Application filed December 16, 1925. Serial no. 7 5,786.
Another object of the invention is to pro-' vide means for printing the return address on the envelope simultaneously with the printing of the forwarding address. Another important object of the invention is to provide an addressing machine of this nature which is simple in construction. inexpensive'to manufacture, durable, strong, not likely to easily become out of order, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
Vith the above and, numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as Will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. I
In the drawings- Figure 1 is aside elevation of the machine embodying the features of my invention,
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section therethrough,
Fig. 3 is a top plan View thereof, with the cover removed.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section showing the means for taking an envelope from the envelope hopper,
Fig.5 is a. plan View of the shield plate for the envelope hopper, and
Fig. 6 is a detail View of the friction roller for engaging the envelope to partially.
ly onshafts 16and 17 journaled through tie sides of the casing 5. A pulley 18 is mounted on the end of the shaft .17 and" is driven by belt 19 which is trained over a pulley 20 operatively engaged with the pulley 21. A clutch 18 is associated with the shaft 17 and pulley 18. A motor 22 has a pulley 23 on its shaft over which istrained a belt 24: which is also trained over the pul .ley 21. Thus when the motor is energized, the pulley 15 1s m motion.
I A double-ply belt 25 1S trained over the rollers 14 and 15 and also over a roller 26 in the lower intermediate portion of the casing 5. This belt is also trained thr'u openings 27. and 28m the partitionfi. The outer ply of'the belt 25 is provided with recesses '29 in which are disposed fingers 30 having the upstanding hooked end portions 31, which project a lit-- tle above the outer surface of the outer ply. Openings 29 are provided in the inner ply of the belt 25' one registering with each recess 29. These fingers 30 are securedto the inner ply of the belt. The fingers are arranged in pairs and as the belt moves through its orbit, these fingers engage. one ofthe plates 13 to move it along with the belt. Only one plate will be moved at a time, a stop 32 being provided for this purpose;
A plurality of return address plates 33 are mounted on the outer ply of the belt,
has flanges 36 which ride on the outer ply of the belt. The outer ply provided. with slots 35 adjacent plate 33 and fingers- 30 so that the rolls will lower as the flangesmove in the slots to engage the plates 33 and 13.
At the bottom of each hopper 9 there is disposed a shield plate 35, having an upturned edge 37. A pair of spaced lugs 38 project from each side edge of the plate 35 for receiving therebetween a stop pin 39 projecting from the hopper 9. The envelopes 11 rest on this plate 5 so as to be out of engagement with the belt 25'. A pair of longi tudinally extending slots 40 extend from those points spaced rearwardly from the upturned edge 37 to the rear edge of the shield plate 35. These slots40 are disposed so as to receive the hooks 31 of the fingers 30 for the purpose of engaging the bottom envelope in the hopper 9. A resilient stop cluding a relatively small disk 43 and a relatively large disk 44. The belt is provided with slots 45 to the rear of each pair of fingers 80. The rolls 42 are mounted on shafts 46 journaled in spring pressed bearings 47. Normally the disks 44 are in engagement with the inner ply of the belt 25, but as this belt moves and the slots 45 come along, the large disk 44 projects through the slot to engage the bottom envelope, and at the same time the smaller disks 4Sengage the inner ply of the belt so that the rolls are turned and the larger disk causes the bottom envelope to move into a position for being engaged by the next pair of hooks 3l'of fingers 30 as will be apparent from an inspection of Fig. 2.,
A spring pressed platen roll-er 48 has its shaft mounted in spring supported bearings 49 and presses the envelope against the plates 13 and 33 so that the forwarding ad dress and the return address will be printed thereon simultaneously. The envelope will be ejected through the opening 50 in the cover portion 8 of the casing.
The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed merely in detail by way of example, since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as de sirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. It is apparent, however, that numerous changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. In an addressing machine of the class described, an endless belt trained to move through a predetermined orbit, engaging means on the belt and spacedat intervals, ahopper for containing a plurality of printing plates to be ejected therefrom one at a time by said engaging means, a second hopper adapted to contain a plurality of envelopes, a plate at the bottom of the second hopper, said plate provided with longitudinally extending slots for receiving the engaging means andmeans for disposing the bottom envelope in the-second hopper so as to be in a position for ejection by said engagement means.
2. in an addressing machine of the class described, an endless belt trained in a predetermined orbit, a pluralityof engaging fingers mounted on the beltand arranged in spaced pairs, means for feeding printing plates to said engaging means, an envelope hopper, a shield plate at the bottom of the envelope hopper having aforward upturned edge provided with longitudinally extending slots starting a distance rearwardly of the upturned edge, and openings at the sides thereof, said belt provided with slots in advance of the fingers, rollers projectible through the slots in the belt to engage the bottom envelope in the hopper and partially eject the same so as to be engaged by the-oncoming fingers.
3. In an addressing machine of the class described, an endless belt trained in a predetermined orbit, a plurality engaging fingers mounted on the belt and arranged in spaced pairs, means for feeding printing plates to said engaging means, an envelope hopper, a shield plate at the bottom of the envelope hopper having a forward upturned edge provided with longitudinally extending slots starting a distance rearwardly ofthe upturned, edge, and openings at the sides thereof, said bolt provided with slots in advance of the fingers, rollers projectible through the slots in the belt to engage the bottom envelope in the hopper and partially eject the same so as to be engaged by the oncoming fingers, and printing means for pressing the. envelope against the plate.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
