Improvements in Machines for Making or Impressing Type Matrices,
and Attachments thereof.
I REGINALD HADDAN, of the Firm of Herbert Haddan and Co., of 18, Bucking-
ham Street, Strand, W.C., London, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, a communication to me from abroad by Emil Werner, of Cleveland,
State of Ohio United States of America, Machinist and Mechanical Engineer, and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in typograph-machines and attachments,-
to a typograph-machine of that variety wherein type-dies are employed to impress
the matrix-blank or matrix from which a stereotype-bar or plate may be subsequently
cast, and my invention consists in certain features of construction and in
combination of parts hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

any
A represents the bed of the typograph-machine, that is supported in suitable
manner, preferably upon legs A. Bed A, at the front side, is offset downwardly,
as at a, (see Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4), said offset extending lengthwise of the bed and
provided to accommodate the location and operation of the horizontally-reciprocating
type-die-carrier.
The type-die-carrier comprises two vertical side-members, B and B', arranged
a suitable interval apart and extending lengthwise from end to end of the carrier.
Members B and B are rigidly connected with each other preferably by means of
pins or screws, B2, (see Figs. 4 and 5) and effectively braced apart, for instance,
by means of sleeves, 133, mounted on the screws. Members B and B of the type-die-
carrier afford bearing for the type-dies, G, that extend transversely of the type-die-
carrier and are arranged in two or more horizontal series located the one series above
the other. There is preferably a type-die for each numeral, punctuation mark and
letter of the alphabet. Members B and B are, of course, perforated, as at b, to
afford suitable bearing for and accommodate the movement of the type-dies in the
performance of their function. In the present instance, there are three horizontal
series of horizontal type-dies arranged as herein before indicated. The type-dies
bear the type, g, at their forward end or face. (See Fig. 6.) In the normal position
of the type-dies the face of the type is preferably flush with the outer surface of
forward side-member B of the type-die-carrier, with the shank or stock of the
type-die protruding at the rear of the rearward side member B' of the carrier. Just
forward of member B' the type-die is provided with a stop, usually a pin, G¹, to
limit the rearward movement of the die, and mounted upon the die, between
stop G¹ and the rear side of member B of the type-die-carrier, is a coil-spring, G2,
(see Figs. 3 and 7) that is adapted to act in the direction to hold the die rearward
The type-die, at the forward end, has an upwardly or laterally projecting rib or
nose, G³, for the purpose hereinafter made apparent, and immediately at the rear
of this nose or rib and preferably integral therewith, has a laterally-projecting

page_text: flange, rib or guide, G. Forward side-member B of the type-die-carrier has
slots, b', in open relation with holes bin said member, to snugly accommodate the
passage of nose or rib G³ and guide G of the type-die, whereby the type-die is
properly held and guided during its movement toward and from the matrix-blank
or matrix, as will hereinafter more fully appear. The type-die-carrier is supported
by a vertically-reciprocating frame that is constructed preferably as shown in
Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7, wherein the same comprises a U-shaped member, C, at
opposite sides of the machine, that is, at opposite ends of the horizontal travel of
the type-die-carrier. U-shaped members C, at their upper or free ends, are
flanged inwardly, as at C', and the U-shaped members are rigidly connected with
each other by means of plates, C2, that are secured, preferably by means of
C3, to the faces of inwardly-projecting flanges C' of said U-shaped members.
Plates C² constitute the ways or rails of a track endwise of which the type-die-
carrier is adapted to travel, as will hereinafter appear, side-members B and B¹ of
the type-die-carrier, at or near each end of the same, being provided with an
upwardly-extending arm, 2, that, at its upper end, and outside side, is provided
with a wheel, ³, mounted on the adjacent way or rail.
screws,
The bed of the machine is provided with suitable vertical slideways, a', for the
U-shaped members of the vertically-reciprocating frame, and C represents caps
that thus prevent the displacement of said members of the vertically-reciprocating
frame from their respective slideway, caps C+ being secured to the bed of the
machine preferably by means of screws, C³. (See Figs. 3 and 7.)
The means employed for elevating and lowering, the type-die-carrier supporting-
frame is preferably as follows:-
D (see Figs. 1, 2, and 7) represents a shaft that is located below and extends
lengthwise of the bed of the machine, said shaft having bearing in brackets, D¹,
depending from and secured to the bed of the machine.
D² represents rock-arins that are operatively mounted on shaft D and are
operatively connected with U-shaped members C of the vertically-reciprocating
type-die-carrier supporting frame, the construction being preferably as shown in
the figures last referred to, wherein said rock-arms extend forwardly between a
pair of rollers, C6, secured to the respective U-shaped member of said frame. At
the left hand side of the machine shaft D has operatively mounted thereon a hand-
lever, D³, by manipulating which in the one direction or the other the aforesaid
frame and type-die-carrier supported thereby, are elevated or lowered to bring the
desired series of type-dies at the proper elevation relative to the type-die-plunging
or actuating mechanism hereinafter described.
Suitable locking-mechanism for holding the vertically movable type-die-carrier
supporting-frame at the desired elevation, is shown in Figs. 1, 7 and 8, wherein
lever D³, in suitable proximity to its handle D4, has pivotally secured thereto, as
at d', a tilting-latch d adapted to engage any one of three notches or recesses e
(arranged in series concentric with the axis of lever D³,) in the upper edge of
segmental plate E secured to the adjacent portion of the bed of the machine.
A spring, d², interposed between lever D³ and latch d, and secured at opposite
ends, respectively, to said latch and lever, acts in the direction to retain the
latch in engagement with the respective notch or recess e. The arrangement
of parts is such that in the position of lever D3 shown in Fig. 7, with latch d
engaging the lowermost notch or recess of the series of notches or recesses e a die
in the uppermost series of type-dies of the type-die-carrier is in position for
operation, and by disengaging the latch from said notch or recess and manipulating
lever D³ to bring the latch into engagement with the central or uppermost notch
or recess e the central or lowermost series of type-dies would be brought to the
proper elevation relative to the type-die impressing-plunger, as would be required
if the die selected were in the central or lowermost series of dies.
The means employed for reciprocating the type-die-carrier in a horizontal plane
is preferably as follows:-
--
c (see Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 7) represents a slide that is adapted to move end wise

