MEANS FOR PROTECTING CHECKS.
Application filed April 80, 1923. Serial No.-635,648.
The object of my invention is to protect a check, or other negotiable paper, in which a single impression is made to indicate the amount thereof. This object is attained by scarifying the check on lines directly above and below the line indicating the amount in order to prevent the insertion of a second line indicating an additional amount.
The invention also relates to mechanism for scarifying the check simultaneously with printing the amount.
In the accompanying drawings: Fig. 1 is a view of a check with a given amount noted thereon and having a scarified line above and below the amount; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on the line 22, Fig. 3, of the base portion of a check-writing machine illustrating one means of carrying out the invention; and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 33, Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, 1 is a check having a payees line 2 and a space 3 for the printed amount of the check. In order to prevent the addition of a second line to the printed line indicating the amount, protecting lines 1 and 5 are printed directly above and below the printed line indicating the amount. These lines are preferably 'scarified in order to prevent erasure.
In Figs. 2 and 8 is shown an apparatus for printing and scarifying the protecting lines simultaneously with printing and scarifying the line indicating the amount.
10 designates the base of the machine and 11 designates the casing extending over the base and spaced a sufficient distance there from to form a passage 12 for the checle The precise construction and mode of mounting this type drum may vary, but a convenient and suitable construction, permitting rotation of the type drum and its depression to effect the printing impression, is illustrated and desoribedin expired Letters Patent do. 322,989 dated July 25, 1885, and granted to Charles Spiro. Under the present construction shaft 13 and the type drum 13 are held in a sli htly inclinedposition, so that depression to printing position shall bring the axis of the shaft and drum and consequently the type faces, parallel to the face of the check to be printed. The drawing is essentially diagrammatic, since the features just noted are old and wel1- known in the art, and detailed description hence unnecessary herein.
13 designates a type drum mounted on a shaft 13*. 1 1 designates the inking rollers for supplying ink to the faces'of the type drum '13. 15- designates a lever made fast upon a rod or shaft 15 journaled in the base 10 as shown in'Fig. 2, and carrying a rotating platen 16. "Secured to and eirtending upwardly from the rod or shaft 15 is a lever 15 by which the shaft 15 may be rocked to elevate to printing position the platen 16. The platen is normally held below the print ing position by a spring 15, here shown as a coiled spring encircling shaft 152 and of the check may be effected by forming either the type faces or the platen surface with the searifying blades, points, or the like, familiar in this art. I
18 designates a lever carrying two scarifying rollers 19, which are spaced apart sothat when an impression is made by these rollers there will be a clear line between theimpressions and the impression made by the roller platen 16. This lever is pivotally mounted on a bar 27 and on this bar is a spring 28 that engages the lever 18 and yieldingly holds the rollersout of action.
20 designates an, inking roller and 21 designates an intermediate roller supplied with ink by the inking roller so that when a check is fed through the machine and the lever 18 is moved to raise the rollers 19 in contact with the check, the paper of the check will be scarified above and below the line indicating the amount and an impressionw'ill also be made according to a predetermined design.
The forwardly or outwardly extending arm 22 of lever 18 carries a hollow handle 23 provided at its inner end with a projecting stud 24. The inner end of handle 23 is closed except for a central openingsufficient to permit the passage through it of said arm. A portion of arm 22 of lever 18 is encircled by a helical spring 25, one endiof which abuts against the inner end Wall of the handle, While the other end bears against a head 26 secured in any convenient Way upon the outer end of arm 22. Spring 25 is placed under compression in assembling the parts, and by reason of its tendency to expand, causes the stud 24 to move forward into a slot 2 in the base 10, when handle 23 is depressed to raise the rolls 19 to effective operative position. In order to .aaintain stud 2% in alinement with slot 2%, arm 22 of lever 18 may be longitudinally slotted as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3, to receive a pin 29 driven into a radial hole in the closed inner end of handle 23. T he same result could of course be attained in any equivalent Way, as by employing a polygonal head,26, and making the opening in the handle of corresponding form.
I claim:
1. The combination in apparatus for making a safety impression on a check, of means for impressing and printing the amount of the check and scarifying the paper Where so impressed and printed; and means for impressing and printing a safety line directly above and below the line indicating the amount, the latter impressing and printing means being movable to and from effective operating position independently of the amount impressing and printing means.
2. The combination of apparatus for impressing and printing a line indicating the amount of a check; a lever carrying two impression rollers spaced a greater distance apart than the Width of the line indicating the amount; means for making an impression ona line With the rollers; and means for 40 raising the rollers into impressing position.
JOHN J. DUFFIE.
