6 Claims. 1
This invention relates to marking tools. Among the objects of the inventionis to provide a tool for marking upon a strip and for punching holes in the strip without removing the strip from the tool.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hand-operable instrument havingpivoted handles and marking and punching devices which are operable through force derived by the movement ofthe handles and wherein means are provided for selectively marking or punching a hole in a strip by eliminating either the marking device or the punching device from functional co-operation with the handles so that either a marking or punching operation may be performed when the handles of the instrument are moved with respect to each other.
In its commercial application, lthe invention is vconcerned with supplementing the markingtool described in United States Patent 2,275,670 to extend the usefulness of 'that too-l. In the tool of the patent means are provided for feeding a metallic strip step by step 'as characters are successively embossed lon the strip. The marked strip obtained by the use of the tool is commonly 'employed for identification purposes, but when it is necessary toprovide holes in the strip t enable its attachment to an object, it is necessary to use a separate tool for punching the holes. The present invention provides punching mechanism in combination with the marking device of the tool whereby holes may be punched in the strip of metal, as desired.
'Other features vand 'advantages of the present invention will be described in the accompanying speciiication and claims with reference to the drawings in which a machine embodying the principle of my invention is illustrated.
'In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a plan of the tool showing my improvement;
Fig. 2'is a side view ofthe tool shown Vin Fig. l;
Fig. 3is an end view of the tool shown in Figs, l and2;
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on line 4-4 of acover :I5 whichzis 'pivotally attached tothe body .member by a screwI I6. Ari-operating handle I'l ,is pivotally connected to the body member IG by means of a pivot pin I 8 which extends through a narrowed portion I9 of handle I1 and through lugs 2i] and 2| lwhich are integral portions o'f body member I0.
The portion of the bodyrmember Hl Vfacinghan dle Il is hollowed between '.anges v22 and 23 which extend the greater 'length of member Ill. The ilanges are grooved at 214 and 25, Fig. 7, for guiding the strip I4 as it is advanced from the vmagazine to the frontend of the tool.
The strip of metal I4 is fed'forwardly'between a resilient roll 26 and a bracket v21 which is-attached to the body member Il] by means of fa screw 28. Roll 26 is tightly mounted on a shaft`29 which carries a thumb wheel 3l! and a ratchet wheel 3 I. Ratchet wheel -3 I 'is ynormally engaged by a pawl 32 which is resiliently pressed into contact with the ratchet wheel by means of atorsion spring -33 having one end 34 engaging the back edge of the pawl and its other end 35 anchored in handle I1. rPhe torsion Yspring is coiled about a pin 36 which is threaded at its endend engaged in handle I'l. The construction and arrangement is such that when handle I1 is advanced towards bodymember I!) as the handle pivots about pin I8, pawl v3.2 will slip idly over a tooth of ratchet Wheel 3|. Upon release of the Yhandle I7, pawl 32 will actuate ratchet wheel 3l and feed roll 26 one step and cause advancement of strip I4 towards the front end o-f the tool. The en'ds of shaft 29 are journalled in outside anges 31 and 38 of member-I I).
Pawl 32 is'provided' with an ear 39 by which the pawl may be held retracted and away from engagement with the ratchet Wheel. When the pawl is disengaged from the ratchet wheel by ringer pressure `on ear 3B, the strip I4 maybe moved forwardly and rearwardly along the tool by operating thumb wheel 30. The advantage of this control over the position of the strip will appear hereinafter.
A spring 40, Fig. 4, normally holds handle I1 away from body member III. This spring'is located over a projection 4I on handle I'l and'over a projection 42 which extends downwardly from a shelf-like plate43. Plate 43 is iixedly attached to body member IIJ by screws 44 and 45, Fig. 4, and by a central pivot screw 45, Fig. 6. Screws 44 and 45 are engaged in flange 23 of body member IU and pivot screw 46 is supported from a ledge 41 which is integral with and extends laterally from the body member.
The maximum distance of separation of handle I"I and body member II] is attained through a link 48. This link is pivotally supportedonshaft 2,9 and has an elongated opening 49 at its lower end which is engaged by the shank of screw 35 carried by .handle Il'.
The ledge 4l and plate 43 serve as -a rigid support for the turntable embossing unit. As
shown in Fig. 6, this unit includes a top plate 50 with a series of intaglio dies 5I arranged circularly at its under surface and a exible disk 52 having radial slots whereby flexible teeth 53 are provided which can be bent independently of each other. These teeth have raised die portions 54 at their free ends which selectively cooperate with the intaglio dies during an embossing operation. A spacing plate 55 separates the upper and lower die plates and is joined thereto by rivets 56, Fig. 6, so as to form a single unit rotatable about screw 46. The upper die plate 50 has on its upper surface a series of characters 51, Fig. 1, for aid in selecting any pair of character dies. The edge of the upper die plate has notches 58 equal in number to the number of characters. The various embossing positions of the embossing unit are determined by a detent spring 59 which is adapted to serially engage the notches as the unit is rotated for selection of a marking character. This detent spring is fastened to the body member I by means of a screw 60 and serves to locate the embossing unit ln any selected position. Ledge 41 is provided with an index 6I, Fig. l, pointing towards an opening 62 through which may be viewed the character of the embossing unit which is in position for embossing the strip I4.
The embossing operation is performed by the forceful application of a plunger 64 to the under die 54 of the pair of dies which is in embossing position, Fig. 6. The top of the plunger has a tapered anvil which engages the under side of a die 54. This plunger is mounted for reciprocation in a sleeve 65 depending from plate 43.
