COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Type-distributing Apparatus.
I, JOHN BYRON ODELL, residing at Chicago, in the County of Cook, in the State
of Illinois, United States of America, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN TYPE DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS," and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :--
My present invention has for its object to provide a simple, cheap and effective
apparatus whereby the distribution of type, that has been set for printing purposes, can
be readily effected. To this end, my invention consists in the various novel features of
construction hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and
particularly pointed out in the claims at the end of this Specification.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is
a view in vertical longitudinal section, the view being taken at one side of the galley.
that sustains the type to be distributed. Fig. 3 is a view in cross section (parts being
shown in front elevation) through the machine, the section being taken at a point in
front of the type-carrying galley. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the type-conduits and their
sustaining and operating mechanism, the upper portion of the machine being removed.
Fig. 5 is a detail plan view of the pocket plate whereby the type are directed into their
proper channels. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the annular channel plate beneath the
pocket plate. Fig. 7 is an enlarged plan view of the type-sustaining galley, and the
mechanism for ejecting the type therefrom. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a
false plate for directing the type into the appropriate cells of the type case.
A designates the lower portion of the main casing of the machine within which will
be sustained the key-levers that serve to control the movements of the parts whereby
the distribution of the type is effected, and from this portion of the casing rises
suitable standards A¹ and A' whereby is sustained the galley for holding the type to be
distributed, the mechanism whereby the feeding forward of the type and the apparatus
of the individual type from the mass is effected, and the receiving hopper L into which
the type are successively thrown from the galley. The front part of the base portion A
is preferably furnished with a key-board A³ through which project the stems 2 of the
keys B whereby the operation of the key-levers is effected, these stems being encircled
by the springs 3 which serve to hold the keys and key-levers in the normally retracted
position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. To the stein 2 of each of the keys B
is connected the key lever B', the rear end of this lever being pivotally attached as
at 4, to suitable lugs 5 that project inwardly from the main casing. Each of the
key-levers B has connected thereto, as at 6, a rod 7, the upper end of which is of
yoke-shape, and is pivotally connected, as at 8, to a distributing conduit or carrier C,
preferably of tubular construction, this distributing conduit being pivotally sustained,
as at 9, between suitable lugs 10, that project from the annular plate 11 sustained by
the standards 12 fastened to the ring 13 that rests upon, and is fastened to the base
plate A of the machine. The distributing conduits or carriers C are preferably
arranged as shown, in annular series, and in such position with respect to the hopper L
that when any key B is depressed, its corresponding conduit C will be brought
beneath and coincident with the hopper to receive the type as it drops therefrom.
The ring 13 is by preference provided upon its upper face with an annular groove
to receive the pocket piate D, this pocket plate being held by suitable straps 15 within
the annular groove of the ring, in a manner permitting the plate to be moved freely
for a purpose, to be presently stated. The pocket plate D is provided with a series of
pockets d, preferably of funnel-shape, and beneath this pocket plate, and suitably
bolted to the base-plate A* of the machine is located, what for convenience, may be

page_text: termed the guide plate E, preferably of annular shape, in which is formed a series of
shutes or openings e, e¹ and e³, arranged in close proximity to each other, the shute or
opening e of the series passing directly through the plate, while the shute e¹ passes
downwardly and outwardly, and the shute e downwardly and inwardly. This preferred
arrangement of the shutes or openings is adopted because it enables me to more con-
veniently connect therewith the discharge conduits F that lead from the shutes
through a suitable false plate or cover FT beneath which will be placed the case G,
into which the type will be distributed. The individual type, as they are detached
from the mass sustained within the galley, are received by the distributing conduits C
in manner to be presently explained, and are directed by these conduits into pockets d
of the pocket plate D. When this pocket plate D is at its normal position, the
pocket d will be coincident with the central shute e of the series of shutes beneath it,
but when it is desired to move the pocket plate in order to bring the pocket d above
either the shute e¹ or the shute e³, this can be effected by means of a shifting bar D',
that extends through the front of the casing A and is provided with a suitable
handle D, by which the shifting bar can be moved against the force of the springs D
which serve to hold the shifting bar in a normally central position. My purpose in
thus arranging the pocket plate D so that it can be moved to bring the pockets d
above either one of the series of discharge shutes or openings is to simplify the
machine and permit a single key-lever and key and distributing conduit to be used
for effecting the distribution of several different letters or characters; and it is plain
from the construction as thus far defined, that each of the keys B and its corre-
sponding distributing conduit C can be used for the distribution of three different
characters or letters. Thus, for example, by reference to Fig. 1, it will be seen that
the key B is marked with the characters "A," "a" and the comina, and this key can
therefore be used for the distribution of either of these three characters. As the
ณ
"
letter " a " is of more frequent occurrence than either the letter "A" or the comma,
the central shute or opening e above which the pocket plate D will be normally held,
will be used for the reception of this letter", ," while the shutes e and e³ will be used
respectively for the letter "A" and the comma. Hence it will be seen that if the
pocket plate D be in the normal position shown in the drawings, and the key-lever B
be operated so as to cause the discharge into the top of the type conduit C (in manner
to be presently defined) of the type carrying the letter "a," this type will be directed
by the conduit C into the pocket d corresponding to such conduit, and will fall thence
through the shute or opening e into the discharge conduit F, whence it will pass into
the corresponding cell of the type case G. If now, a type bearing the letter "A
occurs in the distributing operation, the shifting bar D will be moved to the right
until the pocket d is brought above and coincident with the shute or opening e' and
will be there held by the operator until the type bearing the letter "A" has passed
through the distributing conduit C into the pocket d, and thence through the shute or
opening e¹ and the discharge conduit F into its appropriate cell of the type case G.
