Title: An Improved Apparatus for Automatically Feeding the Melting-pot of a Linotype or other Type-casting Machine
Inventor: ROBERTS ARTHUR LINES
Filed: 1905-04-06
Granted: 1905-11-27
Abstract: 7270. Roberts, A. L. April 6. Linotype machines; type.-Relates to apparatus for automatically feeding the melting-pot of a linotype or other type-casting machine by causing a used line or bar of type to be dropped into the melting-pot for every line cast by the machine. A galley 3, filled with lines or bars of type, is supported on a frame consisting of a bar 2 and brackets 1, 1<a> which are attached to the frame of the casting-machine. On account of its weight, the galley is first placed on the front side of the brackets, and is then moved into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, where it is held by a thumb-screw. The lines are advanced in the galley by a plate 4 travelling on a screw 5, which is intermittently rotated by a ratchet-wheel 6 and pawl 8 carried by a lever 7 which is connected by a rod 11 with the second elevator of the linotype machine,. or with another moving part. The plate 4 has two feet 14, 15 which rest on the galley, the foot 15 being rotatable to enable a full galley to be placed in position. The plate 4 has a vertically-sliding plate which can be raised and held by a spring so as to clear the type when the plate 4 is moved back to the starting position. The plate 4 is moved back by disengaging the pawl 8 and rotating the screw 5 by means of a hand-wheel 10. The lines are pushed off the galley on to a sliding platform 18, which conducts them into the melting-pot and is adjusted by means of a spring and a nut 19<a> on a rod 19. When the last line has been pushed off the galley, the plate 4 comes into contact with a plate 21, which is attached to the rod 19 and causes the latter to ring a bell 22. The plate 4 then stops, owing to its having reached the end of the screw 5. Should a line of type fail to slide off the platform 18, the advancing lines will push forward the plate 21 and ring the bell. The plate 21 then raises a catchlever 24 and, acting through a spring 25 and rod 26, pushes a rod 23 into the path of the deliverycarriage safety-lever of the linotype-machine. The melting-pot is provided with a lid having a shoot extending up to the edge of the galley.
