Application tiled October 17, 1907. Serial No. 897,766.

To all whom'it'may concern:

Be it known that I. ALBERT H." BATES, a' l citizen of the United States, residing atf Cleveland, in the' county of Cuyahova and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement 1n Duplicating- Machines,` of which thefollowimf'is a full,l clear, andiexact descript-lom.reference 'be-" ,Another object is `to provide simple and eiiective mea'ns for causing the transfer of type between suitable type holders, as a storage member and a printing member.

The invention may thus take a form simi-. l

lar in some' respects to the machine commercially known as the multigraph.

In its preferred vform o embodiment the present inventionI has a rotary printing drum adapted to carry lines of individual type, a storage drum, a platen cooperating withfthe printing drum, an inking ribbon through which the printing is efected,- these features being the'gfrequent ones in the multigra h.V When so`embodied, a peculiarity oft e present invent-ion lies in its means for4 assembling 4and distributing. This is/ accomplished by s\vinging, the;ma chine so that either drum is uppermost as desired the assembling or distribution from one dr itoithe other being accomplished by gravity f and lateral transference controlled byaisuitable key. The invention includes'means for accom )lishing this operation broadly; inclu es also the particular arrangement shown, fand various combinathinszof intermediate scope.

The invention may accordingly lbe most conveniently summarized as consisting 'of the combinations rif-.mechanisms or arts -hereinafter more fullyfxdescribed an set out in the form ofessenftial characteristics in the claims.

Y l, Referring to the parts by reference`-, ultiF lmerels,v i1() represents La suitable s'tandhaving `an'opven top. Rising from the'kfrontfandhack of this stand are standardsA 11fand'12.

Journaled in these` standardsis my multi-v -4 graph proper, which includes the frame 13,'

having' 'end members 14 andl and intermediate" members 16, a 'storage' drum 17 be-l tween the frame members 14 and 16, anda:4 l printing drum 18 between the frame members. 15 and 16, 'The machine is carried by the standards by reason of journaljpinsQO and 21 projecting inward from the standards 11 'and 12 respectively, and" occupying sockets in the intermediate frame imember 16. The journal pin 21 is preferably screw threaded into the standard l1Q and clamped by a nut 23, this construction'enahlinl the easy removal of myfm'ult-igraph. The 4vhree members I braced by through `bars 25. Theprinting drum carries spools v28 upon Which are adapted A to b c mounted a ribbon which may extend around the drum. T he storage drum and rinting drum are each formed with'the usuai) overhanging Trails, on which 'may be mounted lthe grooved type shown in perspective in Fig. 9.

29 indicates a small crank for adjusting the position of the eccentrically Vmounted platen 27.

30 and 31 indicate suitable vpaper feed rollers which may be driven in any suitable marmer, not shown.

mentioned 'are rigidly' sary for operation to assemble the type on the printing drum, pass the ribbon around it, rotate the printing drum, and feed the paper between the drum and platen, this being the usual multigraph operation. The rotation of the drumv is effected by a crank 40, which is connected with the drum in a manner hereinafter referred to. The assem- .bling and distribution features, which constitute the primary novelty of this machine,

will now be describedM y Mounted in K grooves in the opposite vv.faces of the Yintermediate frame plate 16V arev slides 41 and 42. These slides have openings 43 and '44 adapted to aline with channels of the respective drums and receive the type. Each slide is the same thickness as a single type, and each of the o nings 43 and 44 is provided with a pair o short ribs 46 adapted to receive the grooves in the type. It will be noticed thatthe storage drum, as shown, is of larger diameter than the "printing drum. Each of the slidesI 41 and 42 have sulicient movement'to enable the corresponding opening 43 or 44 to aline with either drum. Such movement of the slide therefore may cause the engagement of the owermost type dropping fromI the uppermost drum and its transfer to position where it will drop into the lowermost drum, there being openings n* through the framemember 16 to allow such 50.4 The opening 48 alines with the rpnt passage. This is briey. the operation of assembling and distributing and is the realv reason for making one drum larger than the other, though it is also an advantage to .have the storage drum larger in that it can carry I noretype.`

Between the two slides 41 and 42 in.the frame member 16 is a pair of openings 48 and 49, each rof these openings having ribs channel in the printing member, the ribs of these channels alining with the adjacent *..rails of the respective memberswhich define the channels. Between the two openings 48 and 49 is a smaller connecting opening occupied by a block 52. This block is of a width from front to back of the machine equal to the width of one of the openings 48 and 49 plus the intermediatt` opening. From this it results that if the block is in its foremost position the type channel 49 is open, the type channel 48 being interrupted`V and effectively closed by the presence of the block therein. On the oth'ci.`

hand, if the block is in its rearmost position, the type channel 48 is open and the channel 49 1s blocked. In its intermediate position both channels are partially blocked. lhe slide 41 is given a tendency' to assume its foremost position by a spring 53 connected at its forwardend to a stationary pin 54, and at its rear end to a pin 55 project-Y ing from the slide, the slide`being slotted around the pin 54. The slide 42 is given a tendency to assume its rear position by a spring 57 connected at its rear end with stationary pin 58 and at its forward end to a pin 59 projecting from the slide 42. Mounted in openings 60 and 6l in the frame member 16 are two short levers 63 and 64, each of which is pivoted in position and has connected with its Short arm beyond its pivot a link 65, 66, theother end of which is connected with the block' 52. The free ends of these levers 63 and 64 engage slots 67' and 68 in the corresponding slides 41 and 42. The slide 41 is provided -at its forward-end with a finger key 70 rigid there- ,with, by which it may be easily pushed rear ward; while the slide 42 is provided at its forward end with a finger key 71 in the form of a hook by which the slide may be drawn forward.

In the block 52 is an opening 72 which is occupied byan eccentric 73 on a shaft-,74. At its lower end this shaft carries a gear 75 meshing with a pinion 76 onva shaft 77 which carries a bevel gear 78 meshing with a stationary beveled rack 79 formed' on the rear face ofthe standard 11 and on theirear face of arc shaped arms 80 extending therefrom.

Fig. 6 sho`ws thenormal position of the transfer mechanism abovedescribed. That is, when the two drums are horizontal-and the machine isin position for printing. In this position the eccentric 73 holds the block 52 in its lintermediate position, and this-,block holds the levers 63 and 64 in their inter mediate` position, andthese levers hold the two slides in intermediate position, each of the springs 53 andl 57 being somewhat stretched. In this position ofthe p r s the openings 43 and 44` are outof al ngment with their respective drum channels,- s that no escape of type at the 'ends of the drums is rio permitted.
