Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022053111A1] The invention relates to a numbering unit (10) having print wheels (16) for applying a character sequence on a document, wherein the print wheels (16) are mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (162), and wherein one gripper (20) is assigned to one print wheel (16) in order to prevent unwanted rotation of the print wheel (16), wherein the gripper (16) can be moved along the axis of rotation (162) of the print wheels (16). The invention also relates to a gripper (20) for a numbering unit (10) of this kind and to a numbering machine having a numbering unit of this kind. The present invention thus provides a numbering unit (10) with variable print wheel width, because the grippers (20) can be adjusted to a different width and also to a different number of print wheels (16).
