Type, setting.-A type-setting machine comprises a type case and a composing-stick, which is adapted to slide horizonzally in front of the channels of the case and to move vertically through a distance equal to the thickness of a type after the reception of each type. The type case a is mounted on trunnions a<1> supported by brackets b which are secured to a table &c. by clamps b<1>. The case is held in a vertical position by catches a<2> but may be tilted to facilitate refilling. The front of the case is formed by a sliding plate e, which, when the machine is in use, is raised so as to leave a space f below its lower edge, through which the types can be ejected. Upon a rod g slides a carriage h, which is guided by a second rod g<1> and supports a vertically-moving slide j, to which a composing-stick i is detachably secured by pins and slots. On the carriage h is pivoted a bell-crank lever k, having at one end a key k<2> and at the other a pusher l, which is adapted to eject the types from the case into the stick. The slide j carries a series of pins m which are engaged by an escapement in the form of two blade springs n, o connected with the lever k so that the stick descends a step after the ejection of each type. Adjustment of the composing-stick in an horizontal direction is facilitated by a pointer q, which moves over a lettered bar r and is adapted to enter holes in the bar. A metal strip f on the carriage h retains the types in the stick. The stick is provided with a series of holes i‹ through which a piece of wire can be inserted at the end of a line of types to hold them in position. The carriage h may be stationary and the type case movable relatively to it, and a cylindrical or partly cylindrical type case may be employed.
