movement of each probe and consequently of each branch of the pantograph.
  • the endless ribbon is replaced by a circular wooden tray with an ornate outline to control the movements of the two branches of the pantograph and therefore the path of the tracer element.
  • the ribbon or the circular tray or more generally the element constituting the control cam is representative of a signature given.
  • the development of such an element requires complicated operations and costly.
  • the invention makes it possible to solve all these problems by proposing a motorization of the pantograph.
  • the invention relates to a reproduction machine of writing, in particular of signature, of the type comprising a pantograph bearing a tracer element such as a stylographer or the like, characterized in that two branches of said pantograph are respectively provided with axes of maneuver coupled to respective rotary drive means, electrically controlled and in that it further comprises means for control of said drive means, capable of delivering information electrics representative of a predetermined handwritten plot.
  • the pantograph can have two branches with two articulated elements joined by a joint in the vicinity of which is attached said tracer element.
  • the two ends of these two branches are respectively provided with the aforementioned operating axes, driven by two electric motors.
  • stepper motors are used ordered in open loop.
  • motors can also be used. direct current controlled in position by optical encoder or the like or contactless motors slaved in the same way.
  • each motor is coupled to an operating axis correspondent of the pantograph by a reducing mechanism.
  • This mechanism reducer can for example consist of a worm screw fixed to the shaft of the motor and a pinion or toothed sector secured to the operating axis.
  • Other reducers can be used, for example with toothed belts or gears, this list not being exhaustive. We can also consider remove reducers using high torque motors, in gear direct on each operating axis.
  • the control means advantageously include a memory in which is stored representative information of trips synchronized between the two motors. It is the reading and decoding of information registered in this memory, in a predetermined order and at the rate of a clock, which controls the movement of the two motors and therefore the movement of the stylographer carried by the end of the pantograph.
  • Memory therefore advantageously replaces the cam system previously used.
  • the memory can be a preprogrammed read only memory and contain information to reconstruct, for example, both a signature and an appropriate support formula.
  • Packaging in form of a read only memory is advantageous insofar as this can easily be integrated into a removable module that can be replaced by another similar module containing information representative of another route predetermined, namely another signature and / or another formula.
  • Memory also contains information to control the lifting of the pantograph so that the pen is not always in contact with the sheet of paper, if necessary for the desired reproduction.
  • the pantograph has a lifting lever made up of several articulated elements, the lever being controlled by an electric actuator such as a motor or a electromagnet associated with a cam.
  • the cam operates the lever, which is attached to the two aforementioned branches of the pantograph, preferably at the point of articulation of these two branches.
  • the writing machine 11 illustrated in the drawings comprises a pantograph 13 carrying a tracer element 14 in this case a fountain pen.
  • This pantograph evolves over a flat surface 15 on which one can put a sheet of paper 16.
  • Processing mechanisms of known sheets can be adapted to successively present the documents to initial on this surface. These mechanisms are not part of the invention and will therefore not be described in detail.
  • the pantograph shown here is a pantograph with two branches 19a, 19b, additionally provided with a lifting lever 22.
  • Each branch has two rectilinear elements articulated end-to-end.
  • the branch 19a comprises a first element 23a connected by a hinge 24a to a second element 25a which carries at its other end a support 29 capable of receiving the stylographer 14.
  • the other branch has a first element 23b similar to that (23a) of branch 19a and a second element 25b connected to the first element 23b, by a hinge 24b.
  • the other end of the second element 25b is connected to the second element 25a of the branch 19a by a hinge 28 located near the stylograph support 29.
  • each branch is further provided with an axis of operation 30a, 30b, more particularly an axis extending perpendicular to the corresponding branch and secured to the end of the first element 23a or 23b opposite the articulation 24a or 24b.
  • axes of maneuver are respectively coupled to drive means in separate rotation 32a, 32b, electrically controlled.
  • the machine is supplemented by control means 33 of these drive means, suitable to deliver electrical information representative of a handwritten trace predetermined.
