Application filed January 31, 1914. Serial No. 815,584.
' .To all whom it may concern:
yBe it known that I, JESSE. D. LYON, a citizen of thevUnited States of America,
" and resident of Cincinnati, county ci' Hann ile vmark his name upon a golf ball. This and other' objects are attained in the apparatus described in the 'following specification, and 'illustrated .in the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figurev 1 is a fragmental side sectional elevation of a machine embodying -my in- Vention. Fig. 2 is a fragmental end elevation of the-machine illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmental sectional end view, taken, on line 3-3 of Fig. Ll. Figze is a plan view .of the device, with the parts occupying the same positions shown in Fig.
3. Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are views illus-v trating details of my invention. u
The device illustrated consists of a base 9, upon which is mounted a ball clamp erating device 13. The ball clamp consists holder 1Q, a marking-die operating mechanism 11, upon which a ball'm'arkingdie holder-12 is mounted, and a ball clamp opo two cup-shaped jaws 14 and 15, which are mounted on the ends of two stub shafts 16 and 17, sli'dingly mounted in bearings 18 and 19, respectively. StandardsjQO, 21, 22
' and 23 are formed on the base, adjacent to the cup-shaped'jaws 14 and 15 ot the ball clamp, and are adapted to partially emlbrace the jaws, to form guides for them.
between the standards 20 to 23. .A circular plate 27 is located in this opening and is rovided with two eccentric slots 28 and 29; A
the pin 38 of the die-holder.
toms of the clampijaws 14 and l5, and their pins 2i and A pin 31 extends upwardly from plate 30, into an aperture 32centrally located in plate 27, and ali'ords a pivot i bearing for the plate. By rotating plate 27 in a clockwise direction, see Fig. rl-, by means of a handle 33, formed integrally therewith, the two ball clamp jaws 1l and 15 will be caused to move toward each other to'clamp a golf ball placed between them, and by rotating the plate 27 in an anti clockwise direction, they will be moved apart to release the ball..
A forked operating lever 3i is rotatively mounted upon the stub shafts 16 and 1T, its ends occupying slots formed in the bearings 18 and 19. This operating lever is extended upwai'dly to form a handle, having two side members which are spaced apart by a block 35, for the purpose oi receiving,- a die-holder 37. The die-holder carries a, pin 3S, at its upper end, which engages Patented May 1%, 1%15. K
slots 3S), formed in the handle 3st, thereby permitting both rotative and reciprocatory movement of the holder in the slots. The bottom of the bolder is formed with a slot 40, which is adapted to receive a die 11, bearing the character or characters it desired to mark upon the golf ball, while intermediate its ends an arc-shaped slide 4Q is formed for guiding,r the die-holder between the two portions ot the handle.v Pins 43 and il are located at each end of the slide to afford means for limiting the roi tatory movement of, the die-holder. An eccentric l is rotatively'mounted on each side of the ljandle 34, in yposition to contact y A U-shapcd eccentric operating handle 46, embracing,r the end of the handle 34, is formed integrally withthe eccentrics, and is adapted to cause their rotation, to press the marking die into the surface of the ball, when handle 4G is brought toward handle 34, as
shown in Fig. Q, and to release the pressure of the marking-die, when handle -16 is moved to the and Ll.
ln operation: Handle 3i is first moved to the position shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and a die 41 is inserted in the slot 40. The ball to be marked is slipped into position between thejaws. Handle is now moved in a clockwise direction and the ball is securely clamped between the jaws. .The U- sliaped eccentric operating handle 16 isv positionshown in Figs. 3.
engages the ball surface in a rolling contact,
pressing the type on the die into the surface of the ball.
The path described by each type upon the die is in the form of an epicycloidal curve, hence the impression made by the die in the ball surface/is clean cut, because each letter in being pre ed into and in beingwith drawn frorg/lle surface of the ball, travelsy vin a direc ion substantiallyv radial to the I rsphere, thus r,avoiding breaking the edges MMM ' I claimof'the impression.
Jaws ""14 'and' 15 are equally outwardly 'fiar-ed, so that balls of varying sizes may'be placed therein, and when the jaws are y 4moved toward each other, the centerv ofthe ball will be brought into alinement with the centers of shafts 16 and 17, which form the axis of rotation of the die holder, and the plane of rotation of the die.
y 1. In a marking device the combination of a base, a diebperating mechanism pivoted upon the base, a die, means for mounting the die u'pon the 'operating` mechanism in a plane whichy crosses the anis of rotation of the operating mechanism, and vclamps upon the base adapted coincidentally to bring the center of the article to be marked into the axis of rotation of the operative mechanism and the plane of thefdie.
2. ln a marking device the combination of a base, a/ die-operating mechanism pivoted upon the base, a die, means for mounting the dieupon the operating mechanism in a plane at right angles to the axis of rotation of the operating',inechanism, and clamps upon the base adapted coincidentally to bring the center of the article to be marked into the axis of' rotation of theoperative mechanism and the plane of the die. I
In "a ball marking Vdevice the combination of a base, two longitu'll'lal pivot shafts l upon the base, a die-operating mechanism ]ournaled upon the pivot shafts, a clamping he axis of/ adapted 't f, pivot shafts! f inty" vnationof ali edshafts, ball-clamping jaws ymounted upon the shafts 'and adapted to meaeee jaw mounted 'reciprocally upon each pivot shaft, a die mounted upon ,the operatmg -mechanism, and ahandle adapted to reciprocate the jaws upon .the pivot shafts. l
4f ln a ball marking device the combination of 'a base, two longitudinal pivot shafts upon the base, a die-operating mechanism journaled upon the pivot shafts, a clamping jaw mounted re'ciprocally upon each pivot shaft, each jaw being flared so as to bring the diameters of balls of varying sizes into alinement with-the axis of the pivot shafts when the ball is clamped between the jaws, Ca die mounted upon the operating mechanism, and a handle adapted to reciprocate the jaws upon the pivot shafts.
5. In a ball marking device the combination of a base, two longitudinal pivot shafts upon the base, a die-operating mechanism journaled 'upon the pivot shafts, a clamppiyot shaft, a de iounted upon the operati g mechanisr a plane at right'angles to /t/e )pivot shafts, and-a handle reciprocate' the jaws upon the 6. Inra/ball? arking device` the combil so bring a diameter of afb l-placed between them into the aXisf'of/th shafts'a die, means for mounting the die in a plane. at right angles to the axis of the shaft, and means forcausing relative rotation of the die and the clamping 'jaws to roll the/die over the surface of the ball.
7. A ball marking device comprising a base',`a marking die rotatively mounted on the base and/adapted to inlove in a plane, and a ball clampv mounted on 'the base and adapted to more a ball located therein, so that its equator will lie in the plane of rotation of the marking die. l
