Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A timing mechanism for printing apparatus utilizing a uniformly rotating type carrier provided with type characters. arranged on the circumference thereof, against which a recording carrier is struck at a selected time by an impact element to effect the desired printing.
  • the time raster comprises a means for scanning the phase position of the respective individual divisions of such time raster and a means is provided for scanning the phase position of a predetermined starting position of the type carrier.
  • the means for forming the mechanical time raster is mounted on a shaft spaced from the type carn'er shaft and carrying an additional rotatable timing member having a number of timing positions corresponding to the smallest whole number of revolutions of the type carrier including a whole number of revolutions of such rotatable timing member.
  • Means revolving at the same angular velocity as the type carrier is cooperable with said rotatable timing member and permits the evaluation exclusively of one timing position thereof, corresponding with the starting point of the timing member during a revolution of the type carrier, and generates a synchronizing pulse.
  • the invention relates to printing apparatus utilizing a flying type action in which a uniformly rotating type carrier, having the type characters arranged on the circumference thereof, is adapted to imprint a desired character on a recording carrier which is moved through a printing station at which it is imprinted by the action of an impact element operable at a selected time point when the desired character on the type carrier is in a printing position.
  • the invention is directed to a mechanism for determining the timing points of control elements of the printing apparatus dependent upon the phase position of means determining the time point of impact or printing for the respective characters, and thus functioning in the manner of a time raster, employing means or sensing the phase position of the timing raster divisions of such means, and also employing means sensing the phase position of a pre-selected starting position of the type carrier.
  • a mechanical time raster for example, an impact producing drive wheel
  • printing apparatus of this type in which the printing or impact time points are determined by such a mechanical time raster, are so constructed that each typographic image or character conducted past the printing station has allocated thereto in phase, a raster point or division of a corresponding uniformly moving mechanical time raster.
  • the printing operation is effected by means of a suitable intermediate member, normally termed a coupling member," whereby there is briefly established a connection between the means representing a corresponding raster time point and the printing or impacting hammer.
  • the mechanical time raster must rotate phase-shifted with respect to the rotating type carrier.
  • the time span required for the operation of the coupling member is dependent exclusively on the angular position of the elements of the mechanical time raster with respect to the' actuating position of the coupling member.
  • a counting pulse is supplied to the electronic circuit, for each such symbol there is arranged on the mechanical time raster a corresponding time point, and as the position of such raster point is already scanned, for the reason above mentioned, it is expedient to use the timing pulses obtained in the scanning of the position of the time raster point as counting pulses for the electronic circuit arrangement.
  • Such an electronic counting chain would employ as many counting places as the number of characters carried by the type carrier. It will be appreciated, for example, as a result of erroneous pulses, or, in particular, following a discontinuance of operation of the device, there can occur a functional displacement between the type carrier and the electronic counting chain, as a result of which it is necessary, to avoid false printing, to derive a further counting pulse from the type carrier which represents a predetermined starting position of the latter and thereby assure the actuation of the electronic counting chain in the desired time relation. However, in order to assure a functionally correct operation of the entire system, it is necessary to effect an agreement of such synchronizing pulse with a predetermined symbol timing pulse derived from the mechanical time raster.
  • the devices employed for sensing these two criteria are individually adjustable, as a result of which a shifting of a scanning device which scans the character or symbol timing pulses in the phase positions of the mechanical time raster necessitates in such known mechanisms a corresponding readjustment of the scanning means from which the synchronizing pulses from the type carrier are derived.
  • the present invention therefor is directed to the production of a device by means of which is possible, through the timing adjustment of the counting pulses derived in the phase positions of the time raster, to achieve a simultaneous timing adjustment of the synchronizing pulses determined by the position of the type carrier, and in particular, independently of whether the type carrier rotates synchronizingly with the mechanical time raster or merely in phase therewith, i.e., with a certain rotative speed translation or reduction.
  • the invention is directed to printing apparatus employing flying printing action and in particular to a mechanism for determining the operative timing points of control elements in which, in addition to a timing element or wheel which represents a mechanical time raster and which defines the individual raster timing points, there is arranged for rotation therewith, as for example mounted on the same shaft, an additional timing member or wheel having a number of timing positions which corresponds to the smallest whole number of revolutions of the type carrier for a corresponding whole number of revolutions of the timing wheel, which additional timing member is cooperable with means which enables an evaluation of only one timing position of such additional timing member during a revolution of the type carrier, whereby a synchronizing pulse may be accurately generated.
  • the timing generator for the symbol or character timing and the timing generator for the synchronizing pulses may be disposed on a common shaft, such as the shaft carrying the means forming the mechanical time raster.
  • the timing member or wheel of the timing generator for the synchronizing pulses will in most cases contain several timing points for the determination of the synchronizing impulses, more specifically as many as the number of full revolutions of the type carrier taking place in a whole number of revolutions of the mechanical time raster means.
  • the respective means for the determination of the time raster and of the synchronizing pulse, along with the respective sensing devices can be disposed immediately adjacent to one another and can be aligned with respect to one another and adjusted in a very simple manner.
  • the sensing devices for the individual symbol timing points of the time raster and the devices scanning the synchronizing pulse points of the additional timing wheel may be constructed as a unitary structure which is pivotally adjustable about the axis of the tinting wheels.
  • inductive scanning heads are employed for scanning or sensing the individual timing points as well as the synchronizing pulse points of the timing wheel for determining the starting position of the type carrier.
  • inductive scanning heads it is advantageous to arrange the inductive scanning heads so that they are adjustable in the direction of motion of the means representing the individual timing points.
  • the use of inductive scanning heads represents a relatively simple arrangement having maximum functional reliability for transforming the individual timing points and the synchronizing pulse points of the respective timing members into electrical pulses utilizable by the electronic circuit arrangement for the actuation of the printing apparatus.
  • inductive scanning means there are utilized, in place of inductive scanning means, respective light-responsive systems for effecting the scanning of the individual timing points as well as the synchronizing pulse points.
  • the shaft carrying the mechanical time raster means there is provided on the shaft carrying the mechanical time raster means a disc having slits in at the corresponding timing points which is cooperable with a disc rotatable with the type carrier, and having the same angular velocity, which is provided with a recess or opening adapted to expose the proper timing slits to a common light-responsive system whereby only a single scanning means, Le, a single light-responsive system may be employed for the generation of the synchronizing pulse.
  • the individual time raster elements of the mechanical time raster are utilized in the connection with the scanning means to generate the individual timing pulses whereby such individual time raster elements generate the timing signal which effect the actuation of the coupling member with the printing hammer.
