2 Claims. (Cl. 164-93) The present invention relates to punching devices and more particularly to a gang punch designed for punching round holes in multiple thicknesses or layers of paper, cards, or the like, at predetermined locations.
In banking, for example, loans are made to individuals vwho repay in monthly instalments. The borrowers are each provided with a set of cards corresponding to the number of instalment payments to be made and one of these cards is returned to the bank with each payment. Customarily, the amount of each payment indicated on the card is the same, as is the clay of the month and other related information. This data is applied to each card in the form of punch holes which permit the card to be passed through recording business machines at the bank for tabulating and other purposes. Since all the cards bear this same punched data and since the holes must be accurately punched if the cards are to be used in business machines, it is necessary to provide machinery which can be rapidly set up to punch the desired data simultaneously in a plurality of cards and which will permit and facilitate the accurate simultaneous punching of a plurality of cards.
It is a principal object of this invention to provide a punching machine or gang punch which will fulfill these requirements.
Another requirement, which it is an object of this invention to fulll, is that the arrangement of punches may quickly and conveniently be altered to meet required punching conditions for each new set of cards to be punched.
Still another requirement which it, also, is an I object of this invention to fulfill, is that each stack or pack of cards be punched cleanly and accurately without residual burrs on their backs which would make it difcult, if not impossible, for such cards to be run through tabulating machines successfully.
A further requirement, which, too, it is an object of this invention to fulll, is that the operation of the machine be convenient and easy, needing but little strength on the part of an operator for successful manipulation.
`To the accomplishment of the foregoing and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, this invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described i of this invention, it being expressly understood, f'
however, that changes may be made in practice within the scope of the claims without digressing from the inventive idea.
In the drawings, in which similar characters denote corresponding parts,
Figure 1 is a side elevation, partially in vertical section, of a gang punch embodying the features of my invention;
Figure la is a partial top plan view on a reduced scale illustrating the linkageand leverage-operating system for operating the punch;
Figure lb is an end view on a reduced scale viewed from the left of Figure l;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the punch portion of the device of Figure l, broken away in part, at different levels, to illustrate features of construction; and
Figure 3is a plan View of one form of card, or the like, adapted to be punched in the device illustrated in the first-named figures.
Referring now to the drawings, and rst to reference Figs. l and 2, IE! denotes a base for a gang punch` made rof any suitable material. This base, in the embodiment shown, has rectangular form and a substantially ilat-top face I I. A transversely eX- tending recess I2 is provided in this top. Fitted into this recess is a base plate or member I3 of hardened steel or other suitable shockand wearresisting material. The plate is so admeasured that its top face i4 lies flush with the face II of the base J0.
This plate is provided with a plurality of transversely extending rows of holes I5. In the embodiment shown there are twelve holes in each row and forty equi-distantly spaced parallel rows are provided with corresponding holes of eachv row in alignment with those of all the .other rows. It is to be understood, of course, that fewer or larger numbers of holes per row and, likewise, fewer or larger numbers of rows may be provided.
The base I0 is provided below the plate I3 with a corresponding set of holes It which are of somewhat larger diameters than those of holes I3, and in axial alignment therewith. These holes I6 permit free clearance for the punchedout portions of the cards, or the like, as will be hereinafter described more in detail.
Parallelly arranged guide bars il suitably iixed as at I8 to the top face il of the base extend transversely thereof adjacent opposite edges of the plate I3. A transversely extending positioning guide member I9 extending between the guide bars I'I near one pair of ends thereof is provided. This member I9 has a horizontal ange I9a which is slotted at 2|) and adjustably positioned on the face II of the base by set screws 2|, or the like, which extend into the slots 29 so that the member I9 may be adjustably positioned and fixed in predetermined positions in the longitudinal direction of the guide bars I1, and between the latter.
Vertically extending guide posts, or rods 22, are supported suitably from the base I0, being arranged in this embodiment at corners of a rectangle. These posts have reduced lower-end portions 23 which engage threadedly in threaded holes 24 provided in the base I0, with the shoulder 25 between the two portions of each post abutting the top face II of the base. Heads 26 at the upper ends of the posts serve as limiting stops as will be hereinafter described. l
The punch head denoted generally by the reference character 39 is movable reciprocally on the guide posts or rods 22. This head has a lower, or presser foot and stripping member 3|, and a punch-carrying support 32.
