Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, (a communication to me
from Thomas K. Hinshillwood, of the City and County of Philadelphia, State of
Pennsylvania, in the United States of America,) and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures
and letters marked thereon:-
The invention relates to improvements in type casting machines, and consists :-
First, of mechanism as hereinafter described for regulating the size of the type
recess in the mould and thereby determining the width of the type that is being
cast.
It further consists of a novel mechanism for removing the type from the
mould.
It further consists of means for trimming or rubbing off the shoulders on the face
end of the type.
It further consists of the combination of parts hereinafter described.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates the frame of a type casting machine
consisting of a base portion 13 and a bed C, the latter having supporting plates or
uprights D, which are firmly secured to the base B by the screw bolts E. A
driving shaft F is mounted in the standards & secured on the said base B, and has
thereon the belt pulley FL and the hand wheel J for rotating the same. K designates
a fire pot or reservoir for molten metal secured on the sliding bed L, which latter
is movable in the ways M to and from bed C of the frame A. Pivotted to the top
wall of the reservoir K is a lever N for operating the plunger P of the reservoir.
The outer end of the said lever N is provided with a roller Q, which is engaged by
a cam R on the driving shaft F, so as to lower the said lever and thereby lower
the plunger and force à supply of molten material through the nozzle S of the
reservoir.
The contents of the reservoir are heated by any suitable means, but as the parts

page_text: of the reservoir, and the mechanism for operating the same, are old and well
known and are not claimed per se, the same are not further described herein.
T designates a mould adapted to be attached to the bed C of the frame and held
firmly therein. The mould T is composed of the body sections U and U', which
are separated so as to form between them a space V, in which the body of the type
is cast, and the lower sections W W having the intervening and connecting side
pieces XX, between which operates the rising and falling sliding body piece Y of
the mould, which is also adapted to enter the said space V, rising so as to be flush
with the top of the body sections U and U₁ for a purpose hereinafter explained.
To raise the sliding body piece Y, a lever Z is employed, the same having an
axis K which is journalled in a standard A¹ on the base B, and has one of its ends
provided with an adjustable stud 13 adapted to contact with and be lowered by a
cam-C on the driving shaft F. The other end of said lever has an adjustable stud
or cushion D adapted to contact with and raise the said sliding piece. A spring E
secured to the sliding piece Y and the base B, normally lowers the said piece,
keeping it in contact with said stud D', which consists of an elastic bead and a
screw stem, the latter being inserted in said lever Z. To adjust the position of the
end of the lever which is in contact with the sliding piece Y, and thereby regulate
the descent, of the latter and consequently the depth of the recess V, and thereby
the size of the body of the type, an adjustable stop is provided, the same consisting
of a bolt vertically moveable in a hollow block and having a projecting stud Hi
on its side, which works in a slot J of the said block. In one side of the block G¹
is a recess, forming a shoulder K', between which and the projecting end of the
stud H', a metallic piece or strip L' of the size of the font of type to be cast is
placed, thus lowering the bolt F so as to properly regulate its position and thereby

