Definitions

  • the cards are perforated in a punching machine by the depression of keys which correspond 15 to the items read off by the operator from a printed sheet.
  • a stack of punched cards is placed in a verifying machine, the operator of 20 which also reads the items preferably from the same record source, i.*e., the printed sheet and depresses the corresponding keys. If a card column is correctly punched, the next card column feeds to the verifying station; if incorrectly 25 punched, the card feed is interrupted and the operator must remove the card.
  • the verifying ma- 0 chine can be arranged to skip the columns not to be verified.
  • the operator of the verifying machine is then given credit for verifying the card as to the desired columns.
  • it is also desired to 40 indicate the fact that the subsequent verifying operation has occurred and which of these verified columns are correct.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore, broadly, to mark each verified column which 4:, is correct with a distinguishing imprint.
  • the object is to provide the marking means in the form of a simple printing attachment which can be applied to an ex- 55 isting machine.
  • the object is to provide such a print-- ing attachment with means for effecting an imprint under control of the card feeding means.
  • the object is to provide an inking ribbon within the printing attachment, which is advanced under control of the card feeding means.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of the machine.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the machine.
  • Fig. 3 is a section along line 33 of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of the portion, of Fig. 1 showing the marking attachment.
  • Fig. 5 is a detail view in perspective of a portion of the marking attachment with the ribbon guide cover in retracted position.
  • Fig. 6 is a detail section along lines 6-6 of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 'l is a detail section along lines 'I-'I of Fig. 2, and
  • Fig. 8 is a detail plan view of the lower portion of the marking attachment.
  • the verifyingmechanism is of the type disclosed in Patent No. 1,426,223 and comprises .a set of character keys ill, each connected to the rear end of one of the interposer bars II.
  • the bars Ii are loosely fulcrumed at their forward ends on pins I! pressed downwardly by springs l3. Intermediate its ends, each bar il rests on top of one of the row of verifying pins i4 slidably guided at their lower ends by a frame I block I40.
  • a column of card '1 is fed to verify ing position between block I40 .and a die block Ill having holes in line with pinsv II.
  • One end of the bail I6 is operatively connected in the manner indicated in detail in aforesaid patent to an am We pivoted about shaft I! and to asecond member llb also iournaled on shaft 11.
  • Arm l6a has a pin and slot connection with a pivoted escapement pawl 26 and the other arm l6b has a pin 2! loosely seated in a hole 22 in a second escapement pawl 22 which is freely and loosely mounted on shaft II.
  • a spring 24 connected to pawl 22 tends 'toswing it clockwise (Fig. 3) to hold it engaged with a ratchet tooth 26 of escapement rack 26 which forms part of the card feeding carriage.
  • bail I6 When bail I6 is depressed, it rocks members 160 and l6b counterclockwise (Fig. 3), causing member I6a to move pawl 26 into engagement with a tooth "-26 of bar 26, thereby holding the bar stationary, and causing member i6b-to release pawl 22 from the tooth 26 previously engaged by it.
  • the power for feeding bar 26 to the left is supplied by a drum spring motor 28 acting through a gear 26 meshed with the lower rack teeth 260i bar 26.
  • the card carriage comprises, in addition to escapement bar 26, a rear abutment 22 and a front abutment 22 both carried by bar 26.
  • the card T resting on main frame 24 is held between these abutments 22 and 22 and between the side walls 26 and 26' of the frame (see Fig. 2).
  • the card is thus accurately located and guided for feeding movement.
  • bar 26 advances one step, abutments 22 and 22 move along with the bar and feed the card the width of one column. In this manner,. the verifying of a correct hole in a card column causes the next card column to move to verifying station beneath pins I4.
  • the cards T are stacked in magazine 26 and fed one at a time from the bottom of the stack by a picker 21.
  • This picker is connected by a bracket 26 to a rack bar 29 slidably guided for horizontal movement along the operators side of the machine.
  • Bracket 38 is provided with a handle or finger piece 46 which the operator uses to move the rack to the left (Figsf 1 and 2). when this happens, picker 21 engages the bottom card T of the stack in magazine 26 and feeds it out of the magazine to a position in front of abutment 22 and against abutment 22. Further, as the rack moves to the left, it turns a-spring motor 42 (Fig. 1) to energize it and also rotates a gear 42 (Figs.
  • ratchet clutch member 44 both rotatably carried by a cross shaft 46.
  • Opposite clutch member 44 is a companion clutch member 46 slidably keyed to shaft 46.
