Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An imprinting device having a frame which mounts a form support bed.
  • the frame also mounts a plurality of printing wheels above the bed.
  • Each of the wheels has one peripheral segment with printing characters thereon, another peripheral segment with visually readable characters therein, and another peripheral segment with detent grooves.
  • the wheels are settable to select desired characters for printing.
  • a platen assem bly is mounted beneath the bed and the platen extends through a slot in the bed.
  • the platen assembly includes mounting members which mount the platen for shiftable movement between a printing position and an idling position. The mounting is such to move the platen to the printing position upon movement of the assembly in one direction and from one end and to an idling position upon movement of the assembly in the other direction from the other end.
  • the device also includes an inked printing ribbon which is advanced incrementally upon each printing cycle of the platen assembly.
  • a relatively small, simple, inexpensive imprinting device is provided which is especially adapted for individual use in making payment of various credit accounts.
  • the device includes a novel platen assembly with a roller platen which is shiftable between a printing position and a non-printing position on forward and reverse strokes of the roller platen in a relatively simple manner.
  • the device also includes print wheels which can be set to print the desired characters with the printing characters being carried on one sector of the periphery, visually readable indiciacarried on another sector for easy setting, and detents in still a third section.
  • the device also includes an inked printing ribbon which is advanced incrementally during each printing cycle of the device.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an imprinting device according to this invention
  • FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the device on a somewhat larger scale from FIG. 1 with the cover removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view to a larger scale, of the device
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken substantially along the plane designated by the line 7-7 of FIG. 6;
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are longitudinal sectional views, somewhat schematic, showing the operation of the platen mounting assembly
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the mounting of the imprinting wheels of thedevice.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken substantially along the plane designated by'the line I l--II of FIG. 3 showing the ribbon advancing mechanism;
  • FIG. 12 is a plan view of the parts shown in FIG. 11 of the ribbon advancingmechanism.
  • FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken substantially along the plane designated by the line 13-13 of FIG. 11.
  • the device includes a frame 10 and a cover 12 removably mounted thereon.
  • the frame 10 includes a pair of side plates 14 and 15 which are secured together by a multiplicity of tie bars 16 extending therebetween.
  • a form support bed 18 extends between the side plates 14 and 1S and is secured in openings 19 in each of the side plates 14 and 15.
  • the support bed 18 is disposed to support a form, for receiving printing, within the confines of the frame 10.
  • a plurality of printing wheels 20 are joumalled for rotation on an axle 22 secured to the side plates 14 and 15.
  • a printing ribbon 24 is rolled on a pay-out spool 26 and a take-up spool 28.
  • the ribbon 24 extends from the spool 26 to the spool 28- between the form support bed 18 and the printing wheels 20 to provide ink for printing on the form.
  • the spools 26 and 28 are held in place by spring clips 29.
  • the device also includes a platen mounting assembly 30 which mounts a roller platen 32 joumalled for rotation on a platen shaft 33.
  • the roller platen 32 is disposed to extend through an elongated through slot 34 in the form support bed 18 to rollin contact with a form supported on the bed and effect a printing operation of impressions from the characters on the printing wheels 20.
  • Printing Wheels Referring now to FIGS. 2and I0, each of the printing wheels 20 is formed with three separate segments having different peripheral characteristics.
  • the periphery of one segment contains printing characters 40
  • the periphery of another segment contains visual reading characters 42
  • the periphery of the third segment contains detent grooves 44.
  • the printing wheels 20 are joumalled for rotation on the axle 22 to set the desired printing characters in position. (The axle also serves as a tie bar between the side plates 14 and 15.)
  • the wheels are detented in position by means of spring detent arms 46 extending from a common bar 47 and which arms 46 releasably engage the detent grooves 44 to maintain the printing wheels in the selected position.
  • the bar 47 also serves as a tie bar.
  • the printing position of each character is that in which 'the printing character is aligned with the slot 34 in the bed 18.