page_text: between the side-walls of the downward offset a in the bed of the machine.
Slide c, at each end of the type-die-carrier, has an upwardly-extending member c¹,
the type-die-carrier being confined between members c¹ up and down which it is
adapted to slide.
To the bottom of slide c are attached the bands, F F', for propelling the slide,
and consequently the carrier, in opposite directions, respectively. These bands,
however, may constitute a single continuous band secured to slide c, as at F³, as
shown in Fig. 4. Bands FF are preferably of steel and of course lead in
opposite directions, the one band being attached to and leading over a pulley or
wheel, f, at the left hand side of the machine, and the other baud F¹ being attached
to and leading over a pulley or wheel at the opposite side of the machine, wheel
or pulley being supported preferably by a depending bracket or hanger f³ secured
to the bottom of the bed of the machine.
The downwardly offset portion of the bed is recessed longitudinally, as at a², and
suitably slotted for accommodating the location and operation of the aforesaid
means of propelling slide c.
Pulley or wheel is operatively mounted on a shaft, f4, that extends transversely
of the machine and is supported by a depending arm or bracket secured to the
bottom of the bed of the machine. (See Figs. 1, 4 and 25.) Shaft, forward of
pulley or wheel f¹, has also operatively mounted thereon a spur-gear, f, that
meshes with a spur-gear, h, operatively mounted on a shaft, H, that extends
transversely of the machine and is located directly below the type-die that is in
position for operation. Shaft H has bearing in a depending arm or bracket, secured
to the supporting-bed.
Upon shaft H, at the forward end thereof (see Figs. 1 and 2) is rigidly mounted
an arm, 1. Arm 1, at its upper end, is provided with an index-key, J, the upper
end of the arm being perforated, as at I', to accommodate. the location and
operation of said index-key. The key is provided with a shoulder or pin J', and
perforation of arm I is enlarged, as at 12, forming a shoulder 13, between which
and pin or shoulder J' is confined, upon the index-key, a coil-spring J² that is
adapted to act in the direction to retain the index-key within the respective hole of
the series of lateral holes k in segmental index-plate K that is rigidly secured to
the front of the bed of the machine.
The series of lateral holes k is concentric with the axis of arm I and the holes,
in number, correspond with the number of type-dies in a series of type-dies of the
type-die-carrier. Holes k are preferably funnel-shaped or flaring outwardly to
facilitate the entrance of the index-key. Index-plate K bears letters, marks or
characters that the respective holes represent, that is, bears in suitable proximity
to each hole, letters, marks or characters indicating the type-dies that are adapted
to be brought into position for operation when arm I and index-key J are
manipulated to cause the latter to enter said hole or perforation.
The one series (and we will suppose the uppermost series) of type-dies, bear the
capital letter type; another series (and we will suppose the central series) the small
letter type,
and the remaining series the type for numerals, punctuation marks and
other signs or characters. There being only one series of holes in the index-plate,
the latter, consequently, not only bears, in the desired proximity to each hole or
perforation, the marks, letters or characters required to indicate what type-dies are
adapted to be brought into proper position upon the engagement of the respective
hole or perforation by the index-key, but said marks, letters or characters are
arranged in such a manner that the operator can at once tell in what series of
type-dies the die, that the respective mark, letter or character on the index-plate
indicates, is located. If the type-dies bearing the small letter type are directly
below those bearing the capital letter type, as we will suppose, it, of course, would
not be necessary to have the index-plate bear both the capital and the small letter,
but one letter, either capital or small, would be sufficient.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, the index-plate adjacent to each hole or
perforation k¹, for instance, bears the letter "m" indicating a type-die in the central

page_text: and uppermost series of type-dies, and directly below said letter is the comma-mark
of punctuation (,) indicating that the type-die bearing the comma-type is located in
the lowermost series of type-dies.
The type-die-carrier is reciprocated in the one direction or the other to bring the
desired type-die of a series of type-dies in position for operation according as
arm I bearing index-key is manipulated in the one direction or the other. By
means of the intergearing of shafts and H it will be observed that propelling
band winds on pulley or wheel at one side of the machine while band F
unwinds from pulley or wheel at the opposite side of the machine, and vice versa;
and that the type-die-carrier is reciprocated in a direction opposite to that in
which arm is moved. The sizes of gears h, relative to each other, are
preferably such that arm I need not be moved but the least distance practicable,
being preferably as shown in Fig. 4, wherein the diameter of gear on shaft f
is one-half that of gear h; consequently the index-key is moved only one-half
the distance that the type-die-carrier is moved, and the distance apart of the holes
or perforations in the index-plate is only one-half the distance apart of the type-
dies in a series of type-dies of the type-die-carrier.
As already indicated, the type-die-carrier is movable in a vertical plane to bring
the series of type-dies, containing the type-die selected for operation, at the proper
elevation relative to the type-die-impressing plunger hereinafter described, whereby,
in conjunction with the horizontal reciprocation of the type-die-carrier, any type-
die in either or any of the series of type-dies can be brought into the proper
position.
To prevent end play of the type-die-carrier, a spring, as at c², (see Fig. 4) is
preferably interposed between the one end of one or both side-members of the
type-die-carrier and the adjacent upwardly-extending member c¹ of the type-die-
carrier slide, said spring being secured to member c¹ and acting in the direction to
hold the type-die-carrier against member el at the opposite end of the carrier.
Plates C², that as already indicated, constitute the ways or rails of the track of the
wheeled type-die-carrier, at their lower edge, extend more or less into corresponding
recesses (see Fig. 3) in the top of the adjacent side-members of the type-die-
carrier, to guard against and prevent any lateral movement of the upper portion of
the type-die-carrier, and said lower edges of plates C² are preferably V-shaped as
shown to reduce the friction to a minimum. The upper edge of plates or ways C²
is preferably of an inverted V-shape, as shown, and engages a corresponding
recess in the periphery of the respective wheels or rollers of the type-die-
carrier.
Slide c of the type-dic-carrier extends, widthwise, beyond the side-members of
the type-die-carrier and fits snugly but easily between the side-walls of the
downward off-set in the bed of the machine.
C7 represents bars or plates that extend from end to end of the horizontal travel
of the type-die-carrier, the same being secured to the side-walls of the downward
offset in the bed of the machine just above the type-die-carrier slide, and serving as
guides to check any tendency of an upward displacement of the type-dic-carrier
slide.
Hence, it will be observed that by the construction herein before described the
type-die-carrier slide is held strictly in line, both horizontally and vertically.
2 (see Figs. 2 and 18) represents the driving-shaft upon which is operatively
mounted the driving-pulley, the driving-shaft having bearing in suitable boxes
rigid with the supporting bed. L represents a cam-wheel loosely mounted on the
driving-shaft. Cam-wheel L is, however, adapted to be operatively connected with
the driving-shaft as will hereinafter appear.
Cam-wheel L is provided with a peripheral cam L₁ that is adapted to engage a
roller, M, trunnioned in the rear end of plunger, M, and actuate the latter,
plunger M being adapted to reciprocate endwise in plunger-case, N, that is rigid
with bed A of the machine. The forward portion of plunger M is reduced in size,

