  • An electronic sub-assembly, also completely enclosed, has a counting circuit connected to a device detecting the passage of the objects in front of the printing device, and a safety circuit.
  • the present invention relates to a machine for printing stamps on objects and in particular inspection or tax stamps on closing members such as bottle caps.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention provides a machine for printing stamps on objects of the type comprising a device for feedingthe objects and a device for printing the objects, wherein the printing device comprises a sub-assembly for inking up the printing surface and accessible and capable of being disassembled, a printing sub-assembly comprising a printing surface carrier and disposed in a chamber of a perfectly closed case, and an electronic sub-assembly also perfectly enclosed and comprising a counting circuit connected to a device for detecting the passage of the objects and a safety circuit.
  • This machine is therefore simple in construction and cheap and precludes any fraudulent utilization.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic elevational view of a machine according to the invention for printing a stamp or mark on metal caps for bottles;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view to an enlarged scale taken on line 22 of FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram of the circuitry of the electronic sub-assembly of the machine.
  • the machine shown in the drawings comprises a fixed table 1 for supporting bottles B and integral with a fixed vertical frame 2, a device A for feeding the bottles and a printing device I.
  • the bottle feeding device A comprises a disc 3 having notches 4 or a star-shaped member which is disposed above the table 1 and parallel to the latter and is driven in rotation by a motor 5 through the output shaft 6 or this motor, bevel gears 7 and a shaft 8 to which the disc 3 is fixed.
  • the printing device I is integral with the frame 2 an disposed above a region in which the disc 3 brings the bottles B to be printed. It is adjustable in height by ing the inking up sub-assembly E and a chamber 9" which is substantially closed and rendered inaccessible or tamper-proof by a sealed wall 9 which encloses the printing sub-assembly D.
  • the inking up sub-assembly E is detachably mounted in the chamber 9 of the case and comprises two parallel support plates 10 which carry an ink supply tank 11 open on a lateral side, a roller 12 for taking up ink tangent to the edge of the opening of the tank 11, ink
  • transfer roller which is displaced by a device (not shown) of the type conventionally employed in offset printing machines so as to come in contact alternately with the roller 12 and with a roller 14 which is tangent to an inkspreading roller 15 and a last roller 16 tangent to the roller 14 and provided for inking up the printing surface.
  • the roller 14 is rotated by the motor 5 through a belt 17 which extends around the shaft 14 of the roller 14.
  • the rollers 13, 15 and 16 are freely rotative on their shafts 13, 15 and 16 and are driven in rotation at least by the drive roller 14 to which they are tangent.
  • the roller 12 is periodically driven in rotation by the roller 14 through a device (not shown) also of the type means of a device (not shown) so as to adapt it to the variable height of the bottles to be printed.
  • the printing device is of the offset type and comprises a sub-assembly E for inking up the printing surface, orplate, a sub-assembly D for printing the printing surface on the caps C and an electronic sub-assembly F for detecting the caps and counting the printings.
  • the inking up and printing sub-assemblies E and D are disposed in a common case 9 having two adjacent chambers which are separated by a partition wall, namely a chamber 9 open in its upper part and enclosconventionally employed in offset printing machines.
  • the printing sub-assembly D is disposed in the chamber 9 of the case and comprises a printing surface or plate carrying roller 23 which carries an image of the stamp to be printed and which is tangent to the inking up roller 16 of the sub-assembly E through an opening 9 which puts the two chambers 9 and 9 in communication with each other.
  • This roller 23 is also tangent to a printing or transfer roller 24 which slightly projects beyond the lower face of the case through an opening 9" of the chamber 9".
  • each device for erasing this roller comprises fixed to one end of a rod 25 an erasing finger portion 26 sliding in a guide 27 integral with the case 9 and an electromagnet 28 for maintaining the finger member 26 separated from the roller 24 in opposition to the action of a spring 29.
  • the printing surface carrying roller 23 and printing roller 24 are driven by their shafts 23" and 24 around which the belt 17 extends.
  • the electronic sub-assembly F is, except for means for measuring the speed of rotation of the motor and two detectors detecting the presence of the caps C, placed in a case 30 adjacent the case 9 and closed by a sealed cover which therfore prevents access to the inside of the case 30.
  • the means for measuring the speed of rotation of the motor is a tachometric dynamo 31 which is screwed on the shaft of the motor 5.
  • An inductive detector 32 of the presence of a metal cap C of a bottle is placed under the case 9 in the vicinity of the opening 9" and printing roller 24. The zone of detection of this detector 32 is located upstream of the printing roller 24 with respect to the direction S of feed of the caps C to be printed so as to detect the caps slightly before their printing.
  • a second inductive detector 33 is placed next to the detector 32 in alignment with the axis of the printing roller 24 so as to detect the caps at the very moment of their printing.
  • the sub-assembly comprises a pulse generator 34 of the hybrid monostable type (flipflop a uni-junction timing circuit) having an input connected to the first detector 32 but having moreover a second input connected to the tachometric dynamo 31, this generator producing at a first output 34, when actuated by the detector 32, a signal of duration which is governed by or more precisely inversely proportional to the speed of the dynamo (the voltage of the latter being applied to the terminals of the capacitor of the RC circuit of the generator). In the absence of a signal at this output 34 there is a signal at its second output 34.
  • the hybrid monostable type flipflop a uni-junction timing circuit
  • the generator 34 From any one of its inputs to output 34 and output 34' the generator 34 defines signal generator means and signal generating means respectively.
