Definitions

  • This-invention relates to stamping machines and according to the invention there is provided a stamping machine comprising a rotor having a stamping block rotatable therewith, a passage through which objects to be stamped can be moved into position for stamping by the stamping block, a stop supported for pivotal movement to and from a position at which it impedes the passage of an object through said passage, and restraining means cooperating with the stop to retain it in the passage impeding position thereof and with the rotor to restrain the rotor against rotation, said restraining means being arranged on movement of the stop by an object moving through the passage to release the rotor for rotation and to retain the stop in the path of the object until the rotor has performed a predetermined part of a revolution thereof.
  • FIG. 1 is a section on line II of FIG. 2 ing machine according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a section on line H-II of FIG. 1 when the machine is locked
  • FIG. 3 is a section similar to that of FIG, 2 when the machine is released
  • FIG. 4 is a section similar to that of FIG. 2 when the stamping machine is released and the through passage is clear,
  • FIG. 5 illustrates mechanism for with the owners key
  • FIG. 6 is a section on line VIVI of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 7 is a section on line VIIV]I of FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 8 shows a detail of control gear embodied in the machine
  • a bed 10 and a plate 11 define a passage 12 along which an object 13 to be stamped is passed to the stamping apparatus.
  • the passage 12 is blocked by a stop 16 pivotally mounted in walls 14 and 15.
  • the object 13 to be stamped is moved, FIG. 2, through the passage 12 it engages the lower portion of the stop 16 and turns it about its pivots 17 in a counter-clockwise direction.
  • a control slide 20 supported by bolts 18 and 19 is moved to the left as viewed in FIG. 2, by a finger 16' formed on the stop 16 until the control slide 20 is engaged with the nose 21 of a lever 22, FIG. 3.
  • the lever 22 carries a pressure roller 23, rotatable with a spindle 24.
  • a spring 25 presses the nose 21 of the lever 22 against a cam disc 27 secured to a rotor 26.
  • a control pawl 29 is urged by a spring 28 against a first shoulder 30 on the control slide 20 when the machine is in the starting condition thereof.
  • the control slide 20 is moved by the stop 16
  • the control pawl 29 is moved downwards from the first shoulder 30 on to a second shoulder 31 on the control slide 20.
  • This downward movement of the control pawl 29 releases a locking member 33 provided on a locking rod 32, by permitting movement of the member 33 to the right as viewed in FIG. 1, thereby releasing the stamping machine for operation as described below.
  • the rotor 26 which is rotatable in bearings 34, 35, FIG, 1, may be rotated by means of a hand crank or electric motor, not shown.
  • the nose 21 of lever 22 comes to rest on the descending curved portion of the cam disc 27 and the lever 22 is rotated by the spring 25 until a tail 37 on the lever 22 engages the lower end of the stop 16 and turns it so that it no longer impedes the passage 12.
  • the control slide 20 is moved further to the left, as viewed in FIG.
  • a stamping block which in the form illustrated in FIG. 7 consists of three adjustable figure-bearing discs 40, runs past a color unit 41 and, as it passes the pressure roller 23, applies an impression to the object 13.
  • the release mechanism can be returned to the starting position.
  • the rotor 26 is provided with a control gear 42 which includes an axially directed ramp 43 and a radially directed ramp 44.
  • the axially directed ramp 43 engages the locking member 33 and moves it to the left as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, so that the compression spring 45 arranged between the member 33 and the locking rod 32 is compressed.
  • the radially directed ramp 44 engages a projection 46 on the control pawl 29 and raises the pawl 29 from the control slide 20, whereupon the nose 21 of lever 22 is pressed downwards by the rising curved portion 47 of the cam disc 27, the effect of which is to cause the stop 16 to return gravitationally to the position thereof shown in FIG.
  • the stop 16 cannot return to the starting position thereof as above described.
  • the stop 16 is provided with an arm 49, FIG. 1, projecting beyond the housing of the machine and making it possible manually to release the stop 16.
  • the control slide 20 is rotated about the axes of the bolts 18 and 19 in a clockwise direction until the upper edge of the stop 16 comes to rest behind a projection 50 on the control slide, and a spring 51 then returns the control slide 20 to the starting position thereof.
  • the figure discs 40 (FIG. 7) of the stamping block can be adjusted, in known manner, by means of adjusting rings 52 (FIGS. 1 and 6) co-operating with toothed wheels 53, the internal gearing of the figure dials 54, the bevel gears 55, pinions 57 meshing with racks 56, and the intermediate gear wheels 58.
  • the adjusting rings 52 have peripheral notches 59 into which engages a roller 62 carried by a stop lever 61 actuated by a spring 6%). To adjust a figure disc 40, this adjusting ring 52 is rotated by the handle 63, whereby the roller 62 snaps from one notch 59 into another one.
  • the stop lever 61 When the roller 62 slides over a notch 59, the stop lever 61 is turned about the pivot 64 in a clockwise direction. With the stop lever 61 performing this turning motion, the roller 62 can fall into one'of the spaces 65 provided on the locking rod 32 when the machine is in the starting position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the locking rod 32 carrying the locking member 33 is connected permanently to an arm 66 which is supported for movement axially of the rotor and is engaged in a slot 68 provided on a coupling rod 67 movable with the rotor and axially relative thereto.
  • This joining of the locking rod 32 to the coupling rod 67 has the effect of enabling both these rods to be displaced longitudinally only at the same time.
  • the toothed wheels 53 arranged on the coupling rod 67 engage with the internal gearing of the adjusting rings 52 and the figure discs 54.
  • the left end of the coupling rod 67 reaches into a bore 69 provided in a bearing 68 and retains the rotor 26 in its rest and starting position.
  • the control pawl 29 releases the locking member 33, as described above, whereupon the compression spring 45 relaxes.
  • a compression spring 71, FIG. 1, arranged between the wall 70 and the arm 66, can now move the locking rod 32 and the coupling rod 67 to the right and up to the stop 72, so that the stop levers 61 are locked in starting positions.
  • the locking rod 32 is in this position, the adjusting ring 52 cannot be shifted any more.
  • the coupling rod 67 has left the bore 69, and the toothed wheels 53 mesh with the conically tapered ends 73 of the pinions 57.
  • the compression spring 45 is compressed during the last part of the rotary movement of the rotor 26.
  • the locking rod 32 and the coupling rod 67 are returned to the starting position by the operation of the spring 45.
  • the coupling rod 67 moves into the bore 69, the rotor 26 is locked and cannot rotate and the appliance for adjusting the figure disc 40 is again connected with the coupling wheels 53.
  • the stop levers 61 are also set free once again.
  • the device shown in FIG. is provided for locking up the stamping machine.
  • an element 77 is moved into the position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 5.
  • a slotted portion 78 thereof faces the control slide 20, so that the upper edge 79, FIG. 1, of the control slide may enter the slotted portion 78 on the stamping machine being released, as may be seen in FIGS. 3, 4, 5.
  • the element 77 moves to the right into the position shown in dots and dashes, in which position the control slide 20 can no longer enter the slotted portion 78.
  • the control slide 20 now engages the element 77 and is locked by it in its starting position.