page_text: as shown, forming shoulders, as at m, and the forward end of plunger-case N is
correspondingly perforated, as at N', for the passage of said reduced portion of the
plunger, the latter having mounted thereon a coil-spring m', that is confined
between shoulders m aud the forward end of the plunger-case, and adapted to act
in the direction to hold the plunger rearward. The plunger is adapted to engage
the butt of the shank or stock of the type-dies and force the dies forward to cause
the dies to impress the matrix-blank or matrix, the latter represented by me, being
conveyed along, forward of the type-die-carrier, by the following mechanism :-
O represents a box (see Figs. 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11 and 12) rigidly secured to or
integral with bed A. of the machine, and located immediately forward of offset a.
Box O is open at the ends and top. The matrix-blank or matrix is fed end wise
through box O by means that will presently be described, the sides of said box
constituting guides for the matrix-blank or matrix in the passage of the latter past
the impressing plunger.
P represents an endless-conveyor-belt that leads around a roller or pulley, P¹,
trunnioned in upright posts or suitable supports, P2, (see Fig. 1) at the right hand
end of the machine, and leads over a roller or pulley, P³, (see Figs. 9 and 11) that
is trunnioned in the sides of box O. The forward trunnion of roller, P³, extends
outside of box O, and has operatively mounted upon its forward end a spur-
gear, P
The bottom of box O, in the present instance, is located somewhat above the
bed of the machine, but, of course, is cut away, as at O', (see Fig. 9) to accommodate
the passage of belt P and the location of roller P³. Immediately forward of the
type-die that is in position to be operated upon by impressing-plunger M, the
rear side of box O is perforated or bored vertically, as at O2, (see Fig. 13) and
within said perforation or bore is located the lower portion of an upright bar R of
the matrix-blank or matrix féeding-mechanism. The lower end of this bar is
inclined or bevelled, downwardly and forwardly, as at R', this bevel or incline of
the bar being adapted to be engaged by nose or rib G³ of the type-die, and the
rear side of box has a lateral perforation, as at 0³, for the entrance and passage
of the type-die, said lateral perforation of course being in open relation with
vertical perforation 02. Perforation O2 is preferably square, and bar R, in cross-
section, is of, a corresponding shape and size, as shown more clearly in Figs. 13
and 14 of the drawings. Lateral perforation 03 is tapering or funnel-shaped to
facilitate the entrance of the type-die, the forward or reduced end of said
perforation being just large enough to receive the type-die, and to cause the latter
to properly engage and impress the matrix-blank or matrix, that is, to cause the
impression to be made exactly at right angles to the surface to be impressed.
The rear side or wall of box O has a slot, as at O, in open relation with
perforation 0³, to accommodate nose or rib G³ and flange or guide G of the
type-die.
I would here remark that it is desirable to have the type-dies operate easily in
their bearings but that it is of vast importance to have the dies truly engage the
surface of the matrix-blank or matrix to be impressed. I, therefore, employ dies,
the butt or rear end of the stock whereof is pointed, convex or reduced in size, as
at G, and provide the forward end of the impressing-plunger with a corresponding
recess, hole or cavity, m³, adapted to receive or engage said reduced end of the die,
the arrangement of parts being such that in conjunction with the reduced end of
funnel-shaped guide 03 (that, as hereinbefore indicated, is just large enough to
receive the die) when said recess or cavity in the forward end of the plunger makes
engagement with the rear reduced end of the die, the latter will be properly
centered to engage the matrix-blank or matrix exactly at right angles to the
surface to be impressed.
Bar R has laterally-extending arins R2, R3, (see Fig. 9) that extend in opposite
directions and to which are pivotally secured depending links R, that, at their
opposite ends, are pivotally connected, with annular discs or rings, r, loosely

page_text: mounted upon feed-rollers S and S'. Feed-rollers S and S' are located,
respectively, within box () and at opposite sides of, and preferably equidistant
from, bar R.
Feed-rollers S and S¹ are trunnioned in the sides of box O, (see Figs. 11 and 12).
annular discs or rings, r, being mounted upon the respective roller in the rear side
or wall of box O that is recessed to accommodate the location and operation of said
annular discs or rings. The forward trunnion of feed-roller S extends outside of
box (see Figs. 9 and 11) and, upon its forward or outer end, is operatively
mounted a spur-gear S2, that is in mesh with spur-gear P, mounted on the forward
trunnion of roller P³ hereinafter described.
Annular discs or rings r, on their inner periphery, are provided with curved
grooves or slots, ³, preferably four in number, and gradually reduced in size,
as at 2.
Within grooves or slots between the periphery of the respective rollers S S¹
and the opposing walls of said grooves or slots are located rollers ³, and between
these rollers and the end of grooves or slots opposite to the reduced end of said
slots or grooves are located springs that are adapted to act against the respective
roller in the direction of the reduced end of the slot or groove. To prevent the
displacement of rollers and springs is provided an annular plate, 70, secured to
annular disc or ring about the respective feed-roller and flush with the inner
surface of the rear side of box 0, (see Figs. 9, 11 and 12) and links R* are
connected, respectively, directly with the respective annular plate or cap.
The operation of this feeding mechanism is as follows:-Cam-wheel or roller L
is operated to cause peripheral cam L' thereof to actuate plunger M, the latter in
turn engaging and forcing the type-die forward to impress the matrix-blank or
matrix, the latter having been brought into proper position within box, O..
Previous to the type-die making its impression, however, lateral rib or nose G³ at
the forward end of the die will engage the incline or bevel R' at the lower end of
bar R, and cause the latter to be elevated. This motion of bar R and its
arms R2, R3, will through links R, R*, be communicated to annular discs or
rings, r, the latter being moved in the direction indicated by the arrows, (Fig. 9)
causing rollers 3, located within slots or grooves of discs or rings r, to be wedged
into the reduced portion of said grooves or slots between the periphery of the
respective feed-rollers S S₁ and the opposing wall of the respective slots or
grooves, and causing feed-rollers S S₁ to rotate with the respective encircling disc
or ring r.
The periphery of feed-rollers S S' is milled, or nurled, as shown, or provided
with suitable projections, whereby the rollers, upon being rotated, as aforesaid, will
take hold on the matrix-blank or matrix and feed the same onward as required.
To cause the taking hold of the matrix-blank or matrix by the feed-rollers to be
more positive, I provide a spring, or springs s, acting downwardly upon the rollers,.
(see Figs. 9 and 10) said spring or springs being supported in any suitable manner,
and the rollers have preferably an annular groove, s', for receiving said spring or
springs. The gearing at P4 S2 communicates motion from roller S to conveyor-
belt Pupon which the matrix-blanks will usually be fed in procession to feed-
roller S. The matrix-blank may, of course, be of any length desired, but should
just be wide enough to nicely pass between the sides of box O, the sides of box O
serving as guides to maintain the matrix-blank or matrix in a straight path. The
distance that feed-rollers S S¹ are located, respectively, above the bottom of
box and conveyor-belt P (the portion of the latter within box O may be said to
constitute a bottom for this part of said box) relative to the thickness of the matrix-
blank, is, of course, such that feed-rollers S S₁ will not fail to take hold of the
matrix-blank or matrix, and feed the same as required. To guard against the
objection that would be met in case the matrix-blank or matrix did not sufficiently
5 snugly fit between the guides constituted by the sides of box 0, 1 provide, one or
more springs, o, (see Fig. 15) to act against the same edge of the matrix-blank
or matrix that is designed to receive the work of the type-dies, and cause the