  • the wheels are formed with arcuate slots 48, and a stop rod 50 extends through the arcuate slots 48 to thereby limit the amount of travel possible for each printing wheel.
  • stylus holes 52 are formed in the periphery adjacent each of the visually reading characters 42. This allows a pointed stylus to be inserted into the holes to set the desired characters.
  • the cover 12 has an opening 54 formed therein through which the printing wheels project to display the visually reading characters 42.
  • One edge 55 of the opening serves as a guide to indicate which printing character 40 is in the printing position, that printing character corresponding to the visual character 42, aligned with the edge 55.
  • the edge 55 also serves as a stop against which the stylus hits, so that when the stylus is inserted in the proper stylus hole adjacent the selected character, rotation of the wheels by the stylus will automatically set the desired character in the printing position.
  • the platen mounting assembly has first and second platen mounting members in the form of a carriage member designated generally as 56 and an actuating member designated generally as 58.
  • the carriage member 56 includes a frame 59 having a central opening 60 defined by a rear wall 61 and a pair of side walls 62. Each of the side walls 62 has a vertically extending guide slot 63. A platen shaft 33 of roller platen 32 resides in the guide slots 63. Wire springs 64 secure the shaft 33 within the slot 63.
  • a pair of latching springs 65 are provided on the opposite sides of the carriage member 56.
  • the latching springs 65 each have one end portion 65a disposed to engage spring engagement surfaces 66 formed in the side plate 14 and opposite end portions 65b disposed to latchingly engage spring engaging surfaces 67 in the side plate 15. These latching springs are shown in FIG. 3 engaging the spring engaging surfaces 66 in solid outline and engaging the spring engaging surface of 67 in dotted outline.
  • the carriage member 56 also includes a pair of downwardly extending resilient engagement catches 68. These catches are for mounting the carriage member 56 on the actuating member 58.
  • the actuating member 58 has an upper platen receiving section 72 and a lower guide section 74.
  • the platen receiving section 72 includes a pair of side walls 76 and a rearward end wall 78.
  • the side walls 76 each have a pair of lower eam slots 82 and upper cam slots 84.
  • Rearwardly of the cam slots 84 in each side wall is a vertically extending actuating surface 86. Sloping cam surfaces 87 connect the lower cam slots 84 and the upper cam slots 86.
  • a handle 88 extends from the upper guide section 74.
  • the guide section 74 is provided with a plurality of guide flanges 90 which slidingly engage guide track 92 extending between the side plates 14 and 15.
  • the guide section 74 also includes a pair of longitudinally extending openings 94 for receiving the engagement catches 68 of the carriage member 56. In their assembled relationship the carriage member 56 slips over the actuating member 58.
  • the platen receiving section 72 of the actuating member is disposed in the opening of the carriage member 56.
  • the engagement catches 68 of the carriage member 56 extends through the openings 94, in the actuating member 58.
  • the end wall 78 of the actuating member 58 is abutting wall 61 of the carriage member 56.
  • the platen shaft 33 is residing in the lower cam slots 82 of the actuating member which thus defines a lower position for the roller platen 32.
  • the platen shaft 33 will ride up the sloping cam surfaces 87 and engage in upper cam slots 84 and in abutment with the actuating surfaces 86.
  • the platen is caused to elevate to a printing position by causing relative movement of the actuating member 58 with respect to carriage 56.
  • the relation movement is caused by pulling handle 88 while latch spring retains the carriage 56.
  • the guide slots 63 formed in the carriage member 56 guide the shaft 33 with the platen 32 in a vertical direction as the movement of the actuating member 58 with respect to the carriage member 56 occurs.
  • the cam slots and cam surfaces act to raise and lower the roller platen.
  • the position of the platen on the assembly 30 is such that when the platen 32 is in the position shown in FIG. 9, it will extend completely up through the slot 34 pushing the form firmly against the printing wheels 20. However, when the platen 32 is in the position shown in FIG. 8, it will be sufficiently spaced from the form so as to not press it against the printing wheels or the ribbon 24, thus constituting a non-printing or idling position.
