THOMAS JUDGE Cumberland Works Milverton Street Kennington London S.E.
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:---
That marking or branding is done by a rising and falling iron beam fixed to iron
sockets which rise and fall with revolving cams, to which are fixed crank pins.
The working of the cam at same time also causes table to go to and fro on fixed
rails, table solid with an ink pad and stamping pad, there is also on the table each
side of the ink pad, ink wells for containing color, placed between the framework
is a light moveable frame containing a cutting of sacking or other texture which
serves, as the table moves, to act as an ink distributor, it falis in the wells each
side and drags across the pad as the machine moves.

Sack Marking Machine.
THOMAS JUDGE Cumberland Works Milverton Street Kennington London S.E.
Cotton Merchant and Manufacturer 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 :-
This invention consists in a machine for marking sacks and bags at a high
speed or half speed and is similar in effect to the operation of hand marking.
To make my invention easily understood I will proceed to describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawings.
In Figures 1 and 2 a is represented an iron cross bar fixed to iron sockets either
end b, these sockets contain a revolving spindle either end c, the bar with sockets
and spindles rise and fall as the cam wheel revolves d, revolving spindles are fixed
to the cam wheel e, these spindles slide up and down in slotted links f, as the cam
wheel revolves. The links are swivelled to side of frame g, and are also slotted at
the bottom end h, a revolving spindle is fixed to either side end of table i, the table
rests with wheels upon rails j. As the cam wheel revolves the spindle i, slides up
and down the slots h, and cause the moveable table and ink pad to travel to and
fro on the fixed rails k, the cam wheel at the same time, causes the iron cross bar
to rise and fall. Attached to this bar are hangers l, and at the ends of which is
fixed a frame containing letters for marking, m. By the up and down movement
of the cross bar with the letter frame attached, which frame can be taken off the
hangers by undoing the nuts n, and the simultaneous movement of the table and
pad on the rails, the frame of letters falls first upon the pad and immediately after
on the table, upon which, whatever is to be marked, is laid. A bar is fixed from
one side of the frame to the other containing two slots and revolving wheels either side
each slot o, to ensure the hangers falling true. A rod with handle p, containing a
button at the top q, is secured to the top frame, and can be turned by the handle
so as to keep up or let down the iron cross bar containing the sack frame.
P,
Fixed to the table and either side of the ink pad is a trough or well to contain
ink or marking solution, Fig. 1. r. In the side frames fitted in slots just above the
ink pad is a light adjustable frame with a strip of canvas or other material, the
width of the pad fixed to it, Fig. 1 s and the bottom of the canvas contains a
length of iron the width of the pad, except this frame may be raised up and down
[Price 8d.]

page_text: in the slots for adjustment according to the distribution and quantity of ink required,
it remains stationary, but as the table together with the pad travels to and fro the
canvas portion containing the length of iron or rod serves to distribute the ink
evenly, by being dragged over the pad and falling into the troughs or wells every
revolution of the cam wheel.
Fig. 1. represents table of machine with sack upon it ready for the bar with
type frame to drop and mark.
Fig. 2. represents the sick marked and the table extended, the inking pad being
immediately under the type frame, shaft with pulley fixed for driving T handle
for striking belt on and off v.
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 I
claim is.
That it executes the same style of marking that has hitherto been done by hand,
and at much greater speed.
That a cheaper description of ink or paint can be worked and the refuse of inks
utilized.
That it can be worked by one or two persons at full speed or half speed.
1 claim that the table ink pad and wells travelling on rails to receive the type
frame from falling cross bar to be new, also the distributor regulating the quantities
of color combined form a new marking machine of my invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Judge, have hereunto set my hand and
seal this Twenty-first day of December, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and ninety-two.