In like manner also, by moving the shifting bar D₁ in opposite direction, a corre-
sponding movement of the pocket plate D can be effected to bring the pocket d above
and coincident with the shute or opening e adapted to receive the type bearing the
comma, the distribution of which type can be effected in manner above described.
The operator can easily hold the shifting bar D' until the type has been directed into
its appropriate shute or opening of the guide plate E, after which the springs D³ will
serve to restore the pocket plate to its normal position. It will be observed that the
pockets d of the pocket plate D are expanded at their tops to ensure the entrance
therein of the type, notwithstanding the shifting of the pocket plate in manner above
defined.
The mechanism whereby the mass of type to be distributed is sustained, and
whereby the types are separately taken therefrom and delivered into the distributing
conduits C, will next be described. Between the standards A' and A2 extends a top
plate A', a portion of which is preferably depressed as at 20, (see Figs. 1 and 7) and
from such depressed portion rise the side plates 21 and 22, between which will be

page_text: sustained the mass of type to be distributed. The side plate 21 is a fixed plate, but
by preference the side plate 22 is laterally movable in order to enable the galley to
accommodate different widths of columns of type, and this adjustment of the side
plate 22 may be conveniently effected by attaching to such plate the guide rods 23
that pass through suitable brackets 24 fixed to the top plate A' of the machine, the
position of the rods within the brackets being controlled by set screws 25. The
column of type when set within the galley will rest upon a false galley bottom H,
the under side of which is provided with a rack bar h, whereby the advancement of
the column of type, one line at a time, is effected in manner to be presently described.
The front of the galley wherein the type are held, consists of a fixed plate 26, suitably
connected at one end by an extension, to a block X that is attached to the top
plate A, as seen in Fig. 7, and this front plate 26 is separated from the side plate 21
a sufficient distance to permit the passage of the type, and from the side plate 22 a
sufficient distance to admit the feed bar K, whereby the line of type being distributed
is forced normally against a stop plate 27 that rises from the top plate A³ at a point
opposite the space between the side plate 21 and front plate 26 of the galley, and
adjacent the hopper L through which the type will fall into the distributing conduits,
as will presently appear. That part of the front plate 26 next to the hopper L is
cut away, and in front of this cut away portion of the plate 26 extends the guard
plate M. This guard plate is mounted upon a rod 30 that is sustained in a manner
free to move by the bearings 31 affixed to the front plate 26, the reduced portion
of this rod 30 being encircled by a coiled spring 32 that serves to force the guard
plate normally forward in position to obstruct the cut-away space of the front plate 26,
and prevent the accidental escape of type therefrom. The rear end of the feed bar K
is provided with the rack bar K', with which will engage a gear-wheel K² that is
mounted upon a shaft 35 sustained by the hangers 36 beneath the top plate of the
machine. Upon the shaft 35 is also mounted a coiled spring 37, and a pinion 38, the
coiled spring 37 tending to normally force the gear-wheel K in the direction of
the arrow, Fig. 3, and consequently to cause the feed-bar K to press the front line
of type against the stop plate 27 at the opposite side of the galley. The pinion 38,
on the other hand, engages with a segment gear plate O that is pivotally sustained
by a hanger 40 depending from the under side of the top plate A³ of the machine,
this segment gear plate when operated by mechanism to be presently described,
serving to retract the feed bar to position for engaging a new line of type. From
this construction, it will be seen that when the column of type has been placed
within the galley, as shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings, the back-plate 28 of the false
galley bottom H, will serve to press the type forward against the front plate 26 of
the galley, and, at the same time, the feed-bar K, by reason of the action of the coiled
spring 37, will force the front line of the column of type against the guard plate 27
at the front left hand corner of the galley. This guard plate 27 is located at one
side of the side plate of the galley a distance equal to or slightly greater than the
width of the largest size of type to be distributed; and so, also, the front plate 26 of
the galley is cut away to an extent equal to or greater than the largest size of type to
be distributed, so that when the front line of type are in the position shown in Fig. 7,
the end type of the line can be forced away from the remaining type, and discharged
from the galley and into the type-receiving hopper L.
