PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combination Roll Paper Holder and Printing
Mechanism.
We,
ALFRED JOHN PAYNTER BROWN and JAMES ROWLAND BROUGH, both
of 29, 30, 31 & 32 Warwick Lane, in the City of London, E.C. Paper Manu-
facturers, and ERNEST DU'SOLEI TUPPER, of Rayment's Hotel, London Wall,
also in the City of London, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This our invention relates to an improved combination roll paper holder and
printing mechanism, and it consists in an improved form of holder intended to be
used for supporting a roll of paper for wrapping or other purposes and printing
mechanism adapted to impress upon the paper drawn from the roll an advertisement
or other matter at the will of the person using the apparatus.
The machine consists of a main frame composed of two side standards or frames
which are connected together at the required distance apart by boards or rods of a
suitable section, to which boards or rods the said standards are connected preferably
by a hinge so as to allow the side frames or standards aforesaid, to be folded
inwards and lie flat for convenience in packing.
The roll of paper is provided with sockets at its ends in which are inserted
pivots upon which the roll rotates, the said pivots project from metal plates which
are so constructed as to drop into a socket formed in the side frames or standards,
the said plates having an outer extension to provide a finger hold to facilitate the
removal of the roll when required.
The cutter bar is suspended by means of hangers in such a manner as to bear
against the periphery of the paper roll, the said hangers are provided at their upper
ends with a hook or other device by means of which they are suspended from studs
upon the inner faces of the side frames. A racked bar is hinged at a suitable point
to each of the hangers, the rack upon the said bar engaging the roll supporting
device in such a manner that the cutter cannot be drawn away from the periphery
of the paper roll unless the racked bars are first disengaged from the retaining device.
The cutter bar is hung in such a position that it will always remain in contact with
the paper roll as the diameter of the latter is decreased. The printing mechanism
consists of a roller of wood or other material which carries the forme or type bed,
the type being preferably moulded in india-rubber in the manner well known and
used for india-rubber stamps, and the said type is secured on the periphery of the
roiler in any convenient manner. The said type-roller is carried in a side frame in
a socket or bearing formed therefor. Inking rollers are also carried in the said
side frames and are adapted to ink the face of the type upon the type roller.
The whole of the printing mechanism is adjusted between the main or side
standards in such a manner that it may be readily removed when it is required to
be re-inked or when the printing of the paper drawn from the roll is not desired.
The paper drawn from the paper roll passes round a wooden or other roller which
has its surface in contact with the type face and thence returns under the knife or
cutter against the edge of which it is torn or cut when required.
A board is fitted upon the top of the side frames or standards when erected, and
serves to retain the same in position and thus stiffen the apparatus.
The mechanism may be concealed at the front and rear of the machine, by
removable plates which may be utilised for advertising purposes.

An Improved Combination Roll Paper Holder and Printing
Mechanism.
We, ALFRED JOHN PAYNTER BROWN and JAMES ROWLAND BROUGH, both
of 29, 30, 31 and 32 Warwick Lane, in the City of London, E.C. Paper Manu-
facturers, and ERNEST DU'SOLEI TUPPER of Rayment's Hotel, London Wall,
also in the City of London, Commercial Traveller, 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 our invention relates to an improved combination roll paper holder and
printing mechanism, and it consists in an improved form of holder intended to be
used for supporting a roll of paper for wrapping or other purposes and printing
mechanism adapted to impress upon the paper drawn from the roll, an advertisement
or other matter at the will of the person using the apparatus.
In order that our invention may be readily understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawings in which―
Figure 1, is a view of a. machine constructed in accordance with our invention,
looking from the front.
Figure 2, is a rear view of the machine.
Figure 3, is a transverse section taken on the line
Figure 4, is a detail of the roll hanger, and
Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 5, is a detail hereinafter described of the cutter bar and hanger.
Throughout the several figures like letters indicate corresponding parts of the
machine.
The main frame consists of two side standards or frames A, which are connected
together at the required distance apart by rods a of a suitable section, to which
rods the said standards A are hinged, as shown at a¹ so as to allow the side frames
or standards to be folded inwards and lie flat, for convenience in packing &c.
The roll of paper B is provided with sockets at its ends in which are inserted the
pivots upon which the roll rotates, the said pivots b are hung upon a stud projecting
from the inner face of the side frames respectively, as shown at b in Figure 4, the
hangers being so constructed as to drop into a notch formed in the main frame and
being extended outwardly so as to provide a finger hold to facilitate the removal of
the roll when required.
The cutter C, is provided with projecting pins by means of which it is suspended
in apertures formed in the ends of hanging bars D, the upper ends of which bars
are hung upon studs d upon the inner faces of the side frames. A racked, bar is
hinged at a suitable point to each of the hangers D, as shown at E, the rack upon
the said bar engaging the roll supporting device and it will thus be seen that the
cutter cannot be drawn away from the periphery of the roll B, unless the racked
bars E are first disengaged from the retaining device. The cutter C is hung in
such a position that it will always remain in contact with the roll as the diameter
of the latter is decreased.
The printing mechanism consists of a roller F which carries the forme or type
bed, the said type is preferably moulded in india-rubber in the manner well
known and used for india-rubber stamps, and is secured on the periphery of the
roller in any convenient manner. The said type roller F is carried in a casting or
side frame G, in a socket or bearing formed therefor. Inking rollers g are also
carried in the said side frame G, and are adapted to ink the face of the type upon
the roller F. Au impression roller h and tension roller i are also carried by said
frame.
The paper web drawn from the roll is passed between the several rollers in the
manner shown in Figure 3.

page_text: The whole of the printing mechanism is attached to studs ; upon the framing
being readily detachable when required.
A board His fitted upon the top of the side frames or standards, when erected
and serves to retain the same in position and thus stiffen the apparatus.
The mechanism may be concealed if desired, at the front and rear of the machine
by removable plates which may be utilized for advertising purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In a roll paper holder the combination with the roll supporting device of a
suspended cutter having a hinged bar with teeth to engage the roll hanger, sub-
stantially as described and illustrated.
2. In a roll paper holder the combination with the paper roll and the suspended.
knife or cutter of printing mechanism supported between the side frames of the
machine, said mechanism consisting of a type cylinder, inking roller, an impression
roller and a tension roller the whole arranged and operating substantially as
described and illustrated.
