I HENRY BAKER of 20 Silver Street, Bury Street New Oxford Street,
London, W.C. Press Maker, Dye Maker &c. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
-
An improvement in lever & screw embossing presses, consisting of a die holder,
immediately under & worked by a lever handle in one case & by the balls & screw in
the other case.
The said lever handle & the said balls & screw being fixed at the top
of the press, & the whole raised by a spring fixed at the back of the press by means
of a screw, & passing through the body of the press, is inserted in the die holder.
By means of the balls & screw & the aforesaid lever handle, the die holder is forced
down upon the counterpart, thus giving the impression, & is afterwards raised by the
aforesaid spring. The press can be made at a much cheaper rate than those formerly
used & the simplicity of construction makes it impossible for it to get out of order.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Apparatus for Embossing Paper and Envelopes, Companys'
Documents, and all Papers and Documents for which Embossed
Impressions are Used.
I HENRY BAKER of 20 Silver Street Bury Street London, W.C. Press Maker,
Die Maker, &c. do hereby declare the nature 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 :-
It is an improvement in lever and screw embossing presses, as used for embossing
paper and envelopes, Company's documents, and all papers and documents for which
embossed impressions are used.
It consists of a die holder (marked A in drawing) placed at the front of the press,
and immediately under and worked by a lever handle (B) in the lever press and by
the balls and screw in the screw press. The aforesaid die holder being steadied and
receiving its direction from two pins (C) fixed under the nose of the press, one at
each side, and passing through the die holder (A) at each side.
The aforesaid lever handle in the lever press and the screw and balls in the screw
press, being placed at the top of the press, above the die holder, so that when lowered
they force the die holder (A) when fitted with a die (1) on to the counterpart (E)
thus giving the embossed impression.
After the impression is taken, the whole, that is, the die and die holder and the
lever handle in the lever press, or the screw and balls in the screw press, is raised by
a spring (F) fixed at the back of the press by a screw, (G) and passing through the
body of the press is inserted in the die holder (A).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that 'what
1 claim is
The invention of the die holder (A) and the spring (F) also the two pins (C) which
passing through the die holder (A) gives a perfectly perpendicular motion to the

page_text: I also claim greater efficiency in working over ordinary embossing presses, superior
impressions on articles stamped, simplicity of construction, cheapness of production,
being nearly 50 per cent. cheaper than ordinary embossing presses, and less liable to
get out of order than other presses.
