Patent number: 3998312Abstract: A printing or stamping device for marking checks and similar documents comprises a rotatable type ring having a plurality of types around its periphery and a keyboard having a plurality of manual key-switches each corresponding to one type on the type ring. An angular position detector detects the angular position of the type ring and includes a coded disc which rotates in synchronism with the type ring and develops successive position signals indicative of the successive angular positions of the type ring. Control circuitry including a memory stores data typed-in on the keyboard and transmits successive typed-in signals to a coincidence detector which detects the coincidence of a typed-in signal and the corresponding position signal and provides a coincident signal. The coincident signal activates a stopper mechanism to stop the rotation of the type ring at a position where the typed-in type faces the check.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1974Date of Patent: December 21, 1976Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Daini SeikoshaInventors: Yukio Fujimi, Akihiro Miwa
