Definitions
- the imprinting apparatus of the invention comprises a base section defining a zone for indicia presentation to contact with sheet means such as one or more sheets placed over that zone; a head section, including a pressureroller, relatively movable from retracted position in which the pressure roller isspace'd from the base section to closed position in whichthat roller is presented for displacement across that zone in contact with the sheet; first means to releasably lock the head sectionin closed position in response to head section movement into that position; and other means to forcibly urge the roller relatively toward that zone in response to roller displacement thereacross, with the head section locked in closed position.
- the apparatus in locked condition permits development of maximum roller pressure against the sheet over the indicia to secure imprinting of multiple sheets in a stack. This is especially important in applications such as hospitals and governmental agencies where a large number of forms typically must be filled in with an individuals name and/or address and/or se-- rial number.
- the invention enables positive rapid and legible imprinting of a large number of forms or sheets in a stack, and simultaneously, using one or more removable, embossed cards, without chance of jamming of the forms or of the card or cards.
- the same arm may advantageously, when so swung, effect actuation of a drive to translate the roller across the indicia zone, so that the multiple functions of opening and closing of the two sections, their interlocking and release, and drive energization are all controlled by movement of the one operating arm.
- the drive and pressure roller may be carried in a modular frame which is removably attached to the head section to be removed from servicing or replacement, or even for reorientation in the head section to extend imprinting capability as will be seen.
- Additional objects include the provision of an indicia carrier support platen of unusually advantageous construction, and which is supported in the base section to accommodate reversal as desired and to be yieldably depressed in response to reception of pressure roller force application thereby to control the upper limit of pressure application to the sheets and indicia so as not to pennanently deform the indicia.
- rail or rails may be incorporated on the platen to block clamping of the sheet means between the roller and indicia carrier (preventing smudging) while permitting clamping of the sheet between the roller and the raised indicia. Further, the extent of the rail prevents sudden acceleration of roller rotation upon arrival over the raised indicia, which in turn prevents unwanted movement and skewing of the sheet during imprinting, as will be seen.

- lines 9-9 of FIG. 14a and 14b are plan views' showing different use configurations of a modified form of the apparatus.
- the DETAILED DESCRIPTION spaced from the base section, to closed position (as for example is seen in FIGS. 3, 11 and 12) in which the roller is presented proximate the base section for lateral displacement across and in contact with sheet means 14 (comprising one or more sheets in a stack).
- sheet means 14 comprising one or more sheets in a stack.
- the sheet means may be conveniently placed over an indicia car- I rier 15, a carrier support such as platen 16 and a sheet supporting table 17, elements 15-17 being carried by the base section.
- the carrier 15 may for example comprise a plastic card removably received on the platen, and which carries embossments l8 defining indicia (as for example a name and serial number) pressurally engageable with the sheet means to effect imprinting of the latter.
- indicia carriers may be carried by or presented at the platen 16, one example being a small metal plate 19 presenting embossments 20 (for example identifying a company name).
- embossments 20 for example identifying a company name.
- Another example is an adjustable assembly of coaxial rotors 21 carrying embossments (for example identifying the month, day and year). The rotor assembly is carried by the base section and received in a through opening 22 in the platen for selected embossment presentation at a preselected level above the upper surface level of the platen.
- the sheet means 14 and card 15 cannot become jammed or stuck against removal from position between the roller 13 and platen, no matter how many individual sheets are in the stack defining the sheetmeans.
- the head section may be lifted to immediately free the forms and the removable indicia carrying card and/or plate 15 and 19 for lift-off removal from the base section.
- imprintable sheets are carbon paper sheets interposed between other paper sheets such as forms, and so-called NCR paper containing very small, pressure rupturable, ink containing globules.
- first means is provided to releasably lock the head section -in closed position in response to head section movement into closed position.
- first means includes an operating arm 24 which may be generally L-shaped to define arm segments 24a and 24b.
- the arm is carried by the head section, as for example at pivot connection 28 to head section side panels 29 defining a second pivot axis 30 parallel to axis 26.
- the arm segment 24 is also coupled to the base section to displace the head section toward and away from the base section when the'arm is rotated in opposite directions relatively about axis 26.
- Such coupling may advantageously include arcuate cam elements, as for example like cam slots 31 defined by thickened portions of base section side panels 32, and follower elements such as follower pins 33 carried by the arm segment 24b.
