Platen machines.-Relates to the impression and trip mechanism of printing and embossing presses in which the die is mounted on an horizontally reciprocating carriage or on a rocking arm whereby it is moved to be inked and wiped and then moved back again ready for the impression. The dieplunger 6 of the die 4 is raised towards the counterpart 3 at each revolution of the main shaft 10 to give an impression by the toggle 12, 12x operated from the main shaft by means of the cam 17 acting on a bowl 16 on the lower toggle-member 12. The member 12 is pivoted at 12<v> between the side-frames 1 and the upper toggle-link 12<Î> engages at its upper end in a recess 14x in a bearing plate 14 fixed to the plunger-frame 7. After the impression, the frame 7 falls against the stop 20, and the upper end of the toggle-member 12x is disengaged from its recess 14x and moved against supports 14<y> by means of the spring 15 connected to the other toggle-member 12, which at this time is moved to the right by a second cam 18 and bowl 19. The tripping-mechanism comprises a bellcrank 22 oscillated by another cam 24 and carrying a pivoted trigger 26, and a lever 28 provided with a notched plate 29 and linked by a link 30 to the upper toggle-member 12<Î>. With these parts arranged as shown in Fig. 1, the bell-crank alone oscillates, but when the trigger 26 is moved by the hand-operated plate 27 to engage the notch in the plate 29, the end of the toggle-member 12x is moved to the right and displaced from its recess 14<Î> or moved into a shallower recess, and the impression is arrested. In some cases, the bearing- plate 14 may be made slidably displaced by the link 30 to produce the trip. In presses where the counterpart descends on the die to make the impression, the plunger carries the couhterpart, and the actuating-mechanism is arranged above.

Title: Improvements in Typewriter Escapement Mechanism.
Inventor: LOCKWOOD MARQUIS HARTWELL
IPC: B41J19/18
Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 9761. Lockwood, M. H. May 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Letter-spacing mechanism. The escapement comprises a double-dogged pawl pivoted on the dog-rocker, one dog of the pawl being adapted normally to engage with the rack, while the other prevents the escape of more than one tooth at a time, and means, brought into action only when a type-key is held down or when the return of the key is delayed in slow operation. for temporarily detaining the rack from advancing until the key is released to allow the dog-rocker to start on its return movement. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the dog-rocker 11 is pivoted at 20 so as to vibrate transversely to the plane of the escapement-wheel 12, and carries a fixed pawl 21 and a loose pawl 13, which has two dogs 15, 16 and is adapted to move in the plane of the escapement-wheel under the action of a spring 17. The teeth 12<a>, Fig. 3, of the escapement-wheel and the fixed pawl 21 are provided with small inclined surfaces 23, 24 respectively, which come into engagement only when the type-key is fully depressed. The action of the escapement is as follows : -The dog 15 is normally in engagement with the tooth 12<a>, but when released therefrom by the depression of a key. the loose pawl springs forward under the action of the spring 17, and both the surface 24 of the fixed pawl 21 and the dog 16 engage with the tooth, as shown in Fig. 4. On release of the key, the tooth 12<a> is disengaged from the pawl 21, forces back the entire pawl 13 to its original position, Fig. 5, and finally, by the return vibration of the dog-rocker, passes out of engagement with the dog 16, the other dog 15 then coming into engagement with the succeeding tooth. The engagement of the surfaces 23, 24 is just sufficient to detain temporarily the advance of the rack when the key is fully depressed, or at a low speed of operation; but at a high speed of operation the rack is practically free to make the full letter-space movement without interruption. In a modification shown in Fig. 7, the fixed pawl 21 is replaced by a hook-shaped pawl 28 attached to the frame of the dog-rocker. This pawl is adapted, when a type-key is fully depressed and the loose pawl with the dogs 15, 16 has been pulled forward by the spring 17, to hook behind the dog 15 and so temporarily detain the rack from advancing.