page_text: matrix-blank or matrix to closely hug the forward side of box O, thereby insuring
that the matrix-blank or matrix is always properly, firmly and uniformly held
relative to the type-dies, during the impression by the latter.
As shown more clearly in Fig. 15, a recess o' and spring o seated in said recess
is provided at each side of the point at which the impression of the matrix-blank
or matrix takes place.
The noses or ribs G³ of the respective type-dies, of course, vary in size,
according to the distance it is required to feed the matrix-blank or matrix that is
to receive the impression of the respective dies. For instance, a die adapted to
impress the letter "m" would necessarily require a rib or nose, G³, adapted to lift
or elevate bar Ra greater distance and consequently cause the connected mechanism
to feed the matrix-blank or matrix farther than, for instance, the die adapted to
impress the letter "i." In impressing the matrix or matrix-blank with the letters
composing a word, to render the work desirable, the impressions should be equi-
distant apart, but as aforesaid, the letter "m," for instance, requires more space
than the letter "i"; consequently the variation in the size of ribs or noses G³ of
the respective type-dies to cause the feeding-mechanism to move the matrix or
maxtrix-blank the proper distance. This difference in the size of ribs or noses G³ of
the respective type-dies, will be more readily understood upon reference to Fig. 6
that exhibits, in perspective, six type-dies bearing the type, "I," "e," "n," "N,"
"M," and "W." Of these letters or characters, the letters "1" and "e" occupy the least
space and the letters "M" and "W" occupy the most space. It is obvious that in
order to obtain the proper adjustment of space or distance between the letters of a
word, the matrix-blank or matrix must be fed or moved a greater or less distance
according to the size of the space occupied by the letter or character impressed.
By providing the type-die with a rib or nose G³ of the proper size the most
accurate adjustment is obtained.
Cam L' having passed plunger M spring m' will return the plunger to its normal
position, and the pressure being thus removed from the type-die that has just
made an impression in the matrix-blank or matrix said type-die will also be
returned to its normal position by the action of spring G².
Bar R and connected annular discs or rings r, upon the withdrawal or recession
of the type-die from the matrix-blank or matrix, are returned to their normal
position, partly by the gravity of the parts, and partly (and promptly) by the
action of a spring, R5, (see Figs. 2 and 9) the latter, as shown, being preferably a
coil-spring mounted on the upper portion of bar R, the spring being confined upon
bar R between the top of lateral arms R2 and R3 of the bar and the overhanging
end T of a bracket or arm, T, that is secured to the top of the rear side of box 0,
and member T¹ of said arm or bracket being perforated, as at T2, to accommodate
the vertical movement of bar R, bracket or arm T thus serving as a guide to assist
in maintaining the verticality of arm R.
The bed of the machine is of course slotted, as at a', to accommodate the location
and operation of cam-wheel or roller L and driving-mechanism.
Cam L' of the cam-wheel has a slight depression, L2, extending transversely of
the periphery of the cam. The office of this slight depression in the cam will be
obvious when it is considered that it is desirable to have uniformity in the impression
of the matrix by the type-dies. Owing to peculiarities in the construction and
shape of certain letters and characters and the consequent peculiarities in the
displacement of the material of the matrix-blank or matrix by the dies adapted to
impress such letters or characters, with a cam adapted to cause but one impulse to
be given to the die there might be difficulty in obtaining uniformity in the
impression of the matrix-blank or matrix by the various dies, and I have found
that with a slight depression in the cam as just described the prominence of the
cam, that immediately follows such depression, causes a fresh or second impulse as
it were, to be given to the die, and affords the die an opportunity to prevent any
inequality or irregularity in the impression of the matrix, causing the degree of
successive impressions of successive dies to be uniform. The depression in the cam

page_text: referred to should, of course, not be so great as to cause a disturbance in the
feeding-mechanism of the matrix-blank or matrix.
U (Fig. 2) represents a bent lever that is fulcrumed, as at U', to the bed of the
typewriter mechanism hereinafter described. Lever U at its forward end terminates
above the feeding-mechanism of the matrix-blank or matrix in a depending
member U, that is, however, jointed, as at U³. The lower section of depending
member U at the lower end thereof and preferably directly over the central
portion of the path of the matrix-blank or matrix and in line with the operative
type-die, is provided with a roller, U (Fig. 9), that is adapted to bear upon the
matrix-blank or matrix. Lever U, at the rear of its fulcrum and above the type-
die actuating plunger, terminates in a depending member U, the lower extremity
whereof engages an incline m³ at the forward end of the type-die actuating plunger,
the trend of such incline being upward toward its rear end. In the normal
position of parts, member U of lever U rests upon the lower end of incline m²,
and roller U rests gently upon the matrix-blank or matrix. As plunger M
advances to engage and actuate the type-die to cause the latter to impress the
matrix-blank or matrix, member U of lever U will be elevated by means of the
aforesaid incline at the forward end of said plunger, resulting in the depression of
roller U at the opposite end of said lever, thereby causing the roller to exert a
pressure upon the matrix-blank or matrix at the same time that the latter receives
the impression of the type-die, thus firmly holding the matrix-blank or matrix
while being impressed by the die. The lower section of member U³ of lever U
extends through a sleeve U (see Figs. 2, 3 and 9) secured to the top of the
forward side of box O, whereby the verticality of the lower section of member U
of lever U is maintained and roller U at all times caused to rest or bear squarely
upon the matrix-blank or matrix.
A roller, W, (see Figs. 9 and 10) is located within box O directly above and
transversely of the path of the matrix-blank and in advance of feed-roller S,
roller W being trunnioned in the sides of box O and being adapted to rest and
bear upon the matrix-blank and prevent the rear end of the latter from being lifted
as it is received and fed by roller S, the trunnions of roller W being capable of
slight vertical movement, however, the sides of box O being slotted or grooved
for the purpose as at 0, (shown in dotted lines Fig. 9) to accommodate any slight
irregularity or inequality in the thickness of the matrix-blank. Springs, as at W1,
are provided the same being secured, respectively, to the sides of box O, with the
free ends thereof bearing upon the periphery of roller W.
Suitable spacing mechanism is provided for causing longer or shorter spaces to
be made, for instance, between words, or between characters or letters, as required.
As shown in Figs. 1, 9, 16 and 17, (Figs. 16 and 17 heing on the same sheet with
Fig. 9) X represents a bent lever fulcrumed to a suitable support, such, for
instance, as a post or standard X rigid with the forward side of box O. The
extremity of the weight arm of lever X extends into a slot R of bar R and is
adapted to engage the top wall of said slot. (Fig. 17). The power arm of lever X
extends through hollow posts or barrels, as at Y Y Y², that are preferably integral
with a plate Y³ rigidly secured to the bed of the machine. Lever X comprises
preferably a flat bar, and upon the power-arm of lever X, within the respective
barrels YYY2, is seated a button, Z, the shank of the latter being comparatively
long and slotted, as at Z¹, (see Fig. 16) whereby the bifurcated shank is adapted
to straddle lever X, the slot extending preferably to the lower extremity of the
shank, but the latter does not extend to the bottom of the respective barrel and the
barrel is vertically slotted at opposite sides, as at Y', (see Fig. 9) with said slots
extending below lever X sufficiently far to enable the depression of the power-arm
of lever X the distance required, whereby lever X, by depressing the proper
button, will be actuated to lift or elevate bar R and connected matrix-feeding
mechanism and cause the matrix to be fed the space desired, the latter being
greater or less according to the distance the button aforesaid is located from the
fulcrum of lever X and according to the proximity of the lower extremity of the
B

