Abstract
981,856. Selective printers. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. Nov. 22, 1963 [Dec. 3, 1962], No. 46157/63. Heading B6F. Web, sheet, strip feeding; guiding and transverse adjustment arrangements; tensioning arrangements; couplings. - A high speed printer, including a type cylinder 28, Fig. 2, and a plurality of hammers 30, Fig. 1, aligned linearly in a hammer assembly 31, is provided with a sheet feeding mechanism for advancing continuous sheet material 27 past the printing station of the printer and comprises a pair of upper and lower tractor support shafts 13, 14 and a pair of upper and lower tractor drive shafts 15, 16, the respective upper and lower shafts 13, 15 and 14, 16 having mounted thereon a pair of pin feed tractors 25, 26, the pairs being laterally adjustable individually to accommodate sheet material of different widths or in unison in one direction or another for registration of the the sheet material with respect to the printer. Each tractor comprises a frame 35 supporting sprocket gear means keyed to shafts 15 or 16 and driving a sprocket chain the links of which carry pins 38 engaging holes 40 formed in the margins of the sheet material 27. Each tractor is provided with a pivotal retainer 41 for holding the sheet in engagement with the pins 38 and each tractor also includes a clamping lever 42 for securing it in an adjusted position. The pairs of tractors 25 and 26 which are in vertical alignment are attached to bands 45 . . . 48, passing over pulleys 65 . . . 68 and drums 56, 61, 57 and 62, respectively, to provide for lateral adjustment of the tractors for coping with sheet material of varying width. The pair of tractors 25 is attached to bands 45, 48, which co-operate with drums 56, 57 fast on a shaft 55, Fig. 3, which is rotated via a bevel gear 80 and pinion 81 by a control knob 84. The pair of tractors 26 co-operates with bands 46, 47 and drums 61, 62 fast on a coaxial shaft 60 operated via gears 90, 91 by a control knob 94. To adjust all four tractors simultaneously without altering the spacing, i.e. when changing registration relative to the printing station the drum 56 is provided with a coil 95 which when energized attracts the drum 61 to form an electromagnetic coupling whereby the shafts 55, 60 rotate together and the tractors 25, 26 may be shifted in unison in one direction or another by manipulation of one of the control knobs 84 or 94. To retain the sheet material in a desired state of tension the second pair of tractors in front of the printing station, such as the tractors 25, 26 on the shafts 14, 16 has been provided.