  • the ribbon advance mechanism includes a sprocket 96 fixed on the take-up spool 28.
  • the sprocket 96 is operated by an advancing pawl 98 which is pivotally mounted and a latching on the take-up spool dog 99.
  • the advancing pawl 98 is actuated by an operating arm 100 which is pivotally mounted on a pivot pin 101 for pivotal movement in a plane generally parallel with the bed 18.
  • the arm 100 is relatively rigid in the plane of its pivotal movement and relatively flexible in the plane transverse thereto.
  • the operating arm 100 carries an actuating yoke 102 engaging the advancing pawl 98 so that pivotal movement of the operating arm 100 in a clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 12 will cause the advancing pawl 98 to rotate the sprocket 96.
  • Return movement in a counterclockwise direction under urging of return spring 104 will cause the advancing pawl 98 to override the teeth of the sprocket with the latching dog holding the sprocket in position.
  • oscillating movement of the arm in a well known manner will incrementally rotate the sprocket 96, thus incrementally rotating the take-up spool 28.
  • the operating arm 100 is actuated by means of operating block 106 carried by the actuating member 58 of the platen mounting assembly 30.
  • the operating block I06 has generally vertically extending actuating surface 108 on the forward edge thereof and an override surface Il0 sloping generally downwardly and away from the actuatingsurface 108.
  • the actuating surface 108 of the operating block 106 will engage the operating arm 100 and rotate it to advance the ribbon one increment.
  • movement of the platen mounting assembly 30 from the position shown in solid outline to the position shown in dotted outline in FIG. 3 will cause the sloping override surface 110 to engage the operating arm 100.
  • the override surface will cause the arm 100 to flex upwardly and thus override the operating block so that no effect or actuation of the sprocket 96 occurs.
  • movement of the platen mounting assembly 30 in one direction will cause an incremental advance of the ribbon while movement in the opposite direction will have no effect on the ribbon.
  • the device is as generally shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • the form is first inserted onto the bed 18 so that it is below the ribbon 24 and the printing wheels 20.
  • the characters which it is desired to print are then selected by inserting a stylus into the stylus holes 52 and printing wheels turned to show the desired characters'above the edge 55.
  • the handle 88 is then grasped and pulled in a direction (downwardly as viewed in FIG. 3) to urge the platen mounting assembly to move from the position shown in solid outline constituting a home position to the position shown in dotted outline constituting an actuated position in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 3 As can be seen in FIG.
  • the latching springs 65 are engaging the latching spring engagement surfaces 67 of the side plate 15.
  • the sliding fit of the actuating member 58' with respect to the carriage member 56 is such that it takes less force to slide the actuating member 58. in the carriage member 56 from the position shown in FIG. 8 to the position shown in FIG. 9 than it does to release the detenting or latching action of the latching springs 65.
  • the actuating member 58 will first move with respect to the carriage member 56 from the position shown in FIG. 8 to that shown in FIG. 9, thus raising the platen 32 from the idling position to the printing position before there has been any longitudinal movement of the roller platen 32.
  • the latching springs 65 engage the spring engaging sur aces 66 of the side plate 14. Also at the end of the stroke the platen 32 remains in an upward or printing position as shown in FIG. 9. To complete the cycle the platen mounting assembly 30 is returned from the actuated position to the home position. This is done by pushing the handle 88 in an upward direction (as viewed in FIG. 3). When such force is exerted on the handle 88 the latching springs 65 will hold the carriage member 56 in the actuated position and the actuating member 58 will first move with respect to the carriage member 56 from the position shown in FIG. 9 to that shown in FIG. 8. This will cause the platen 32 to drop to its idling position in cam slots 82.
  • the actuating surface 108 of the operating block 106 will oscillate the operating arm I00 causing an incremental advance of the ribbon thus presenting a new ribbon surface for the next actuation on a printing cycle.
