Abstract
Setting device for denominations in franking and value stamping machines, including a movable lever having edges being radially curved in a given mutual relationship, pins along which the radially curved edges are guidable, a non-rotatable control disc gear, first and second mutually engageable gears mounted on the lever, a fixed control cylinder, sprockets disposed on the fixed control cylinder, a printing cylinder, a gear being disposed on the printing cylinder and rotatable by the second gear, and a value printing numeral roll being disposed on the printing cylinder, movable by the printing cylinder gear and adjustable by the sprockets, the first gear being devolvable in steps defined by the given relationship on the fixed control cylinder and the non-rotatable control disc gear when the curved edges of the lever are guided along the pins for generating a planetary drive and thrust onto the second gear to set the denominations on the numeral roll.
