To all whom. z' may concern.

Be itI known that I, PETER "iVEiii-Tn.y a citizen of the United States, und n resident. of (Dra-nge., in the oouiij.' ofls and @trite of New Jersey, have invented Certain new and useful Iniproreinents in Numii'i'iring`- Machines, of 'which thu following :i 5pccificatioii. v

My invention relates to numbering ina4 chilies of the type iii which the; numbering Wheels are. mounted in a frame capable o' 'being unive-l up and down within a niaiu.

frame for the purpriae of producing the. cle-- Siret] impressions, Suid numbering wheel frame being normally held in au elevated position hy a spring.

My invention linfa for its objectthe pro vision of improved means for holding the. numbering wheel frame in a depressed posi tion when it is ilenired to change the positiniis of the wheels, :said holding moans liuing automatically relviisod by a Siight a lditional movement oi' said frame iii ii downward direction. Said holding' iiicaus is prei# eral'ily made in the forni oiF i small catch or hook which engages au iiprrturc iii the: plunger by which thcy iiiiii'iliciing wheel frame if; operated. A Spring may im prf vided for noi'i'nailly holiliiig the Ciitch away from said plui'iger.

` Having -now described my inventiomyvha' I claim is: a@

` 1. In a numbering machine, the cenbination of the main frame', a vertically movable numbering wheel frame, -a plunger oonnected to said Wheel frame and provided with a recess, a spring for nornially holding the plungerA and wheel frame in an elevated position, a pin fixed o said main frame and against which one end of. said spring bears, and va catch pivoted at one end to said lpin in such a position as'to be engaged it its free end with said recess when the plunger is depressed, the upper wall of said recess being beveled so as to liberate the catch;A bylmovement of the lunger in a downwardv direction, substantially as set forth. y

2. In anumbering machine, the combination of the main frame, a vertically movable numbering. wheel frame, a plunger connected to said wheel frame and provided with a. recess, the plunger and wheel frame in an elevated position, a pin fixed to said main frame and against which one end of said spring bears, a catch pivoted at one end to said main frame in such position .as to be engagedV at its free end with said recess when the plunger'is depressed, and a spring for normally holding said catch away from said plunger, substantially as set forth.
