Specification of Letters Patent.
\ Patented Nov. 28, 1905.
Application filed June 10, 1905. Serial No. 264,694.
To all whom/it. may concern:
Be it knownthat I, LUTHER E. SMITH, aciti-v zen of the United States of America, and a resident of Shelburne Falls, in the county of Franklin and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stamp-Affixing Devices, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention consists in a device for moistening and aflixing stamps or .gummed labels to letters or other articles, which includes a base or support for a pile of stamps,- a moistening-pad on said base, a lever having a swivel engagement with the base for a horizontal swinging movement relatively thereto and also jointed for vertical swinging motions,
a depending head carried by said lever and having a downwardly-opening aperture therein, and a collapsible bulb or other form of pneumatic carried by said lever and having a chamber therein in communication with said downwardly-opening aperture in said head,
' whereby by placing a letter in proper position on said base, swinging the lever over the pile of stamps after having collapsed the prionmatic, and allowing the pneumatic to exert a suction action on the uppermost one of the pile of stamps, such stamp may be carried from the pile while held against the under side of said depending head by the suction action exerted therethrough by the bulb and forced against the moistening-pad to be moistened thereby and then further carried and forced against the letter to be stamped,a slight pressure on the bulb at this final stage of the operation terminating the suction action exerted between the bulb. and stamp, leaving the latter in its aflixed position on the letter.
Theinvention,furthermore,includes as preferable provisions an angulargage for retaining thepile of stamps in properrposition on the base, a gage against which the letters may be successively brought, so that the stamp- In the drawings, A represents a base or support]; representingan angular gageforapile of postage-stamps, (indicated by m) and adjacent this gage and stamp pile is a shallow upwardlyopeningreceptacle B, in which is provided a fined in its letter-gaging position by the head of the binding-screw g, the threaded shank of which passes through saidislot and with a screw-thread engagement downwardly into said base.
G represents a handle-lever which is both swivel-connected and pivotally-jointed rela-' tively to a rearward portion of the base, soas to have horizontal swinging movements about a vertical axis and also up-and down swinging movements from a horizontal axis, and, as shown, this joint for the stated movements is constituted by a post or stud h, having its shank or lower portion fitted into a socket therefor'in a bushing 71, which screw engages into the base A, and to the upper extremity of said stud or post 71 a lever gis connected by a horizontal pivot j. The said leve'r g carries properly forwardly distant from its swiveling and pivotal connection a depending head or block E, which is apertured from the bottom up- Wardly therethrough, and in communication with this aperture, which may be by the bushing-tube is, is the chamber of a collapsible bulb or other form of pneumatic M, which is car-1' ried by the handle-lever G, we representing a sheet-metal bulb-guard alfixed on the upper edge of the handle-lever and curving upwardly -at opposite sides of the bulb for preventing side of the head. The lever is now swung to I the intermediate position (represented by the dotted line 3 and depressed to carry the under gummed side of the stamp onto the moistened pad, and the lever is further swung sidewise to the dotted-line position .2 and depressed to carry the moistened stamp against the letter. After the downward pressure has been exerted through the lever to aflix the stamp to the letter and in order that there may be no tendency to strip the yet moistened stamp from the letter a slight pressure is given on the bulb to terminate the suction action, so that the return motion of the lever for a repetition of the described operation is permissible with no tendency to loosen the stamp from the letter.
The side of the receptacle B for the moistening-pad constitutes in some measure a gage for the letter to be stamped, and in some cases the gage D might be considered unnecessary.
It is of course manifest that the described device, while primarily designed for stamping letters, is susceptible of use for the rapid aflixing of labels or any kind of stickers on various articles.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a device for moistening and aflixing stamps or the like, a base or support for a pile of stamps, and a moistening-pad on said base, a lever having a swivel engagement with the base, for a horizontal swinging movement relatively thereto, and also jointed for vertically swinging motions, a dependent head carried by said lever and having adownwardlyopening aperture therein, and a collapsible pneumatic carried by said lever and having the chamber therein in communication with said downwardly-opening aperture.
2. In a device for moistening and aflixing stamps or the like, a base or support for a pile of stamps, an angular stamp-positioning gage, and a moistening-pad on said base, a lever, having a swivel engagement with the base for horizontal swinging movements relatively thereto, and also jointed forvertically-swing ing motions, a dependent head carried by said lever having a downwardly-opening aperture therein, and a collapsible pneumatic carried by said lever and having the chamber therein in communication with said downwardly-opening aperture.
3. In a device for moistening and ailixing stamps or the like, a base or support fora pile of stamps, a moistening-pad, and a letter-positioning gage on said base, a lever having a swivel engagement with the base, for horizontal swinging movements relatively thereto, and also jointed for vertically-swinging motions, a dependent head carried by said lever having a downwardly-opening aperture therein, and a collapsible pneumatic carried by said lever and having the chamber therein in communication with said downwardlyopening aperture.
4:. In a device for moistening and afiixing stamps or the like, a base or support for a pile of stamps, a moistening-pad, a stamp-positioning angular gage, and a letter-positioning gage on said base, a lever having a swivel engagement with the base, for horizontal swinging movements relatively thereto, and also jointed for vertically-swinging motions, a dependent head carried by said lever having a downwardly-opening aperture therein, and a collapsible pneumatic bulb carried by said lever and having the chamber therein in communication with said downwardly-opening aperture, and the bulb-guard provided on said lever and extending adjacent the opposite sides of said bulb.
Signed by me in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
