Title: Improvements in or relating to Matrix Setting and Type Line Casting Machines.
IPC: B41B7/16
Filed: 1910-04-19
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 9492. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. April 19. Assembling matrices. - Multipleletter matrices for setting mixed copy on a Mergenthaler machine are first arrested in the assembler at the upper level, those required at the lower level or levels falling subsequently through gaps in the receiving-rails. The matrices collect on a portion 8 of the upper receiving-rail 2, Fig. 1, and fall through a gap 33 in the rail unless a slide 40 is inserted to bridge the gap; or the part 9 of the rail may slide to close the gap; or the matrices may be supported over the gap by a slide inserted at the back of the assembler. The rail 2 is provided with a bevelled edge 55 behind the gap, to draw down any matrices that have not fallen sufficiently. To bring the matrices which remain upon the ledge 8 at the end of a line into the lower position if desired, a curved projection 6 on the machine frame and a spring foot 7 on the holding-finger L are arranged to project into the path of the rising assembler. In a modification, Fig. 9, the ledge 8 is replaced by ledges 11 attached to the machine frame, so that the matrices standing thereon fall to the lower position when the assembler rises, being caught by one or more spring arms 16 or by a spring ledge 17, unless a bolt 12 is released so as to hold them in the upper position. The bolt 12 is engaged by an arm 14 on the slidable part 9 of the rail 2 so that it is held out of position when the gap 33 is open, but is in position to support the matrices when the gap 33 is closed. The bolt 12 may be replaced by a pivoted L-shaped lever operated from a curved surface on the rail 9. In another modification, Fig. 13, the matrices are caught on a ledge 26 on the machine frame, and on a slide 4 held in position by a pivoted spring-arm 25 abutting on a stop 24 secured to the frame. When the assembler rises, the matrices on the ledges 4, 26 fall to the lower position, the arm 25 being retracted by a spring 23, unless the gap 33 is closed, in which case the slide 4 is locked in its forward position by a projection on the rail 9.

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 26,633. Lake, H. W., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Nov. 16. Driving printing-machines. - A variablespeed driving-gear for printing-presses, of the kind in which the change from the low to the high speed may be effected without throwing out the low gear, is so constructed that independently - operated clutches are used for putting in the high and low gears. The machine is driven from a gear-wheel 39, Fig. 1, freely mounted on a shaft 10 geared to the driving-motor, and for the high speed the gear 39 is connected to the shaft 10 by means of a clutch member 17 and a movable clutch member 14, which is thrown into action by moving a lever 42 in a clockwise direction; this lever, through link mechanism, operates a rock-shaft 47, which actuates the member 14 through a shifter 49, collar 50, and toggle links 51. The shaft 47 is also connected to a rock-shaft carrying an arm 36, to which is adjustably secured one end of a flexible band brake 31 embracing a pulley on a shaft, which may be geared to the shaft 10 and is constantly geared to the gear 39. This brake is put on by the lever 42, when it has been moved past the reversed position in which it throws out the clutch 14. The low speed is obtained by throwing out the clutch 14, 17, and putting in a similar clutch 28, 27, Figs. 1 and 6, which connects a freely-mounted wheel 25 with the shaft 20. This wheel is driven from the shaft 10 by means of gear-wheels 13, 22, and a series of pawls 26 carried by the wheel 25, which engage a ratchet-wheel 24 secured to the wheel 22. When the clutch 27, 28 is in, the driving- wheel 39 is driven by gearing 29, 16 from the shaft 20. The high-speed gear can be put in without throwing out the low gear, owing to the free mounting of gear 22, and to the capacity of the wheel 25 and its pawls 26 to move relatively to the ratchet 24 on the wheel 22.
