Nikiaus Meier in Lucerne. Means for excluding lines in which a part of the interword spaces a fixed size and a part a variable size Patented in the German Empire on July 10, 1921. For letter casting and typesetting machines that are operated by means of register strips It has already been proposed to exclude the lines by removing the line surplus or the line dropout measured and on a; e maximum number of exclusion characters is distributed while the rest of the exclusion characters are given a medium size. This thought is also applied to the single-letter casting and. Setting machine according to ■ made use of the invention, in which by means of keystrokes one after the other Matern be placed on a mold for the purpose of covering. Here, too, some of the spaces between words should be fixed mean and one part a variable size. This changeability is effected according to the invention in that first a number of fixed in the sentence Spatien is inserted, which are then narrowed in the final movement so that they go down to below the size of the finally inserted narrower spaces. The machine can then be set up in such a way that for the first (e.g. four) Spatien required spaces are accommodated in a magazine from which they are pushed into the collecting channel by hitting a button, whereupon the magazine spade pusher establishes a connection between button and foundry and the following spaces when striking this key can be made by casting, whereupon the extended line Is guided backwards and on the way into the ship which is shortened to the right size Spatien poured and when inserting into the row the provisional spaces that are too large! into the sideways for the inclusion: pushed magazine are pushed back. By the fact that the first type of to be narrowed Magazine spaces always only for a certain number (e.g. 4) of word character spaces is used, it is achieved that the division of the excess line length is always done by a constant number, which significantly simplifies the mechanism, as well as the replacement, d. H. the replacement of the provisional spaces with final, narrowed spaces, equal in time; limited, for all lines, what for Setting machines, where the keyboard and the casting machine are directly connected, is necessary, because the typesetter gets used to this period of time. This elimination process, which Spaces of eight points in a certain number in addition to those of five points (suppose it is about corpus cones) used in a line, therefore does not have an unfavorable effect on the composition, because when narrowing of the lines, these eight-point spaces are always replaced by weaker ones, that is, from those that were used in relation to the others in the line Five-point patien only have a small plus or a minus, can be replaced. Due to the possibility of separating the line, translating the line by around twelve points forms the Rule what makes up, for example, four provisional spaces each three points, where in this case the provisional spaces are replaced by such a thickness is the same as the spaces already inserted, which do not need to be narrowed. In the drawing, an exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown represents, namely shows: Fig. Ι a plan with a collecting channel, in which the letters and spaces, cast one after the other in a casting chamber, are first with a magazine to accommodate preliminary spaces for the first! four spaces and with the measuring device for the spaces to be finally poured, Fig. 2 is a section along the line AB in Fig. 1 with the parts for forming the closed casting chamber and the keyboard, Fig. 3 is a perspective view, Fig. 4 to 7 various matern levers and Fig. 8 is a detail.
After pressing a button (Fig. 2), the die lever 10 is thrown onto the casting chamber 34, which is thrown by the
