No. 248,540 6 Claims. ((31. 101-93) This invention relates to a machine for applying a code marking to a record, and, more particularly, to control mechanism for a printing apparatus of the type wherein the marking operation occurs during a relative motion between the marking member and the record.
In a record marking machine such as a drum printer, for example, the mechanical operations are the limiting factors on the overall speed of operation. Since a decision must be made well in advance of the mechanical operation that the mechanical operation is to occur, it is advantageous to decide as late as possible within an operative cycle what mechanical operation is to occur and, once the decision is made, to provide means that are substantially instantly actuable to start the mechanical operation. For example, in a printing machine wherein the alternate quadrants of the type carrier have alphabetic and numeric data, it is desirable as the end of each quadrant of the type carrier passes the print station to decide whether the print line is complete and, if so, to start another print cycle by restoring the print hammers. To accomplish this purpose, it is necessary to have a device that is selectively actuable and also one that is substantially instantly actuable once a decision is made to start a new print cycle.
- Prior art devices use cams or cyclic arms which are not easily selectively actuable and which generally perform their cycles whether or not the restore cycles are actually needed. Other prior art devices use a spring urged restore mechanism which exerts no control over the velocities of the members thereby resulting in high impact loading of the mechanical components.
An object of the present invention, therefore, is to provide an improved high-speed record marking machine.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved restore mechanism for a high-speed record marking machine.
' A further object of the present invention is to provide a restore mechanism for a high-speed record marking machine which is selectively controllable by a low energy electric pulse.
A still further object of the present invention is to pro vide a restore mechanism which operates at high speed with minimum acceleration of mechanical parts.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a restore mechanism for a high-speed record marking machine capable of selectively actuating heavy and variable loading at high speed by means of a low energy electric pulse.
According to the invention the improved restore mechanism for a marking machine comprises control means ineffective for restoring a marking member when the elements of the control means are in contact with a cam means. When a holding means, such as an electromagnet, is rendered effective, one of the control elements is held in a position effectively disengaged from the rotating cam means in a motion transferring position so that, as the cam means rotates, the cam means will act through a cam following control element to move the marking member to a restored position.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the inventionwill be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
* United States Patent FIGURE 1 is a side view partially in cross section of a record marking machine embodying the invention, showing the restore mechanism in its selective position.
FIGURE 2 is a side view partially in cross section of a record marking machine embodying the invention, showing the restore mechanism in the operative position.
FIGURE 3 is a side view partially in cross section of a record marking machine embodying the invention, showing the restore mechanism in the ineffective position.
FIGURE 4 is a diagrammatic timing diagram showing the relative times at which various components may be actuated.
As shown in FIGURE 1, the improved record marking machine illustrated therein comprises briefly means designated generally 10 for actuating a movable member 12 to a restored position adjacent print magnet 14 wherein the movable member may be held and subsequently released to print on record 16 by forcing the record 16 and ribbon 18 into the selected type carrier 20. The control means is selectively actuated by holding means 22 in con junction with cam means 24. The operation of holding means 22 causes the control element 26 to be held in a position shown in FIGURE 1 so that, upon further rotation of the cam, the control element 26 is held from the cam following position and causes a wedge member 33 to be interposed between control elements 28 and 30 thereby transmitting motion of the cam to the movable member achieving a fully restored condition when the high point of cam 24 is adjacent member 28.
In the embodiment shown, cam means 24 is mounted on shaft 2 5 which is continuously rotated (by means not shown). The actuating means 10 comprises control elements 26, 28 and actuating member 30. Control element 26 is an L-shaped member mounted for pivotable movement about shaft 32. The element 26 is biased toward a cam following position by spring 34. On one end of element 26 is mounted a flexible support member 36 which is coupled to a wedge-shaped member 38. Control element 28 is mounted for pivotable movement about shaft 40 and is biased toward a cam engaging position by spring 42. Actuating element 30 is mounted for pivotable motion about shaft 40 and is biased to a position abutting stop 44- by spring 4-6. One end 48 of element 30 is cut at an angle so that it matches the angle of wedge member 38 when fully inserted between 28 and 30. The other end 50 of element 30 is mounted adjacent the marking member 12 and when the restore mechanism is actuated, the marking member 12 is moved from the position adjacent resilient stop 48 to the position adjacent print magnet 14. The wedge member 38 is mounted for slidable movement between control elements 28 and 30. When control element 26 is in the cam following position (FIGURE 3) and the cam high position is at control element 28, the element 30 is not moved to the restore position since the amount that control element 28 is moved to the right (FIGURE 3) is balanced by the amount that wedge member 33 is moved downward (FIGURE 3). The net resultant movement on member 39 is insuificient to restore member 12.
As shown in FIGURE 4,.the current to the winding 56 of holding means 22' is maintained until the high point of the cam again reaches the point adjacent core member 54 as shown in FIGURE 1. At this point, a new decision can be made for the next cycle of restore mechanism operation not to rest-ore during this cycle, theoperation is as shown in the full line of the second half of the diagram of FIG- URE 4. The rest-orev cycles-may have any desired timing relationship to the cycle for marking. :Forexample,in the case where a print drum is arranged-with alternate quadrants of alphabetic and numeric characters, the timing of the, restore mechanism may be chosen so that the marking members may be restored atthe'end of any of the. quadrants.
It can be seen that there is provided a mechanismf-or selectively actuating a restoremechanism for a marking machinewhich is substantially. instantly operable once the decision is made to restore, and cont-rolof the restore mechanism is accomplished by a low current control pulse.
and,.if it is desired to restore the marking memher, the conditions are as shown dotted. in the latter. half of the. diagram of FIGURE 4. Whereas, if it is desired;
While the invention has been particularly shown and 7 described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in the form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scopeof the invention.
