Abstract: 20,521. Ward, A., and Gent, A. S. Sept. 9. Lasting. - Toe and s i d e grippers are mounted on levers m, which carry pivot pins inserted in stationary parts of the framing b, the pivots 26 of the side grippers being adapted to be moved up and down independently, to position the upper on the last, by hand-levers 25, Fig. 3, which are connected to the lower ends of the pivots. The weight of the levers m and the parts connected thereto is supported by springs 27. The gripper levers m carry the driving - mechanism for the tacks, which descend from a tack-delivering device through tubes n to recesses beneath plates o clamped on the upper jaws of the grippers, in which they are retained by spring tongues. Each gripper has one jaw fixed to its lever m and a second jaw pivoted to the first, the jaws being normally held open by a spring q. The toe gripper is closed by moving a hand-lever s, which depresses a spring bar r engaging the tail of the movable jaw of this gripper, Similar bars r connected to the movable jaws of the side grippers are moved endways to close these grippers by the movement of a frame t, to which they are yieldingly connected through rods u and springs w. The frame t is normally drawn towards the front of the machine by springs x, but is forced backwards by the operation of a face cam on a cam - block l acting through a roll y and a movable shaft z carrying the frame t. The frame t carries inclined plates 1, which, in the backward movement of the frame, engage rolls 2 adjustably fitted to the rear ends of the levers m and cause the gripper levers to swing about their pivots 26, thus drawing the upper over the face of the last, which is held in a vertical position on the shoe-rest 19. The frame t is also connected to catches 11, which are adapted to engage with projecting nuts 12 on the strikers 5 for the tacks, and to move these backwards against the pressure of spiral springs 8, Fig. 3, acting on tumblers 6. The tension of the springs may be adjusted. The catches 11 are tripped, when the tacks are to be driven, by rollers 14 carried by a hoop 15 mounted on a slide 16 in the front of the machine and adapted to be moved by a cam on the front end of the shaft i. The shoe-rest 19 is a fork-shaped device carried at the end of a short spindle 20 slidingly mounted in a guide 21 and adapted to be forced forward by a cam-face on the camblock l engaging a roll 22 projecting from the spindle 20. The backward movement of the rest is effected by the pressure of the work, and is limited by a stop-plate 23 adjustably secured to the rest by a set-screw 24.

Title: Improvements in Typographical Composing and Distributing Machines.
Inventor: ELLIOTT WILLIAM EBENEZER
IPC: B41B7/16
Filed: 1913-10-08
Granted: 1914-10-08
Abstract: 22,720. Elliott, W. E. Oct. 8. Assembling and distributing matrices; magazines; escapements. - Relates to machines having a number of stationary magazines, a single fixed distributor and a single adjustable assembler entrance. (1) The escapements 18, Fig. 2, are operated by a series of hammers 19 pivoted on an axis 21 in a frame 22, which can be raised and lowered by means such as a hand-lever 29 to enable the escapements of any magazine to be operated. The hammers are operated by angle-levers 23 from the usual keyboard - mechanism 25. (2) The assembler entrance 33 and the travelling belt 34 are carried by the movable frame 22, and deliver the matrices to one or other of a series of ports 38 in a fixed shoot 39 leading to the assembler 40. The driving-pulley of the belt 34 is splined upon a long shaft 45. (3) The matrices, which have characters in opposite edges, are inverted, when necessary, by a device 47 of known form which is modified to clear magazine-indicating teeth 15, Fig. 1, on the matrices. (4) Re-inversion of inverted matrices. The head of the second elevator is provided with a bar 58, Fig. 3, carried by a shaft 60 and having a dovetailed groove which receives lugs 14, Fig. 1, on the inverted matrices. As the elevator rises, the bar 58 rotates and re-inverts the inverted matrices, which are brought into a position with their distributiog-notches 3 in contact with a V-shaped bar 57. The normal matrices are pushed off the toothed bar 56 into the distributor-box in the usual way ; the bar 57 is then moved into alinement with the distributorbox and the re-inverted matrices are pushed into it by a second stroke of the pusher, (5) Preventing distribution to wrong magazine. The leading matrix of a line in the distributor-box is pushed down by a depressor on to a series of blades 114, Fig. 7, which co-operate with the teeth 15 of the matrices, and prevent the descent of a matrix differing in fount from the preceding one. The passage of matrices to the distributor is thereby stopped until all of the preceding matrices have fallen from the distributor-bar. The failure of a matrix to descend causes a magazine-changing clutch-disk 135 to make a half-rotation. When all the preceding matrices have left the distributor-bar, an electric circuit is broken and mechanism is brought into operation to cause the disk 135 to complete its rotation. A cam on the disk thereupon unlocks the blades 114 so that the arrested matrix is permitted to descend, the blades being locked again in their new arrangement. A second cam on the disk permits the magazine previously in use to be closed by a spring-pressed shutter 224, and opens the magazine appropriate to the matrix of the new fount.
