Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1.1921.
Application filed January 12 1921. Serial 1\To. 436,779.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ALBERT citizen of the United States of America, residing at New Britain, Hartford county, Connecticut, have invented a new and use ful Numbering-Machine, of'which the following is a specification. v I
My invention relates to a numberlng ma chine.
It is the general object of my invention to simplify the construction of machines of this type "and to simplify the assembling of thevarious parts. a
It is a special object to provide means for holding the inking pad in a convenientp'm sition to be re-inked.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds.-
In the drawings I have shown, merely by way of illustration, a preferred form of my invention.
Figure 1' is a front elevationof a complete Fig. 7' is a 'perspectlvepview showing various parts of the machine separated from.
1 each other; and
F ig. 8' is'a fragmentary perspectiye View: showing means-for-holdingthe ink ng pad" means shown may be sufii-cient to properly in convenient positionto be re-inkedj' In the illustrative form of machine shownthere ispr'ovided' amain U-shaped frame 5,
having guideways 6 for guiding thenumbering head in its reciprocation. The upper end of the main frame is providedwith a hollowtube 7 for receiving the'actuating rod of the numbering head and which the spring? 7 is partially housed. f The. usual J. MARKS, a
' frame.
1 wheels, may be secured between the foot plateand legs of the frame. The parts thusfar described are usual in machines of this type. r
The numbering head designated gener-' ally 10 is reciprocally mounted within the This numbering head may include a substantially U-shaped'frame or yoke 11 having secured thereto the rod 12 for reciprocating the head, To the upper end ofthe'rod '12 is secured a suitable knob 13 for actuating the numbering head and the spring 7 is interposed between'the knob and.
the tube 7 and the spring is housed and concealed therein.
The'usual or any desired numbering wheels, such as 14, having thereon the proper 7 characters, are mounted upon a shaft 15. These wheels are preferably resiliently held to said jshaft so as to prevent their. rotation relativelyto the'shaft, except when actuated by the proper mechanism. Upon each end of the shaft I mount an end plate 16, at least one of which is preferably non-rotat'ably mounted upon the shaft. In the form-shown I have provided a tongue 17 upon one of the plates, which cooperates with a corresponding keyway 18 in the shaft. It will be 'seen that the shaft carrying the numbering wheels' and the plates 16 may be handled as aunit, and the unit may be easily passed into the U-shaped yokeorframe l1.
Means are provided vforaccurately positioning the numbering wheels and plates within the yoke. In thedrawingsI have indicated lugs. 19 projecting-from the plates and recesses or apertures 20 within the numbering head yoke "for receivinglthese' lugs. The
described.
A plate 21, preferably of sheet metal,"
covers one, side of the numbering head frame, and the lowerend may. be curved, as
T at 22, to conform ingeneral'to the shape of the. numbering wheels for shielding a portion of the same from the pad proper of the inking device and providing a finished ap or pins would then merely hold the plates 16 in the frame.
The numbering wheels are actuated by a comb mechanism designated generally 27."
This comb mechanism may consist of a U- shaped yoke 28 carrying a proper comb with teeth, such as 29, for engaging parts of the numbering wheels for rotating the.- latter. The arms of this yoke 28 are passed. around the outside of the numbering head frame,
- and suitable pins or screws 30 pivotally s cure the comb yoke in place-on the numbering head, the pivots being preferably concentric with the shaft 15. A suitable roller or rollers, such'as 31, may be provided on the I pins 30, and these pins and rollers reciprocate in the guideways- 6 of the main frame during the reciprocation of the numbering head and serve to guide the latter in the main frame.
The means for inking'the characters on the numbering wheels will now be described. The inking pad, designated generally 32, is pivotally mounted, as by means of the rod 33, on the main frame. The inking pad includes a pan or recessed portion for holding the pad proper 34, which may be of suitable material, such as. felt, for holding the ink. Resilient means, such as the spring 35, is provided for urging the inking pad into engagement with the numbering wheels.
I have also provided means for holding the inking pad in a convenient position to be reI-inked. As shown particularly in Figs. 7 and 8, a latch 36 ismounted on one of 38secured to the latch and passingthrough an aperture in the frame. This projecting pin 38 also serves as a convenient meansfor moving the :latch. When it is desired to ;re-ink the pad,- the latter is moved tothe position indicated in Figs. Y-and 8 and'the latch 36 pushed in, as by means'of the pin 38, into engagement with a part of the pad.
In the form shown, the pad has projecting ears 39, which serve to contact with the latch for. holding the pad in proper position; The pad may be released by simply withdrawing I the latch from engagement with the car 39,
and the spring 35 will then snapthe; pad
backto normal position. The comb for" rotating the numberlng wheels is actuated by means of pins projecting 'into the main frame 5.; In the form shown pins 40 are provided for contacting with the upper edge of the comb yoke 28,
and. pins 41 are providedffor contacting ways be inked while ,ing'idle. I It will, of course, b'eobvious-that some with the'lower edges" of the yoke. If desired, suitable rollers may be held on the pins 40 and 41 for reducing the friction between the comb yoke and the pins.
It it often desirable to hold the numbering head in a depressed position. For this provided with a recess 42, and the frame 5 is provided with a pivotally mounted plate 43 for co-action with the shoulder formed by the recess 42 for holding the numbering head depressed against the tension of the spring 7 The operation of my machine is as follows: r
The numbering head being in the uppermost position, as shown, for example, in Fig. 3, theinking pad will be urged into engagement with the numbering wheels and the pad proper will, of course, deposit ink on the characters. When the head is depurpose I have shown the actuating rod 12 pressed by means of the knob 13 a part of the numbering head will contact with a part of the inking pad, in the present disclosure, with the ears 39, and the inking pad will be moved to the position indicated in Fig. 4. When the numbering head is depressed the lower edge of the yoke 28 will contact with the pin orroller 41 and move the comb into engagement with a different rotating tooth on one of the numbering wheels. When the knob-l3 is released the spring 7 will raise the numbering head and the upper edge of the yoke'28 will contact with the pin or roller 40 and one or more numbering wheels will be rotated the desired distance to bring a different character to the "printing position. The fixedxpins or abutinents 40, 41 form a cheap means for actuatingthe lug 2? and are particularly useful in a structure such as shown in the drawings, for the-reason that'in this construction the comb is operated on both the up and the down strokes by means of the. pins, and the only changes necessary for duplication orconsecutive'numbering are to move the comb 29 and hold the latter in various positions by any suitable means, such as a pin prostroke of the numbering head the inking pad will be urged 'in one'direction by means of the spring 35, and whenthenumbering head is about at the upper limit of its stroke,
thecharacterson the numbering wheels, as shown in Figs 1, 2, and? 7 It will be seen that the characters are inked just before they are ,to print, and the characters in the printing positioniwillah the machine standfeatures of my invention may be om tted,
V the felt pad 34will 'be-i n engagement with r and that the same may be used in connection with numbering machines of dilferent types from that shown; 7
While I have described in detail 'a preferred form of my invention, I wish it to be understood that various changes-and modifications may be'made within the scope of the appended claims.
