Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a female die structure cooperating with the mating die for embossing paper and comprising a hollow member having a top access opening and a bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, a holder releasably receiving said hollow member, means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a porous member disposed within the hollow member through said access opening and carrying a supply of printing fluid, a cover seal of flexible nonporous material releasably sealing the top access opening to prevent contact between said holder and porous member, and said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the porous member and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be inked thereby.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
206 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a female die structure cooperating with the mating die for embossing paper and comprising a hollow member having a top access opening and a bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, a holder releasably receiving said hollow member, means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a porous member disposed within the hollow member through said access opening and carrying a supply of printing fluid, a cover seal of flexible nonporous material releasably sealing the top access opening to prevent contact between said holder and porous member, and said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the porous member and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be inked thereby.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
184 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a die structure cooperating with the mating die for embossing paper and comprising a hollow member having a bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, and means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a screen disposed within said hollow member against said inner surface and a porous member disposed within the hollow member against said screen and carrying a printing fluid to supply said screen therewith, said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the screen and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be printed thereby.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
184 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a die structure cooperating with the mating die for embossing paper and comprising a hollow member having a bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, and means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a screen disposed within said hollow member against said inner surface and a porous member disposed within the hollow member against said screen and carrying a printing fluid to supply said screen therewith, said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the screen and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be printed thereby.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The invention as set forth in claim 2 wherein the mesh of the screen member is substantially less than the smallest counter of said characters to provide support therefor under embossing pressures.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
204 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a die structure cooperating for embossing action with the mating die and comprising a hollow cup-shaped member open at the top and having a thin bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, a holder releasably receiving said hollow cup-shaped member, means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a porous member disposed within the hollow member and carrying a supply of printing fluid, and cover means sealing the open top of the cup-shaped member to seal said porous member and prevent contact thereof with said holder, said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the porous member and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be printed thereby.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
204 words
In a paper-embossing seal press having a mating die with raised characters formed thereon, a die structure cooperating for embossing action with the mating die and comprising a hollow cup-shaped member open at the top and having a thin bottom wall defining an inner surface and an outer face subjected to working pressures applied between the dies to a sheet of paper disposed against said outer face, a holder releasably receiving said hollow cup-shaped member, means engaging said inner surface of said bottom wall and subjected to said working pressures including a porous member disposed within the hollow member and carrying a supply of printing fluid, and cover means sealing the open top of the cup-shaped member to seal said porous member and prevent contact thereof with said holder, said bottom wall having recessed seal characters mating with the raised characters on the mating die for embossing said paper under said working pressures and opening upon said inner surface to expose the paper embossment to contact with the porous member and the printing fluid carried thereby at said inner surface whereby a sheet of paper being embossed will be forced by the raised characters into engagement with the porous member and be printed thereby.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
The die construction defined in claim 4 in which said cover means is of resilient material interposed between said holder and porous member and is subjected to said working pressures.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The die structure defined in claim 4 wherein said porous member is secured to the inner surface of said bottom wall and completely filling the space within the cup member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
The invention as set forth in claim 6 wherein the porous member is of metallic structure having variable porosity with the minimum porosity adjacent to the inner surface of the bottom wall and with maximum porosity adjacent said cover member.
