PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Stamping or Outting Soap-tablets, Metal
Foils, and the like.
We, THE ESSENTIAL OIL IMPORTERS AND EXPORTERS LIMITED, Merchants, of
66, Basinghall Street, in the City of London, and JOHANN HAUFF, Engineer, of
28, Blumen Strasse, Berlin, in the German Empire, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved apparatus for stamping or cutting soap-
tablets, metal foils, and the like, and has for its object to ensure greater certainty
of operation and freedom from danger to the operator.
An apparatus embodying this invention has a suitable standard and table for
supporting the operative parts, as usual. In the standard works a rotating
spindle surrounded by a hollow casing or sleeve and fitted with a hand-wheel
or the like whereby the same is operated. The edge of the said casing or sleeve
is helical and bears upon a plunger, preferably provided with a groove with
which the edge of the casing engages to ensure absolutely correct guidance of
the parts. The plunger carries the die, punch, or stamp to be impressed upon,
or forced through the material to be operated upon by the apparatus.
When the hand-wheel or the like is actuated so as to rotate the spindle, the
helical edge of the casing acts as a cam to depress the plunger and according to
the travel of the helical edge the plunger will be depressed more or less.
In an apparatus of this construction no spring is required for the spindle
which can be stopped at any point in its revolution as may be desirable. The
groove in the top of the plunger is preferably of such shape that the plunger is
suspended on the helical edge of the casing surrounding the spindle, conse-
quently the plunger can not descend when the spindle stops and this obviates
the peril of injury to the operator's hand. It also prevents defective working
by reason of wear and tear better than the constructions heretofore known.
The plunger is connected with the spindle only by the edge of the hollow
casing and is guided in an independent bearing in the standard and may be fitted
as required for the purpose for which the apparatus is to serve.

page_text: of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improved apparatus for stamping or cutting soap-
tablets, metal foils and the like and has for its object to ensure greater certainty
of operation and freedom from danger to the operator.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing showing the apparatus
in elevation.
An apparatus embodying this invention has a suitable standard and table for
supporting the operative parts as usual. In the standard A, works a rotating
spindle surrounded by a hollow casing or sleeve B, and fitted with a handwheel C,
or the like, whereby the same is operated. The edge D, of the said casing or
sleeve is helical and engages with or bears upon a plunger, E, preferably pro-
vided with a groove with which the edge of the casing engages to ensure absolutely
correct guidance of the parts. The plunger carries the die, punch, or stamp
to be impressed upon, or forced through the material to be operated upon by
the apparatus.
When the hand wheel is operated so as to rotate the spindle, the helical edge
of the casing acts as a cam to depress the plunger and according to the travel
of the helical edge the plunger will be depressed more or less.
In an apparatus of this construction no spring is required for the spindle
which can be stopped at any point in its revolution as may be desirable. The
groove in the top of the plunger is preferably of such shape that the plunger is
suspended on the helical edge of the casing surrounding the spindle, conse-
quently the plunger can not descend when the spindle stops and thus obviates
the peril of injury to the operators hand. It also prevents defective working
of the parts, by reason of wear and tear, better than the constructions hitherto
known.
The plunger is connected with the spindle by only the edge of the hollow
casing and is guided in an independent bearing in the standard and may be fitted
as required for the purpose for which the apparatus is to serve.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
An apparatus for stamping or cutting soap tablets metal foils, or the like,
constructed and operating substantially as set forth and shown in the accom-
panying drawing.