- the inwardly facing slots 31 are generally circular about axis 26; however the pivots 25 defining axis 26 may be slightly eccentric to accommodate tracking of followers 33 in the slots 31, without binding.
- the pins 33 are displaced in generally circular paths about axis 26.
- A'tension spring connected between the base section at 111 and a post 112 on the head section serves to provide counterbalancing force for easing lifting of the head section.
- a further mode of coupling of the arm segment 24b to the base section side panels 32 comprises a cam slot extension, 34 which intersects slot 31 to receive the follower when the head section is in closed position.
- depression of the arm segment 24a from broken line position 24a to solid line position as shown in FIG. 3 effects pivoting of the arm about axis 30 to carry the follower along cam slot extension 34 to the locking position.
- the head section is thereby releasably locked in closed position so that the roller may be displaced across the indicia zone while it exerts substantial force against the sheet means subject to imprinting.
- unlocking of the sections following imprinting is very simply effected by slight lifting of the arm segment 24a to the broken line position 24a.
- slot extension 34 extends generally circularly about axis 30.
- the described first means, such as includes arm 24, to releasably lock the head section in closed position may advantageously have the further function of effecting energization of the drive serving to displace the roller transversely across the indicia zone, as for example between roller positions represented in FIGS. 9 and 10.
- the drive indicated generally at 38 in FIGS. 3 and 912 includes an electrical motor 39 carried by the head section and coupled in driving relation with the-roller as for example by means of drive chains 39a entrained on drive sprockets 40 connected with the oppositely projecting motor output shafts 41. Opposite ends of each chain are connected to roller carriers 42 journaled to the roller trunnions 43 as appears in FIGS. 12, for example.
- Idler sprockets 44 are carried by the front and rear panels 45 of a drive module or frame 46 removably attached as by fasteners 47 to the head section side panels or support structure 29. This allows removal of the drive module whenever desired for servicing or replacement. All-elements of the roller drive carried by the module frame. Chain slack is removed by idler sprockets SOcarried by arms 51 pivoted to the panels 45 at 52, and spring urged at 53 to cause the sprockets 50 to mesh with and deflect the chain as shown in FIG.
- a motor control switch 54 is carried' by the module 46 on the head section so as to be actuated upon final lowering of arm segment 24a during locking of the headsection in closed position.
- a pusher 55 is depressed by the arm segment 24a to depress the switch plunger 56 effecting motor energization.
- a spring 57 urges the pusher upwardlyto release the switch plunger when the arm segment 24a is lifted to unlock the head section from the base section.
- a plate ele- -ment 58 is shiftable in opposite directions in response to roller travel in opposite directions across the indicia zone, and limit switch means indicated generally at 59 is actuable by the plate element to effect deenergization of the motor upon completion of roller travel across that zone.
- the plate 58 may contain guide slots 60 and 61 receiving pins 62 and 63 carried by the module 46 to support the plate and limit its endwise movement. The-plate is moved to the left to FIG. position during the final movement of the roller to the left, as
- other means is provided to forcibly urge the roller 13 toward the indicia on elements 15, 19' and 21 defining the indicia zone in response to roller. displacement across that zone as described, with the head section locked in closed position.
- Such other means may advantageously comprise guideways on the head section, as for example are defined by shoulders 70, 71 and 72 on plates 45, together with reduced diameter roller trunnion portions 73 riding on and movable along the guideways in response to roller bodily displacement between FIGS. 9 and 10 positions.
- the guideways 70 and 72 define ramps angled to displace the roller carriers or trunnions in a direction forcibly moving the roller toward the base section and-away from the headsection, assuring development of sufficient pressure to effect imprinting of multiple sheets or forms in the stack applied over the embossments defining the indicia.
- the limits of roller trunnion travel are defined by arcuate shoulders 75 and 76.
- yieldable means such as Belleville washer stacks 78 are carried on base plate 79 to support the platen in such manner as to yield and thereby control the force application to the sheet means by the roller 13, such force application thereby being the same'for a wide range of overall thicknesses of the sheet means 14.
- Fasteners 80 project through the washers and are threadably attached to the base plate, allowing fastener adjustment to control initial compression of the washers and positioning of the platen. See also FIG. 13 in this regard.
- Locating fingers 82 for card project upwardly via openings 83 the platen, and are resiliently mounted as by flat spring extensions 84 attached to the underside of the platen.
