Definitions

  • This invention relates to an address plate comlprising a holder having mounted thereon an embossed printing plate.
  • the invention relates to such mutual formation of the frame and the printing plate as will enable the very ready installation or removal of the printing plate from the frame, but will result in the effective holding of the printing plate when in place.
  • I provide the frame with overhanging retaining ledges beneath which a printing plate may be slid, the frame having retaining means to coact with recesses inthe ends of the printing plate to properly center the printing plate, whereby such plate may be quite loose so far as the lips are concerned, and thus easily installed or removed, and still be accurately held against shifting in the plane of the plate by the end engagement.
  • I provide a stamped sheet metal frame which has one' edge curled over above the surface of the frame and has struckup lips also raised above the surface of the frame and projecting toward the curled-over edge, the curled-over edge and lips providing means for holding a loose embossed printing strip down on the frame; and I provide the frame also with a pair of tongues 'cut from the body of the frame and having upstanding abutments with projections toward each other,'these projections being adapted to engage notches formed in the end of the printing strip.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan of my address plate complete.
  • Fig. 2 is a fragmentary plan of a portion of the 5 plate with the printing member moved away from one end.
  • Fig. 3 is a transverse section lengthwise of the printing member on the line 3-3 in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a section at right angles to Fig. 3, as indicated by the line 4-4 on Fig. 1. y
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective of a portion of the address plate with the printing member mounted thereon.
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective of the address plate with the printingI member removed.
  • Fig. 7 is a fragmentary longitudinal section on the line 'I--1 on Fig. 5, showing the printing plate in place.
  • Fig. 8 is a section in the same plane, showing the plate in the act of being removed. 20
  • Figs. 9 and 10 are sections through the address plate and printing plate in place, 'taken on' the correspondingly numbered lines on Fig. 5.
  • the complete device often called an address plate, consists of the frame I0, and the embossed 25 printing plate 20 mounted thereon, though, if desired, the frame may carry also an index card shown in. Fig. 1 at 30.
  • the printing plate 20 is a strip of comparatively soft metal embossed with upwardly projecting printing characters 2 I. 'I'he longitudinal edges of the plate are preferably of a sinuous character as shown at 22 and in the extreme ends of the plate, adjacent the center of such ends, are located notches 24, preferably of rectangular form to present paral- 35 lel opposite edges.
  • the frame III as shown in the drawing, comprises a sheet metal memberhaving itsends bent beneath it and bowed to provide hollow supporting and stiening ribs II.
  • the top and bottom 40 edges I2 and I3 of the plate are curled over in a U-shape to lie above the plane of the plate, and the plate has a series of lips I4 struck up from the plate and projecting toward the curled edge I3.
  • the body of the pme, the curled-over 45 edge and the lips provide a guideway into which the printing plate 20 may be slid lengthwise of the plate.
  • I employ the 50 feature of abutments I5 made of the body of the frame and coacting with the opposite ends of the printing plate. These two abutments are duplicates in formation, and each isformed by an upward distortion of a portion of a spring 55 tongue I6 cut out of the 'body of the plate by means of an approximately U-shaped slit I1.
  • the central raised region has parallel opposite edges and the inner edges of the extreme regions are preferably also parallel with such central edges. This is effected by continuing the shearing region a short distance in opposite directions from the opposite ends of the transverse shear, which vdefines the portion
  • these portions I '.ia present two vertical edges which extend from a slight distance above the plane of the tongue I6 upwardly at right angles thereto for a height which is approximately the same as the thickness of the printing plate 20. These edges thus present abrupt shoulders engaging the end of the plate and preventing longitudinal shifting.
  • I8 likewise present abrupt shoulders, and these latter shoulders, by engaging the parallel walls portion of the printing plate overlapping thel abutment I5; then, by a slight pressure deprees the abutment, as is readily allowed by the cut- 'out spring tongue I6; he then shoves the printing plate lengthwise over the depressed abutment and into the guide provided by the plate edge I3 and lips I4 until the printing plate comes into its nal position, where it is stopped by abutting the edges I5a of the abutment toward which the plate was shoved.
  • the operator presses down one of the abutments I5, which may be veryi readily effected manually by pressure of the thumb against the abutment, and then gives a slight longitudinal movement to the printing plate to cause it to pass over the abutment.