page_text: shank of the button to the bottom of the respective barrel; hence, the provision
of several buttons, Z, located at different intervals from the fulcrum of lever X
and with the shank of the button in closer or less proximity to the bottom of the
respective barrel. Referring to Fig. 9 of the drawings, button Z, seated upon
lever X within barrel Y, being the button located nearest to the fulcrum of lever X
and with the lower extremity of its shank farthest from the bottom of the barrel,
is adapted to actuate lever X to cause bar R and connected feed-mechanism to
feed the matrix a greater distance than button Z in barrels, Y, Y', which latter
buttons are located farther from the fulcrum of lever X with the shanks thereof
nearer to the bottom of the respective barrels. A spring, as at Z2, is mounted
upon the shank of button Z and confined between lever X and bottom of the
respective barrel, springs Z being adapted, respectively, to return the respective
button to its normal position upon the removal of the pressure upon the button.
In case more than one button, Z, is employed, as in the present instance, and as is
desirable, slots Y in the sides of the respective barrels, as already indicated,
should cf course extend sufficiently far below lever X to accommodate the
movement of the latter in all cases.
The power-arm of lever X extends in suitable proximity to the handle of
lever D³ so that both the latter and the spacing-lever can be conveniently operated
by the same hand of the operator and with the least loss of time in changing from
the operation of one to the operation of the other of said levers.
As already indicated, suitable means are provided whereby cam-wheel L is
automatically operatively connected and disconnected with the driving-shaft
preparatory to and after the actuation of the impressing-plunger by cam L'.
Upon driving-shaft (see Figs. 2, 18, 19 and 20) is operatively mounted a
grooved-wheel, 12, that is located within cam-wheel L and is preferably integral, as
shown, with the driving-pulley . Within groove 13 in the periphery of wheel 12
is located a friction-shoe, l, that is provided with a pin projecting outwardly
through a lateral hole or perforation L³ in cam-wheel L and terminating at its
outer end in a head 1, hole L' being just sufficiently large to snugly receive
said pin.
By the construction shown it will be observed that a pressure exerted upon the
head of pin will press shoe against the walls of groove 13 in wheel 12 and cause
the cam-wheel to rotate with the driving-pulley. Shoe is retained in the position
desired by means of a spring, 1', that is fastened at one end to the cam-wheel, as
at 18, and the other end terminating in a member extending through a hole L*
provided in the cam-wheel and in open relation with lateral hole L³, said spring
acting in the direction to cause member 19 thereof to engage and bear against pin 1,
thereby, in conjunction with the frictional contact between pin 15 and the
surrounding-wall of hole L³, retaining shoe in the position desired, in or out of
frictional contact with the walls of groove 13 of wheel 12, as the case may be.
Shoe of the clutch-mechanism thus constituted, with its members 11, is shown
detached in Fig. 20.
n represents a fork that is secured, at the side of cam-wheel L opposite to the
direction of rotation of said wheel, to any suitable support, such, for instance, as
plunger-case N. The arrow indicates the direction of travel of said cam-wheel.
Prongs or members n' of fork n project over the cam-wheel opposite to the direction
of the rotation of said wheel and terminate in close proximity, and are arranged
tangentially, to the periphery of said wheel. Fork n is located in such a position
relative to the clutch-mechanism that is adapted to operatively connect cam-wheel L
with the driving-pulley or driving-shaft, members n' of the fork are located such a
distance apart, and the size of head of the clutch-mechanism is such, that when
the clutch mechanism arrives at the free end of the fork, pin of said mechanism
will pass between members n' of the fork, and head of the pin will ride upon the
fork, releasing shoe from frictional contact with wheel and resulting in
operatively disconnecting the cam-wheel and driving-shaft. Prongs or members n'
of fork n are cut away or farther separated, as at n², to permit head 16 of the