The mechanism whereby the individual type will be successively removed from
the galley and delivered into the receiving hopper L, will next be described: Upon
the outer face of the side plate 21 of the galley is fastened the plate 50 that is
recessed to form a suitable way within which will slide the shank 51 of the
releasing bar P; the outer end of this bar being preferably furnished with the
fingers that extend above and below the line of type, and are provided with
the inclined faces p₁ to engage with the front edge of the guard plate M (see
Figs. 1, 2 and 7). The outer face of the releasing bar P is provided with the lugs 52
within which is held in a manner free to move, the shank r of the discharge
finger R, a coiled spring 53 that encircles this shank and bears against the fixed

page_text: stop thereon, serving to force the discharge finger R normally towards the receiving
hopper L. The releasing bar P and the discharge finger R are operated by each
of the key levers of the machine, through the following mechanism: To the rear end
of the shank 51 of the releasing bar P is connected, as at 54, the upper end of a bell-
crank lever 55, this lever being pivoted, as at 56, within an arm 57 that projects from
a bracket 58 depending from the under side of the top plate of the machine, and
to the short arm of this bell-crank lever 55 is attached, as at 59, the upper end
of a rod 60 that is guided by the arms 61 projecting from the bracket 58, and the
lower end of this rod is fastened to a transverse bar S that extends beneath all the
type-levers B¹ (see Figs. 2 and 3), so that when either of the levers is depressed,
a corresponding depression of the bar S will occur. Hence, it will be seen that
when either of the key-levers B¹ is operated by the depression of its corresponding
key B, the transverse bar S will be depressed, and the bell-crank lever will be swung
in such manner as to cause a forward movement of the releasing bar P, and the
discharge finger R. As the discharge finger R is thus moved forward, it bears
upon the rear edge of the type at the extreme end of the front line, the finger
being made of a thickness not to exceed that of the thinnest type, and continues
to press against this type until the inclined ends p₁ of the releasing bar P contact
with the end of the guard plate M, and move this plate backward against the force
of the spring 32 a sufficient distance to permit the type against which the discharge
finger bears, to escape. During this forward movement of the releasing bar R, the
spring 53 has been exerting its force upon the stop r¹, affixed to the shank r of the
discharge finger, tending to force this finger forward, and consequently as soon as
the guard plate M has been moved back by the releasing bar P a distance equal
to the width of the type against which the discharge finger is bearing, the spring 53
will force the discharge finger R suddenly forward, causing it to instantly throw the
type into the type receiving hopper L. This feature of providing the releasing bar
with a bevelled portion or portions, p, for forcing backward the guard plate M is of
importance as it ensures that the guard plate shall be moved back at each operation
a distance corresponding to the width of the type against which the discharge finger
is pressing, so that as soon as the guard plate has moved backward to such extent,
the discharge finger will instantly eject the type, and by its forward movement will
prevent the passage of any other type from the galley until the next succeeding key
has been struck. It is plain, from the construction as hereinbefore described, that
the operation of the key-lever which has served to cause the discharge of the type
into the receiving hopper L, will also cause the corresponding delivery conduit C to
be brought beneath the bottom of the delivery hopper in order to receive the type
as it drops from the hopper. Each of the delivery conduits C is by preference
provided at its upper end with a check plate or stop c, adapted to engage with the
bottom of the delivery hopper L, when the mouth of the conduit C has been brought
coincident with the bottom of the hopper, and thus arrest the further inward movement
of the conduit.
