  • Shaft 20 is rotated by for reasons to be later discussed.
  • Disc 22 further includes a roller cam 44 arranged such that the cam 44 extends past the periphery of disc 22.
  • Disc 22 also includes a plurality of shallow holes such as hole 46 disposed in circular fashion on the side opposite the cam contacts. The holes 46 coacts with an equal plurality of spring-urged balls 66 located on a type wheel 86, thereby forming spring-urged detents.
  • Disc 22 is fixed to shaft 20 and rotates therewith.
  • Type wheel 86 is generally cup-shaped, having a circular plate rotatably mounted no shaft 20 and an outer periphery of planar surfaces at right angles to the circular plate. On the circular portion of type wheel 86 are located a plurality of balls 66 mounted by means of compressed springs which urge the balls 66 against the side of disc 22 opposite the side having the cam contacts. When the balls 66 on type wheel 86 are aligned with the holes 46 in disc 22, type wheel 86 will be rotatably driven by disc 22.
  • each print wheel includes ten numerals, 0 through 9, and therefore ten planar surfaces and ten ball and hole detents are included. It is understood, however, that more or less than ten numerals or alphabetic characters may be employed, just as more or less than three printing wheels may be included on shaft 20.
  • the printing elements are ten in number in this embodiment and will be references 0 through 9 in accordance with the numeral incribed thereon.
  • Each type plate is fixed to a separate planar surface of type wheel 86.
  • Each type plate has four rods 86a, 86b, 86c and 86d mounted thereon which extend through suitable holes in the planar surfaces and terminate at a separate channeled plate 88.
  • a separate one of compressed springs 88a, 88b, 88c and 8801 is mounted on each of the four rods and cause each type plate to normally abut the planar surfaces and conform with the outer periphery of type wheel 86.
  • the channeled plates 88 serve as cam followers for roller cam 44, that is, roller cam 44 when in contact with a particular channeled plate will force the channeled plate against the four springs 88a, 88b, 88c and 88d, causing the associated type plate to move outwardly from the planar surface of the type wheel 86. It is understood that numerals are only one example of the pattern on the type plates, and that any indicia may be provided.
  • a single projection or lug 90 is located on type wheel 86, on the interior side of one particular planar surface.
  • a solenoid operated stop member 92 is mounted to support member 21 such that when the solenoid 94 is energized, a peg 92a on the stop member 92 will engage the lug 90, thus overcoming the action of the ball and hole detents and restraining the type wheel 86 at a reference position.
  • solenoid 94 When solenoid 94 is de-energized, a spring 96 causes a stop member 92 to return to its original position thereby releasing type wheel 86 for rotation with disc 22.
  • a cam 38 on lug 90 will actuate proximately located switch which provides a signal to close switch 60 to be later described.
  • a series of switches 98 being five in number (98a through 98e in FIG. 2) in the present embodiment, are mounted on support member 21 proximate to disc 22 such enemies that the cam contacts on disc 22 cause two or more of the five switches 98 to be actuated.
  • four of the switches 955a through 9801 are used for coding and the fifth switch 98c is used for alignment.
  • the groups of cam contacts thereon sequentially actuate corresponding switches until a given group of cam contacts cause a given pattern of switches 98a through 98a to actuate which match a predetermined character selection signal at a remote location.
  • An inking mechanism having a housing 34 containing a supply of printing ink and a pair of ink transfer rolls 36 and 37 is located proximate to type wheel 85 at a distance such that those type plates which conform to the periphery of type wheel 86 will not come into contact with roller 37, but the type plate being extended by roller cam 44 will bear against roller 37 and be inked.
  • Each of the printing wheels on shaft 2i) have an inking mechanism associated therewith, or alternatively, the rollers 36 and 37 may extend the length of the entire print wheel assembly.
  • the control system for the print wheels is shown schematically and includes a type selection means 47, a comparison circuit 48, a gate circuit 49, a delay circuit 59, a switch 51, and a switch 60.
  • the control system controls the selection of the numerals or characters on each of the print wheels, however, for ease of explanation, only the connections to one print wheel are shown.
  • the type selection means 47 which may be a computer, produces a four bit binary signal for each print wheel which is transmitted on leads 47a through 47d and represents a numeral or character to be printed. A signal on the fifth lead 47c indicates that a numeral is being selected and turns switch 51 on.
