Description

anni affine,
WILLIAM MCNAUGHTON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO JOHN' H. TRUMBULL, OF SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No. 111,663, dated February 7, 1871,.
lMPROVEMEN`l IN TYPE-HOLDERS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters '.Eaceni:l and making part of the same.
'Ihc object oi' my invention is to construct adcvice in which one or more lilies of type can be set or placed, and there held in place so that the sanre'(with the device) can he readily handled as a whole without special care and without danger of making pi of the saine. AndI accomplish this by means ot' a strip of sheet-brass or other Suitable metal ofthe width ot' al1 ordinarydead, having the ends turned up at Vright angles forming two flanges, and having a spring on the inside of one flange.
My device may be called a type-holder.
ln the drawing- A represents a strip/of sheet-metal having a flange, u, at each end, at right angles with therstrip.
Onthe inside of one flange (the outer one is preferred) is a spring, 1) which may conveniently be made from a thin narrow kstrip of steel, o`ne end (the upper end is preferred) being securely fastened to the ilange, the other end being in cont-act or nearly so with the other end of the lange, but not fastened thereto.
'Ihc langesshouldbe no wider than the thiekues` of the type O, with which the device is to be used,
and the extreme length of the device should-bejust equal to the length of a lline of' the matter or form A with which it is to be used.
It can then be placed in the stick used in setting up the matter .to be' printed, a line of typ can beV set therein and when so justiied that the spring will press with someforce against the type or the quads B, the type-holder with the type therein can he removed from the stiel; with one hand without care, can be place-d in any-.position and handled as may be necessary with one hand, and without danger of makingpi ofthe type.
-It' it is desired to so construct the device that it will hold two or more lines of type, the flanges must be correspondingly increased in width, as well as the spring, and it will be best to have a separate spring for each line of type in the device, so that each line may be independently justified and without 'reference to any other line.
Each flange may be provided'wit-h a spring, but this will not be necessary.
Springs of other'material and form may be used', but I regard the form shown as best.
My device will be found useful not only in printing railroad-tickets, both local` and coupon, but in printing any form where frequent changes are made. With my'device the required changes can be made in less than half the time now -required.
What I claim as new is as follows: 'lhe plate A, when provided with the flanges a a.
and spring Il, substantially as and fer.. the purpose specilied.
