Patented March 20, 1906.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that'I, DANIEL GERNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sign-Printers and Stencil-Cutters; and I do declarethe following to be a herein described and claimed.
" panying drawings, in which 'for this purpose.
The object of the invention is to proyide a simple, durable, and comparatively inexpensive mechanical device of this character which will be efiicient in operation'and well adapted for the purposes intended. v
The above and other objects, which will appear as the nature of my invention is better understood, are accomplished by means of the construction illustrated in the accom- Figure 1 is a plan view ofmy improved sign-printer and stencil-cutting device. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken on the line 2 2 in Fig; 1. v, Fig. "3 is a detail view showing the means for retainingthe carriage in an adjusted position. Fig. 4 is a detail .view showing the manner in which the printing orcutting blocks are mounted and adjusted; and Fig. 5 is a detail sectional vlew taken on the line 5 5 in Fig. 1, showing the inking device.
.Referring to the drawings by numeral, 1 i .denotes a suitable frame formed at its rear with longitudinally-extending guides 2, in
which is slidably mounted a reciprocating carriage 3. This carriage is preferably moved fromone end of the frame to the other the frame and a pulley or wheel 6 at the opposite end of the frame. Either of these pulleys 01 wheels may be rotated in any desired manner for'the purpose of reclprocating the carriage but I preferabl provide the axle or shaft of the wheel 6 wit a lever 7 A spacingmovement may be given to the carriage by providing the wheel 6 with an annular series of ratchetteeth 8, which are in the form of a crownwheel and which are engaged by a ratchet 9 as shown inf Figs. 1 and 3 of'the drawings. Upon the top of the carriage is provided a vertically-projecting stud 10, which forms the axis of a rotary impression-block carrier 11. The latter is in the form of a disk 12, se-
curedbetween top and bottom plates 13 14 and formed in its periphery with radially-extending slots 15, inwhich are mounted swinging arms or bars 16. The latter may be mounted and held in an elevated position in, any desired manner; but I preferably hinge or pivot them, as shown at 17, and retain them in an elevated position bysprings 18. Uponthe outer ends of these arms or bars 16 are adjustably mounted impressionblocks 20, bymeans of which the printing or cutting is done. As shown, these blocks are of enbical form and have upon four of their faces or sides suitable characters. mounted upon the bars or arms 16, as clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, by forming them with centrally-disposed openings to receive reduced ortions or rods 21 upon the bars 16, and thereby pivot them to permit any of their impression-faces to' be moved to an operative position. The blocks are retained in such position by forming in their inner ends recesses 22, which are adapted to receive locking-pins 23, carried by the arms 16. The'blocks' are adjusted by sliding them longitudinally upon the rods 21 until the pins v 23 are disengaged from one of the recesses 22 and then turning or rotating them to permit The blocks are.
the pins 23 to enter the desired recesses 22, so
that the desired character upon the block 20. will belowermost and in an operative posi tion. In' order to hold the blocks 20 in their locked position, coil-springs 23 are placed upon the outer ends of the rods 21 and confined between the ends of the blocks and heads 24, as shown. Theblocks 20 are also preferably provided at their outer ends with U-shaped finger pieces 25, by means of which they may be readily slid longitudinally and preferably by a coil-spring 29. Upon the outer end of the lever 26 is a finger piece or knob 30, by means of which the same may be readily operated. Upon the intermediate portion of the lever is a downwardly-projecting stop-arm 31, adapted to engage any one of the bars or rods 16 for the purpose of rotating the carrier 11 and bringing the desired block into position to be depressed. The paper or other material to be operated upon is retained in position by a bar 32, having a pin at either end to hold the paper in place. This bar is attached to two projections from the main frame by springs or hinges, so that it may be adjusted up or down, relieving the paper as desired.
Upon the carriage 3 is mounted an inking device for the die or type blocks 20. This device comprises a frame 40, formed with guide-grooves 41 to receive a sliding frame 43. The latter has a handle 44 at its outer end, and at its inner end is journaled a series of inking-rollers 45, which are adapted to be reciprocated by the sliding movement of said sliding frame across the characters upon the blocks 20 and above and in contact with an inking bed or platen 46, which is supported within the frame by springs, as clearly shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings.
When the machine is to be used for cutting .stencils of pasteboard or other suitable material, the blocks 20 will be provided with suitable cutting-dies. The pasteboard or other stencil material will be retained in position by the bar 32, as above described, and the bars or rods 16 will be operated by the lever, also as above described.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,
40 the construction and operation of the invenand the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a machine of the class described, the combination of a supporting-frame, a carriage slidably mounted on said frame, directionpulleys mounted on said frame on opposite sides of the carriage, one of said pulleys having a ratchet device, means whereby said pulley may be turned, a pawl to engage the ratchet device, and an endless belt secured to the carriage and engaging the said pulleys, substantially as described.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination of a swinging arm having a reduced outer portion, an impression-block of polygonal form in cross-section, slidably and rotatably mounted upon said reduced portions and having different characters uponits side faces, the inner end of said block being formed with a series of recesses corresponding in number to the number of side faces upon said block, a stop upon said arm, and a spring for holding said stop normally in engagement with one of said recesses.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesse's.
DANIEL GERNER.
