I IMPRINTING APBARATUS Filed July 15, 1942 4 Sheets-Sheet 4 R .mE 3% W cm m wm Patented Jan. 29, 1946 Albert W. Metzncr ter Company, Ohio and Ardath A. Gopperton, Dayton, Ohio, assignors to The Standard Regis- Dayton, Ohio, a corporation of Application July 15, 1942, Serial No. 451,030 17 Claims. (Cl. 101-373) This invention pertains to printing apparatus, and more particularly to a changeable roll for imprinting headings and optionally spaced down rules at successive spaced intervals upon strips of continuous series connected detachable form stationery.
It is customary commercial practice to employ preprinted record forms for bills, statements, invoices, stock sheets, and other records which involve tabulation of amounts or arrangement of indicia in columns. Ordinarily continuous form stationery is printed and folded upon cylinder presses which require considerable time for composition or stting" of the forms and for make ready," and hence such printing methods are not economical for small quantities of stationery supplies. v
The spacing of transverse line ruling as employed upon such stationery is arbitrarily determined by the line spacing operations of the writing machine in which the stationery is to be inscribed .and with which the horizontal line rulings must agree. The vertical rulings defining columnar spaces are optionally disposed, and differ in location and spaced relation for different purposes. Likewise, printed headings for the defined columns may vary widely, as do also identification headings of the record sheets.
In the present invention it is contemplated that stock stationery in large quantities may be preprinted with horizontal line rulings'and simul-.
taneously marginally punched, if to be used with pin type feeding devices, or provided with punched file holes, and may be zigzag folded all in continuous operation. Subsequently, smaller quantities of such preprinted stock material may be reprinted by the hereindescribed printing roll to. individualize the stationery by imprinting relatively spaced down rules at predetermined intervals to define columns-for specific purposes which may be optionally positioned and may vary greatly on different lots of reprinted stationery, and by inserting headings intermediate succeeding preprinted areas and also column headings in agreement with the optionally positioned vertical line rulings. It is, however, unnecessary that the stock material be preprinted. Plain, blank strip material, either punched or unpunched, may receive the imprinted headings and vertical line rules from the present printing roll.
In the present instance there are employed a series of segmental line rule members which are interchangeably positioned in relatively spaced relation upon a supporting arbor with intermediate spacing discs therebetween. The spacer discs are adapted to interchangeably receive printing type for imprinting headings. The column rule segments are rotatively adjustable relative to the spacer discs and other segments into alternate positions to longitudinally oifset the ends of different ruled lines. The object of the invention is to improve the construction, as well as the means and mode of assembly of printing rolls, whereby they may not only be economically manufactured, but will enable ready and quick reassembly into various combinations and spacings of line rules and headings.
A further and important object of the inven-' tion is to provide a method and device for imprinting line rule columns upon record material at optionally selective positions.-
.A further object of the invention is to provide improved locking means for securing the interchangeable elements of the present printing roll in their assembled relation.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved method of producing a wide variety of printed forms of different design at minimum cost.
.A further object of the invention is to enable the economical production of relatively small quantities of printed forms.
A further object of the invention is to provide a printing roll having the advantageous structural features and inherent meritorious characteristics, the method of assembly of such roll, and the mode of simplifying the production of printed forms herein set forth,
With the above primary and other incidental objects in view as will more fully appear in the specification, the invention intended to be protected by Letters Patent consists of the features of construction, the parts and combinations thereof, and the mode of operation, or their equivalents, as hereinafter described or illustrated inthe accompanying drawings.

The printing roll assembly forming the sub-- ject matter hereof is primarily intended for production of continuous form stationery for use in International Business Machines tabulators or Powers tabulators, but may be used in production of printed forms for other uses, as in typewriters, billing and addressing machines, and even for hand written records. 7
The stock material for printed form stationery comprises continuous strips of material transversely scored at longitudinally spaced intervals to afford weakened division lines upon which the strip is divisible after inscription into individual sheets a, Fig. 24. The strips may be punched at prescribed intervals as at b-b, Fig. 24, for engagement of pin type feeding devices, or at 0-0, Fig. 24, .to provide file holes in successive separable sheets a. The stock strip may be entirely blank or may have'thereon preprinted horizontal spaced lines d. The present printing roll is adapted to imprint upon each sheet section of the continuous stock strips relatively spaced vertical line rules e--e at optionally selected spaced positions, to define columns and to concurrently imprint column headings J--f and sheet identification headings g. By relative rotative adjustment of the rule segments, certain of the vertical rule lines e--e may be longitudinally offset a limited -distance in relation to other vertical line rules, as indicated at h and h, Fig. 24.
