<p>A postage meter having a plurality of value wheels (12) extending through a window (13) in a housing (10), and die protector bars (67) between the value wheels (12), the die protector bars (67) having a first position at which they extend a further distance from the housing (10) than the value wheels (12), and a second, retracted, position. The die protector bars (67) extend in the housing (10) between a pivot block (61) and a cam block (62). A die shield (20) is slidably movable between a first position aligned with the window, and a second, retracted, position. The cam block (62) and dead bolt (75) are positively moved in common via can surfaces, by a rotatable yoke (43). A latch lever (90) may engage the dead bolt (75) to latch the postage meter to a mailing machine.</p> |