  • the drive means include two electric motors 34a, 34b respectively mechanically coupled to the two maneuvering axes 30a, 30b mentioned above via, in the example described, a corresponding reduction mechanism 35a, 35b.
  • a reducing mechanism here comprises a worm screw 36 fixed to the end of the motor shaft and a toothed sector 37, forming a pinion, integral with the operating axis.
  • the axis of rotation of the toothed sector coincides with the axis above-mentioned maneuver.
  • the two motors are here advantageously motors step-by-step which have the advantage of being able to be ordered in a loop open in one direction or the other with great precision in position and displacement.
  • a tension spring 39 is pre-stressed between the elements 23a, 23b, for catching up.
  • the lifting lever 22 has several rectilinear elements articulated end-to-end.
  • the element 40 is mounted on a pivot 41 so as to be able tilt in a plane perpendicular to the flat surface 15 on which we place the piece of paper.
  • One of its ends is in contact with a cam 42 driven by a motor 43. This one turns half a turn each time it receives a control pulse, which has the effect of placing the cam in two possible positions and therefore to tilt the element 40 towards either of two possible positions.
  • the other end of this element is connected by a hinge 44 to a second rectilinear element 45, itself connected by a hinge 46 to a third rectilinear element 47.
  • the end opposite of the latter is attached to the two branches 19a, 19b of the pantograph at the junction point of the two elements 25a, 25b located near the support 29 for stylographer.
  • the purpose of this arrangement is to support the branches of the pantograph and therefore the stylographer by holding the latter at a certain height above the flat surface in case of non-writing and in letting it rest on it, and therefore on the paper surface in case writing.
  • Joints 44 and 46 have perpendicular pins to elements 40, 45 and 47 constituting the lifting lever 22.
  • Figures 2 to 4 show better the structure of the branches, the articulations between their elements, their attachment and their junction with the lifting lever 22.
  • the articulation 24a which connects the elements 23a and 25a is a ball joint.
  • Ball 50a is retained in a hole through element 25a and is partially engaged in a smaller hole of element 23a by being urged to bear on the perimeter of this hole by a leaf spring 52a fixed to a small column integral with the element 23a.
  • the spring itself has a hole in which the ball 52a is partially engaged.
  • the assembly is the same for the articulation 24b which connects the elements 23b and 25b.
  • the spring has a hole in which the ball is partially engaged.
  • the elements 25a and 25b meet at the joint 28 made up of two tubular sliding rings 54, 55, shouldered, coaxial.
  • the rings are of different diameters and engaged one inside the other.
  • the ring 55 of larger diameter is mounted in a hole in the element 25a while the ring 54 of smaller diameter is mounted in a hole in element 25b.
  • the two rings are assembled by a screw 56 axially passing through the ring 54 and protruding upward.
  • a nut 57 and a washer 58 hold the two rings one inside the other around the screw.
  • a leaf spring 60 is mounted between a support 62 and the articulation 28.
  • the support 62 is itself installed on the element 23a by means of a small ball bearing 64.
  • the spring ends, on the side of the joint 28, with a fork which bears on washer 58.
  • the force that the spring is likely to exert on the joint 28 is adjusted by a button screw 66 mounted on the support 62 and of which the end is supported on the spring.
  • the upper part of the mounting screw 56 is surrounded by a sleeve 68 of electrically insulating material.
  • This sleeve is topped with a nut metal 70 (screwed onto screw 56) forming an electrical contact stop at adjustable positioning.
  • the end of element 47 of the lifting lever has a hole through which it is attached to joint 28. More particularly, the screw 56 and the sleeve 68 pass through the hole; a ring game sufficient is provided to allow the lever to occupy two possible positions compared to the pantograph.
  • the elements of the lever and those of the pantograph are electrically conductive material (typically metallic) with the exception of sleeve 68.
  • the pantograph is electrically isolated from the rest of the machine so that electrical contact between said lever and said pantograph is or is not established according to the position of the lever 22.
