Abstract
Abstract A frame provides sideplates to support pivoted members with stability and to house a power motor with associated equipment. The machine bed is a pivoted gate mounted on the frame for manual closing. A pivoted platen lays substantially in its final closing position. The gate locks closed to the frame, and then a cam drives the platen into pressure engagement with the gate. The cam cycle turns off the drive and unlocks the gate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
An impression forming device, comprising: a base; first and second opposed members mounted on said base for independent movement to an impression forming position in abutting relation; means adapting one of said members to carry an impression receiving body; means adapting the other of said members to provide an impression producing surface; a releasable latching means rendered effective on movement of one of said members to said impression forming position for holding said member in said position; an energizable drive means operable to force the Other member against the member latched in said impression forming position, and means to initiate said drive means effective only after said one member is in the abutting relation position, said drive means arranged to provide a predetermined interval in which said other member is forced against the latched member in said impression forming position, and means responsive to said energized drive means to release said latching means responsive to said drive means reaching a predetermined point in its operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
100 words
An impression forming device as defined in claim 1, wherein said first and second opposed members comprise respectively a matrix means for supporting and transporting a receiving body and an abutment device with surface means for confronting the matrix means, and further characterized by the drive means being constructed and arranged to move said matrix and said abutment device between widely spaced loading and impression positions, and wherein said drive means is constructed and arranged for moving the matrix means in a high-pressure short stroke squeeze against said abutment device wherein said abutment position for applying a final work force.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
In the impression forming device of claim 2, the matrix means and abutment device constituting a print couple movable together to transfer pigment material from a web positioned therebetween to a workpiece place therebetween.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
An impression forming device as defined in claim 2, further characterized in that said means to release the latching means is operative only after completion of said short stroke squeeze.