page_text: clutch-mechanism to pass through the fork, after cam-wheel L has become
operatively disconnected from the driving-shaft.
For automatically establishing frictional contact between shoe land wheel 12 and
thereby operatively connecting the cam-wheel with the driving-pulley or driving-
shaft, is provided as follows:-
:-
110 (sce Figs. 2 and 21) represents a stiff plate located at the rear of index K,
the same being hinged, as at ", at or near the bottom of the index. Plate 110 is
adapted to be tilted rearwardly on its hinges by the engagement therewith of
index-key J, and is of such size relative to the index that it will be actuated by the
index-key no matter what hole or perforation in the index-plate is engaged by
the index-key. To the upper end of plate 110 is rigidly connected a rod, 13, that
extends rearward across the machine and terminates at its rear end just outside of
the path of head 1 of the aforesaid clutch-mechanism. Of course it is obvious that
cam-wheel L, owing to its momentum will travel some distance further after it has
become operatively disconnected from the driving-shaft as herein before described,
and the free end of rod 1, for the purpose hereinafter made apparent, terminates
approximately at such a point relative to the path of head that the latter after
becoming released from fork n and before it has come to a stop, will come into
position to be engaged by said rod. Rod 114 is bent, as required, to avoid
interference with other parts of the machine. The index-key is of such length,
that as said key, in the operation of the machine, engages any one of the holes in
the index, it will also engage hinged plate 10, and the arrangement of parts is such
that just as head of the clutch-mechanism comes opposite the free end of rod
the latter will be engaged by head 16 of the clutch mechanism whereupon said rod
will be actuated by means of index-key J engaging plate 10, and exert a pressure
upon said head, depressing the latter and causing frictional contact to be established
between shoe and wheel 12, thereby operatively connecting cam-wheel L with the
driving-shaft. Head of the clutch-mechanism is elongated in the direction of the
circumference of wheel L so that there is no liability of a failure of its coming into
engagement with rod 12 aforesaid.
Cam-wheel or roller L, in the same circular plane with the clutch-mechanism
hereinafter described, is provided with a peripheral cam, Lo, that is sufficiently
narrow to pass between prongs or members n² of fork n and is adapted to engage
rod 12 and return the same to its normal position, the arrangement of parts being
such that said cam will come into engagement with rod after the latter has
actuated the clutch-mechanism to operatively connect the cam-wheel with the
driving-shaft. A spring, as at 13, is also preferably provided at the rear of plate (10
to act in the direction to return the plate to its normal position. Either cam L³ or
spring 3, alone, might answer the purpose, but I prefer the employment of both,
that the return of plate to its normal position, shall be positively effected and
retained in such position, until again actuated by index-key J.
Having thus described the "construction and operation of the typograph-
mechanism, I will proceed with a description of the means and mechanism
employed for operatively connecting with the typograph-mechanism, suitable
typewriter mechanism whereby the operator, at all times, is enabled to see a proof
of his work.
Shaft, at or near its rear end, has operatively mounted thereon a bevel-gear, f",
that meshes with bevel gear 33 (see Figs. 4 and 25) operatively mounted on au
upright shaft 34 that extends through bed A of the machine and is supported in
any suitable manner. Shaft 34, at its upper end, has operatively mounted thereon
a bevel-gear, 38, (see Fig. 2) that meshes with a bevel-gear, 39, suitably mounted
on a shaft, 40, that has suitable bearing in the upper member, 41, of a bracket or
standard, 42, rigidly secured to bed A of the machine (see Fig. 1). Shaft 40,
forward of its forward bearing, has operatively mounted thereon a spur-gear, 43,
that meshes with a rack, 44, the latter (see Figs. 2, 22, 23 and 24) extending
lengthwise of the machine, and being secured at either end, preferably by means of
screws, 45, to a block, 46, that extends longitudinally, and, by means of rack 44

page_text: aforesaid, is adapted to be slid endwise bed 47 of the typewriter mechanism, bed 47
being supported by and preferably integral with legs 48 that are bolted or rigidly
secured to bed A of the machine, bed 47 of the typewriter mechanism of course
being located sufficiently far above the typographic mechanism underneath that the
latter will not be interfered with.
To render the travel of sliding-block 46 as easy as possible, bed 47 is grooved
or recessed longitudinally as at 49, and block 46, at suitable intervals, on its under
surface, is provided with recesses or depressions, 50, that register with the
longitudinal groove or recess 49 in bed 47, and fitting nicely between the opposing
walls of recesses 50 and 49, and extending transversely of recess 49, are located
rollers, 51. Sliding-block 46 also travels in contact with rollers 52 secured to
bed 47 at suitable intervals along the sides of block 46. By this construction
the travel of block 46 is not only rendered exceedingly easy, but comparatively
noiseless.
Block 46 is provided with a series of transverse grooves or recesses, 53, on its
upper surface, within which grooves or recesses are nicely, but easily fitted,
bars 54, the latter being adapted to slide end wise said grooves or recesses, that are
preferably of such depth as to receive bars 54 with the top surface thereof flush
with the top surface of block 46.
Bars 54, at their forward end, terminate, respectively, in an upwardly-extending
arm or member, 55, to the upper end of which is pivotally connected the power-arm
of a curved type-lever, 56, levers 56 being fulcrumed upon a rod, 57, in common,
the latter being supported, at either end, by an upwardly extending arm or
bracket, 58, rigidly secured to sliding-block 46, the latter being preferably flanged
forwardly at either end, as at 59, and arms or brackets 58 being screwed to the
respective flange, as at 60 (see Figs. 3 and 24), collars as at 57 being preferably
mounted on rod 57 between levers 56, as shown.
To prevent vertical motion of bars 54, within grooves or recesses 53 of sliding-
block 46, is provided a cap-plate 61, that is secured, preferably by means of
screws, 62, (see Figs. 22, 23 and 24) to block 46, at either end of the latter, and to
render the end wise movement of bars 54 easy and comparatively noiseless, said
bars are also caused to work upon rollers, as at 63, provided in recesses 64, in the
upper and lower surfaces of said bars adjacent cap-plates 61 and sliding-block 46,
(see Fig. 22). The endwise movement of a bar 54 rearwardly causes the type
lever operatively connected with said bar to make its imprint on the paper in the
paper-carriage hereinafter referred to, and this movement of bars 54 is effected by
mechanism operatively connected with type-die-plunger M of the typographic
mechanism, as follows:-
Type-die-plunger M, at the rear end, (see Figs. 2, 22, and 25) has an upwardly-
extending arm or member, 65, that is hollow or bored, as at 66. Type-die
plunger-case N, is, of course slotted, as at 67, (see also Fig. 18) to accommodate
the location and movement of arm or member 65, but at either side of the latter is
provided with an upwardly-projecting and laterally-slotted ear or member 68, the
top and rear walls of slots 69 of members 68 sloping downwardly and rearwardly
as to form an incline, as at 70, (see Fig. 2). Within the bore of arm or
member 65 is located a bolt, 71, the head of the latter, 72, being adapted to engage
a notch, 73, in the lower surface of bar 54 immediately above.
SO
To shank of bolt 71, at the rear end, is provided, at either side, with a
laterally-projecting pin, 74, that is adapted to ride up and down the sloping or
inclined wall of the slot in the respective ear or member 68 of plunger-case N.
Arm or member 65 is provided with inwardly-projecting shoulders 75, between
which and head 72 of bolt 71, is confined a spring, 76, preferably a coil-spring as
shown mounted upon the shank of bolt 71, said spring acting in the direction to
retain the head of bolt 71 in its shot position.
Cap-plate 61 at the rear end, (see Figs. 2, 22 and 23) has a depending flange, 77,
that is perforated for the passage of pins or rods, 78, that are screwed into the
respective bars 54, and upon rods or pins 78, between flange 77 and the

