New or Improved Means for Mounting Partitions for Dividing the
Ink Ducts of Printing Machines.
We, THE TAYLOR PROCESS PRINTING SYNDICATE LIMITED, of 106, Golden Lane,
London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to us
from abroad by Francis Cornwall Taylor, of 336, West 22nd Street, in the City,
County, and State of New York, U.S.A., Printer) to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the ink ducts of printing machinery and has for its
object to provide new or improved means for mounting partitions for dividing
the ink ducts of printing machines into a number of separate compartments of
any desired size or variety of sizes for use in colour printing and particularly for
printing in a number of separate colours at one impression.
The present invention is as follows:-
-
The various partitions for dividing the ink duct may be made in the usual or
any suitable manner for instance of the character described in Patent 1108
of 1898 and the present invention relates to new or improved means of mounting
or securing said division pieces or partitions in the ink trough or ink ducts as
follows:
For each partition a separate mount or division is provided the latter consisting
of a clamping device having two downwardly projecting extensions or legs at or
towards the rear end of said device said legs or fork being adapted to fit over and
embrace the top edge of the rear side of the ink trough or duct (or same may
embrace or fit over any plate or mount provided for same and secured to the rear
edge of the ink duct or to the rear thereof) means being provided to clamp and
secure said device or mount firmly in position for instance by means of a pinching
screw screwing through the rearmost leg against the rear side of the ink duct
or support to which said device is clamped.
The forward part of said clamping device extends forwardly across or partly
across the ink duct advantageously in a horizontal direction or thereabouts and
through this part of the clamping device where same extends over the ink duct a
pinching screw or device is screwed by means of any suitable head cross-bar or
handle thereon while the lower end of said pinching screw carries a fork or
"saddle" or other suitable device (to which, same is swivelled or otherwise suit-
ably connected of a character adapted to engage and secure the upper edge of the
division piece or partition-or said pinching screw may be otherwise arranged and
adapted to engage the division piece or partition-so that by screwing down the
said pinching screw thereby the division piece or partition can be firmly fixed
at any desired point in the trough the aforesaid clamping device or mount being
adapted to be clamped or fixed in position on the trough in any desired position.

We, THE TAYLOR PROCESS PRINTING SYNDICATE LIMITED, of 106, Golden Lane,
London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication
from Francis Cornwall Taylor, of 336, West 22nd Street, in the City,
County and State of New York, U.S.A., Printer) and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
This invention relates to the ink ducts of printing machinery and has for its
object to provide new or improved means for mounting partitions for dividing
the ink ducts of printing machines into a number of separate compartments of
any desired size or variety of sizes for use in color printing and particularly for
printing in a number of separate colors at one impression.
:
The present invention is as follows:-
The various partitions for dividing the ink duct may be made in the usual or
any suitable manner for instance of the character described in Patent 1108
of 1898 and the present invention relates to new or improved means of mounting
or securing said division pieces or partitions in the ink trough or ink ducts as
follows:-
For each partition a separate "mount" is provided the latter consisting of a
clamping device having two downwardly projecting extensions or legs at or
towards the rear end of said device said legs or forks being adapted to fit over and
embrace the rear edge of the ink trough or duct (or same may embrace or fit over
any suitable rail or plate or mount provided for same and secured to the ink
duct or adjacent thereto for instance to the rear thereof) any suitable means being
provided to clamp and secure said device or mount firmly in position for instance
by means of a pinching screw screwing through the rearmost leg against the rear
side of the ink duct or support to which said device is clamped."
The forward part of said " mount" extends forwardly across or partly across
the ink duct either in a horizontal direction or otherwise and through this part of
the "mount" where same extends over the ink duct a pinching screw or device is
screwed by any suitable means such as a milled head, a cross bar, thumb-piece,
or handle thereon, while the lower end of said pinching screw carries a fork or
"saddle" or other suitable device (to which same is swivelled or otherwise suitably
connected) of a character adapted to fit over and secure the upper edge of the
division piece or partition-or said pinching screw may be otherwise arranged and
adapted to engage the division piece or partition--so that by screwing down the
said pinching screw thereby the division piece or partition can be firmly fixed
at any desired point in the trough each of the aforesaid mounts being adapted
to be clamped or fixed in position over the trough at any desired point.
Referring to the drawings hereunto annexed:-
Fig. 1 is a plan-showing an ink duct having the present improvements applied
thereto.

page_text: f is saddle-piece-swivelled or otherwise suitably carried on said screw e.
ggare the divisions or partitions adapted to fit against the ink duct a and
against the duct roller b in an ink tight manner and furthermore adapted to be
straddled or held by a saddle or forked piece such as f.
hh are clamping screws adapted to be screwed through the leg of the
"mount"
C.
It will thus readily be seen how each partition g can be adjusted and then fixed
rigidly in the ink duct exactly in the precise position required.
Instead of using a screw such as e for fixing the partitions g in position-any
other suitable means may be employed such as lever with cam or eccentric action.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The combination with the ink duct of printing machines, of independent
mounts such as c adapted to be fixed in position at any desired point along the ink
duct, movable partitions for dividing off the ink duct into separate compartments
and means carried on said mount for engaging and fixing said partitions firmly in
any desired position along said trough, substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
2. The combination with the ink duct of printing machines, of independent
mounts such as c adapted to extend over the ink duct and provided with two
downwardly extending legs adapted to fit over a rail or edge such as d, means
to securely fix said legs to said rail or edge, a clamping screw such as e screwed
through the mount and at its lower end swivelled to a saddle such as f adapted
to fit over the movable partitions such as g to thereby fix the latter rigidly at any
desired point in the ink duct, substantially in the manner and for the purposes
hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings hereunto annexed.