in an opening in the side of the block G' has its inner end bearing against the
bolt to clamp the same in place, and a spring N in the block serves to keep the
bolt raised therein.
P designates a horizontally sliding piece or arm located above, the bed C and
provided with a depending block Q moveable on the body sections U U₁ of the
mould and adapted to cover the recess V thereof while the molten metal enters the
same from the reservoir K. In the front end of the arm P1 is secured a block Q*,
see Figures 1, 5, 6 and 7, having a recessed under face adapted to receive a type
when the latter is raised to the top of the mould. To adjust the said block Q*,
which is moveable vertically in said arm P, the latter is provided with a longitudinal
groove R', see Figure 7, in which a clamping arm S' is moveable, said arm having
an inclined or bevelled under face Sx on its front end adapted to contact with and
bear on an inclined top portion P³ of the block Q. The spring T¹ connected with
the underside of the arm P, and bearing against a recessed portion of the underside
of the block Q, keeps the latter in place. To operate the arm St, the saine is
provided with a projecting screw bolt V₁ passing through a slot X' in the side of
the arm P, and provided with a head adapted when rotated to bind against the
outer face of said arm P¹ and thereby hold the arm S' in place in said arm P.
The arm P is mounted on a stud Y projecting horizontally from a block 7', so as
to rotate thereon, and the block Z is mounted on a vertical pin A² of a sliding
arm B2, which is horizontally moveable in the ways C2 on the bed C. To the side
of the block Z' is pivotally secured a spring D2, which is adapted to bear against a
pin E on the arm B2, and when in engagement therewith, prevents the turning of
the block Z' on the pin A2, thereby keeping the arm " in line during its recipro-
cating movements, but permitting, when it is released, the turning of the block Z
on the pin A, and thereby the removing of the arm P' from over the parts U
and Uof the mould, so that the said arm P' may be rotated on the stud Y
whereby all parts thereof may be readily accessible for cleansing or other
purposes.
The opening in the block through which the pin A is passed, is elongated in

page_text: horizontal section, so that the block can be adjusted laterally relative to the
rm B. The block is secured in place, when so adjusted, by means of a plate Q³,
which is secured on said block and which has an opening in which the pin A²
snugly fits, and the slots R³, see Figure 2, for the insertion of the fastening
Screws S³. A spiral spring S on the pin A2, hearing against the plate Q³,
and a nut Q on said pin, holds the block in close contact with a nut Q on
the pin.
To operate the arm B, and thereby the arm P¹, in a horizontal direction, the
said arm B is provided with a depending lug F, see Figure 5, moveable in a
slot Fx in the bed C, and to which is attached a pivotted block Gadapted to fit
and move in a recessed portion H2 of a lever J. The said lever is pivotted at its
lower end to the frame A of the machine, and has an adjustable pin K projecting
from one side and having a roller thereon in contact with a cam L² on the driving
shaft F, so that the rotation of said shaft with the said cam, moves the said lever,
and thereby the said arms 12 and P1, in one direction. To return the lever J2,
and thereby the said arms B2 and P1, a lever M2 is pivotted to a side plate D of
the frame, and connected at one end to the lever by a rod N2, and at the other
end by a spring P2 to the base B. To insure the initial portion of the return
movement, the lever M² is provided with a projecting arm Q2, which is adapted to
be engaged by the cam 2 on the shaft at the end of the forward movement of
the lever J, so as to operate the lever M2 and start the return of the said
lever J.
An adjustable screw M* working in a socket N* on the bed C, limits the return
movement of the arm B².
To insure the close contact of the blocks Q and Q* with the top of the mould
the front end of an upper attachment or portion P of the arm P is bevelled as
at K, and the horizontal flange 1 of a vertical attachment M of the frame is
provided with an opening having therein a stem N', carrying in its bifurcated lower
end a roller P adapted to ride on the top of the portion Px and be pressed or
forced against the same by the spring R which is attached to the Hange L
Secured to the upper end of the stem is a cam lever S, adapted to raise the said

