Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 77 of Fig. 3,
Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmental view of a portion of a printing wheel, and,
Fig. 9 is a side elevation of a platen wheel.
In the drawings, wherein is shown a pre ferred form of my invention, the numeral 10 indicatesa base having atop cover 11 secured thereto by means of screws or the like as shown at 12. The cover 11 is pro vided centrally with a rectangular opening 13 and is further provided relatively near the edges thereof with a pair of elongated openings 14, which openings receive the bent ends 15 of an adjustable guide 16, the guide being mounted upon the upper faces of the cover 11 as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
To a lip 17 preferably formed integral with the base 10 as clearly shown in Fig. 5 there is secured a spring 18 by means of a screw or the like 19. The free end of the spring 18 is arranged to normally engage a platen releasing lever 20, the lever 20 being secured at one end to an E-shaped member 21 carried by the base 10 while the free end of the lever 20 is projected through an opening 22 provided by the base 10. To
the spring 18 substantially intermediate its ends there is secured a U-shaped platen wheel frame 23 within which there is jour-.
naled. a platen wheel indicated as a whole by the numeral 24, the platen wheel comprising a center hub 25 upon which is -mounted an annularring 26 provided Fig. 6 is a bottom plan viewbfthe maa serrated face as shown at 27 the annular ring 26 being retained upon the center .hub 25 by means of a separable shoulder 28. To one end of the base 10 there is secured a fender 29 hearing a spaced relationwith respect to the cover 11 as clearly shown in Fig. 4.
The fender 29 is provided relatively near its free end with an opening 30. the open ing being arranged directly above the platen wheel 24 as clearly shown in Fig. 4 in order that a portion of a check or the like indicated by the numeral 31 may be effectively operated upon as will be more readily understood when considering the heroinafter described operation of the machine. To one end of the base 19 there is connected a vertically arranged pintle 32 upon which is loosely mounted a sleeve 33 which sleeve is provided with a pair of arms 34. l/Vithin the arms 34 there is' journalcd a shaft 35, which shaft is secured to the side walls 36 of a housing 37 by means of screws or the like 38. \Vithin the housing 37 there is journalcd a shaft upon which is mounted a hub 40 carrying a printing wheel 41, the printing wheel and hub being cured in position by means of a set screw 42 one end of which engages the shaft 39 as clearly shown in Fig. 5. Upon the periphery of the printing wheel 41 there is arranged a plurality of printing blocks These printing blocks, as clearly shown in Fig. 8, are arcuate in shape, they having a center of curvature coincident with the axis of the pintlc 32 and are provided with suitable indicia as shown. To the shaft 39 there is secured a ratchet wheel 44 which cooperates with a co-acting spring pressed pawl 45, the pawl 45 being arranged within the housing 37 and Serving as a means for preventing accidental rotation of the printing wheel 41 during the printing operation.
I'Vithin the casing 37 there is arranged a pair of inking rollers 45 which are loosely mounted upon spindles 47 carried by plates 48, which plates are pivotally connected to the housing 37 by means of screws or the like 49. In order to retain the inking rolls 46 firmly in contact with the printing wheel 41 there is provided a spring 50 having its ends connected to pins 51 carried by the plates 48 as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
Upon the shaft 39 there is secured a disk 52 having formed integral therewith a hand wheel 53. Upon the face of the disk 52 ,there is arranged a plurality of numerals as clearly shown in Fig. 3-, which numerals correspond with the indicia provided by the printing blocks 43. In order to aid one to correctly determine the printing position of a printing block selected to be used in a printing operation as will more fully be set forth in the hereinafter described operation Fig. 2, by a spring 60.
of the machine there is provided a gage 54 which is secured to a side of the housing 37.
.Vithin the housing 37 there is arranged a pair of wings 55, the wings being secured to the side walls 36 by means of screws as shown and having their free ends terminating in proximity to the platen wheel 24 as clearly shown in Fig. 4. As will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the wings serve as a means for preventing an undesirable portion of the check or document 31 from coming into contact with the printing wheel 41.
To one end of the base 1() there is secured a vertically adjustablepl ate 56 which is pro vided on one side thereof with a support 57, one end of which support is bent upwardly and extends an appreciable distance beyond the edge of the plate 56 as clearly shown at 58. In proximity to the curved end of the support 57 there is pivotally connected to the plate 56 a leaf 59, the leaf 59 being normally retained in position as shown in The leaf 59 carries a flange (51, which flange lies in a plane common with a. flange (32 provided by the plate 56 at the upper edge thereof. In proximity to the support 57 there is provided an auxiliary support (33 which is arranged obliquely with respect to the support 57 and formed by striking out a portion of the plate 56 as clearly shown at 64. To the end of the housing 37 there is-secured a stub shaft 64 carrying a roller 65, the roller being adapted to move longitudinally upon the support 57 and the flange 62 during the printing operation and return of the printing wheel 41 to a normal position.
As a means for moving the housing 37 with respect to the base 10 during the printing operation there is provided a handle 66 which is secured to the housing by any suitable means and preferably arranged relatively near the end thereof as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
Upon the base 10 there is arranged an adjustable plate (37, which plate'is provided with a flange 68 having its face inclined as clearly shown in Fig. 1. This flange is adapted to support the housing 37 immediately prior to the engagement of the printing wheel 41 with the platen wheel 24. By changing the position of the plate (37 I am enabled to vary the space. between the several words or characters printed upon the check or other document 31. The spacing of the printed words is a highly important factor in a machine of this character and is accomplished for example in the following man her: Since the work 31 is fed into the maon the platen wheel at which the printing wheel 41 comes into contact therewith. Should theplate 67 be moved to left rather than to the right in Fig. 5 the edge of the printing wheel, due to the inclined face of the flange 68, would be lowered, as it moved laterally, to contact with the platen wheel 24 nearer the top thereof than if the plate 67 were moved to the right. Therefore, due to the variation of the length of feed preliminary to the printing of a word, the space between the words printed would be diminished by moving the plate 67 to the left and increased by changing, the position of the plate to the right.
. In use, the operation of the device is as follows: A check or other document 31 is inserted into a machine between the printing wheel 41 and platen wheel 24, assuming of course that the roller 65 is resting upon the flange 62. 'The housing 37 is then swung on its pivot 33 to the right as shown in Fig. 3 whereupon the roller 65 drops upon the auxiliary support '63! The housing 37 is then moved to the left as shown in Fig. 3
' whereupon the roller 65 passes from the aux- I ing blo ck having been previously selected by iliary' support 63 between the flange 62 and the support 57. The printing wheel 41 then engages the check or document 31 at a point on the platen wheel 24 whereupon the check ordocument is fed through the printing machine and at, the same time the characters carried by the printing block 43, the printthe aid of the dial 52 and the gage 54, are
C fi upon the check or document 31.
mmediately subsequent to the printing operation as'described the roller 65 passes '.-"'"from between the flange 62/and the support 57 and is moved ups the inclined curved end 58, thereby lifting the leaf 59 against the influence of. the spring-60. After the roller has moved sufliciently near the end of the curved end 58 the leaf 59 under the influence of the spring 60 assumes its normal position as shown in Fig. 2, whereupon the housing 37 may be moved to the right as shown Fig. 2 to permit the carrying out of another operation. Should it be desired to remove the check or document 31 while the "same is confinedbetween the printing wheel 41 and the platen wheel 24 the lever 20 may be pressed to relievethe platen wheel 24 from-engagement with the work, thereby permitting the check or document to be, readily withdrawn. w
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shownand described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape,
. size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit Y of-the invention or the scope of thesub 1 joindclaims.
