Year: 1885

page_text: 'I, ALEXANDER SINCLAIR COGHILL of Moyne Road Rathmines in the County of
Dublin, Stationer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "PRESS FOR
PRINTING EMBOSSING OR STAMPING IN COLOUR ON PAPER CARD AND THE LIKE WITH
INKING APPARATUS APPLICABLE GENERALLY IN COLOUR STAMPING PRESSES," and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to a press for embossing or stamping in colour on paper,
card and the like. It is worked by the foot of the operator leaving the hands free
for feed and delivery of the material treated, and when it is used for printing or
stamping in colour, there is used in conjunction with it an inking apparatus which
can be applied in printing mechanism of other kinds. I will describe the press
with the inking apparatus referring to accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 being a side
view and Fig. 2 a front view. A the holder for the forme, type or die is attached
to the guided plunger B which is raised by a spring, and is depressed by the cam
arm D of a rocking shaft E acting on a roller C mounted at the top of the plunger.
Another arm D¹ projecting backwards, from the rocking shaft E carries a roller G
which is engaged in a curved slot of a lever J pivotted at H on the framing Y. The
lower end of the lever J is connected by a link K to the printing table M on which
are mounted two inking rollers L L the one above the other, the lower one bearing
on the inking table or slab N. From the rocking shaft E two arins F descend to a
stirrup f. The operation of the machine is as follows: The operator sitting in
front with a foot in the stirrupf swings it forwards thus allowing the holder A to
be raised by the spring, and by the movement of the roller G along the lower part
of the slot in J, causing the printing table M to advance. During the advance of
the table M, the two rollers L L run, the one over the inking slab N receiving
colour, and the other over the forme in A delivering color to it. While the table M
is forward, the operator removes the previously stamped paper, card, envelope or
other article, and places a fresh one on the table in correct register, and then
swings the stirrup f backwards. During the first part of the movement thus given
to G upwards, it causes the table M to retreat bringing the article to be stamped
D

of Git moves through a part of the slot J which is concentric with E, and therefore
it holds the table M stationary while the cam arm D causes the holder A to descend
effecting the impression.
The printing table M with its two inking rollers L L, arranged to move to and
fro between a forme above and an ink table or slab below, so that while the one
roller receives ink or pigment from the slab and gives it to the other roller, the
latter delivers ink or pigment to the forme, constitutes an inking apparatus which
can be applied to different kinds of presses or printing machines of the class
described, as may be readily understood.
When more perfect distribution of ink or colour is required several pairs of
rollers such as L L may be mounted on the table.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The construction of press for printing embossing or stamping in colour,
substantially as herein described with reference; to the accompanying Drawings.
2. The combination of a reciprocating printing table carrying a pair or pairs of
inking rollers, with an ink slab below and a forme above arranged and operating
substantially as herein described.
