Warwick, and 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to roll paper holders and device for tearing off the paper
in which on the withdrawal of the paper the latter is simultaneously stamped or
impressed with advertisements or the like.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side view of the apparatus;
Figure 2, an end view;
Figure 3, a separate view of the lazy tongs device for connecting the standards
holding the roll;
Figure 4, a detail view of the roll;
Figure 5, an end view of the same showing the spiral spring.
The apparatus is so constructed that a roll of any suitable length and thickness
may be employed.
The paper roll a lies between two slotted standards or supports b and c, which
are connected below with one another by a so called lazy tongs arrangement d.
The standards or supports b and c may thus be drawn closer together or moved
further apart according to the thickness of the roll a.
The printing or impressing device which is mounted above the paper roll a
and presses thereon consists of three rollers ef g. The actual printing or im-
pressing roller e contains the type either in raised- or sunk-letters. The roller f
which is made of indiarubber or other suitable composition distributes equally
on the printing roller the ink or other colour conveyed to the roller g by any
suitable means. The three rollers are mounted in a closed casing on which two
lazy tongs and i are attached one on each side, which are guided at the sides by
means of two carriages in the above mentioned slots of the standards or
supports and c.
An iron bark of suitable weight also rests on the paper roll, which bar is hinged
The iron bar k is attached to the
to the apparatus by means of holders and m.
holders and m by means of two wing nuts o and p. This bar has for its object
to exert a pressure on the roll when paper is torn off it, the paper being cut off
along the edge of this bar. Several of these iron bars of different lengths are
included with each apparatus, and may be inserted therein according to the width
of the paper roll a. In the paper roll itself, which is provided with a central
opening, a short spindle is laterally inserted, on which spindle a strong spiral
spring is mounted (see Figure 5) and these spindles are inserted in the slots of

page_text: the standards or supports 6 and c.
Small holes are formed in the standards or
supports and c at different heights, in which pins are inserted, on which latter
the spindle of the paper roll rests.
According to the thickness of the roll, the pins are inserted in a higher or
lower hole. By pulling the paper of the roll a at the point F the printing roller e
resting on the said roll is equally rotated by the rotation of the latter, and constantly
prints on the paper the impression of the type contained on the printing roller e,
such for instance as advertisements, the name of a firm or the like.

Improvements in or relating to Roll Paper Holders and Cutters.
A communication by CARL BECHHÖFER, of 41, Breitegasse, Nuremberg, in the
Empire of Germany.
I, GEORGE CECIL DYMOND, M.Inst.M.E., of The Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in
the County of Lancaster, 118, New Street, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, and 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to roll paper holders and device for tearing off the paper
in which on the withdrawal of the paper the latter is simultaneously stamped or
impressed with advertisements or the like.
In the drawings accompanying the Provisional Specification:-
Figure 1 is a side view of the apparatus;
Figure 2, an end view;
Figure 3, a separate view of the lazy tongs device for connecting the standards
holding the roll;
Figure 4, a detail view of the roll;
Figure 5 an end view of the same showing the spiral spring.
The apparatus is so constructed that a roll of any suitable length and thickness
may be employed.
The paper roll a lies between two slotted standards or supports b and c which
are connected below with one another by a so called lazy tongs arrangement d.
The standards or supports b and c may thus be drawn closer together or moved
further apart according to the thickness of the roll a.
The printing or impressing device which is mounted above the paper roll a
and presses thereon consists of three rollers ef g. The actual printing or im-
pressing roller e contains the type either in raised- or sunk-letters. The roller f
which is made of indiarubber or other suitable composition distributes equally
on the printing roller the ink or other colour conveyed to the roller g by any
suitable means. The three rollers are mounted in a closed casing on which two
lazy tongs and i are attached one on each side, which are guided at the sides by
means of two carriages in the above mentioned slots of the standards or
supports b and c.
An iron bark of suitable weight also rests on the paper roll, which bar is hinged
to the apparatus by means of holders and m. The iron bar k is attached to the

page_text: holders and m by means of two wing nuts o and p. This bar has for its object
to exert a pressure on the roll when paper is torn off it, the paper being cut off
along the edge of this bar. Several of these iron bars of different lengths are
included with each apparatus, and may be inserted therein according to the width
of the paper roll a. In the paper roll itself, which is provided with a central
opening, a short spindle is laterally inserted, on which spindle a strong spiral
spring is mounted (see Figure 5) and these spindles are inserted in the slots of
the standards or supports b and c. Small holes are formed in the standards or
supports b and c at different heights, in which pins are inserted, on which latter
the spindle of the paper roll rests.
According to the thickness of the roll, the pins are inserted in a higher or
lower hole. By pulling the paper of the roll a at the point F the printing roller e
resting on the said roll is equally rotated by the rotation of the latter, and constantly
prints on the paper the impression of the type contained on the printing roller e,
such for instance as advertisements, the name of a firm or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is:-
1. An adjustable roll paper holder, printer, and cutter characterised by two
standards or supports being connected by means of a lazy tongs arrangement
with the object of enabling the said standards to be adjusted to suit the width
of the paper roll inserted therein, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. In an adjustable roll paper holder and cutter a printing device mounted in
slots in the standards and constantly bearing on the paper roller, said printing
device being also combined with two lazy tongs in order to allow of its being
adjusted to the width of the paper roll, substantially as herein before described.
3. The general construction and combination of parts, taken as a whole, forming
the improved roll paper holder and cutter, substantially as herein before described
and illustrated.