page_text: respective bars 54, are mounted springs, 79, adapted to act in the direction against
bars 54.
There are as many type-levers 56, as there are type-dies in a series of type-dies
in the type-die-carrier of the typographic mechanism; each type-lever is provided
with as many type as there are series of type-dies, and the type carried by the
type-levers, as to the letters or characters they are adapted to imprint, correspond
to the type of those type-dies that have the same relative position in the series of
type-dies, that the type-lever has in the series of type-levers, and as the type-die-
carrier is moved in the one direction or the other to bring a certain type-die into
position for operation by manipulating arm 1, the type-lever of the type-writer
mechanism that carries the type corresponding with the type-die thus brought into
an operative position, is, by means of rack 44, (that as aforesaid is secured to
sliding-block 46 that carries bars 54 with which the type-levers are operatively
connected,) and intermediate gearing and mechanism that operatively connect said
rack with the type-die-carrier, brought into an operative position; that is, bar 54
with which the type-lever in question is operatively connected, is brought into such
position that when arm or member 63 of type-die-plunger, M, is caused to move
forward with the type-die-plunger as the latter is actuated by cam L' to cause the
type-die to make an impression in the matrix-blank or matrix, as hereinbefore
described, bolt 71, within member 65, will come under notch 73 of the respective
type-lever-bar 54 and be shot by the action of the spring mounted on the shank of
the bolt, and lock the respective type-lever-bar to type-die plunger M, whereupon,
as the latter recedes, after having caused the respective type-die to make the
desired impression in the matrix-blank or matrix, the respective type-lever-bar will
be moved rearwardly with the plunger and actuate the respective type-lever to
make the desired imprint on the paper in the type-writer carriage hereinafter
described, spring 79 at the rear of the respective type-lever-bar, of course, being
compressed, and just as the type-lever has performed its function lateral pins 74 of
bolt 71 will have moved down inclines 70 of ears or members 68 of plunger-case N
and withdrawn bolt 71 from notch 74 in the type-lever-bar, permitting spring 79
aforesaid to return the type-lever-bar and type-lever to its normal position.
Having described the manner of operating the type-levers of the typewriter
mechanism, I will now proceed with a description of the mechanism for effecting
the movement of the paper-carriage of the typewriter, both, horizontally, to present
a fresh place for the type to strike, and, vertically, for the purpose hereinafter
made more apparent.
Referring, firstly, to the horizontal movement of the paper-carriage, that is
effected by mechanism adapted to be operatively connected with the matrix-
feeding-mechanism of the typograph mechanism, upon reference to Figs. 3, 9,
and 10, of the drawings, it will be observed that lateral arm R³ of bar R is
connected, by means of lateral pin 80, with an annular disc, or ring, 81, loosely
mounted on the periphery of a wheel or disc, 82, that is rotatably mounted upon a
pin or stud 83 of bracket 84 rigid with the forward side of box O. Annular disc
or ring 81, on its inner periphery, (see Fig. 9) has grooves or slots, 85, substan-
tially the same as grooves or slots of similar discs or rings in the matrix-feeding-
mechanism herembefore described, having rollers, as at 86, and springs, as at 87,
located within them, excepting that the arrangement of the reduced end of slots or
grooves 85, rollers 86, and springs 87, relative to each other, is necessarily such
that the elevation of arm R³ of bar R of the matrix-feeding-mechanism aforesaid
will move disc or ring 81 in the direction of the arrow and cause wheel or disc 82
to move in a corresponding direction. Wheel or disc 82 (see Figs. 3, 9 and 10) is
provided with a dog, as at 88, that is adapted to engage a forwardly-projecting pin
or lug 89 of a pulley, 90, that is rotatably secured to a standard or post 91 rigid
with the rear side of box O. Wheel 90, by means of dog 88 of wheel or disc 82
engaging pin or lug 89 of said wheel is thus caused to be rotated with the matrix-
feeding-mechanism of the machine. Annular disc or ring 81, on either side, has
secured thereto a circular plate, 92, that extends somewhat inside of the periphery

page_text: of wheel or disc 82 and serves as a guard to prevent displacement of annular discs
or rings 81, and rollers and springs, 86 and 87, respectively. It will also be
observed that the axis of wheel 90 and wheel or disc 82 are not coincident, and
that the path of pin 89 of whcel 90, and the path of dog 88 of wheel or disc 82, are
eccentric to each other, and the arrangement of parts is such that once in a
revolution of dog 88 and pin 89, said pin and dog will be disengaged for the
purpose hereinafter made apparent.
The horizontal movement of the paper-carriage of the type-writer mechanism is
effected by a cord or baud 90°, (see Fig. 9), said band being fastened at one end
to the right hand end of a bar 93 of the paper-carriage and thence leading over
and secured at the opposite end to wheel or pulley 90.
Bar 93 extends lengthwise of the paper-carriage and beyond the latter at the
left-hand end, said bar on its upper surface at the forward side of the bar recipro-
cating in contact with rollers, 93ª, provided at suitable intervals along the
horizontal travel of the paper-carriage, said rollers being supported, respectively,
by a bracket, 93, rigid with the bed of the typewriter mechanism, said rollers
checking any tendency of the forward side of bar 93 to tilt upward. To render the
operation of bar 93 easy and comparatively noiseless, said bar, at the rear, recipro-
cates in contact with rollers 94 and 95 secured, respectively, to the forward end and
under side of a forwardly-projecting plate or member 96 that is secured, as at 97,
to the front of the bed of the typewriter mechanism (see Figs. 1, 2 and 9 and dotted
lines Fig. 3).
Bar 93 (see Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 9) has upwardly and rearwardly-extending arms, 99,
of such shape as to be out of the way of rollers, 95, and extending loosely through
ears or sleeves, 100, rigid or integral with the end or side-members of the paper-
carriage of the typewriter mechanism, said carriage being mounted upon shafts 101
and 102, that extend lengthwise of the machine, through the end or side-members
of the carriage and having bearing, at either end, in a sliding-plate or block 103,
secured to brackets 104, that are bolted, as at 104, to bed 47 of the typewriter
mechanism, the paper carriage being adapted to move endwise of the machine with
bar 93 aforesaid.
The end or side-pieces of the paper-carriage, at the rear, are connected by one or
more pieces, 105, (see Figs. 2 and 9) and with the latter compose a suitable frame-
work for the carriage. Upon shaft 101, within the side or end-members of the
paper-carriage, is mounted the cylindrical platen 106, by the well known means of
groove and feather, the groove extending the entire length of the horizontal travel
of the carriage, and upon shaft 102, that is located at the rear of and above
shaft 101, and also within the side or end-members of the paper-carriage, is
loosely mounted a guide-roller, 107. Below and forward of cylindrical platen 106,
the side or end-members of the paper-carriage afford bearing for the trunnions of a
paper-carrying-roller, 108.
Rollers, 107 and 108, and cylinder 106, are located in suitable proximity to each
other, and the paper is fed from roller 108, between said roller and the cylindrical
platen 106 under the latter, and up between the same and guide-roller 107, and over
the cylindrical platen.
The paper-carriage, in printing, is fed from right to left, and bar 93 is connected
with a spring or weight acting in the direction to return the paper-carriage to the
place of beginning. For instance, as shown in Fig. 1, the bed of the typewriter
mechanism, at the right hand end, is provided with an arm or bracket 110 that has
attached a roller or pulley 111, and 112 represents a cord fastened to bar 93 and
thence leading over said roller or pulley, and having attached at its other or
opposite end a weight 113 that acts to return the paper-carriage as aforesaid. The
arrangement of parts is such that as the paper-carriage reaches the limit of its
leftward movement dog 88 of wheel 82 and pin 89 of feed-wheel 90 become
disengaged from each other, allowing weight 113 to return the paper-carriage to its
place of beginning as aforesaid.

