Further, a stamper operating cam 50, which is an eccentric cam located outside the frame side plate 2 and inside the belt 26, is integrally fitted to the swing shaft 3, and the rotation of the stamper operating cam 50 causes the stamper to be moved through the link mechanism 51. The camshaft 4 is driven to swing.

In the link mechanism 51, as shown in FIG.
is pivotally supported on the main link 55 via a pin 54, and the release lever 53 is biased counterclockwise in FIGS. 17 and 18 to release the stopper 5.
A spring 57 is tensioned between the release lever 53 and the main link 55 so that the release lever 53 and the main link 55 collide with each other.
5 and a bell crank 61 integrated with the stamper camshaft 4 are connected by a rod 59, and the bellcrank 61 and the frame side plate 2 are connected so that the stamper camshaft 4 is oscillated counterclockwise in FIG. A return spring 60 is tensioned between the two.

Further, a push-up cam 62 is integrally fitted to the stamper cam shaft 4, and a support lever 64, which rotatably supports a rubber stamper roller 63 as a push roll at its tip, is pivotally supported to be able to swing up and down. The cam follower 65, which is pivotally attached to the rotating shaft of the stamper roller 63, is in contact with the push-up cam 62, and in the state shown in FIG.
3 is positioned downward, but when the stamper cam shaft 4 is swung clockwise by pressing the cam ridge of the stamper operating cam 50 against the roller 52, the cam ridge of the push-up cam 62 causes the stamper roller 63 to move downward.
is being pushed upwards.

A regular pentagonal switching data stamp main body 66 is provided adjacent to the data stamp main body 9, and is rotatably fixed by 72 degrees with respect to the swing axis 3 as necessary.
Other data markings as required are now performed.

Since the automatic printing device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings is configured as described above, when the lateral movement motor (not shown) is properly reversed and then stopped, the data stamp main body 9 is The data stamp main body is guided and supported by the swing shaft 3, and the copy paper 0
is set appropriately on the printing position in the width direction.

The copy paper 0 that has been copied reaches the automatic printing device 1 and passes below the data stamp main body section 9.
When it is detected that the copy paper 0 has reached just before the print position in the paper feeding direction and the latch 30 is released, the rotational force of the drive shaft 24 is applied to the pulley 25 and the belt 2.
6. It is transmitted to the pulley 33 via the idler pulley 28, spring clutch 29, idler shaft 27, pulley 31 and belt 32, and the pulley 33 is rotated clockwise in FIG.

Then, the pin 35 of the pulley 33 immediately engages with the latch 37, and the clutch plate 36 rotates clockwise in FIGS. The data stamp body 9 is swung counterclockwise from the angular position shown in FIG. 3.

Then, just before the stamp 20 of the data stamp main body 9 approaches the copy paper 0, the first
7 to 18, the cam ridge of the stamper operation cam 50 rotating in the direction of the hour hand contacts the roller 52, the release lever 53 is pushed to the left while being locked by the stopper 56, and the main link 55 is moved by the support pin 58. The bell crank 61, stamper cam shaft 4, and push-up cam 62 are rotated counterclockwise via the rod 59, and the push-up cam 62 is rotated clockwise in FIG. The stamper roller 63 is pushed upward.

Therefore, the pushing up of the stamper roller 63 and the swinging movement toward the data stamp main body 9 are synchronized, the copy paper 0 is clamped and pressed by both, and the stamp 20 of the data stamp main body 9 is pressed against the surface of the copy paper 0. , the required printing is performed on the surface of copy paper 0.

Then, when the swing axis 3 swings 160 to 165 degrees,
The rear part of the latch 37 is brought into contact with the roller 42 of the adjustment shaft 41, and the latch 37 is removed from the pin 35.
Since the transmission of rotational force from the pulley 33 to the swing shaft 3 is cut off, the coil spring 4 of the double-acting device 45
The spring force 9 causes the pivot shaft 3 to rotate in the opposite direction via the rotary coupling 47, and at the same time the data stamp body 9 is automatically returned to the position shown in FIG.

In this case, the roller 52 that has passed over the cam crest of the stamper operating cam 50 is pushed again by the cam ridge of the stamper operating cam 50, which is reversed at the same time as the above-mentioned reversal of the swing shaft 3. 18, the release lever 53 can be swung clockwise, so the cam action of the stamper operation cam 50 is not transmitted to the stamper cam shaft 4, and the data stamp body 9 is printed. Stamper roller 63 lowered in termination extreme condition
Since the stamp 20 remains in the lowered position, the stamp 20 does not come into contact with the copy paper 0 when the data stamp main body 9 swings back, and the surface of the copy paper 0 due to contact with the stamp is not stained. is prevented.

Immediately after the pin 35 and latch 37 are disengaged, the latch 30 is engaged with the notch of the spring clutch 29 until the next printing command signal is sent and the latch 30 is released. , the data stamp main body 9 and the stamper roller 63 remain stopped at the solid line position in FIG.

Since the gear ratio of the rotational force transmission mechanism to the swing shaft 3 can be set in advance so that the circumferential speed of the stamp 20 at the tip of the data stamp main body 9 matches the transport speed of the copy paper 0, the transmission speed of the copy paper 0 can be set in advance. There is no relative misalignment between the stamp 20 and the stamp 20, clear printing can be obtained, and the transport speed of the copy paper 0 can be increased.

Further, since the data stamp main body 9 can be moved left and right along the swing shaft 3, the desired year, month, day, etc. can be printed at the desired widthwise position of the copy sheet 0.

Although the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and can be freely modified as necessary without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The design can be modified.