Referring to the drawings, l-l indicates portions of the printing press frame in which is journaledthe printing roll haft or arbor 2, upon which are aranged side by side a succession of spacer discs 3-3 and interposed line rule segments 4-4. Such assembly is well illustrated in Figs. 1 and 10. The spacer discs 3 are keyed upon the shaft or arbor 2 for unison rotation, but are free for limited axial shifting movement thereon, one relative to the other. A relative short segment of the periphery of each spacer disc 3 contains a plurality of undercut notches 5-5 to receive interchangeable type members 5. The type members are laterally notched, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 19 and 20, to slldingly engage in the laterally recessed notches 5. The notches 5 of each disc 3 register with those of the adjacent assembled discs to thereby form continuous undercut type channels or slots disposed longitudinally throughout the assembly. There may be as many peripherally spaced type channels as found necessary.
Each spacer and type disc 3 has on one'side a raised, or relief, panel I, which surrounds the concentric shaft opening and extends thence radially to the periphery of the disc. The projection of such relief panel I beyond the lateral face of the disc 3 is quite shallow, as indicated in Fig. 7, and is not greater than the thickness of the rule segments 4, but preferably slightly less than such dimension. Each spacer and type disc3 has therein a concentric arcuate slot 8, the end of which intersects the relief panel I, which receives a. locking rod 9.
The line rule segments 4 are of somewhat greater diameter than the discs 3, beyond which their margins extend into peripheral agreement with the faces of the printing type 6 carried by the spacer discs 3. Each rule segment lhas therein a substantially sector shaped slot or recess I0, the inner extremity of which is concentric with and proportioned to fit about the concentric inner end of the projecting relief panel I of an associated disc. The recess or slot 10 of the rule segments is somewhat wider than the panel 1 against the lateral shoulders of which the inner margins ll] of the segment slot alternately engage to limit relative rotative adjustment of the segment and disc. It is by such adjustment that certain vertical rules e of the printed form a are longitudinally offset at h and h.
One side of the recess or slot I0 is provided with an arcuate indentation II which overlies the arcuate slot 8 of the associated disc 3. The discs 3 being loose on the shaft or arbor 2 for limited lateral adjustment. the laterally open recesses 10 in the line rule sectors 4 enable such sectors to be slidingly inserted in selected positions between any two'adjacent spacer discs 3 into straddle relation with the raised panel 1.
. In final adjusted relation the line rule segments the standard lineal spacing of charactersand figures inscribed by conventional writing or im- :printing machines. The customary lineal character spacing is five thirty-seconds of an inch. Thus, the width of columns defined by spaced .down rules e--e printed by the segments 4 on the record material are in each instance a multiple of the conventional writing machine character space. By inserting the line rule segments.
between selected spacer discs, the widths of the imprinted column lines may be varied to accommodate many or only a few indicia or characters in succeeding lines, and the spacing between columns may be likewise varied, also in multiples of indicia character spaces.
After being inserted between adjacent discs the rule segments may be individually rotatively adjusted, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3; to cause the imprinted down rules to start higher or lower on the printed forms in relation to the. imprinted heading. The offset or line terminal variation is limited by the engagement of one side or the other of the segment apertures ill with the marginal shoulder of the raised panel 1 of the adjacent spacer disc.
One margin of the indentation II in the line rule segment recess I is formed with adjacent arcuate configurations II which slightly overlap the slot 8 of the spacer disc. The locking rod 3 which extends through the registerin arcuate slots 8 of the disc 3 also extends through the lateral indentations II of the interposed line rule segments." The locking rod 9 is flattened on one side, and is engageable in one or the other of the arcuate configurations ll of the line rule segments 4 by initial rotative adjustment of the segments followed by partial rotation of the rod, to lock the segments against rotation from their adjusted'position. The rule segments and the rod 9 are relatively adjustable only when the rodis partially rotated to present its flat side toward the-arcuate configurations l I of the segment. After oscillatory adjustment of selected segments 4 from the position shown in Fig. 2 to that of Fig. 3 or vice versa, the locking rod is partially rotated to turn the convex face of the rod into ,the corresponding indentations II. The spacer discs 3 and interposed line rule segments 4 are clamped in adjusted relation under axial compression between terminal thrust heads l2. One of the heads 12 is secured to the shaft 2 by a set screw l3. The other head [2 is axially adjustable under influence of a jamb nut l4 threaded on the shaft 2. The ends of the looking rods 9 project through slots 8' in the compression heads which correspond to the disc slots or out of locking engagement with the rod 9, as shown by solid and dotted lines in Fig. 4.
When it is desired to' disengage the segments entirely from the assembly, the lock rod 9 is first rotated and then shifted to the end of the slot 8.which intersects the panel I by oscillation of the arms IS. The line rule segments 4 may, at will, be transposed from one position to another and other segments may be inserted between adjacent discs or removed therefrom, and the assembled segments may be partially rotated from one position to another to vary the lateral and longitudnial relations of different downrule lines ee.