  • clutch member 46 is normally held apart from clutch member 44 by a spring 41 connected to yoke 46 pivoted on pin 46.
  • the upper end of yoke 48 is connected by pins 66 to clutch member 46.
  • a member 62 having ahandle 62 and connected by a spring 64 to yoke 48.
  • Spring 64 is stiffer than spring 41 so that the latternorinally moves yoke 46 and plate member 62 clockwise (Fig. 6) as a substantially rigid unit.
  • rack 26 When at its right hand limit (Figs. 1 and 2), rack 26 has a groove 66 (Fig. 1) formed in its lower edge and receiving plate member 62. Spring 41 is therefore effective initially to rock members 62 and 46 clockwise (Fig. 6) to uncouple clutch member 46 from clutch member 44.
  • Shaft 46 rigidly carries a gear 68 meshed with lower rack teeth 26 of theescapement bar 26;
  • gear 68 meshed with lower rack teeth 26 of theescapement bar 26;
  • spring motor 26 is energized to furnish power for the column-by-column feed of the card to the left controlled bythe verifying operation.
  • the machine is provided' with an attachment including a frame block 66 secured by screws 6
  • Block 66 carries two horizontally spaced apart ribbon spools 62 and 62. Between the spools, block 66 is recessed (Fig. 5) to receive a guide frame 64 which is rigidly fastened to the block 66 and flanged at the sides tends forwardly between die blocks 0 and IM to a position above the lower end of the card column which is at the verifying station, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 7.
  • the ribbon strip at the forward end of guide 65 is above the lower end of said card column.
  • a plunger 61 vertically slidably mounted in frame 60 projects at its upper end through alined holes in frame 64 and ribbon guide 65 (see Figs. 4 and 7) to normally maintain the latter element against slidable movement and in fixed relationship to' frame 60 and die blocks llll and Ml.
  • a spring 68 Surrounding plunger 61 is a spring 68 for normally holding the plunger in raised position and in operative connection with ribbon guide 65.
  • the forward end of guide 65 has a hole 10 in line with the verifying pins M and above the portion of ribbon R located over the lower end of the card column'in verifying position.
  • Vertically above hole 10 is a type plunger H vertically slidably mounted in die block Ill].
  • the plunger H has a type lug at its-lower end for printing a distinctive mark, a V-shaped mark being shown as an illustration.
  • Type plunger H is in columnar alinement with verifying pins I4 and at the left of the column of said pins (as viewed in Fig. 7), thus being in position to print on the card column in verifying position and on a part of said column below the 9" index point position.
  • is normally held in upper position by a spring I2, with the top of the plunger engaged by one end of a lever 13.
  • Lever I3 is pivotally carried by a bell crank lever 14 and connected by a spring 15 to the bell crank lever.
  • Lever I4 is rotatably carried by the end of shaft l'I opposite the escapement end and is rigidly pinned to one side of bail IE to move rigidly with the bail.
  • type plunger 'II As type plunger 'II is depressed, it passes through hole I0 in ribbon guide and presses ribbon R against the card to print a V-shaped' mark at the bottom of the card column which is in verifying position.
  • Escapement bar 26 also carries the usual skip bar 89 which in connection with associated skip mechanism causes the card columns not to be operated on to be fed past the verifying position.
  • a retaining pawl 93 is held by a spring 9i against ratchet teeth 90 to prevent reverse movement of spool 63 whenpawl 99 moves clockwise.
  • Ribbon R may be threaded into guide 65 conveniently when the latter is removed in the manner explained.
  • the ribbon guide may then be slid into its guide frame 64 and replaced in operative position with the top of plunger 61 projecting into the hole in the ribbon guide.
  • the es'capenient mechanism for causing the marking device to distinctively mark the verified card, said escapement mechanism including a bail reciprocated upon each verifying operation, and connections between the bail and marking device to cause reciprocation of the latter upon reciprocation of the ball, the marking. device upon its reciprocation distinctively marking the verified card.
  • a main frame carrying the operating means and including a generally horizontal surface for supporting a card in position to be operated'on by said means, a marking device for marking each card operated upon and including a type element located above said surface in position to print on the card, an auxiliary frame attached to one side of the main frame sdiacent said operating means, ink ribbon spools carried by the auxiliary frame, a ribbon shield carried by the auxiliary frame between the spools and arranged to bend the ribbon in the form of a loop and locate the forward, closed end of the loop above said horizontal surface, above a portion of the card lying on said surface, and beneath said type element, and means controlled by said operating means for causing the type elemeit to coact with said ribbon to print on the cal 6.
