PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or applicable to Printing Machines for Punching
Paper, Card, or Printed Matter.
We, EDWARD THOMAS WEST DENNIS of 82 Newborough Street, Scarborough,
Printer and Publisher, and THOMAS MILLER HARDING of 2, Commercial Street,.
Scarborough, Foreman Printer, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
to be as follows
The object of our invention is to utilise say an ordinary platen printing machine.
for the punching of paper, card or printed work in lieu of punching in the usual
punching press.
In carrying out our invention we take a punch such as is now used in the
ordinary punching and eyeletting press and mount it in a metal stand or carrier so
arranging it that when mounted the point of the punch is about type height, the
underside of the carrier being recessed for the purpose hereinafter described.
We then take the stand or carrier holding the punch and lock it up in a chase
after the manner of ordinary type and fix it on the printing machine. The machine
is then put in motion and fed with the paper or printed matter or card intended to.
be punched and as the same is brought up to the punches by the motion of the
machine the holes are punched in the paper printed matter or card, the debris.
falling through the punch into the recessed portion of the carrier before mentioned.
Of course we remove the ordinary inking rollers and it will thus be seen that by
our invention the operation of punching is analogous to that of printing and is.
performed by the same machine.
Any number of punches and carriers may be used and mounted either singly or
in series in the stands or carriers and they may be set up in any relation to each
other as may be found desirable.