movement of the arm P1, a stop consisting of a wedge T₁, with a stem vertically
adjustable in the flange L, is provided, said wedge having an inclined face adapted
to contact with the bevelled end K.
The matrix R2, which is of any usual and well known form, for the face portion
of the type, is horizontally secured in a piece or holder S2, by means of a plate U*
attached to a clamping screw piece T². The said piece S' is fastened to an
arm U2 by means of a vertical dove-tail connection and a binding screw V. The
arin U2 has a projecting portion W2 in which an adjusting screw X2 operates, the
same bearing against one end of the matrix R2. The arm U is provided with a
stem or journal Y2, which is fitted in a block Z moveable on a dove-tail rib or
flange A on the bed C, and is adjusted in position by means of the vertical
screws B³ which work in the block 2³, one being on each side of the journal Y,
and each having the under face of its head bearing against the top of the arm U
A clamping screw C³ in the side of the block Z2 binds the journal of the arm U³
in place. To move the block 3, and thereby the matrix R2, to and from the
mould, the said block is provided with a vertical depending stud D³ mounted in a
projecting side portion thereof, and having thereon a roller F³, which is engaged
by a bevelled or inclined portion G³ on the side of a sliding bar H. The said bar
is provided with bearings in the vertical plates D of the frame, and in a hanger Ex
of said frame, and has a depending lug J³ which carries an adjustable pin K³
provided with a roller at one end, which is engaged by a cam L³ on the driving
shaft F. A spring M³ secured to the frame and to the arm J³ on the bar H³,
An adjustable screw H*

moveable in a socket J* on a plate D, limits the movement of the sliding bar on its
return.

page_text: Pivotted in a block Tx on the bed C, and in advance of the mould, is a flat
piece T3, having its front edge normally raised above the top of the mould by
means of a spring Us located beneath the same, whereby, when the type has
been advanced towards the breaker V3 by the block Q*, they are kept in proper
alignment on the said bed. Secured to a suitable support W on the bed C,
in advance of the plate T3, and to the block Tx, are the adjustable knives or
cutters X³, for rubbing the shoulder or burr on the face of the type. The said
support W³ is vertically adjustable on a stud Y3 on the bed C, being guided
on said stud by the pins Z3, and clamped in place by the nut A. On the side
of the said support and opposite the cutters, is a projecting arm, which forms
the breaker V3 for removing the jets 13 of the type as the latter are forced
against the same by the movement of the arm P¹.
C designates a pusher, having its upper portion projecting above an attach-
ment of the bed C, on which the type are dropped after being operated on by
the cutters X³. The said pusher is connected with the sliding bar H³, so that
the movement of the said bar is imparted to the pusher and the type thereby
advanced on the frame to the dresser D', which latter is provided with the
upper and lower knives E and F respectively, the upper knives being secured
to an adjustable plate G moveable in guides or ways on a standard H* secured
to a suitable part of the frame, but as the dresser per se forms no part of this
invention, not being claimed herein, and as any dresser may be employed in
connection with the other parts of the mechanism herein described, no further
description of the same is believed to be necessary.
A latch J is pivotted to the side of the lever Z and has its free end provided
with a concave under portion normally resting on the shaft or axis K* of the
lever between the lever and the support, so as to keep the said lever in place,
but when sufficiently lifted or raised from said axis, permits a sidewise move-
ment of the lever on its shaft, so as to free it from contact with the sliding
piece Y and thereby allow the further lowering or the removal of the said
sliding piece from the mould.
In the upper face of the section U₁ of the mould are the recesses Zx for holding
oil or other lubricating material, and the walls of the recesses V of the mould are
of V shape adjacent to the nozzle S of the reservoir.
The operation of the machine is as follows:-
The various parts are so timed that when the block Q' is over the recess V
of the mould, the sliding piece being lowered, and the block Zwith the
face of the matrix R² against the mould, the molten metal is forced from the
reservoir in the usual and well known manner of devices of this character into
the said recess to form the body of the type. The rotation of the shaft F with
the cam L operates the sliding bar H³, so that the inclined face G³ bears
against the roller F³, and as the latter rides on the said inclined face, the
block Z with the matrix R is removed from the mould, thereby freeing or
exposing the face end of the type. The rotation of the shaft F brings the
cam Cinto contact with the stud B operating the lever Z, so as to raise the
sliding piece Y and thereby lift the newly cast type in the recess V to the level
of the top of the mould, where it is received in the recessed or shouldered
portion on the front portion of the underside of the block Q*, the arm P¹
having been drawn back by the action of the lever J. The further rotation
of the shaft F brings the cam L in contact with the pin K2 of the lever J,
so as to advance the arm P₁ and with it the block Qx, so that the latter
advances the type on the mould over the plate T3, the front edge of which
keeping the type in aligument to and past the knives or cutters X³, so that
two opposite shoulders on one end of each type are rubbed by said cutters.
At the same time that a type is raised from the recess V, the cam L² is also
released from the pin K³ of the sliding bar H³, so that the.cam G³ no longer bears
against the roller F and the block Z is moved by the spring G*, so that the
matrix R is again brought in contact with the mould.

