Abstract

13,505. Dodge, P. T. June 11. Linotype machines.-Relates to means for facilitating the removal of the magazines in machines having one or more magazines which are removed by sliding them downwards and forwards. In order to obviate the necessity of raising the magazines to enable them to pass over the channel plate which conducts the matrices to the assembler, the channel plate is arranged to be movable out of the path of the magazines. The magazines B are mounted on fixed guides a on the main frame A and can be removed by sliding them forwards out of the frame. The matrices pass over a vertically - adjustable bridge L and through the channel plate G on to the travelling belt H. The channel plate is in two parts connected by an horizontal pivot g<1> so that the upper part may be turned down out of the path of the magazines. The upper part of the channel plate is held in its normal position by means such as latches g<2>. The channel plate may be in one piece rotatable about a vertical axis, or may be otherwise so mounted as to be movable to and from the operative position.