The presser foot and stripping member 3| consist of a plate having substantially rectangular form. This plates has openings 33 adjacent to its corners through which the guide posts 22 are adapted to project and is slidable vertically in either direction on these posts. A downwardly projecting flange 34 is provided on the lower face of the member 3|. This flange in outline corresponds in shape to that of plate I3 and is adapted and admeasured in size so that in its lowermost position it can extend into the limited space above plate I3, provided by the guide bars I1. Both the presser member 3| and the flange 34 have a plurality of vertical holes 35 corresponding in number and relative position to the holes I in plate I3.
The punch-carrying support 32 consists of a plate having substantially the same peripheral shape as member 3 I. This plate, too, has openings 36 adjacent to its corners through which the guide posts 22 are adapted to project, and is slidable vertically in either direction on these posts. The upper ends of openings 36 are countersunk at 36a to receive the heads 26 of the posts in the uppermost position of support 32, the heads serving to limit upward movement of support 32.
The plate 32 has, also, holes 31 which are countersunk at 31a. Spacing members or bolts 38 having heads 38a are inserted into these holes or openings 31 and engage threadedly at 38h in the member 3|, the plate being slidable relative to member 3| on these bolts but limited in movement by the heads 38a.
The support 32, likewise, has a plurality of vertically extending holes 42 in axial alignment and corresponding in number with the holes 35 and I5 in the other parts.
A plurality of punch pins 43 are provided. Each of these pins has substantially circular cross-section rand is so admeasured in diameter as to be movable slidably through any of the openings I5, 35 and 42. At its upper end each pin is headed at 44. Each pin is so admeasured in length that when inserted into a hole 42 through the upper end of the latter, the lower end 45 of the pin,l in the normal position of support 32 and member 3|, will not in the normal positions of parts project below the surface 34a of the member 3|, terminating preferably just short of this surface, as shown in Fig. 1.
One of these punch pins is adapted to be inserted into, and removed at will from, any vertical pair of holes 42 and 35 With the head thereof resting on the top face 32a of support 32.
When a desired set of pins has been inserted into the required pairs of holes 42 and 35, it is necessary to lock the pins against relative movement with respect to the support 32. To this end, any suitable clamping means is provided.
This means, in the embodiment shown, comprises a locking plate 46. The latter, on its bottom face, has a recess 41 of suicient depth to receive the heads 44. The plate is suitably hinged at 48 to the support 32.
Suitable means are provided to lock the plate 46 over the heads 44. To this end, in the embodiment shown, a slot or slots 49 are provided in the plate 46. These slots extend transversely from the edge 46a of the said plate and are longer than they are wide. A locking pin 5I) threadedly engaging in the support 32 is provided for each slot and extends through the latter, terminating in `a flattened transverse head 5I.
The heads 5I are so admeasured that, when they extend parallel with the length of the slots 49, the locking plate 46 may be lifted from the support 32 and rotated about the hinges 48. On the other hand, when they extend transversely of the slots, the plate 46 is locked in place. Since the pins 50 engage threadedly in the support 32, the plate 46 may be tightly clamped to the said support, serving them to secure the punches 43 firmly to the said support.
Means for operation of the punch head 30 are provided. To this end, the support 32 is provided with upwardly extending yoke lianges 52. Each flange has a slotted pivot opening 53 in which a pivot pin 54 engages loosely. Each pivot pin is secured intermediate the ends of a lever 55. One end of each lever 55 is pivotally joined at 56 to a vertical support or fulcrum bar 51. The said bar in turn is rigidly secured to the base I0 and further supported vertically by the brace bar 58 which is secured both to the base I6 at 59 and to the bar 51 at 56.
Each lever 55 after being bent at 55 and 55" (Fig. la) has its opposite end pivotally joined at 60 to a link 6I. Each link, in turn, is suitably bent at 6I and 6| and pivoted at 62 to a single centrally located operating lever 63. The operating lever is pivotally joined at 54 between tines 65 to a centrally located upright or fulcrum bar 65 which, in turn, has oppositely extending iianges 66 which are supported suitably at 66 from the base I 9. The lever 63 serves through links 6I to operate the levers 55 in unison. This lever and linkage system upon rotation of the lever 63 eiTects corresponding vertical movement of the punch head 30 as will be hereinafter described. The linkage and levers are so arranged as to provide leverage in favor of the operator.
