Abstract: 2002. Hanel, C. Jan. 27. Feeding w e b s ; cutting - apparatus. -In coin - freed apparatus for printing and delivering stamps, tickets, &c. from a strip, the strip-severing mechanism is always connected to the operating - handle, and only the feeding and printing mechanism is coupled to it by means of the inserted coin, and, when the severance of a stamp, ticket, &c. is being effected, the strip is arranged to be free of the feeding and printing mechanism. Further, the printing-block and feeding-strips, which may be separate or formed in one, are removably attached to the cylinder so that they may be readily changed. The wheel 7 having been coupled with the operating-spindle 6 by prepayment, the strip 24 is printed and fed forward through the space of one ticket &c. by a segment 11, carried by a wheel 9 and rotated through gear 7, 8, 9 when the operator rotates the spindle 6. During the latter part of this rotation, when the strip, having escaped from the segment 11, is free from tension, a cam 20 on the spindle 6 raises a pivoted arm 17 and a movable blade 15 so as to sever the strip by the aid of a fixed blade 14. An inking-roller 12 is provided, which engages with the segment 11. The feeding-strips 41 and the printing-block 43, Figs. 6 and 7, are secured by screws &c. so as to be readily replaced by others of different length, width, &c. In Fig. 6, the two parts are separate and superposed ; while in Fig. 7, the two are formed in one. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the knife 46, 47 is carried by a frame 50, which can be adjusted by means of a screw and slot 53, 54 and a scale 56, to allow for printing and feeding strips of different lengths.
