  • the key stem 65 is biased to a normal upper position by means of a spring 72.
  • Pivotally mounted along the rearward edge of key stem 65 is a trip pawl 73 which is rotatably biased by a suitable spring 74 to a normal counterclockwise position as determined by engagement of the offset pawl shoulder 75 with the rearward edge of the key stem.
  • a laterally projecting stud 76 Fixed to the lower end of the pawl'is a laterally projecting stud 76 which overlies the upper edge of a forwardly and downwardly extending arm 80 integrally formed on said latch 65.
  • cam track 42 also serves to permit the effective resetting of the latch 60, i.e. during the latter portion of the single revolution of cam 4t) the resulting clockwiseV pivotal movement of follower arm 43 swings the integral upstanding arm 46 into the FG. 1 position so that latch spring 63 Vmay reset latch shoulder 61 again into defending engagement with the rearward edgeof said arm 46.
  • the follower roller 45 is 'prevented from swinging radially inwardly in the cam track-42 at the end of a'cycle thereby limiting the cyclic rotation of cam 40 to just one revolution.
  • the arrangement of the pawl 73, the latch 60 and lever 52 is such that a repeat cycle of the machine will not occur even though the key 64 is held in the depressed condition. It will be noted here that the forward edge 83 of the lever 52 is normally disposed just to the rear of the said stud 76 fixed to the lower end of the trip pawl 73. After the key 64 has been depressed and an yoperative machine cycle initiated theswitch closing counterclockwise movement of lever 52 will cause the rearward lever edge 83 to engage the pawl stud 76 and swing the pawl in a clockwise direction so that said pawl stud slides offv the upper edge of the latch arm 80, as shown in FIG.
  • the abovek described apparatus essentially constitutes the structural and functional environment in which the instant invention is to be couched and it is to be understood that this structural and/ or functional environment may be afforded by any other suitable or equivalent means.
  • the useful life of the disposable ink rollk 15 is measured by the number of printing cycles which may be properly serviced by the ink roll after which the machine must be automatically effectively locked up so as to prevent the production of any subsequent print work that might be substandard.
  • thefollowing structural arrangements are provided.
  • First a counter is provided for continually4 recording the number of cycles performed by the machine. This counter, which is generally illustrated at 100, FIGS. 2 and 3, is operated by the slide 23, FIG. 2 which oscillatably drives the ink roll 15.
  • the counter drive take off comprises a v ratchet pawl 101 FIG. 2 which is pivotally mounted on said slide 23 by means of a stud 102 and which is rotatably biased by means of a spring 103 into engagement with a bent oif ear 104 formed on the slide.
  • the nose of pawl 101 is adapted to engage a counter input ratchet wheel 105 which is rotatably secured to a tubular stud shaft 106.
  • the ratchet wheel 105 is adapted to be yieldably rotatably detented in a plurality of successive angular positions by means of a flexible spring arm A107, FIGS. l andk 3, one end of which engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel 105 and the other end of which is secured to the-machine frame.
