    摘要: An anti-energy diversion system for mounting underneath the cover of a standard electric utility meter in order to sense common meter tampering events and indicate the occurrence of such events. A non-battery energy storage circuit extracts energy from the AC power line available in the meter to power the system even during power outages. A flashbulb associated with a heat sensitive indelible indicator is coupled to the energy storage circuit when any one of several tamper event sensor switches are closed. When a tamper event is sensed, a brilliant flash of light is discharged and the appearance of the indelible indicator is transformed.

    摘要: A postage meter printing apparatus for applying postage indicia to a mailpiece having a cyclically operating drum for feeding the mailpiece through the postage meter. The periphery of the drum has an aperture therein. Structure is provided for maintaining the mailpiece against the drum as the mailpiece is fed by the drum and for cycling the drum at a low rotational speed during a part of the cycle when a low-speed printing process is taking place and high rotational speeds during a higher speed printing process and of the remainder of the cycle thereby providing means for obtaining maximum overall cycle speeds while accommodating the low-speed requirements of the slower printing process. A matrix print head for the low-speed process is located internal to the drum having a printing position and a non-printing position, the print head is automatically placed adjacent the mailpiece through the aperture in the drum to its printing position when the aperture is between the print head and mailpiece. Structure is also provided to activate the print head when it is in its printing position.

    摘要: Apparatus for maintaining substantially constant tension in an inelastic timing belt driven by a rigid, swinging arm, including a driven, circular pulley, an eccentrically mounted, circular idler pulley, an inelastic timing belt mounted about the driven and idler pulleys to provide minimum tension at mid-motion and maximum tension at the start and end of motion, and a rigid swinging arm pivotably mounted equidistant from the centers of the driven and idler pulleys and secured at one end to the timing belt.

    摘要: A postage meter printing apparatus for applying postage indicia to a mailpiece having a cyclically operating drum for feeding the mailpiece through the postage meter. The periphery of the drum has an aperture therein. Structure is provided to maintain the mailpiece against the drum as the mailpiece is fed by the drum and to cycle the drum. A matrix print head located internal to the drum has a printing position and non-printing position. The print head is automatically placed adjacent the mailpiece through the aperture in the drum to its printing position, when the aperture is between the print head and the mailpiece. The print head is a matrix print head of impact or other type and includes a cooperating ribbon either inked or other to print on the mailpiece. The inked ribbon is contained in a replaceable cartridge. Structure is provided to activate the print head when it is in its printing position. The circumference of the drum may be fitted with a letterpress printing plate to allow simultaneous matrix printing of variable data and conventional rotary letterpress printing of repetitive data.
