ABSTRACT:
A bar code conversion device for automatically converting the decimal digits of a selected postal ZIP Code into the corresponding POSTNET bar code has a first set of digit wheels with faces for the decimal digits, a second set of bar code wheels with faces for the bar code segments corresponding to the decimal digits, and a set of linkages coupling each pair of associated digit and bar code wheels so that they can be rotated to selected digit positions of a ZIP Code in tandem. In the mechanical embodiment, the device is a hand stamp for stamping the bar code segment faces on an article. An electromechanical version has input digit wheels and an output printer. An electronic version has an input keypad and an output printer. The bar code is applied on an article for mailing, and is optically readable by the United States Postal Service's bar code readers.