page_text: For rotating the paper-carriage the distance of a line-space is provided as
follows:-
114 represents a ratchet-wheel (see Figs. 1, 9 and 26) operatively mounted on
the right hand end of shaft 101, and plate or block 103, secured to bracket 104 at
the right hand end of the machine, has a laterally and inwardly-projecting lug or
member, 115, the free extremity whereof has pivoted thereto a bell-crank-
lever 116, the latter, at its upper end, having pivotally attached a pawl, 117, that
is adapted to engage the teeth of ratchet-wheel, 114. The right hand end or side
member of the paper-carriage has a laterally-extending arm, 118, provided with an
incline, as at 119, that, as the paper carriage is returned to its place of beginning
as aforesaid, is adapted to engage and actuate bell-crank-lever 116 to actuate
pawl, 117 in the direction to move ratchet-wheel 114, to rotate shaft 101 and
cylindrical platen 106, as required, and feed the paper the distance of a line-
space.
The location of cylinder 106, relative to type-levers 56, is of course such that
the latter will strike the paper on the cylinder as required. Each type-lever,
however, as hereinbefore indicated, is provided with as many type as there are
series of type-dies G in the type-die-carrier, the type on the type-levers corre-
sponding with the type of the dies that are located in the same vertical plane. It
will, therefore, be manifest that some suitable mechanism should be provided for
moving the paper-carriage of the typewriter mechanism relative to the type-levers
to bring the required type at the end of the type-lever in position for imprinting,
and I provide as follows:-
120 represents a vertically-sliding-plate secured to the forward end of the bed of
the typewriter-mechanism, for instance, as shown, plate 120 (shown detached in
Fig. 27) extending lengthwise of the machine and secured in place preferably by
means of screws or bolts, 121, to upwardly-extending-arms or standards 122 at
opposite ends of the bed of the typewriter mechanism (see Figs. 1 and 3,) plate 120
being vertically slotted, as at 123, for the passage of said securing-bolts or screws
and to accommodate the up-and-down movement of the slide. The slide has a
depending arm or member 127, that is operatively connected with shaft D prefer-
ably as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, wherein 128 represents an oscillating arm
operatively mounted on said shaft and extending forwardly through a lateral
perforation or slot, 129, in the lower portion of arm or member 127 of said slide.
Arm or member 127 is also slotted, as at 130, to accommodate the location and
operation of impressing-plunger M, lever U, and rod 12, and bed A is of course
slotted for accommodating the location and operation of arm 127.
It will thus be observed that slide 120 is moved up or down, according as the
type-die-carrier of the typograph-machine is elevated or lowered to bring a type-die
of another series of type-dies into position for operation. Sliding plate 120, at
either end thereof, is provided with a rack, 131. With racks 131 mesh, respectively,
a toothed sector, 132, sectors 132 being pivoted, as at 133, to the adjacent
bracket 104. Toothed sectors 132, (see Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 26) are pivotally connected
with sliding-plates or blocks 103, by means of a link, 134, slides 103 operating in
suitably inclined recesses, 135, in the respective arms or brackets 104, and being
held in place (see Figs. 26 and 28) by means of cap-plates or bars, 136, that are
secured, preferably, by means of screws to the respective brackets, sliding-plates
or blocks 103 carrying the shafts that support the paper-carriage as hereinbefore
indicated, and it will readily be observed that by means of the mechanism just
described, the paper-carriage is moved in an inclined plane and brought in the
proper position to enable the paper on the cylindrical platen, to receive the imprint
of the proper type of the type-levers, that is, to receive the imprint of that type of
the type-lever that corresponds to the type of the type-die that has been brought in
position for operation.
The paper-carriage of the typewriter mechanism having been elevated, as herein-
before described with the elevation of the type-die-carrier of the typograph-
mechanism, upon again lowering said type-die-carrier, the paper-carriage of the

page_text: typewriter mechanism will likewise be lowered, but to assist the return movement
of the paper-carriage, arms 99 of bar 93, at their rear or upper end, are provided,
respectively, with a pin or shoulder, 140, (see Fig. 9) between which and ear or
sleeve 100 of the paper-carriage-frame, through which the respective arm or bar 93
passes, is mounted and confined upon said arm a spring, as at 141, that is adapted
to act in the direction to return the paper-carriage to its lowermost position.
142 represents an inking-roller supported at the forward end of a forwardly-
projecting arm or bracket, 143, (see Figs. 1, 2 and 3) rigidly secured, as at 144,
(see dotted lines Fig. 3) to the bed of the typewriter-mechanism, or rather to a cap-
plate, 127, secured to the bed, as at 127, forward and over arm 127 of slide 120.
The location of said inking-roller relative to the type-levers is such that the levers
when moved from one side of the machine to the other, in the operation of the
machine, will glide over the periphery of said inking-roller, thereby inking the type
of the type-levers.
A feature of no inconsiderable importance consists in the provision of suitable
means, whereby lateral motion of the free ends of the type-levers, in their
operation, (that would result in an inaccurate justification of the type-written
work) is avoided. Preferable means for this purpose is shown in Figs. 1 and 3,
wherein 145 represents a forwardly-projecting arm rigid with the bed of the
typewriter mechanism. Arm 145, at its forward end, is provided with an open-
ended Y-shaped slot 146, that is, the forward or upper end of slot 146 is open and
the upper portion of the side-walls of said slot flare outwardly, that is, diverge to
facilitate the entrance of the type-lever, the lower portion of said slot being reduced
in size to just accommodate said lever and being located in the same vertical plane
with the point at which the imprint is made. Arm or fork 145 thus constitutes a
guide that prevents any lateral movement or deflection of the free ends of the type-
levers in performing their functions; hence there is no liability of an inaccurate
justification in the work of the type-levers, and the horizontal movement of
the paper-carriage of the typewriter mechanism being effected by means operatively
connected with the matrix-blank or matrix-feeding mechanism of the typograph
mechanism, it follows that the same accuracy is had in the justification of the
type-written work as in the work on the matrix by the dies of the typographic
mechanism.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