  • the signal from switch 51 actuates solenoid 94 which causes stop member 92 to engage type wheel 86.
  • Switches hi5 are connected to a source of potential which is shown in FIG. 2 butomitted from through 98d are identical to the four signals from the type selection means 47, a signal is generated from comparison circuit 48.
  • This signal on lead 52 turns switch 51 off which in turn de-energizes solenoid 94 thus disengaging stop member 92 from type wheel 36 and permitting type wheel 86 to rotate with disc 22.
  • the signal from comparison circuit 48 is also applied to delay circuit 50, via lead 53 which delays the signal for a suitable time period, for example one type wheel rotation.
  • the signal from delay circuit 553 is then applied to solenoid 54 via leads 55.
  • the signal from comparison circuit 48 is a pulse of finite duration, and at the end of the pulse solenoid 54 is de-energized and the printing wheel assembly is raised by a spring return in solenoid 54 and returns to its original position.
  • the signal from delay circuit 50 is also used to reset switch on to the open state.
  • FIG. 2 an elevation view of the print wheel is shown which more fully illustrates the cam contacts on disc 22.
  • the particular number and position of the cam contacts in the groups 24 through 33 are clearly indicated with the exception of group 24 positioned behind switches 93. Since the particular embodiment of the invention being discussed is shown as having a total of ten separate type plates, disc 22 will include ten groups
  • the plunger 56 of solenoid 54 is afof cam contacts 24 through 33 and each group will have at least two and as many as five selectively located cam contacts. The presence or absence of a cam contact at given locations in each group will determine a particular type plate to be selected. For example, consider the possible positions of the cam contacts in each group as being numbered 1, 2, -3, -4, and 5, with position 1 being nearest the center of the disc.
  • the cams in the first four positions are used for coding and the cam in position five, which is present in every group, is used for alignment.
  • the following table sets forth the coding produced by the cams in the first four positions.
  • Table I an X designates the presence of a cam contact. It is evident that Table I represents a particular form of a binary code, and that with four possible coding cam contacts in each group, a maximum of sixteen type plates could have been designated if necessary. If, in another embodiment, the type plates were to contain alphabetic characters, then twenty-six type plates would be needed for each print wheel and consequently five (2 :32) cam contact positions for coding would be necessary in each group on the disc. It is understood that other code arrangements may also be employed as well as that set forth in Table I.
  • group 24 is associated with type numeral 1
  • group 25 is associated with type numeral 2
  • group 26 is associated with type numeral 3
  • group 33 which is associated with type numeral 0.
  • Type wheel 86 is mounted on, but not affixed to, shaft 20.
  • Type wheel 36 will rotate with disc 22 when balls 66 (FIG. 1) are in the associated holes 46 on disc 22 and stop member 92 is maintained out of the path of lug 9%) by spring 96 (solenoid 94 being de-energized).
  • solenoid 94 is energized by a signal from type selection means 47 (FIG. 1), peg 92a of stop member 92 will be in the path of lug 9d and type wheel 86 will stop at a reference position.
  • the lug 9th is located between the 0 and "1 numeral type plates, which establishes the reference position.
  • cam 38 will actuate switch 39 which will in turn close switch 60 via lead 61.
  • roller cam 44 With type wheel 86 maintained in the reference position, the location of roller cam 44 on disc 22 with respect to the groups of cam contacts 24 through 33 is such that when a particular group of cam contacts on disc 22 representative of a given numeral (Table I) is in contact with the switches 98, roller cam 44 is causing the type plate having the given numeral thereon to be forced outwardly from the type wheel 86.
  • FIG. 2 the cam contacts 29 associated with numeral 6 are in contact with switches 98 and roller cam 44 is forcing outwardly the type plate having numeral 6 thereon.
  • the next group of cam contacts 28 to engage switch 98 is associated with numeral and roller cam 44 would be forcing outwardly type plate 5.
  • Each of the switches 98a through 98c are connected to a potential source shown schematically by reference number 89. When each switch is actuated, the potential 89 appears on the output lead thereof.
  • Each of the groups of cam contacts on disc 22 include a cam contact in the fifth or outermost position.
  • This cam contact is not for purposes of coding but coacts with switch 98c for purposes of alignment. It is noted from the drawings that this cam contact is physically displaced with respect to the other cam contacts in each group.
