  • Patent number: 4270454
    Abstract: An inker wheel comprising a pair of axially mateable plastic molded discs defining a centrally apertured hub and a concentric annular channel mounting a flexible annular inking ring. One disc carries plural concentric rim pairs arranged to define the mounting channel when the discs are assembled. One rim of each pair is narrow to fix the channel width at one dimension to accommodate one width ring, the narrow rim being selectively removed if a second wider ring is to be accommodated. The pair of discs being selectively machinable to remove an outer portion thereof so that an inner pair of rims define the mounting channel for an inking ring of lesser, yet predetermined diameter can be accommodated. Grommet-plunger fasteners are provided to effect a releasable coupling. Thus a pair of molded members are provided for making at least four differently dimensioned inking wheels.

  • Patent number: 4234936
    Abstract: A memory and control device utilizes rotating cams for moving a positionable device, such as a power seat, to pre-set positions and selectively repositioning the device to such pre-set positions, and is also provided with a manual control means to position the seat in any selected orientation. A different motor is utilized for each of the three directions of actuation associated with the device, each of said motors being controlled by solenoid actuated contacts so that the high current required to operate the motors does not pass through switches operating the motors. The switches may be disposed in a control panel and may be actuated by finger depression of actuation areas positioned and marked to correspond to the desired positioning direction.

  • Patent number: 4207817
    Abstract: An inking wheel having a ring formed of firm inking material, said ring being mounted upon a hub by means of a concentric, radially yieldable support comprising a concentrically disposed coil spring, said concentric spring having a pair of outer coils supporting the ring and an inner lesser diameter coil adapted to be frictionally seated on the hub, the inner and outer coils joined integrally by a pair of bridging coils at opposite ends of the inner coil with the resilience being provided thereby.

  • Patent number: 4152980
    Abstract: A rotary imprinting device for imprinting information on articles passing successively spaced along a given path and including a frictionally driven imprinting wheel provided with a planetary repositioning mechanism for returning the wheel to its initiate condition after an imprint has been effected and the wheel is released from the article. The repositioning mechanism is adjustable to change the null conditions of the wheel relative to the given start condition thereof. A slot and key coupling is described between the drive means, the means holding the imprinting type and the imprinting wheel, to prevent relative shifting thereof as the imprinting wheel is rotated.