  • This generator 34 is connected, on one hand through its output 34, to an electronic AND gate or element 35, and, on the other hand through its output 34", to an input of another AND gate or element 36.
  • the other input of the gate 35 is connected to the second detector 33 and its output is connected to an electromechanical pulse counter 37.
  • an electronic device 38 Connected in parallel with this counter 37 is an electronic device 38 adapted to check whether the counter has moved forward one unit in a normal interval of time for its advance. In the case of imperfect operation of the counter 37, this device sets off an alarm 39 and stops the motor 5.
  • the second detector 33 is also connected between the second input of the AND gate 43, to a third input of the AND gate 36.
  • the outputs of the gates 36 and 43 are connected through electronic INCLUSIVE OR gate or element 44 to an alarm device 45 which stops the machine.
  • the alarm and machine stopping devices 39, 45 can only be neutralized by actuation of the key safety contact 42 which also once more starts up the machine.
  • the sub-assembly E for inking up the printing surface is placed in the chamber 9 of the case 9, the positioning screw 22 being screwed in such manner that the inking up roller 16 comes in contact with the printing surface carrying roller 23.
  • the bottles B with their metal caps C are fed under the printing device I by the notches 4 of disc 3 which is driven by the motor 5.
  • the motor also drives the rollers 14, 22 and 24.
  • the roller 11 takes ink from the tank 12 and transmits this ink to the roller 14 through the transfer roller 13, the spreading roller 15 spreading the ink in a continuous film on the roller 14.
  • the latter transfers its ink to the inking up roller 16 which then inks up the printing surface carried by the roller 23.
  • the latter deposits or prints an image of the printing surface on the printing roller 24 which prints this image when it passes over the cap C through the opening 9" of the case 9.
  • the metal cap C When the metal cap C passes in front of the first detector 32, the latter sends a pulse to the generator 34 which then delivers at its output 34 a signal of a length inversely proportional to the speed measured by the tachometric dynamo 31.
  • This length of the signal is therefore also inversely proportional to the rate of feed of the bottles B which are fed by the disc 3 driven by the motor 5.
  • the length of the signal is such that at the normal rate of feed of the bottles, the metal cap C passes in front of the second detector 33 before the end of the signal.
  • the detector 33 delivers a pulse upon the passage of the cap C, that is to say at the moment of the printing of this cap by the roller 24, and this pulse is combined in the AND gate 35 with that of the signal delivered at the output 34 of the generator 34.
  • This gate 35 then delivers a pulse which actuates the electromechanical counter 37 and causes the latter to count one unit more. Thus, one count corresponds to-each printing of an image or stamping.
  • the flipflop 40 When the machine is started up, the flipflop 40 is in such state that there is no signal at its output 40 and a signal at its output 40".
  • the flipflop 40 Upon the passage of a cap in front of the detector 32, the latter sends a signal to the flipflop 40 which produces a signal at its output 40 and suppresses the signal at its output 40".
  • the cap in front of the detector 33 Upon the passage of the cap in front of the detector 33, the latter sends a signal to the AND gate 36 which already receives a signal from the output 40" of the flipflop but receives nothing from the output 34 of the monostable element so that this gate 36 does not set off the alarm 45.
  • this counter When the electromechanical counter 37 has advanced one unit after the passage of the cap in front of the detector 33, this counter sends a pulse through the INCLUSIVE OR gate 41 to the flipflop 40 which resumes its initial state so as to permit the following counting without setting off the alarm.
  • the electronic sub-assembly F also has for function to prevent any risk of fraud or error and a printing of the caps without counting.
  • the device 38 for checking that there is a normal advance of the counter sets off an alarm and stops the machine.
  • the metal cap C would pass under the second detector 33 before passing under the first detector 32 so that there would be no coincidence between the pulse of the detector 33 and the signal which is normally delivered by the output 34 of the generator 34 as a consequence of the actuation of the latter by the detector 32. Consequently, no counting could occur, since the AND gate 35 would not be actuated.
  • the pulse of the second detector 33 would coincide with a signal which is given by the output 40" of the flipflop 40 hearing in mind that no signal is given by the first detector 32.
  • These signals would give a signal at the output of the AND gate 43 and this signal would then set off an alarm and cause the complete stoppage of the machine by the action of the OR gate 44. Consequently, the machine could only be started up again by re-inserting the safety contact key 42 which flips the flipflop 40 and thus suppresses the signal delivered at the output 40".
  • the pulse of the detector 33 would not occur during the prolonged signal delivered by the generator 34 at its output 34 as a consequence of the actuation of the latter by the detector 32.
  • the pulse delivered by the detector 33 would occur whereas the generator 34 would be at rest, with a signal delivered at the output 34.
  • a signal would also be delivered at the output 40 of the flipflop 40 owing to the actuation of the latter by the detector 32.
  • the stamping of the caps is achieved in a continous manner.
  • the printing device is simple, since it only comprises rotating rollers without parts which move in translation or in a reciprocating manner.
  • the sub-assembly E for inking up the printing surface to be printed may be easily cleaned since it is sufficent to unscrew the screw 22 and raise the support plates which carry therewith the rollers 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 and the ink supply tank 11.
  • Another advantage of the invention resides in the simplification of the mechanical parts of this machine, due to the utilization of an electronic system for counting, detecting the caps, actuating the machine and detecting fraudulent use.
  • An improvement of the invention would consist in employing an ink having a resin base which would be polymerized immediately under the effect of a suitable radiation. For drying the ink it would then be sufficient to provide following on the printing device a source of radiation directed onto the upper part of the caps as they issue from below this device.