page_text: The forward motion of the sliding bar H³ with the pusher C, moves the type
that have been operated on by the cutters X towards the dresser D.
As soon as the cam C¹ is removed from the stud B', the spring E draws the
sliding piece Y downward, the said piece being limited or controlled in said move-
ment by contact with the lever Z, and the adjusted position of the bolt F¹ in the
block Gi.
The cam L is of such shape as to hold the lever J, and thereby the arm P',
in position, so that the block Q' is over the recess V during the time of the
discharge of the molten metal into said recess from the reservoir K, after which
it releases the said lever so that the said parts may be drawn back by the
action of the spring P2, lever M and rod N2, the contact of the cam L with
the arm Qinsuring the initial or start of the said return movement. At the
same time the spring M³ draws back the sliding bar H³ with the pusher C' to
its normal position.
The parts are successively operated as herein described so that the type are
automatically cast, raised and moved on the mould, one by one, without any inter-
ference of the parts of the device or the assistance of the workman.
The slot D* in the back plate D is for the purpose of permitting a closer approach
of the lever J to the plate, the nut or head of the connecting bolt of the rod N2 and
the said lever moving during the working of the said lever in the said slot.
The pusher C is connected to the bar H3 by means of a block N³, which is
mounted on the said bar and works in an opening in a side plate D and in a recess
in the dresser frame A.
A strong spring B connected to studs C and D on the block and the bar
respectively, cause the said block and bar to normally operate in unison. When it
is required to stop the movement of the pusher without stopping the bar, the
spring catch E is employed, the same consisting of a rotatable pin movable in
bosses on the underside of the bed C and in an opening in the block N³, and having
its inner end engaging in a recess in the portion of the bar on which the said block
is mounted.
The front end of the block Tx is provided with a curved bar F' for guiding the
type as they are dropped or passed downward from the said block Tx to the
pusher.
A curved arm G' pivotted to the dresser frame and held in place by a spring H³
closes one end of the type passage way at the front end of the block Tx.
The base portion B of the block is adjustable on the base B, being moveable
on the rib K on said base and having a slot L' on which a clamping screw M³ is
passed into an opening in the rib. A binding screw No prevents the screw Ms from
turning.
A screw V in the end of the lever Z binds the stud D' in place therein.
Referring to Figures 13, 14, and 15. The type as cast are guided over the
block T until they assume a vertical position, when they are guided between the
upright side of said block and the uprights T TX which rise from the frame of
the machine. Pivotted to said uprights is a depending arm T** against which presses
the spring T T** which secured to the head of said uprights T T*.
C** designates the runway for the type, the same being below the uprights TTx
and having the lower end of the arm Tx projecting thereinto, said runway being in
the line of the pusher C
It will be seen that when the lowermost type reaches the runway, the pusher
advances and presses said type, and the arm T** yields and allows said type to pass
thereunder, whereby it reaches the type already in the runway, and thus the said
type are set truc and may be directed out of the runway to a place of collection.
As soon as a type clears the arm Txx, the latter quickly returns to its normal
position due to the action of the spring T Txx, so that as the next type reaches its
lowermost position, it is controlled by said arm and thus retained in upright
position. The pusher also has meanwhile returned, and it is then ready to advance
and force the lowermost type forward into the runway as before.

page_text: In order to limit the return motion of the arm a pin T**** is employed which is
secured to the uprights T, Tx and acts as a stop against which the arm abuts when
in its normal position.
