Abstract: 16,899. Heppler, J. M. Aug. 4. Printing in several colours.-A lithographic printing- machine for printing in several colours at one impression is shown in longitudinal elevation, partly in section, in Fig. 1. Above the reciprocating bed B is a roller A, carrying as many patterned plates a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4> as there are colours to be printed; these plates receive their respective colours from inking-apparatus b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, b<4>, and transfer them to a roller c, which again transfers them to an inking-table d, situated on one side of the stone e. The coloured print received by the plate d passes beneath the rollers f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4>, by which the print is transferred to the stone e, before it passes beneath the impression cylinder h carrying the paper to be printed. The stone e rests upon a vertically-adjustable plate g. A rack bar l on the bed of the machine gears with a toothed wheel m<8> mounted upon a shaft n<7>, carrying two wheels m<7>, which are alternately driven by semicircular toothed wheels m<6> set on their shafts n<5>, Fig. 2, at an angle of 180‹ to each other. Upon the shafts n<5> are toothed wheels m<5>, which are driven in opposite directions by toothed gearing m<4>, m<3>, m', m<1>; by this arrangement, the bed of the printing-machine is driven to and fro beneath the rollers c,f<1>, f<2>,f<3>,f<4>, impression cylinder h, and usual damping-rollers o. The rollers c, f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4>, and the roller A, are rotated by means of a rack l<1>, on the bed B, and gearing. for ensuring the engagement of the semicircular wheels m<6> with their corresponding toothed wheels at the proper times, there is provided an oscillating fork v, which engages rollers x on the bed B, and a similar fork y, actuated by means of a slotted sliding rod y<4> and cams y<1>, engages with a roller Z on the impression cylinder h. Each roller f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4> is covered with leather which is secured to a rod inserted in a recess in the roller, and provided with a ratchet and pawl mechanism for use in tightening the covering. The rollers are mounted in eccentric bearings nn arms s<1>, s', s<3>, s<4>, which are carried by bars u which may be operated by a suitable lever mechanism to lift the rollers f &c. so that they clear the stone e and table d as the bed moves to the left from the cylinder h. In a modified form of the machine, the patterned plates are flat and are secured to a rotary prismatic drum which is moved vertically between the inking- apparatus and the roller used for transferring the colours to the ink table.
