  • PAINT WHEEL SETTING ARRANGEMENT IN DUPLICATING PRINT DRUMS WITI-I PUNCH CONTROL MEANS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known to mount in a cavity of printing drum of a rotary duplicator, an ordinal set of stamping wheels which make imprints on a copy sheet together with the imprints of the master sheet which is mounted on the printing roller. A line of alphanumerical characters, or only of digits, can thus be imprinted on a card on which other information is printed by duplicating operations.
  • the stamping wheels are comparatively small, and are manually set by an implement which is inserted into recesses which are provided adjacent the digital types of the stamping wheels. This setting operation is very time consuming, and the recesses are worn off by the frequently inserted implement, and do not properly hold the same so that setting errors occur.
  • Another object of the invention is to control the storage means of a punching device by electric sensing means which sense the positions of the setting means of the setting device, so that the punched information is identical with the stamped information.
  • Another object of the invention is to indicate the positions of the stamping wheels by indicia on the larger setting means so that the set information can be easily read by the operator of the machine.
  • Another object of the invention is to electrically display the numerical indicia to which the stamping .wheels are set.
  • An embodiment of a stamping wheel setting arrangement comprises a printing drum mounted on the frame of a rotary duplicating machine for rotation, and having a cavity forming an opening at the peripheral surface of the printing drum; a set of stamping wheels'rotatably mounted in the cavity of the printing drum, each stamping wheel having a plurality of angular positions, and a plurality of type portions; a support in the form of a casing having an inoperative position retracted from the printing drum,
  • a set of manual setting means preferably levers with handle portions, mounted on the support casing for movement with the same between the inoperative and operative positions, and also for setting movement relative to the same; and a set of transmissions for connecting the setting means with the stamping means, respectively, in the operative position.
  • Each transmission includes a first transmission member such as a first gear secured to the respective stamping wheel for rotation therewith, and a second transmission member, such as a gear segment connected with the respective setting lever.
  • the stamping wheel can be manually set by the setting levers from outside of the cavity and peripheral surface, while the support casing is in the operative position. In the inoperative position of the support casing, the gear segment portions of the setting levers are spaced from the cavity and the driving connection between the setting levers and the stamping wheels is interrupted so that the printing drum can perform a printing operation.
  • each transmission includes a gear segment means mounted in the cavity on the printing drum for angular movement, and having a gear segment meshing with the respective setting gear of a stamping wheel, and another gear segment meshing with the gear segment portion of the respective setting lever in the operative position of the supporting cases, and being separated from the same in the inoperative position of the supporting casing.
  • the setting levers are double-armed and are mounted on the supporting casing for angular movement about a common axis.
  • Each of the levers has a longer manually operated arm, and a shorter arm having a gear segment portion.
  • Means are provided on the supporting casing for indicating the angular positions of the longer arms in the operative and inoperative positions of the supporting casing.
  • a number segment having numerical indicia is secured to each layer, and the row of indicia indicating the positions of the stamping wheels, can be viewed through a slot in the supporting casing in both positions of the casing.
  • the supporting casing is preferably mounted on a stationary shaft for angular movement, and the inoperative and operative positions are preferably spaced an angle greater than 30".
  • the supporting casing with the setting levers is automatically locked in the retracted inoperative position, and is unlocked by an electromagnetic means only if the printing drum is in an angular position in which its cavity with the stamping wheels therein, is properly located to cooperate with the setting means in the supporting casing when the same is moved to the operative position.
  • a switch connected in series with the electromagnetic means, and operated by a cam on the printing drum obtains this result.
  • Another safety measure is to prevent operation of the starting lever of the printing machine, as long as the supporting casing with the setting means is in the operative position, and the transmission gears mesh.
  • a mirror system is used for reflecting numerical indicia representing the selected types of the stamping wheels, toward the eyes of the operator.
  • a set of contact plates is fixedly mounted on the supporting casing adjacent the setting levers, respectively, and each setting lever supports a brush sliding over the contacts of the correlated contact plate during setting movement.