  • the abutment is thus held down in idle ing plate may lt loosely enough beneath thecurled edge and lips so that it may be very easiLv inserted or removed.
  • Fig. 1 I have shown the top edge of the plate curled over at I2 to cooperate with lips, corner pocket, and end stops (all designated I2a) to retain the index card 30. But such features are optional.
  • An address plate comprising a frame having retaining devices to engage the side margins of a printing plate and having/a spring tongue provided with an abutment adapted to engage the end of such printing plate, rthe abutment having a portion connecting it with the tongue and an abrupt shoulder, combined with a printing plate adapted to coact with the retaining devices of the frame and having a recess in itsend adapted to receive the said connecting region of said abutment, while the abrupt shoulder of the abutment registers with the end of the printing plate.
  • a frame having a spring tongue formed of the material of the frame with a stamped-up end to form a lip, the raised portion being connected with the body of the tongue by an inclined central portion and being separated from the body on opposite sides of the central portion to provide abrupt shoulders, said frame being formed to carry a printing plate having a notch in its end adapted to receive the central connecting region of the abutment when the abrupt shouldersengage the end of the. plate.
  • An address plate comprising a frame having projecting overhanging' retaining devices beneath which a printing plate may be shoved, and having a spring tongue provldedwith an abutment adapted to engage the end of such printing plate, the abutment having a central portion connecting it with the tongue and abrupt shoulders at opposite sides of the central portion, combined with a printing plate adapted to be slid into place lengthwise beneath the 'overhanging portions of the frame and having a notch in its end adapted to receive the central connecting region of said abutment, while the abrupt shoulders of the abutment register with the end of the printing plate on opposite sides of the notch.
  • a frame having a spring tongue formed of theY material of the plate with a stamped-up end to form a lip, the raised portion being connected with the body of the tongue by an inclined central portion and being separated from the body on opposite sides of the central portion to provide A the extreme connecting regions of the raised porl tion of the tongue being beyond the abrupt shoulders.
  • a frame for carrying a printing plate having a notch in its end characterized in that the frame has a tongue with a raised portion presenting an abrupt shoulder adapted to engage the printing plate outside of the notch, said raised portion being connected with the tongue proper by a less abrupt portion adapted to enter the notch of the plate.
  • a frame for carrying a printing plate having a notch in its end characterized in that the frame has a tongue made out of the body of the frame and lying for the most part normally in the general plane of the frame, but with a raised portion adjacent its free end, said raised portion presenting a pair of abrupt shoulders adapted to engage the end of the plate on opposite sides of the notch, and an intermediate portion leading from the raised part in the direction away from the end of the tongue and gradually joining the body of the tongue and adapted to occupy the notchv in the end of the plate.
  • a frame having a spring tongue formed of the material of the frame with a stamped-up portion presenting two connected abutments having abrupt surfaces at right angles to each other, one of the surfaces being adapted to engage the end wall of a plate on the frame and the other a side wall of a notch in the end portion of such plate.
  • a metal frame having a spring tongue .formed of the metal of the frame and a stampedup end to form a lip, whereby the tongue may be manually depressed, said lip presenting an abrupty shoulder opposite the extreme end of a printing plate to be mounted on the frame, the lip being connected with the body of the tongue by a portion whose top surface gradually merges with the top of the tongue, but whose sides are' abrupt in a direction at right angles to the said abrupt surface of the lip.
  • a frame having a longitudinal guideway dened by upwardly projecting portions of the frame which have their edges projecting toward each other to provide a shallow channel into which a printing plate may be slid, spring abutments carried by the frame and positioned'to engage the opposite ends of such printing plate, each abutment being formed on the end of a tongue cut out of the frame and having its body normally lying in the plane of the frame and adapted to be beneath the printing plate, the abutment being pressed up from the plane of the tongue and having an abrupt shoulder adapted to engage the end of the printing plate, there being also a portion gradually connecting the abutment with the tongue and adapted to occupy a notch in the plate.
  • a frame for carrying a printing plate having a notch in its edge characterized in that the frame has a raised portion presenting an abrupt shoulder adapted to engage the printing plateoutside of the notch, there being also a raised portion of the material of the frame adapted to occupy said notch when the plate is engaging the abutment.