One form of card adapted to be punched in the device of this invention is illustrated in Fig. 3. Therein, the card 1D hasl substantially rectanguthe insertion by hand of certain data, such as,
name, address, remittance number, et cetera. Also, the card has on its face a plurality of transversely arranged parallel rows A of numerals,
'the numerals in each row being in series for In operation of the machine, if, for example, A
the operator wishes to punch out of a plurality of cards the various numerals encircled in Fig. 3,'
he releases the locking plate 46, turning it back on its hinges 4B to expose the support 32, and inserts a punch pin 43 into each one of the holes 42 which corresponds in position to one of the encircled numerals of the card Iii. I-Ie then covers the so mounted punch pins with the locking plate 45 and clamps the latter thereover by the headed screws or pins 50, as described.
The rear guide I9 is then adjusted to such position, that, when the card edges 10a abut this guide, each encircled numeral will lie directly under that punch pin which is to punch it out.
After such adjustment of the guide, a stack or pile of the cards 'I3' are slid into the space 4I between the guide Il until their ends 'Illa abut the rear guide I9. n
The lever 63 is then rotated in such direction as to cause punching of the stack of cards. This punching takes place as follows: Rotation of lever 63 is transmitted through the links 6I to levers 55 which, in turn, move the flanges 52, and, consequently, the support 32, downwardly on the guide posts 22. Since the pins 43 are rigidly held with respect to the support 32 by the locking plate 46, they, too, move downwardly toward the cards. At the same time, the downward motion of support 32 is transmitted through springs 4i] to the presser member 3| which then also moves downwardly into pressing engagement through its flange 34 with the stack of cards in space 31. This pressing engagement forces out all air between the individual cards in the stack pressing them closely together and crushing any burrs or edge fibres of the cards. vWhile so pressed together, continued downward movement of the lever G3 causes the punch pins 43 on the continuing downward movement of support 32 to punch through the card stack and force the punched-out parts through holes I5 in plate I3 and holes I6 in the base IIJ, the ends 45 of the punch pins following through the punched holes into the holes l5 to force the punchings out through holes I6.
Upon release of the lever G3 and its rotation in the opposite direction, the springs 40 first move the support 32 upwardly while maintaining pressing engagement of the presser member 3| with the cards, until the punch pin ends 45 have moved upwardly to clear the cards. When this has occurred, the further release motion of lever 63 permits the springs 40 to return to equilibrium condition and return the support 32 and member 3I to the positions shown in Fig. 1. The member 3I serves thus both as a presser foot and as a stripper and insures clean, regular punching-out of the required holes in the stack of cards. Since the stack is firmly pressed together during punching movement therethrough of the punches, and during retraction, the holes are punched without leaving burrs or ridges around the openings.
The operations described are repeated for each stack of cards punched, the punches being rearranged readily as necessary between punchings.
The device described herein permits quick, accurate punching as desired, of stacks of cards for banking and other purposes. The leverage ratio in favor of the operator is sulciently large to reduce required operating effort to a minimum. Ruggedness and long life of parts are also characteristics of the machines.
The punch described is, of course, useful for punching holes in paper coupons arranged in book form and in other piled sheet papers at desired points, and, in fact, wherever cleanly punched holes are desired.
It is to be understood that variation as to details is contemplated within the scope of the claims. There is no intention of limitation to the exact details shown and described.
What is claimed is:
l. In a devicev of the character described, a base member having a plurality of vertically extending perforations, a punching head guidably mounted in spaced relationship over said base member, lindividually-removable punching elements carried by said head, and means for moving said head-carried elements toward and away from said base member, said means comprising vertically-extending members rigid with said base, a vertically-extending member rigid with said head, a lever pivotally connected to one of said first-named vertically extending members and with said second-named vertically extending member, an operating lever pivotally con-- nected to another of said first-named vertically extending members and a link member pivotally connecting said two levers, said levers being arranged and admeasured to provide a leverage ratio in favor of the operator for moving said head.