In Figs, 13 to 18 there is illustrated a different mode of locking the line rule segments 4 in their rotative ,positions of adjustment. spacer discs 3 are provided with key hole slots 23 which register with those of other discs. The line rule segments are of the same'general shape with the same recess or cutout H] as before. Instead of the indentation l I, each segment is provided with an opening 24 in .position to overlie the key hole slot 23 of the discs. The upper margin of the opening 24 is formed with two inverted V-shaped notches 25 side by side. Ex-
tending through the key hole slots 23 of the discs and the overlying openings 24 of the segments is a rock shaft 26 flattened on one side. Also disposed in parallel contactin relation with' the rock shaft 26 through the key hole slots 23' and openings 24 of the discs and segments respectively is a polygonal wedge bar 21, the upper side 21' of which is beveled to form an angular edge engageable alternately in one or the other of the'inverted V-shaped notches 25 according to the rotative position of the segment 4 relative to the discs 3.
B, and are engaged in oscillatory arms l6 j ournaled upon the shaft 2 beyond the terminal clamp heads [2. The swinging arms l6 carry helical springs [1 by which the rod 9 is held within the engaged indentations of the segments and chatter prevented. One extremity of the locking rod 9 is (provided with a knob. lit, by which the rod may be rotated into and out of its segment locking position. To maintain locking position of the rock rod 3 a collar [9 rotative on the shaft 2 carries a polygonal flange 20, one end 20' of which is'movable into and out of abutting Y relation with the fiat side of the rock' rod 9,
as shown by solid lines in Fig. 4 to temporarily prevent partial rotation thereof. v
The opposite side of the flange 20 carries a detent plunger 2| engageable alternately in spaced holes 22 in the corresponding clamp head l2 to secure the flange extremity 20 either in Thewedge bar 21 is bodily movable radially of the discs and segments within the narrow portion of the key hole slots 23 by the camming action of the flattened shaft 26 upon partial rotation thereof. The rock shaft is provided with a crank arm 28 at one end for manual adjustment. When the rock shaft is turned with its flat side contiguous to the V-shaped bar 21, as in Fig. 16, the latter is retractable out of engagement with either V notch 25 and the line rule segment is free for rotative adjustment from the relative position shown in Fig. 2 to that illustrated in Fig. 3, or vice versa. This adjustment, as before described,
enables corresponding down rules e--e of the mgly positioned V notch 25, as is shown in Fig. 15.
' To look the rock shaft in adjusted positioman oscillatory segment 29 on the shaft 2 may be turned into the path of the crank arm 28 to prevent return oscillation of the crank and shaft. The locking segment may be clamped in adjusted position by a set screw 30 positioned within a slot 3| in the locking segment and engaging in a boss on one of the terminal clamp heads l2 of the roll assembly, as shown in Fig. 1'7. A radial finger 32 affords convenient means for adjusting the locking segment into and'out of engagement with the crank arm 28.
In Figs. 19 to 23 there is shown a further means for locking the interposed line rule segments 4 in either of alternative rotative positions of adjustmentto effect longitudinally offset relation of different down rules e-e on the printed forms. Inthis embodiment the aperture [0 of the line The diate the pivoted arms 35 is a cam slide 31, the
tapered head of which is engageable between bearing lugs 38 of the arms to thereby spread the pivoted arms 35 upon depression of the slide. The cam slide 38 is longitudinally slotted and is guided by a pair of studs 39 carried by the spacer disc and projecting through the cam slide slot.
The line rule segments, as before described, are rotatively adjustable from the position shown in Fig. 19 to that shown in Fig. 20, and vice versa. To rotate the segments, the cam slide is withdrawn, as in Fig. 22, which permits the heads 35 of the arms 34 to swing inwardly out of engagement in the V-shaped indentations 33 and 33'. Upon adjustment of the line rule segments, the cam slide is thrust inwardly, thereby forcing the heads 35 of the swinging arms into locking engagement in the indentations 33-33. In one position of adjustment of the line rule segments, the locking arms 34 engage the outermost indentation 33 and innermost indentation 33, as in Fig. 19. In the alternative position of adjustment of the imprinting segments 4, the locking arms engage the innermost indentation 33 and outermost indentation 33', as shown in Fig. 20. When the cam slide 31 is thrust-inwardly to lock the arms 34 in the indentations 33-33' is 50 held by positioning a type member 6 in the peripheral notch of the spacer disc in overlying relation with the end of the cam slide, as shown in Figs. 19
and 20. The head of the cam slide 3? is marginally notched for engagement of a lifting tool which may be inserted within the restricted space for pulling the cam slide to release the locking arms.
The diameter and peripheral extent of the printing roll assembly are proportionate to the length of the forms to be imprinted thereby, so that ordinarily one form is imprinted at each complete rotation of the roller. However, for very short forms an additional group of type grooves or slots may be provided in the spacer discs as at 40 in Fig. 12, to receive a group of type for imprinting a second heading at each rotation of the printing roll. In such event, the line rule segment '4 is peripherally indented at 4| to interrupt the down rule lines coincident with such second heading. By this arrangement two complete form imprints are effected during each complete rotation of the roll assembly.
From the above description it will be apparent that there is thus provided a device of the character described possessing the particular features of advantagebefore enumerated as desirable, but
