Abstract
A motor operated imprinter is disclosed. The imprinter is easy to use as a consequence of the print bearing elements and formset being retained on a generally horizontally disposed surface. A head bearing a carriage with a rolling platen is pivoted from an open position which exposes the surface for retaining the print bearing element and the formset to a closed position to activate the imprinting cycle. An uncomplicated mechanism is used for transmitting power from a motor located in the base to the carriage in the head. The motor is actuated when the head is closed.
