The invention described below relates to a type setting machine of the by patent no. 45055, and aims to improve the Type setting mechanism, especially those devices that remove the letters from the letter conveyor belt Transfer to the angle hook to increase the performance of the entire machine.

In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is the outline of the front part of the letter conveyor belt and the angle hook.

Fig. 2 is a side view of these parts;

Fig. 3 is a view of the devices Fig. 1 and 2 from the left;

Fig. 4 is a section along the line 4-4 of Fig. 1 on a larger scale and

FIG. 5 shows a section along the line 5-5, FIG. 6, also drawn on a larger scale;

Fig. 6 gives a section along line 6-6, Fig. 2,

Fig. 7 shows a horizontal section along line γ-γ, Fig. 6, and

8 and 9 are inner and outer views of the front plate on the angle hook.

A is the setting cylinder, 40 is the rotating type table, 3 is the type conveyor belt ¹ and 34 is the angle hook of the setting machine.

In place of the lifting wheels of patent specification no. 45055 an upward and downward pusher is now used, which picks up the letter leaving the letter conveyor belt and brings it into the angle hook. The disk 26, around which the letter conveyor belt 3 lies at its front end, is pushed onto a pin which is seated on the head plate 22. This head plate 22 moves vertically up and down between flanges 20 on the plate 39 and at its end carries the pusher 19, which is rotatably arranged and whose soap facing the conveyor belt 3 is designed according to the curvature of the disk 26. The upper edge of the pusher 19 is in the lowest position of the top plate 22 in alignment with the letter conveyor belt 3, and that letter a, which comes to rest on the pusher 19, is transferred to the angle hook and in the same during the upward movement of the same held by special means still to be specifically described. The head plate 22 with the pusher 19 on the disk 26 receives a very rapid upward and downward movement from the eccentric or the crank 12 at the end of the crankshaft 13, which is rotatably arranged in a bearing on the plate 27, which plate 27 in turn with that 39 is firmly connected. The shaft 13 carries a pinion gear 14 which engages with the gear 15 on the shaft 16. The latter is driven by the vertical shaft 32 by a pulley 29 and a cord 79. The manner of movement of the vertical shaft 32 is the same as that of the shaft also designated in Patent Specification No. 45055.

To now the letter conveyor belt 3 transmitted through the disk 26 up and To allow downward movement is the front part of the guide plate 21 and the plate 46,

which carries the conveyor belt at the front end (FIG. 2), arranged to be rotatable about a pin 11. These parts swing around pegs 11 when the head plate 22 moves upwards thus allowing the sling to go up.

The front plate ι ι ο, Fig. 2, which the The outer wall of the lower end of the angle hook forms and extends to below the pusher 19 extends down, has a slot in which the hook 25, Fig. 6, is rotatably arranged.

This is always pressed with its lower end inwards by a spring 17 the letters as soon as they have been lifted up one by one by the pusher, catch. A screw 18 can rotate the hook 25 after the angle hook to be regulated.

In front of the hook 25, the spring 23 is also inserted into the angle hook, which to lie in a slot in the front panel 11 o comes and the end of which is just above the nose 9 on the hook 25 (see. Fig. 6). She has that Endeavor and the purpose, the individual types on the back wall of the angle hook to press. To prevent the types from being too sharp against the leg of the angle hook driven and injured there, a spring 8 is provided on the plate 110, which is bent at its lower protruding end, so that the angle hook reaching letters bump with their edge against this bent end of the spring 8 and injuring the heads of the letters is prevented by attaching the legs of the angle hook (see FIGS. 7, 8 and 9).

The plate 110 is around the one covered by it To make part of the angle hook more accessible to a pin 24, Fig. 5, rotatable so that it can be brought into a horizontal position and completely removed. While the machine is working, the plate is held in place by a screw 28 inserted into the slot 30 engages on the body of the angle hook (Figs. 8 and 9).

In order to find the point up to which the pusher enters the To be able to regulate the height, the plate 27 can be adjusted on that 39 by means of adjusting screws 31 attached.

In order to achieve that the letters at the transition to the pusher and into the angle hook Always getting onto the pusher in the correct position is a back and forth catcher 3 5 provided, which is easily rotatable on the reciprocating rod 36 and with its front end rests on the letter conveyor 3. The rod 36 is seated an arm 37, which in turn is screwed to the slide 38, FIG. 4. The carriage 38 has a rack 7, in which the wheel 6 engages, which is actuated by means of the pinion 5 from the rack 41, which is connected to the top plate 22 by pin 4 (which extends through the plate 39) stands.

As a result, the catcher 35 makes a forward and backward movement each time Vertical movement of the head plate 22 respectively. of the pusher 19, and that finds the forward movement of the catcher takes place at the same time as the upward movement of the pusher, so that each letter, when it passes through the pusher is lifted up, at the same time being propelled forward by the catcher (if this should be necessary) and enters the angle hook in the correct position.

To now close the letter line when it moves forward in the angle hook adjust, the rod 38 is provided with a second arm 42 (see Fig. 4). On this arm sits the rod 43, which reaches under the angle hook 34 and on its front End of the straightening plate 44 carries which when going back and forth against the rod 38 The head of the letters strikes and thus levels the line. The plate 44 is on its inner Surface covered with fur or other elastic material.

The mode of operation of the mechanism is as follows: The letter ejected from the channels of the setting cylinder A on the rotating table 40 reaches the letter conveyor belt 3 and is guided forward between the guide plates 21 between the oval-shaped rollers 10.

The letter then passes under the catcher 35, which is lifted from the letter, and arrives at the pusher 19, as indicated in FIG. 5. When the If necessary, it is pushed forward by the catcher 35 and over the nose 9 lifted up on hook 25. Here the letter is held by the nose 9 until a new letter moves up in the manner described. The following types then form the type series in the angle hook.

If at any time two types follow one another so closely that the second one too the first one comes into contact when this first letter is pushed into the angle hook, so the catcher 35, which is accordingly sufficiently loaded, prefst the second type downwards, when bumpers and straps go down again, and the second letter gets so again their correct position on the conveyor belt, corresponding to the good functioning of the machine respectively the pusher.
