ABSTRACT:
A price marker for simultaneously price stamping all containers in a case or carton of containers is provided. The marker includes a frame having four sets of price stamp assemblies supported therefrom and each set of assemblies includes at least three assemblies spaced apart in a row. The sets of assemblies are supported from the frame with the rows thereof disposed in generally parallel side-by-side relation and each price stamp assembly includes a plurality of price stamp wheels supported for independent angular adjustment to bring selected portions of the wheels into price stamping position. At least one set of the price stamp assemblies is stationarily supported from the frame and at least two sets of the price stamping assemblies are supported from the frame for adjustable shifting relative to the latter for varying the spacing between at least two pairs of adjacent sets of assemblies. An actuator is shiftably supported from the frame and operatively connected to the adjustably shiftable sets of price stamp assemblies and a plurality of price adjustment operators are shiftably supported from the frame. The number of price adjustment operators is equal to the number of price stamp wheels of each assembly and the operators are each drivingly connected to the corresponding price stamp wheels of all of the price stamp assemblies in a manner such that shifting of each operator will simultaneously adjust all of the corresponding price stamping wheels. Further, the operators are drivingly connected to their respective price stamping wheels of the stationary price stamp assemblies as well as adjustable price stamp assemblies throughout their ranges of adjustment. The adjustably shiftable sets of price stamp assemblies are provided in order to enable the price marker to be utilized in simultaneously price marking all containers within a case or carton of containers, even though the spcing between the central areas of adjacent containers in different cartons may vary due to the containers in the cartons being of different size.
