STAMP AFFIXER. (Applicatio led. June 27, 1902 ITED-S'IATES HENRY D. LONG AND JAMES JACKSON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
STAM P-AFFIXER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,272, dated September 16, 1902.
Application filed June 27, 1902. Serial No. 113.408. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HENRY D. LONG and JAMES J AoKsoN, citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stamp-Affixers, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention consists of a stamp-aflixer embodying an elastic pad and a box, said parts being adapted to retain their connec tion, owing to the frictional nature of said pad, with said box, meanson the box for preventing a collection of saliva occasioned by the licking of the stamps, and other details of construction, as will be hereinafter described, the novel features of the invention being pointed out in the claims.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a stamp-affixer embodying our invention. Fig. 2 represents a View of a portion thereof. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section on line at m, Fig. 1. Fig. 4: represents a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 5 represents a perspective view of a covering-cap.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring tothe drawings, A designates a hollow head, with which is connected at top the handle B and at bottom the pad 0, the latter being formed of soft rubber or other suitable elastic material.
D designates a box which receives the head A and with whose inner walls the sides of the pad 0 are in frictional contact, so that under ordinary circumstances said box is prevented from slipping from said head, and vice versa. On the under side of the box D are the inturned lips E, the latter overhanging the side portions of the pad 0, so that said pad is prevented from being forced through said box in downward direction and the box is controlled in its upward motion. In order to connect the pad with the head, the latter has its lower end formed with inturned tongues F, and the upper portion of said pad has its sides grooved, as at G, to receive said tongues, thus interlocking said pad with said head,
whereby the pad' is retained in position in a convenient, simple, and durable manner.
It will be noted that the box is four-sided, and the lips E extend around three of the sides, leaving the fourth side free of such lips, as at E, whereby when the stamps are placed in the box the lowermost stamp is rested on the lips E, so as to remain at the bottom of said box until removed, as will be hereinafter explained. Now as the gummed side of the lowermost stamp is presented to the tongue in order to be moistened and the device moved in the direction, in the present case from right to left, the tongue will not come in contact with a lip at side E of the box, as none exists there. Consequently there is no place for lodgment of saliva at said side, and moistening of the ends of the stamps above the lowermost one is prevented. When the exposed stamp is moistened, it is forcibly pressed upon an envelop, wrapper, card,'&c., to be stamped, and the device is then raised, whereby the stamp adheres to said envelop, &c., and is drawn out of the box, when another stamp takes its place and may be moistened and affixed as before, it being noticed that while the stamp has three of its edges subjected to the suificient holding action of the lips E the unlipped side of the box admits of the stamp as moistened and applied being relieved of said lips as the device is raised. Furthermore, the face of the pad is somewhat convex or bulging in its nature, so as to slightly bend the stamps in the box, whereby the bent portion of the stamp will first come in contact with the envelop, &c., and be affixed thereto. Then as the downward force or pressure of the device continues the pad yields and is somewhat flattened out, so that almost the entire surface of the stamp is subjected to pressure, and the moisture of the adhesive material will spread to the extreme edges of the stamp, so that a slight finishing pressure by the finger will cause the effective affixing of the stamp. Duringthese operations'while the pad is allowed to yield subject to its pressure the head remains connected with the box, owing to the frictional contact of the sides of the pad with the interior wall of the box. When the stamps have been exhausted, the head is withdrawn from the box and a fresh number of stamps inserted in the latter,when the head is reapplied, the padthen resting against the topmost stamp and the lowermost stamp being in a position ready to be moistenedand affixed to the place of use, as before. When the device is not in use, its lower portion or base may be covered by the cap H, thus guarding the exposed stamp from contact and loss.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is
1. In a stainp-affixer, a head having an elastic pad thereon and a box adapted to receive said head and pad and being provided with inturned lips on its lower end, said pad being in frictional contact with said box.
2. In a stamp-affixer, a head having an elastic pad thereon, and a box adapted to receive said head and pad, said pad being in frictional contact with said box-and adapted to retain said head and box in connection.
3. In a stamp-affiXer, a hollow head having inturned tongues'and a pad of elastic material having grooves in its sides adapted to receive said tongues forming interlocking joints connecting said pad with said head.
4. In a stamp-affixer, a hollow head, a handle at the upper end thereof, an elastic pad connected with the lower end thereof, said head and pad being connected by an interlocking joint and a box having inturned lips on its lower end.
5. In a stamp-aflixer, a hollow head, a bandle at the upper end thereof, an elastic pad connected with the lower end thereof, said head and pad being connected by an interlocking joint and a box having inturned lips on certain sides of its lower end.
