Definitions

  • Another object of this invention is to provide a simple and expedient method of printing and after-printing such pieces with such individual and/or general indicia without the necessity of feeding such Workpieces one by one to a printing press.
  • checks or other pieces are printed in continuous form with i the standard indicia, and while still in such form are afterprinted seriatim by one or more printing units.
  • the printing units may be provided with the usual font -of characters or with special characters and the printing may be performed with ordinary and/or special ink or transfer material according to the requirements. Thereafter, the continuous strips are severed into separate check-s or pieces and are stacked and bound for distribution and use.
  • the after-printing is preferably performed by settable wheels carrying on their peripheries letter and/ or number ⁇ and/ or symbol type faces.
  • the after-printing for each kind of workpiece is controlled by a prepared card such as a tabulating card having punch holes so positioned that when presented to an interpreting ⁇ or sensing mechanism they -will control the setting of the printing Wheels in one or more printing units and determine the number of checks or pieces to be after-printed.
  • a prepared card such as a tabulating card having punch holes so positioned that when presented to an interpreting ⁇ or sensing mechanism they -will control the setting of the printing Wheels in one or more printing units and determine the number of checks or pieces to be after-printed.
  • FIG. 5 is a detail sectional view showing the belt for feeding the continuous strip yand the driving means therefor.
  • FIG. 7 is a front elevation of a descending counter and switch which may be used with the form of the invention shown in FIG. 6.
  • the method involved in the other form of the present invention may be carried out by apparatus disclosed in FiG. 6.
  • the imprinting operations may advantageously be controlled by the same means which controls the advancing of the strip 5o.
  • This is accompiis'ned as shown by providing control means operated by the motor 64 which, it will be remembered, drives the tractors 57 and
  • the control means comprises a shaft 67 driven by the motor 64 which makes one revolution for each workpiece (check) imprinted.
  • Switch operating means including a disk 63 having a lobe @i9 is secured to the shaft 67. The lobe 69 which engages a switch 7i?
  • the ratchet wheel 82 would be provided with twenty teeth and the stepping motor would move the latter and the switch arm S3 in increments of 18.
  • the switch '74 and its carrying arm 74a maybe adjusted remotely by operation of the motor 76 and the change speed power transmitting unit 63 may be adjusted in known ways by operation of a lever 63a for instance.
  • Apparatus as set forth in claim 5 further including control means operated by said power means and thereby operatively coordinated with said feeding means for causing sequential operation of said impression means of each of said printing units to cause said printing units to print the lines of unique indicia seriatim on each of the items of said group, settable means for varying the operative coordination of the impression means of one of said printing units with the feeding means relative to the impression means of another of said printing units, and means for changing the speed of operation of said feeding means independently of said power means whereby both the predetermined spaced relation of the lines of unique indicia on a given size item, and the collective predetermined relation of the lines .of unique indicia with said common indicia may be changed to vary the format of the items and to permit variation in they length of the items from leading to trailing edge.