- the fingers are easily depressed downwardly by the sheet means or stack 14 in response to pressurization by roller 13.
- the platen is endwise reversible 180, as accommodated by removal of fasteners 80, permitting relocation of the indicia as on card 15 further from the pivots 25 so as to permit imprinting at sheet locations further from the sheet edge advanced against structure locations 86 in FIG. 1.
- the platen 16 is seen to carry a rail 87 projecting outwardly from the platen surface 88 to an extent t which is less than the outward projection t of the indicia 89 on indicia carrying card 90 from the surface 88, but to greater extent than the projection t of the main body of card 90 from surface 88.
- t may be about 0.030 inches; t about 0.037 inches; and t between 0.040 and 0.050 inches, for a currently used plastic credit card.
- the purpose of the rail is to prevent smudging of the sheet 14 during imprinting, as discussed in our copending U.S. Pat. application entitled, Elimination of Uncontrolled Background Reproduction During Printing.
- the rail 87 preferably extends at 87a and 87b endwise beyond the indicia presented upwardly in FIG. 6. This results in the initiation of rotation of the roller 13 (in response to compressive force transmission to the rollerfrom the rail.) prior to arrival of the roller over the raised indicia, so that skewing or other unwanted displacements of the sheet which might then occurr are prevented, and irrespective of the degree of clamping force transmission by the roller and the speed of roller travel over the indicia.
- the rail surface may be etched or otherwise configured to imprint a pattern such as a name on the sheet means.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a modified platen wherein two additional rails 90 and. 91 are provided, parallel to rail 87.
- Rails 87 and 91 embrace the plastic card zone 15a; and rails 87 and 90 embrace the metal card zone 19a and the adjustable embossing wheel zone 21a.
- the module 46 is shown attached by fas'teners'47 to the head structure so that the roller 13 moves across the indicia zone in the directions parallel to pivot axis 26 previously referred to. If desired, the module may be removed and rotated 90 and refastened to the head so that the roller 13 will then travel across the indicia zone-inthe directions 101 generally toward and away from axis 26.
- This enables very rapid production of imprints, as for example labels 102 on an elongated sheet indexed in the direction 103 between each imprinting.
- Such indexing may be controlled as at 104, link 105 indicating actuation of arm 24 in predetermined timed relation to operation of sheet indexing drive 106 connected tothe control by link 107.
- the module 46 typically includes the roller 13 and its drive, including motor 39 and associated electrical circuitry.
- An electrical power plug may then be ditively movable from retracted position in which the roller is openly spaced from said base section to closed position in which the roller is presented for displacement across said zone in contact with the sheet, the base and head sections having pivoted 7 interconnection to accommodate swinging of the head section'between said retracted and closed positions, and about a first pivot axis,
- said first means including an operating arm carried by the head section and coupled with the base section to' displace the head section toward and away from the base section when the arm is rotated in opposite directions relatively about said axis, the arm being swingable about a second pivot axis with the head section in said closed position and relative to both the head and base sections to effect said locking of the head section to the base section, the arm having pivotal connection to thehead section to define said second axis which extends parallel to i the first axis, 7
- a drive comprising an electrical motor carried by the head section and coupled in driving relation with the roller to displace the roller across said zone, the drive including a motor control switch carried by the head section to be actuated toward said zone in response to said roller displace- Q by said first means only after said locking of the head section in closed position.
- said other means includes a guideway on the head section, and a roller carriedmovable along said guidewayin response to'said displacement of the roller across said zone, the guideway'i'ncluding a ramp portion angled to displace the carrier in a direction forcibly moving the roller relatively toward the base section and away from the head section.
- apparatus for effecting imprinting of a sheet comprising a. a base section and a carrier thereon, the carrier having indicia presented away from the base section for-contact with the sheet placed thereover,
- a head section including a pressure roller, relatively movable from retracted position in ,which the roller is openlyspaced from said base section to closed position in which the roller ispresented for v bodily displacement lengthwise of and over the rail means and over the indicia to urge the sheet thereagainst, Y
- the base section includes a platen carrying the rail means and defining a zone in which the carrier is received.
- a head section including a pressure roller, relatively movable from retracted position in which the roller is openly spaced from said base section to closed position in which the'roller is presented for displacement across said zone in contact with the sheet,
- a drive comprising an electrical motor coupled in driving relation with the roller to displace the roller across said zone