  • the stylographer (not shown) is assumed to be in contact with the sheet of paper while the element 47 occupies an intermediate position along the sleeve insulating. No electrical contact is made between the lever and the pantograph.
  • Figure 4 when the lever 22 is in the high position to raise the pen of the stylographer, an electrical contact is established between the element 47 and the nut 70. Such an electrical contact is therefore representative of a feather lift and exploited as such.
  • the end of element 47 has no other influence on the pantograph than lifting the stylographer in certain circumstances.
  • the pantograph places the stylograph in a predetermined position with regard to the flat surface and the lifting lever keeps the stylographer above this flat surface, without contact with the paper.
  • a reset procedure is implemented work to reposition the pantograph in this predetermined position after lifting the stylographer 14.
  • a program of displacement of the motors is implemented until an optical stop or mechanical is reached, indicating that the pantograph is in position for write again.
  • control means 33 comprise a memory M in which information representative of synchronized movements of the two motors 34a, 34b and also of the information representative of the actuation of the motor 43.
  • this memory M is a read only memory preprogrammed. It is here part of a removable module 75 capable of being connected to the other circuits of the control means 33, via a connector 76 suitable.
  • a given module 75 containing information representative of a particular signature, possibly accompanied by a suitable handwritten message can be quickly and at any moment replaced by another similar module containing information representative of another predetermined route consisting for example of another signature and / or other suitable handwritten formula.
  • the control means 33 comprise, in connection with this memory M, reading and decoding means symbolized here by a processor 78 associated with its program memory Mp, to read and decode information entered in read-only memory, in a predetermined order and to the rhythm of a clock H.
  • the processor is arranged to deliver three control signals, respectively applied to the inputs of three amplifiers 80, 81, 82 whose outputs are respectively connected to motors 34a, 34b and 43.
  • the signals delivered by the processor to the different amplifiers are simple impulses, positive or negative, appearing at predetermined times, relative to each other, as the memory is read dead M to the rhythm of the clock. These impulses translate into the displacement of the end of the pantograph carrying the stylograph to reproduce the desired formula and / or signature.
  • the motor 43 is controlled and the pen is lifted at the same time as the contact electric is established between the element 47 and the nut 70.
  • This contact information is taken into account and "monitored” by the processor while the pantograph moves stylograph to new recovery position writing. This position is for example read in the memory M.
  • the motor 43 is again commanded to lower the lever but the processor does not start reading the information contained in the memory M at the rhythm clock H that when the electrical contact disappears, indicating that the pen is actually in contact with the paper.
  • Optical sensors 81, 82, 83 respectively opposite parts detectable sectors 37 and lever 40 allow to account for effective positions of the pantograph branches and the lever.
  • a system using a scanner can be used to digitize the writing and position it in a corresponding space to the actual dimensions of the pantograph.
  • the writing is analyzed point by point and transformed into digital data which is memorized then transferred from the same way to an exploitable read-only memory. If the ROM is not removable, a reprogrammable read-only memory can be used.
  • the machine can be simplified.
  • the lifting lever can be removed if care is taken that the entire chassis is mounted with the possibility of tilting around an axis passing substantially through the center of gravity of the device. In these conditions, it is the entire device that pivots to raise or lower the stylographer when you want to write.
  • the lever can be removed if the support 29 is transformed to that it includes means making it possible to raise or lower the stylographer compared to the two branches of the pantograph.
  • a sliding device or “elevator” is mounted at the end of the pantograph and powered by a motor small electric vehicle with appropriate gear reduction to ensure up or down movement of the stylographer.
  • a long arm mounted in pendulum can be pressed on the underside of elements 25a, 25b of the pantograph, the arm being provided at its end with a rigid perpendicular rod long enough to cover the average displacement value of a pantograph.
  • a motor electric fitted with a cam, a screw or any other system which transforms a rotary movement in rectilinear movement.