  • An electric circuit connects the brushes and contacts with a storage device so that information regarding the set types is stored, and can be used for controlling a conventional punch.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view illustrating a stamp wheel setting device in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and particularly illustrating a locking device for locking the supporting casing in the inoperative position;

  • FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention in which lateral frame walls 12 and 13 support the shaft 2 of the printing drum 1 of a rotary duplicator.
  • Printing drum 1 has a cavity la in which a shaft means 3, extending parallel to the shaft 2 of the printing drum 1, supports a set of stamping wheels 4 to which gears 5 are secured, respectively.
  • Each stamping wheel 3 has a peripheral set of type portions 4a, one of which is flush with the peripheral surface of printing drum 1, on which a master sheet 1b is mounted. Consequently, during a printing operation, the respective type portions 4a of all stamping wheels 4 are effective to print a line on the copy sheet or card receiving imprints from the master sheet lb.
  • a set of gear segment means 6 is mounted on shaft 7 in the cavity In, and each gear segment means 6 has a gear segment portion 8 meshing with the respective gear 5, and a staggered gear portion 9 meshing with a gear segment portion 16 of a double-armed setting lever 16a.
  • Alternate setting levers 16a have projecting finger engaging portions 18 and 19 which are angularly staggered so that more room is available for the finger of an operator pressing either against a finger engaging portion 19 or against a finger engaging portion 18, as best seen in FIG. 4. All setting levers 16, 16a are mounted for independent turning movement on a shaft 17 supported by the lateral wall of a support casing 15 which has a curved top plate 15a.
  • a support shaft 14 is mounted in the stationary frame walls 12 and 13, of which only support wall 12 is shown in FIG. 4.

  • Gear segment means 6 has an arm 6a with arresting recesses 6b engaged by a spring loaded arresting member 11 which is mounted on the printing drum 1. Consequently, the stamping wheels 4 cannot be accidentally displaced during the separation of the gear segment portion 16 from the gear segment portion 9 or during engagement of the same.
  • a pair of arresting members 21, 22 is mounted for scissor-like movement on a shaft 20 supported by the side walls of support casing 15, and one pair of end portions of arresting members 21 and 22 is urged apart by a spring 23, so that the arresting portions 21a and 22a at the other ends of arresting members 21 and 22 fall into corresponding recesses 24 provided in the fixed support shaft-14, so'that it is not possible to turn support casing a with the setting levers 16a to the inoperative position, unless arresting members 21 and 22 are manually operated.
  • any setting lever 16a can be angularly displaced by the operator engaging either finger engaging portion 18 or finger engaging portion 19 for placing a selected printing portion 4a in the operative position flush with the surface of the printing drum 1.
  • Each setting lever 16a has a segment shaped portion 28 provided with numerical indicia corresponding to the numbers represented by the type portions 4a of each stamping wheel 4.
  • a row of numerical indications corresponding to the numerals which will be stamped by the set of stamping wheels 4, is located under a slot 27 of support casing 15 so that the operator can directly read out the position of the stamping wheels 4 by viewing the indicia of the setting portions 28 through slot 27. Since the lever arms with the indicia carrying segments 28 are much longer than the lever arms of the gear segment portions 16, the indicia can be larger and better readable than in constructions in which the indicating number wheels are located in the cavity of the printing drum.
  • arresting members 21, 22 When the setting of the stamping wheels 4 has been completed, the ends of arresting members 21, 22 are pressed together so that the arresting portions 21a and 22a release the recesses 24 in support shaft 14, and support casing 15 can be turned to the position shown in broken lines.
  • arresting members 21, 22 When arresting members 21, 22 are manually released, spring 23 causes arresting portions 21a, 22a to enter the recesses 26, so that the support casing is locked in the inoperative position shown in broken lines, permitting the attachment of a master sheet lb, and also rotation of the printing drum during a printing operation in which the selected type portions 40 and also the master sheet lb make imprints on a copy sheet.
  • a locking device is provided for locking support casing 15 in the inoperative position, and this locking device 30 to 35, best seen in FIG. 2, includes an electromagnet 32 mounted on a side wall of support casing 15, a locking member 30 pivotally connected with the armature of electromagnet 32 and being biased by the spring of the same to engage a locking arm 33 which is adjustably mounted on a link connecting fixed shaft 14 with another fixed shaft 34, also mounted on frame wall 13.