The operator, seated in front of the key-board of the machine, can readily read the
type within the galley and by striking the proper keys, can successively discharge
into the receiving hopper L the type as they are forced to the extreme left-hand side
of the galley, by the feed-bar K. Thus, for example, if at the left-hand side of the front
line of type, there should occur the words "the State of Illinois," the operator reading
these words, would first depress the key-lever marked with the letter "t," thereby
causing the conduit C, adapted to receive the type marked with such letter to be swung
beneath and coincident with the bottom of the receiving hopper L. At the same
time, the depression of the key-lever B would cause a downward movement of the
transverse bar S, and a forward movement of the releasing bar P and the discharge
finger R, so that as soon as the releasing bar P had forced backward the guard plate M
a distance equal to the thickness of the type bearing the letter "t," the discharge
,finger R would thrust forward the type into the receiving hopper I, whence it will
pass into the conduit C and thence, by the pocket D, the shute or opening e and the

page_text: discharge conduits F into the appropriate cell of the type case G. The operator
would thus successively strike the keys until the words "State of" and the spacing
types had been distributed, when the type bearing the letter "I" would be brought
next to the stop plate 27, and into position to be thrown into the receiving hopper
by the discharge finger R. He would then first move to the right the shifting lever D'
in order to bring the pocket d of the pocket-plate D above and coincident with the
shute or opening el corresponding to the capital letter "I" and at the same time he
would strike the appropriate key B, thereby causing the type marked with the
letter "I" to be thrown into the receiving hopper L, whence it would pass into the
appropriate delivery conduit C, and thence into the pocket. d, the shute e', and
the discharge conduit F to its upper cell in the type case G. The shifting lever D¹
would then be released and would be restored by the springs D³ to the proper
position to bring the pockets d of the pocket plate above the central shute or
opening after which the operator would proceed to successively strike the keys
without moving the shifting lever D' until in the operation, a type was presented, such
as a capital letter or punctuation mark, which might require the shifting of the pocket
plate. This operation of distributing the type would be continued until the feed-bar K
had forced the last type of the front line against the stop plate 27, and such type
had been thrown, by the discharge finger R, into the receiving hopper L, after
which it would be necessary to withdraw the feed-plate K from in front of the column
of type, in order to permit this plate to bear upon the end of the next succeeding
line, and to permit the column of type to be forced forward by the back plate 28
of the false bottom H of the galley.
The feed-bar K will be withdrawn from in front of the column of type in order
to engage the next succeeding line, by the depression of the rearwardly extending
end o of the segment gear-plate O, this depression of the rear end of the segment
gear-plate causing a rotation of the pinion 38, and a consequent rotation of the
shaft 35 and gear-wheel K³, against the action of the coiled spring 37, until
the feed-bar K has passed completely from out the galley. The rocking move-
ment of the segment gear-plate, necessary to cause this backward movement of
the feed-bar K is effected by a feed-lever T, that is pivoted, as at 70, to suitable
lugs 71 upon the rear standard A' of the machine, and extends from and bears
upon the arm of the segment gear-plate; the front end of this feed-lever T
being preferably bent downward, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2, and provided
with a suitable key T¹. In order to advance the column of type the distance
of one line after the feed-bar K has thus been withdrawn from the galley, I prefer to
attach to the feed-lever T a finger t, which shall contact with the lower end 80 of a
feed-arm W, that is pivoted, as at 81, to a suitable bracket 82 projecting inwardly
from the standard A₁ of the machine, this feed arm W being held normally retracted
by a coiled spring 83, and being provided at its upper end with a feed-pawl 84 that is
forced by a suitable plate spring 85 into normal engagement with the teeth of the rack-
bar h affixed to the under side of the false bottom H of the galley. With this rack-
bar h will also engage a check pawl 86 that is pivotally sustained by the brackets 87
depending from the top plate of the machine, and is forced into engagement with the
rack-bar by a suitable spring 88. The feed-finger t of the feed-lever T is made of
such length that it will not act upon the feed armi W until the feed-lever T has been
so far depressed as to cause the segment gear plate O and the connected parts, to force
the feed-bar K completely out of the galley; but when the feed-bar has thus been
withdrawn from the galley, the feed-finger t, by its contact with the feed arm W, will
force this feed arm and its connected pawl 84, to move forward the false bottom H of
the galley and with it, the column of type, a distance sufficient to bring the next line
of type against the front plate 26 of the galley. The feed-lever T will then be released
by the operator, and a spring 37 will force tbe feed-bar K against the front line of
type, causing the type at the extreme left-hand end of the line to bear against the stop
plate 27 where it will be in position to be thrown into the receiving hopper L in the
manner hereinbefore described.

page_text: I wish it distinctly understood that my invention is not restricted to the details of
construction above set out, since these may be varied widely by the skilled mechanic
without departing from the spirit of the invention. Thus, for example, the distributing
conduits or carriers C, whilst preferably of tubular shape, and arranged in the manner
shown, may be of other construction or arrangement, it being within the scope of my
invention to modify the construction and arrangement so long as the conduits or
carriers are employed operated by keys, that serve to bring them successively into
position to receive the types as they are separated from the mass within the galley.
So, also, certain features of the invention may be employed without its adoption as an
