Title: Improvements in Key Mechanism for Type Setting and Linotype Machines.
Inventor: MCCLINTOCK FRANK
Filed: 1899-11-07
Granted: 1900-03-31
Abstract: 22,294. McClintock, F. April 22, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Type, setting; linotype machines.-Relates to key mechanism for controlling the ejection of types or matrices from their channels 1. The ejector rods 3, which push the lowest types through openings 2 to the mechanism for conveying them to the point of assemblage, are fixed to pistons 4 movable in cylinders 5, and are fitted with springs 6 which return them from the position shown in Fig. 2 to that shown in Fig. 1. The pistons are driven by compressed air or gas which is admitted to the cylinders from a reservoir 7 through passages 9<a> and 13 when the valves 10 are depressed by the corresponding key levers 16<a>. The valves 10 are perforated at 14 to allow the air to escape from the cylinders when the valves are returned to their seats by the springs 11. These springs are adjustable by screws 12 for regulating the pressure or " touch " required for operating the keys. Leather washers or caps 9<b> make tight joints for the valves and reduce noise in their operation. When an ejector rod is not thrown out far enough to eject a type, or when the last type has been ejected and the block 19 rests on the bottom of a channel, the corresponding key is prevented from rising by the following means :-A. rod 17 actuated by a spring presses upon the valve 10, and entering into the passage 14 prevents the valve from returning. In normal working the end of the rod 17 is engaged by the piston 4, Fig. 2, and the rod is thereby prevented from entering the passage 14. A modified construction of valves is also described in the Specification.

Loom shuttle-changing mechanism; change-box motions.-Means are provided for automatically changing the shuttles on failure of weft, either for shuttles of the same colour when weaving plain fabrics, or for shuttles of another colour when weaving striped or checked fabrics. An ordinary weft-fork 22 is operated on failure of weft by a weft-hammer 24 on a shaft 25, which is oscillated by an arm 26 from a cam 26<a> on the bottom shaft 3. This causes the slide 20 to operate a lever arm 27 on a shaft 28, which has another arm 29 to carry a pivoted pawl for actuating a pattern drum on the shaft e. Another arm 66 on the shaft 25 carries a pivoted pawl 65 for actuating an auxiliary pattern chain E<3>. Either the pattern drum or the chain lifts an arm, such as 67, and by means of a lever a<2> and link a<5> controls the shuttle-changing mechanism B and causes it to bring the required shuttle into position in the holder B<1>. The pins carried by the pattern drum act upon the arm 67 of a pivoted lever a<2>, which is connected by means of a link a<5> to anchor wings D mounted to vibrate upon a plunger C. A rotary ball C' is mounted upon the slotted upper end of the plunger, and bears against a cam C<1> secured to a shaft G, which passes through the slotted plunger. The ball C<2> is adjustable for the purpose of regulating the movement of the plunger. The shuttle-box lever is constructed of two equal sections b, b<1>, secured together, the inner end of each section being bevelled downwards and outwards. The lever is mounted upon a spindle C<3> extending from the framing through the slotted plunger. Each lever section is provided with a notched sector d<1>, and also with a vertical projection E, these projections being connected by a spring E'. The lever section b is connected to the shuttle box 13, and the section b<1> is provided with a weight.
