Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0132952A1] The machine (10) may be used to emboss characters of embossed script, and comprises a paper support (12) and an escapement (20) from a typewriter. Embossable paper is fed from around a roller (22) to a position between an embossing stylus (14) and a resilient anvil (28). The stylus (14) is moved against the anvil to impress the paper, and moves in a horizontal plane to emboss characters in the paper. A coupling (18) comprising a panto-graph mechanism causes the stylus (14) to follow with reduced amplitude, movement of a describing member (16). The discribing member (16) is a ring in which the user's finger is placed. The finger is run over a fingerboard (34) to describe the desired character, which is embossed in the paper by the stylus (14). The fingerboard has grooves to guide the finger. After each character is completed, the escapement (20) is operated to move the paper support (12) to present a fresh area of the psper to the stylus.
