NUMBERING ARRANGEMENT FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH PRINTING AND NUMBERING MACHINES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 30, 1906.
Application filed July 18, 1905. Serial No. 270,197.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, DAVID GARLAW, Sr., DAVID GARLAW, Jr., ALEXANDER LYLE CAE- LAW, and JAMES WHITE CARLAw, residing at Glasgow, Scotland, have invented an Improved. Numbering Arrangement for Use in Connection with Printing and Numbering Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a numbering arrangement for use in connection with rotary printing and numbering machines such as used for rinting and numbering counter check-boo (S, bill-heads, tickets, labels, 850.
Under this invention the numbering arrangementpomprises a disk or wheel, upon the circumference of which two sets of numbers are arranged, and in order that the numbers may be rinted in proper order and position the disli is revolved by suitable mechanism and is also at intervals shifted laterally, so as to alternately bring first the one set of numbers and then the other set of numbers into correct printing position. Of course instead of using one numbering disk or wheel there may be several numbering disks or Wheels arranged side by side, and the mechanism would be arranged so as to shift the disks or wheels laterally to the correct printing position. In order that the printing may only take h lace at a certain point (or points) on the surface of the impression-cylinder, the place or places where it is desired the printing should take place are raised up slightly above the general surface of the cylinder, and the numbering disk or disks are so arranged that the peripheral numbers will only contact with and make an impression on the paper at these raised places.
The invention may be carried out in various ways without departing from the principle thereof; but in order that the invention may be clearly and precisely understood We will now proceed to describe one arrangement suitable for rotary printing and numbering machines such as used for printing and numbering check-books.
The arrangement is illustrated. under two modifications on the drawings annexed, whereon Figure 1 is a plan view of the numbering mechanism. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line X X, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section of the numbering-wheel a. Fig. 4 shows a modified arrangement wherein two numbering wheels are used.
In carrying out the invention for a machine adapted to number two sheets in the circumference of the impression-cylinder at each revolution thereof, each sheet being separately numbered, and. presuming that the numbers only run up to 50, then we provide a disk or wheel a with two parallel circumferential ridges a (1 each having circumferential projections provided with numbers for the first ridge, odd numbers from 1 to 49, and for the second ridge even numbers from 2 to 50, the numbers 6 being arranged and engraved in any suitable and well-known manner, so as to properly number the sheets and print them longitudinally or transversely, or otherwise. In order that the printing may be done at the correct position 011 the impression-cylinder c, the disk is shifted laterally, so as to bring each ridge alternately into the proper printing position. To effect this, the numbering-disk is mounted on a sleeve d, fitted slidably on a shaft 6, which latter is revolved by means of gearing from the axle h of the impression-cylinder, which latter is revolved by gear in the usual manner. The sleeve, which is slotted at i, is guided. by means of a key 3', secured to the shaft, and is moved back and forward laterally thereon by means of a jaw k on a vibrating lever Z, which jaw engages with collars e e on the sleeve. The lever, which is fulcrumed on a bolt m in a bracket m, is operated by means of a cam 0 on the shaft of the impression-cylinder. The cam 0 has a groove 0, in which runs a roller m carried at the end of the lever Z. The fork is is also provided with antifriction-rollers 7c The paper on the impression-cylinder is out of contact with the numbers of the numberingwheels, except at certain raised parts which are made 011 the cylinder. These raised parts would be suitably positioned according to the nature of the work being done. When there are two sheets circumferentially arranged and numbered at each revolution of the impresson-cylinder, then of course there would be two raised parts or sets of raised parts arranged at points diametrically opposite to one another.
On the drawings the impression-cylinder is shown as made with a longitudinal strip 1), which may consist of a piece of vulcanized roe fiber or other material let into a groove in the surface of the cylinder and in such manner as to lie flush therein. This groove is dovetailed, so as to hold the strip securely in place, and it also runs in a line which is exactly parallel with the axis of the cylinder. At the place where it is desired to print the numbers on the sheets of paper a piece of cloth or other like soft material q is secured to the strip p, so as to raise the surface of the cylinder at this spot sufficiently to insure the numbers of the numb ering-wheel contacting with it, and consequently printing the pap er when it passes over it. The numbers of the numberingwheel do not contact with the paper at any other part of the cylinder. When two sheets are numbered at each revolution of the cylinder, then there are two insets p and two pieces g, one on each inset. If more sheets are printed at each revolution, then of course the raised places are increased accordingly. In order that the numbers may be printed consecutively, the gearing f g, connecting the impression-cylinder and the numberingwheel shaft, would have wheels with unequal numbers of teeth. When two sheets are circumferentially arranged and printed at each revolution of the impression-cylinder, then there would be one wheel with forty-eight teeth and the other with fifty.
The numbering-disk a is fitted slidably upon the sleeve (1 and can be shifted to any desired position thereon and clamped by the screws 7' 1'. Of course when the disk is moved along the sleeve the raised piece g has to be removed and a raised part fitted at another point in the length of the strip 1), which will correspond with the new position of the numbering-disk. The advantage of having the longitudinal strip 1) is thus easily seen, as it facilitates the accurate placing of the raised part or parts g. If there are two or more numbering disks or wheels a, then the lateral movement in order to brin the disks into proper printing position wou d have to be increased, and the increase may be effected by a second cam arrangement, which may be connected with the first and be so arranged as to shift the disks the proper distances at the proper times. This arrangement is shown at Fig. 4, where it will be seen that there are two disks 0, (1, arranged side by side on the sleeve d. In this case the cam 0 has a second groove 0 with which a pin 8 of a bar 8 engages. This bar is slidably fitted in the machine-frame t and has a second pin 8 which engages with a groove u in a cam u on a spindle 12, having a worm-wheel c, which is rotated by a worm w on a shaft w. The shaft is carried in the frame-bracket 1.0 and is rotated by means of suitable gearing. One of the disks may be adapted to print from 1 to 50 and the other. from 51 to 100, and the parts of the mechanism are arranged so that whenever the printing up to.
50 has been accomplished the worm-gear w 12 comes into action and causes the cam u to throw the 1 to 50 disk out of printing position and insert the other disk into osition, so as to continue the printing up to 100, when the cam 11. is caused to throw out the 1 to 100 disk and reinsert the l to 50 disk.