  • Disc 22 rotating clockwise the cam contacts in the first four positions used for coding will encounter switches 98a through 98a slightly before the fifth cam contact encounters switch 98c, however, the signals from the actuation of the switches 96a through 96d will not be gated into storage register comparison circuit 43 (FIG. 1) until the fifth or alignment cam contact actuates switch 982.
  • FIG. 3 a rear elevation view of the printing wheel is shown illustrating stop member 92 and lug 90 in more detail. It is seen that when solenoid 94 is deenegized, spring 96 will hold stop member 92 out of the path of lug 90, however when solenoid 94 is energized by a signal from switch 51 (FIG. 1), stop member 92 will be moved into the path of lug 90 and peg 92a will engage lug 9t) and type wheel 86 will be held stationary.
  • the spring-urged balls 66 are also shown in FIG. 3. There are ten such balls in the present embodiment, however one ball will accomplish the same result.
  • the halls are located to engage the ten holes 46 in disc 22. For clarity, the holes 46 in disc 22 were not represented in FIG.
  • FIG. 1 Normally, shaft 20 is rotating clockwise and driving disc 22 which in turn is driving type wheel 86 via balls 66. Solenoid 94 is deenergized and stop member 92 is not in the path of lug 90.
  • the numeral to be printed is determined by type selection means 47 which applies a four bit binary signal to comparison circuit 48 via leads 47a through 47d and turns switch 51 on via a signal on lead 47e.
  • switch 51 When switch 51 is turned on, the output signal therefrom on lead 59 energizes solenoid 94 causing stop member 92 to be moved in the path of lug 90 on type wheel 86. Peg 92a on stop member 92 engages lug 90 causing type wheel 86 to remain stationary in the reference position and cam 38 actuates switch 39 which in turn causes switch 60 to close.
  • the signal from comparison circuit 48 having been delayed by delay circuit 56 is applied to solenoid 54, the plunger 56 of which reacts against stationary member 57 causing the entire printing wheel assembly to lower and the extended type plate 6 to strike the item to be printed 58.
  • the signal from delay circuit 50 also resets switch 60.
  • each of the printing Wheels on shaft 20 are set in a similar fashion, although the preceding description related to only one single printing wheel.
  • type selection means 47 may be a programmed computer, or may be a keyboard device operated manually by an operator at a central location for controlling a plurality of printing systems.
  • solenoid 54 instead of being operated by the delayed comparison signal, may be connected back to a control station so that the printing time may be selectively controlled by an operator or other means.
  • type wheel 86 is driven by disc 22 by means of spring-urged balls 66.
  • stop member 92 restrains type wheel 86, the balls 66 will ride in and out of the holes 46 in disc 22. This results in wear in the balls and the disc as well as noisy operation.
  • Another method of performing this function would be to have disc 22 and type wheel 86 physically separated on shaft 26 when stop member 92 is engaging type wheel 86 and to positively lock disc 22 and type wheel 86 when stop member 92 does not engage type wheel 86. This may be accomplished by including a cam on stop member 92 which causes type wheel 86 and disc 22 to move in and out of the positive locking position as stop member 92 is moved.
  • a unique printing apparatus for printing a plurality of numerals or characters.
  • the numerals or characters may be selected at a remote location by human agency or a computer.
  • One of the features of the printing apparatus is a coded disc mounted inside the printing wheel which performs the function of numeral or character selection by coaction with switches, as well as driving a type wheel and physically displacing a selected type plate for inking and printing.
  • the type plates are spn'ng mounted on the type wheel which provides a floating action which absorbs the shock of the type plate striking the material to be printed.
  • the device operates in a continuous manner and it is not necessary to stop shaft 20 to select each type plate. Also, for multi-digit printing the alignment of the digits occurs automatically. Each coded disc associated with each printing wheel is aligned on a common shaft in the same relative position. Thus, when a multi-digit number such as 725 is to be printed, the first print wheel will select the numeral 7 by means of the coded disc associated therewith. As the coded discs in each of the print wheels are being rotated clockwise, the next numeral selected will be the 5 in the third print wheel. However, the type wheel of the first print wheel is likewise being rotated so that when the numeral 5 is selected, the numeral 7? is co-linear therewith. As the three discs continue to rotate, the numeral 2 in the second print wheel will be selected at a given point and the 7 and will be moved to this given point so that the resultant 725 will be automatically aligned.
