Numbering machine

A numbering machine comprising:

• a housing;
• a wheel axle removably supported in the housing;
• a plurality of number wheels arranged rotatably on the wheel axle, each number wheel being adjustable as to rotational position, at least some of the plurality of number wheels being driven number wheels;
• a plurality of gear wheels respectively associated with the driven number wheels;
• and
• a plurality of drive shafts respectively associated with the driven number wheels and with a drive pinion respectively connected to the drive shafts wherein at least one of the drive shafts is a displaceable drive shaft movable from an operating position, in which the number wheel is driven via the gear wheel is set in rotation by the displaceable drive shaft, into a removal position, in which the displaceable drive shaft releases the number wheel, the axes of rotation of the drive shafts being located on a segment of a circle when the displaceable drive shafts are in the operating position, the circle segment covering an angle range greater than 180°.

A numbering machine comprising:

• a housing;
• a wheel axle arranged removably in the housing;
• a plurality of number wheels arranged rotatably on the wheel axle and adjustable each one by one;
• a gear wheel associated with at least one of the number wheels that is driven via the gear wheel;
• and
• a drive shaft for each of the number wheels that is driven via the associated gear wheel and a drive pinion connected to the drive shaft, wherein at least one drive shaft is a displaceable drive shaft transferable from an operating position, in which the number wheel driven via a gear wheel is set in rotation by the displaceable drive shaft, into a removal position, in which the displaceable drive shaft releases the number wheel, which is driven via a gear wheel, and the wheel axle, the housing having a cover and the displaceable drive shaft being transferred into the removal position by opening the cover, the displaceable drive shaft being mounted in the cover.

• and
• a geared servomotor arranged such that an axis of rotation of the rotor of the geared servomotor coincides with an axis of rotation of the respective drive shaft, is provided for driving each drive shaft, the geared servomotors being arranged for different drive shafts on two opposite sides of the housing.
