    摘要: A coding box suitable for a hot foil printing machine comprises a frame (12), a number of print wheels (14) rotatable about a shaft (16) with respect to the frame (12), each print wheel (14) having a number of outward-facing peripheral flats bearing indicia, a through-hole (18) parallel to the shaft (16) and corresponding to each flat, a rod (20) passable through the holes (18) for setting the wheels (14) in desired orientations with respect to the frame (12) and a magnet in a cup (22) for locking the rod (20) in a set position. A second rod (24) is provided, fast with respect to and parallel to the first rod (20) and having an enlarged distal end (24a) for engagement with a hole in the frame (12) to prevent complete removal of the first rod (20) from the frame (12). The first and second rods are both fast in a handle by which they may be withdrawn from the wheels (14) to permit rotation of the wheels (14), and thus variation of the indicia to be stamped.
