  • FIG. 1 and 1a represent together a schematic side elevation of a punching mechanism embodying one form of the'present invention
  • Fig. 2 represents a detail lof .the printing release mechanism
  • Fig. 3 represents one form of card for'use with the punching mechanism of the invention.
  • one form of the present invention comprises generally a card magazine 10 provided with means for feeding cards one at a time to a punch unit 11 Where each is punched and then delivered to an analyzing unit 12 which coacts with a printing device 13 to make setups corresponding respectively to the punched arrangement of the cards so that eachcard is finally delivered to a receiving magazine 14 punched ⁇ to correspond to certain datal and also having a portion of the card printed With characters respectively corresponding to such punch locations.
  • the feedin means for the .cards may b ⁇ e of any suitab e construction for successively removing the cards one at a time from a stack and delivering them to feed rollers 15 and in the present instance consists of a reciprocatory feed block 16 operating across an opening in the bottom of the magazine 10 and arranged to project one card through a slot 17 at each stroke of the block 16.
  • a picker blade 18 is carried by the end of the block and projects above the upper face of the block sufficiently to engage only thel juxtaposed edge of the 'bottom card of the stack.
  • Motion is transmitted to the block 16 in timed relation to the cycle of operations by an arm 2O pivoted to the frame of the machine and having connection by Way of a link 21 with an eccentric 22 keyed to the main shaft 23.
  • the cards delivered from the magazine 10 enter a registration passage 24 of the punching unit 11 and abut an automatically operated stop 25 which locates the card punch positions in register respectively With punches 26 on one side and holes 27 in a die 28 on the other side.
  • the punches 26 are .guided at their lower ends in a registration plate 30 which moves with the die 28 and the arrangement is such that when the card contacts With the punches, as it is carried by the die, those punches which are not set vvill then be pressed back by the card and die Without making a perforation or perforations, While those punches which have been set, as predetermined, vvill be held against movement and consequently perforations will be made in the 4 form a cam acting latch 33 which, upon movement of its bar 31, shifts a laterally movable latch plate 34 so that any selected set-bar 31 will be held down and locked rigidly during the required punching operation.
  • a cage 34 holding a plu- 'rality of slidable punch engaging pins 35, the number corresponding to the number of set-bars ,31 and the arrangement being such that each pin 35 is in alinement with a setbar 31 at its upper end and with a punch 26 at its lower end.
  • the pins 35 are respectively held projected into engagement with the setbars 31 by springs 36 so that each is automatically returned to normal position, with its lower end spaced from its punch, and also returns its bar 31 when the latter is released after a punching operation.
  • the punches 26 are similarly arranged and correspond to the number and arrangement of the set-bars 31 so that whenever a pin 35 is held locked and projected into engagement with its punch head that particular punch will be rigidly held against movement imparted by the die
  • the selection and setting of the set-up bars 31 is accomplished, in the present instance, by a carriage 37, which is arranged to travel by a step-by-step movement across the group of set-bars 31.
  • This carriage 37 is provided with a plurality of spring pressed plungers 38 corresponding in arrangement and number to a record column of the card, which in the preferred form is made up of twelve record positions representing numbers, letters or any other selected characters.
  • the selection and actuation of the plungers 38 can be made by any suitable mechanism actuated by keys of a keyboard not believed here necessary to show or describe.
  • the carriage 37 travels longitudinally across the rows of set-up bars 3l stopping momentarily over each row so that the actuation of any of its plungers 38 willcause a set-up bar 31 'to project its pin 35 into the path of the alined punch 26.
  • the key controlling the actuation of the machine is depressed so that the die 28 rises to bring the card into punching relation with the punches and thosel which are rigidly held by the set pins 35 are caused to perforate the card.
  • the card is fed from the punching unit by feed rollers 43 into a passage 44 formed by two spaced registration plates 45 and 46, each of which is perforated to conform to the points or designation locations on the cards.
  • a pin box or analyzing unit 47 having a. plurality of analyzing pins 48 normally held projected towards the plate 46 by coil springs 50.
  • the pins 48 selected by the card perforations serve, in the present instance, as stops projecting through the plate 45 into the path of rack setting bars 51 which correspond in number to the number of columns on thecards, each bar 51 being in alinement with a column and lying in close proximity to the upper face of the plate 45.
  • the setting bars 51 are normally tensioned toward the plate 45 by springs 49 and are held latched in zero position by lug 52 which is arranged to latch over the end of the plate 45.
  • lug 53 Projecting downwardly from the face of the lug 52 is a lug 53 having a rear shoulder spaced from the. shoulder' on lug 52 at a distance equal to one-half of the distance between the pins 48.
  • the rear face of the lug 52 rests against the end of the plate 45 whenever the bar 51 is in its home position.
  • the bar 51 may be raised different distances so that either of the lugs 52 or 53 ma stop against the first eleven of the twelve pins 48.
  • the lug 52 alone can ⁇ stop against the twelfth pin 48 as will appear later.
  • the setting bars 51 respectively have their lower edges tapered and are respectively pivotally attached to the racks 55 which are respectively in mesh with pinions 56 fixed to the respective printing wheels 54.
  • a plurality of rock levers 57 are respectively connected by a pin and slot connection to the free end of the racks 55 and all are mounted for independent movement upon a shaft 58.
  • the opposite arms 60 of the levers 57 are respectively held under tension, to rock the levers 57 in the required direction to shift the set-bars'l, by coil springs 61 which are fastened in stretched condition to a fixed part 62. Since the levers 57 operate in timed relation to the associated steps in the operation of the machine, means are provided in the form of a movable rail 63 for controlling the release of the levers 57 as well as to return them to :normal position.
  • the rail 63 Sis supported between. end plates 64 which )are arranged to oscillate about a pivotal point 65, their movement being controlled y cam rollers 66 and 67 riding on the face of a cam 68 onthe shaft 58.
  • the cam 68. is operated in timed relation by a link 70 connected to a part driven in proper timed relation.
  • each is carried 2by a striker bar'73 slidable through a frame strip 74 and guided by a fixed comb-piece 75, and the ends of the bars 73 are respectivel provided with a roller 73 to maintain t e respective racks 55 in meshwith their printing wheels 54.
  • the striker bars 73 are pivotally connected respectively to arms 76 fulcrumed upon a com.- mon spindle 77 and placed under firing tension respectively by springs 78 stretched between-their free ends and a pivotally mounted tension control bar 79.
  • This bar 79 is mounted upon arms 8O which are pivoted substantially coincident with the point of 'connection of the springs 78 with the arms 76,
