ABSTRACT:
An electronically controlled token engraving apparatus, wherein a slide moves blank tokens from a blank token receiving station to an engraving station and, after engraving, to an ejection station, under the control of a digital logic system is disclosed. The slide includes a token receiving aperture that receives a blank token at the blank token receiving station. At the engraving station, a typehead comprising a plurality of radial type bars is manually rotated by an operator until the desired character type is located above the upper peripheral edge of the token. Thereafter, actuation of a switch causes a toggle press to press the end of the type bar and, thus, the type downwardly against the token causing a character to be engraved therein. Just prior to a character being engraved, the token is indexed a predetermined distance. After a character is engraved, the typehead is manually rotated until the next desired character type is located above the upper peripheral edge of the token. Thereafter the toggle press is again activated, the token is indexed, and a second character is engraved. This sequence is repeated until all of the desired characters, up to a maximum number, are engraved around the upper peripheral edge of the token. Subsequent to the last character being engraved, a further switch is actuated to cause the slide to move the engraved token to the ejection station.
