2 Claims.
The invention has relation to check writers, and more particularly to means for printing the amount on a check and thereafter embossing the printed surface.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as set forth in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention as applied to a check writer of the type disclosed in the Phinney application Serial No. 37,648, filed August 24, 1935:
Fig. 1 is a right side elevation of the machine.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with a portion of the casing, the embossing wheels, etc. removed.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section, taken immediately within the right hand frame plate of the machine.
Fig. 4 is a detail plan view of the embossing roll and associated parts.
The operator having placed a check in printing position, between the guides 22, (Fig. l) and feed rolls 68, I91, and resting against stop pin 66, and having set up the amount desired on the keyboard, depresses operating key 23 to initiate a printing cycle of operation, as follows:
Pivotally mounted upon the framing at 24 (Fig. 2) is a latch plate 25 normally holding the clutch pawl 26 (pivoted at 21 upon disc 28, fast to shaft 29) out of engagement with the teeth of notched disc 39. Notched disc 30 is loosely mounted upon shaft 29 and has drive connections with the motor, through gears 3!, 32, 33, 34 and 35 (Fig. 3). Plate 25 is normally held engaged with pawl 26 (Fig. 2), against tension of spring 36, by engagement of latch arm 31 (pivotally mounted at 38 upon latch 25) with rod 39 extending through the right hand frame of the machine.
Upon depression of key 23, pawl 46, pivotally mounted at M upon a rearwardly extending arm of said key and having engagement with a projection 42 of latch arm 31, will rock said latch free of rod 39, whereupon plate 25, under influence of spring 36 will be rocked counterclockwise as seen in Fig. 2 releasing pawl 26, and allowing said pawl under influence of its spring 43 to engage notched disc 36.
Fast to latch plate 25 is a pin 44 extending laterally through an orifice 45 of a switch operating arm 46 (Fig. 3) slidably mounted upon stud 41 of the frame. During the above described movement of latch plate 25, pin 44 will move arm 46 rearwardly causing the insulated roller 48, mounted thereon to close the contacts 49 of the motor switch 56 to start the motor and impart, through the previously described gear train, a
clockwise rotative movement to. the notched disc 36 and, through engagement of pawl 26 with said disc, the disc 28 and shaft 29.
During the rotation of shaft 29, cam 60, secured to said shaft, will rock the platen 6| against the type, to print the desired value.
Printing operation having been completed, a pin 62, carried about shaft 29 will engage and rock a lever 64 downwardly about its fulcrum 65, a lug 93 of said lever rocking arm 9| downwardly, to carry the stop projection 66, fixed to arm 9!, below the level of check support plate 61, thus freeing the check for operation by the feed roll 68. Roll 68 is driven from the gear 34, through shafts I68, I69, and is consequently rotated so long as the clutch 26, 30 remains engaged.
Feeding of the check is momentarily interrupted, so that it may be accurately located at the time the embossing roll is engaged, this interruption being effected by contact of the check with a second stop pin I I6 (Fig. 1), mounted upon the arm III, pivoted to the framing at I I2. Arm III has a roller engaging the periphery of the cam H3 fast upon shaft 29, the arm being held toward said cam by means of a spring IE4. It will be noted that cam H3 is of the snail type, and that the roller of arm .I I I will climb sufficiently upon said cam to bring stop pin H9 into the path of the check before the release of the check from stop pin 66. Thereafter, the roller of arm III falling from the high point to the low point of cam H3, pin H6 will be Withdrawn below the level of check support plate 61!, and immediately thereafter a cam H5, acting through arm H6, pivoted at Ill, and pin H8, will lift the free end of pivotally supported shaft H9 and engage the embossing roll I20, mounted upon said shaft, with the check.
Embossing roll I26 is driven through gearing HI and I22, from gear 3i, as seen in Fig. 4, and will thus be rotated as long as the clutch remains engaged. The surface of embossing roll I26 is suitably scored, and cooperates with the scorings of a cooperating roll I23 (Fig. l) to emboss the paper of the check, so as to render alteration of the amount of the check difficult.
Further rotation of shaft 29 will remove cam H5 from arm H6, allowing the embossing wheel to drop away from the check, which is then fed out of the machine by the feed roll 68.
The lateral position of the embossment may be regulated by means of the stop pin III], which is adjustable along a pin I24 fixed in the arm I I I, as seen in Figs. 1 and 4.
The machine is brought to rest as follows:
Near the end of the cycle of operation pivot stud 21 (Fig. 2) of disc 28 engages projection 82 of latch plate 25, restoring said plate to normal position and bringing the projection 83 thereof into the path of movement of pawl 26 to disengage said pawl from the driving member 30. Restoring of latch plate 25 carries latch arm 31 forwardly, said arm under influence of its spring 84 rocking about point 38, returning to its normal position behind rod 39 and into engagement with pawl 40.
I claim:
1. In a check writer, the combination with check printing and feeding means, of a pair of normally separated embossing rolls, means for arresting a printed check in a given fed position relative to said rolls, adapted to eflect the arrest after the printing and subsequent feeding of the check, and means for retracting the arresting means and engaging and rotating the embossing rolls.
2. In a check writer, the combination with check printing and feeding means, of a pair of normally separated embossing rolls, means for rotating one of said rolls, means for arresting a printed check in a given fed position relative to said rolls, adapted to elfect the arrest after, the printing and subsequent feeding of the check,
' means for retracting the arresting means, and
means for moving one of the embossing rolls first toward and thereafter away from the other roll.
