Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Composing and Casting Type.
Inventor: GILBERT-STRINGER HENRY JAMES S
IPC: B41B7/16
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-12-05
Abstract: 20,209. Stringer, H. J. S. Gilbert-, and Druitt, P. W. Sept. 3. Assembling matrices; driving - mechanism.-Relates t o assembling- mechanism for single-type composing and casting machines of the kind described in Specifications 1903/00 and 15,468/06. (1) The assembly-box a is shifted laterally from the receiving position opposite the plate l to the discharging position opposite the justifying- raceway h. The box is shifted by means of a cam k<1> on the line-shaft k, which effects the movement of the line of matrices, the cam engaging a lever k<2> having a yielding connexion a<9> with a lever a<8>, which is connected by a link a<7> to a slide a<6> carrying the box. The yielding connexion consists of a spring a<9>, which is interposed between lugs on the levers k<2>, a<8>, the spring being strong enough to move the box under normal conditions, and of sufficient range to absorb the full movement of the lever k<2> if the box is jammed. The spring a<9> is arranged round a bolt a<10>, which serves to adjust the angle between the levers k,<2> a<8>. The box is returned by a spring all. (2) To allow the fixed jaw b<1> of the justifying-vice to close over the matrices, a part a<1> of the front wall of the assembly-box is mounted to slide vertically, and is drawn down when the box is shifted towards the raceway h. The part a<1> is pressed upwards by a spring a<2>, and is drawn downwards when the box shifts by means of a fixed cam a<3>. The rear guiding-wall a<4> of the assembly box is a fixture, being formed on the framework of the machine. The rear wall is formed with a stop-shoulder for the resistant c, which has a part c' projecting close up to the star-wheel c<2>. (3) The resistant c is secured to a rod c<8>, whereon is adjustably mounted a carriage c' having a pointer c<3> which reads over a scale. There are a series of scales corresponding to different founts of type, the scales being formed on the sides of a polygonal bar c<6>, which is rotatably mounted in the frame. Backward movement of the resistant is prevented by means of a pawl c<9>, which is released simultaneously with the driving and locating-pawls f<3>, f<4> of the addendum-rod f by the shifting movement of the assembly-box. The pawls are engaged by cams g<4>, g<5>, g<6>, which are connected by a link g to a lever g<1> having a latch g<3>, which is in the path of a pin a<5> on the assemblybox. The parts c, f, when released, are returned by weights c<10> or by springs. The rod c<8> carries a pointer which registers with a pointer f<1> on the addendum-rod near the completion of the line. The rod c<8> also carries a trip c<7> for operating an alarm-bellf on the addendum-rod.
