UNITE s essic AUGUST HEINRICH GERMER, OF HAMBURG, GERMANY TYPE OAR-BEER FOR STAMPING PRESSES Application filed October 15, 1926, Serial No. 141,782, and in Germany December 10, 1925.

In stamping-presses for producing bills, to allow card-board with coloured paper beplacards, posters, price-lists and the like, low the set of types on the stamping-plate, which are made of cardboard, and in which whereupon by lowering the setting frame, the letters or signs are produced by punching, the set of types engage the card board.

5 embossing or impressing, the types are placed In the drawing a stamping-press is shown on straight edges, which areslidable in slots having a carrier for the set of types conof two guide rails, which slots are closed at structed according to the invention by way of their ends. These guide rails are attached example. to the two sides of the slidable stamping Fig. l is a sectional elevation of the i plate. Since the straight edges cannot be stamping-press, and E9 taken out the placing of the set of types on Fig. 2 a plan of the same. the stamping press must be carried out in an Fig. 3 is a side view of the press partly in inconvenient and inexpedient manner; For section, the same reason the set of types can only b Fig. 4 is a fractional side view showing a rection in which the stamping-plate is inand serted.

All edges are to be placed. Thus these straight sides have a' rectangular cross section, and 35 edges are replaceable, and when placed on the their horizontal faces have the same breadth. 8 stamping-plate can be slid and removed The straight edges f are provided at their therefrom. ends with heads 9 which on their under-sides The typecarrier or setting-frame is placed have a groove by which the straight edges on a working table and then the types may can be placed on the setting frame. By the be set in a convenient manner on the straight aid of screws which pass through the heads edges, the latter being adjusted on the setting g the straight edges when adjusted may be frame. The setting frame enables the setting locked to the setting frame 6. This allows of the straight-edges also parallel to the diof the straight edges 7 being placed on the rection of insertion. In this case long narlateral sides of the frame as well as onthe 455 row bills or placards can be stamped with a transverse sides of the setting frame. In the E35 larger'number of transverse lines in a single first case the lines of the set of types run operation. The setting frame in its outer transversally to the direction in which the position on the stamping-plate is adapted to stamping plate is inserted, (Figs. 1-3 and be raised to the necessary extent from the l), and in the other case parallel to this di plate carrier by alifting and holding device rection, (Fig. 6).

At both sides of the prolongation cl of the table (Z two arms h are attached to a common shaft 2' which arms are provided with handles It at their outer ends. The arms 71. may be oscillated into a horizontal position and in this position locked by a turn-buckle Z, catching hold of a rod m, connecting the arms. In Fig. 5 the underside of the prolongation d of the table and the turn-buckle Z is shown.

hen placed on the prolongation of the table the setting frame with its lateral sides is supported by the arms 7L and thus is held at such a distance from the stamping-platea that the types each resting on two straight edges 7' are situated at a distance above the stampingplate. The transverse sides of the setting frame which with their upper faces are flush with the upper face of the lateral frame sides have a less height than the latter. Therefore they do not engage the stampingplate, when the setting frame is supporled by the arms ]L (Fig. 4). The intermediate space between the stamping-plate and the transversal sides of the frame thus formed enables the introduction of the card board to be stamped and the coloured paper placed thereon under the set of types. lVhen now the arms h are lowered the setting frame a (Fig. 3) also lowers, whereby the stamping types engage the card board with or without the coloured paper, but are raised slightly from the straight edges. Now the stamping plate may be inserted into the press. After the stamping has been performed the stamping plate is withdrawn by a handle it attached thereto, whereupon the arms h are turned into horizontal position and locked by the turn buckle Z. The setting frame is thus raised and may be withdrawn from the card board together with the set of types.

The setting frame a is preferably square and projects from the stamping-plate a in front, when placed thereon (Figs. 2, 3 and 4). Thus it is broader than the stampingplate in the direction of insertion. When a card is intended to be stamped with more lines than the stamping-plate is able to take up in one operation the following method is to be carried out. The types for all lines are placed on the straight edges f. When then the card board to be stamped or embossed together with the sheet of coloured paper is placed on the stamping-plate the latter is inserted into the press and the stamping of the types on the stamping-plate is carried out. Thereupon the stampingplate is again withdrawn and the setting frame together with the set of types and the card board still adhering to the. latter owing to the stamping operation is moved forward on the stamping-plate in such wise, that the remaining lines of the types are placed on the stampingplate. To make sure: that this forward HIOVGIDGllt is carried out intheproper manner and conveniently one side of the frame-like handle n of the stamping-plate is provided with a number of gaps 0 or is serrated and the setting frame on this side is provided with a tooth 7). On moving the setting frame forwardly the proper distance between the first group of lines and the sec- 0nd group of lines is secured by allowing the tooth p to engage in the corresponding gap 0.

In order to allow lines to be stamped or embossed at an angle the heads 9 of the straight edges f may be attached to the latter rotatably. One of the heads in this case will have tobe slidable in longitudinal direction of the straight edges.

I claim 1. A type carrier in stamping-presses for punching embossing or impressing letters or the like in cardboard and arrangement of same in the stamping-press comprising a rectangular frame which is adapted to be removably mounted on the stamping-plate which supports the work piece and means forming straight edges serving for setting the types adapted to beremovably mounted on the setting-frame.