Plunger 64 is resiliently held in retracted position by a forked spring 66, which engages opposite ends of a pin 68 extending through the plunger. The pin is guided in slots 69 and 10 at either side of the sleeve.V When the operating parts of the tool are arranged to perform a punching operation, the plunger is supported in its sleeve by a second forked spring B1. Forked springs 66 and 61 are bent upwardly and have holes at their supported ends which are engaged by projection 42 at the lowerside of plate 43. The supported ends of the springs are held against plate 43 by spring 40. The forked ends of the springs overlie and underlie pin 68 so .that the lower spring supports the plunger and the upper spring restores the plunger to its normal position, Figs. 4 and 6, following an embossing operation.
A displaceable element 1I underlies the lower end of plunger 64 whereby the movement of the handle I1 towards the body member is transmitted to the plunger during an embossing operation. Whereas an integral projection from handle I1 may be used to engage the lower surface of the displaceable element 1I, I prefer to employ an adjustable screw 12 mounted in a threaded bore in the handle. This screw serves as a projection from handle I1. The screw is fixed by a locking screw 13 after its position has been determined.
Displaceable element 1I is xedly mounted upon a rod 14 which is slidable through openings in the side walls of handle I1. The position of the rod controls and determines whether an embossing or punching operation will occur when the handles are pivoted with respect to each other. A spring 15, Fig. 5, normally holds the rod in such a position as to locate the dis.- placeable element between screw 12 and the lower end of plunger 64. So long as the displaceable element is held in this position, plunger 64 will be actuated to cause an embossing operation each time the handles of the instrument are squeezed together. By displacing rod 14 axially of itself, element 1I is moved from its normal position to a location 11, Fig. 6, so that if the instrument handles are operated with the element so displaced, there will be no pressure brought to bear upon the lower end of the plunger 64 and no embossing operation will take place. The displaceable element 1I has a rounded nose or wedge so that it will readily enter between the plunger and screw 12 when it returns to its normal position under the action of spring 15 when pressure upon rod 14 is released.
Upon each operation of the handles towards each other, with wedge 1I underlying the plunger, selected characters will be embossed upon the strip and successive embossings will be applied to the strip in spaced relation along the strip. As previously explained, the strip is advanced on each release of the handle I1.
The forward end of the strip may be observed through windows 18, Figs. 1 and 4. The strip may be punched anywhere along its length by locating the place on the strip for perforation between punch and die 6I which are located at the front end of the body member I0.
The punch is mounted in a vertical bore in the nose 82 of body member IIl immediately above the steel rod 8l in which the die hole is drilled. This steel rod extends between lugs 20 and 2I which depend from body member I0. The punch is normally held in an elevated position by a spring 83 having its lower end fastened to the memberl I6 by a screw 84. The upper end 85 of the spring is forked for engaging a groove 86 at the upper end of the punch.
The punch is operated through a lever 88 which is, pivotally connected by a screw 89 to the body member I0 and has a lateral projection 90 overlying the upper end of the punch. This lever has extending laterally therefrom a pin 9 I, Fig. 4, which abuts lug 2| for limiting the clockwise movement of the lever about pivot screw 89, Fig. 4. The rear arm 92 of the lever is shaped to extend just above the hole in the wall of handle I1 in which rod 14 is supported, so that the end of the rod may be projected outwardly from the wall whenever the handles are in open position, as shown in Fig. 4, but not after movement of the handles has commenced.
Lever 88 may -be swung in a. counterclockwise direction, Fig. 4, only when rod 14 is moved axially of itself and its end 93 projects beyond the side wall of handle I1, but when the rod is retracted and the handles are squeezed together, the lever will not be moved. It follows, therefore, that during embossing operations, the punch will not be operated, and that when it is desired to punch a hole, rod 14 must be displaced axially by pressure upon its end 16 whereby the other end 93 of the rod is disposed beneath lthe lower edge of lever 88 so that upon movement of handle I1, force will be transmitted to the lever through the rod and' a punching operation will occur. Spring 83 serves to elevate the punch to its normal position and rotate lever 88 clockwise, Fig. 4, as
:the handles are separated following a punching operation.
The strip will not be advanced during the punching of a hole, but will be advanced one step following the punching operation when Ahandle I1 moves away from body member I0 and the feed roll is actuated by pawl 32 and ratchet wheel 3l. However, any desired location of a hole in the strip lll may be had by moving the strip in either'directionunder the control of the thumb wheel 30, but when retracting the strip into the tool it is necessary to release pawl 32 from engagement with ratchet wheel 3l. It likewise is possible to sever the strip at any desired point by similarly controlling the position of the strip with respect to the tool.
The shearing means includes a iixed shear plate Elfi, which is fastened to the nose 92 of the body member by means 0f screws 95 and 96, and a lever 91 bearing a knife 93 which is pivotally mounted upon screw 95 and may be brought to bear against the lower side of the strip i4 for shearing the strip between the blade and the shear plate. Normally the blade is disposed away from the shear plate, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to permit the free passage of strip I4 from the end of the tool.
What is claimed is:
1. In a machine of the character described, the combination comprising a pair of pivotally connected hand-operable members, dies carried by one of said members, a punch carried by said first-named member, means for actuating a pair of said dies when said members are pivoted, means for actuating said punch when said members are pivoted, and means carried by the other of said pivoted members for selectively transmitting force therefrom to said punch-actuating means and to said die-actuating means, said lastnamed means being positionable for causing one or the other of the actuating operations depending on its position relative to said die-actuating and punch-actuating means when said handoperable members are pivoted..
