INDICATING DEVICE FOR NUMBERING-MACHINES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 21, 1915.
Application filed. August 3, 1914. Serial No. 854,782.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. FORCE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the borough of Brooklyn, city of New York, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Indicating Devices for Numbering-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to indicating devices for numbering machines for the purpose of showing whether the mechanism is set for consecutive, duplicate, triplicate or repeat numbering and my object is the production of a device from which the setting can be instantly read by an operator either standing up or sitting down without the necessity of picking up and handling the machine.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a view of the entire machine in the downward or print ing position; Fig. 2 a view of the indicating disk; and Fig. 3 a view of the indicator in the usual or raised position.
The numbering machine is of the usual type having four actions, that is it may be set to number consecutively, in duplicate, in triplicate or repeat indefinitely and these results are secured by turning a disk to the proper point. Heretofore the indicators of the action for which the machine is set have been placed in such position that the operator is obliged to pick up the machine and carefully examine it to determine the setting before using the same.
My invention enables the operator, either sitting or standing, to at once determine the setting of the machine and only the action for which the machine is set in view thereby avoiding possible confusion.
The numbering machine is of the usual type with a frame carrying the mechanism and operated by a stem or handle. The setting for performing the different actions is accomplished by rotating the disk 1, it belng provided with means for controlling the action of the mechanism which form no part of this invention. A plate 2 on the mechanism covers the disk 1 but has an aperture 3 through which the disk 1 proects in such a way that the edge and a portion of the top can be plainly seen. The Words or symbols indicating the setting of the machine are engraved in pairs on the edge and top of the disk as shown in Fig. 2 so that the edge markings will be visible to a seated operator and the top markings to a standing operator through the aperture in the plate while the other markings will be concealed. The engraved markings also form a milling for the easier revolution of the disk in setting.
I do not limit myself to the precise form of plate and disk shown in the drawing but claim In a numbering machine having a plurality of actions, revoluble disk setting means, an apertured cover plate over said setting means through the aperture of which a portion of the setting means projects and is visible, indicator symbols on the top face and edge of the setting means adapted to be successively exposedthrough the aperture in the plate whereby the setting of the machine may be determined while either sitting or standing.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM A. FORGE;
IRVING KATZ.
