Be it known that We, MEREDITH G; STAND Lnyand CHARLES W. GosNELL, citizens of the United States, residing at Ciiieinnati, in the county of" Hamilton and Stiftkof Ohio, have invented certain new and use.- in Hand-Stamps, of

This invention relates to a '1i anc,l-stanip embodying the general pr nc ples of construction and operation disclosed and claimed in 'the pending application ofMereditli G. Standley Serial No. 726,740, filed One of the objects of the present inventioniis to PIOVldG an improved structural organization for relatively supporting the working parts in a manner to improvethe eflicien'cy of the operation, as well as enabling a simpler ual manipulation of the stamp.

Another object of tlieinventionis to provide means for feeding the record'strip and inking strip rolls, an'i'inproved inking rib hon reversing mechanism; and to provide means for most efficiently supporting and correlating these working elements to the structural elements ofthe stamp. Another object of the invention relates to means for mounting the printing disk and record rolls on one hinged: member of the body, with the inking ribbon rolls, fiXed' printing surface and plateirniounted on another hinged nember-ofjthe body, so that they are separably supported, enabling the to be handled withoutinking be stamped, with the. adjustable printing surface alone niaking an impresi sioi j oii't-he record strip. so that the step need only aioyeinentjof the. recordstrip I i the adjustoii'dto the dimensions of )i'i nting'surface. a

ribbon strip are so correlated to one another and to the machine elements that the type teeth of the printing disk are not inked directly, but-"operate by directly. contacting the record strip, the record strip contacting the ribbon, which in turn contacts the article to be stamped, the record strip'being a. transpicuous material so that the printing cha 'acters which are reversely impressed thereon may be read through the transpicuous record strip.

These and other features of the invention will be more, fully understood in connect1onw1tlrthe. description of the a'ccoinpany mg drawings forming a part of this speci- 1 preferred embod ment of the invention.

Said plate 4 is orifieed at 9, (see Fig. 6), opposite the platen block 10, of plate 2,

through which the typedisk operates to impress the article to bestamped. The inkin ing ribbon 11 is threaded thro h orifices lil,

The pawls are alternately engagul and disengaged from their respective ratchet wheels for feeding the ribbon in step movements, a predeter mined distance each way. A plate 73 is pivotd' to lever 61' at 74, and to lever 67 at 75, andsaid levers have medial contact at 76, so that they will move in unison. A reversibl'e pawl trip 77 is pivoted at 78 to trip fulcrum point moving in. a vertical plane because of said lever connections. Said trip hasa right-hand finger 79, engaging pawl 64, and a left-hand finger 80, engaging pawl 70, to function the pawl and ratchet Wheel appropriate to the position of trip 77' on plate 73. Said trip is shifted by the engagement of its downward projected 'dogsgfil, 82, withthe sliding dogs 83,v 84, of the: base plate 4,.
