matrices to the mold, and the vise jaws 8 serve in the usual Way to clamp the line of matrices and to hold the matrices in correct position during the casting operation.
After the slug has been cast, the mold wheel is rotated in the usual way ton position where the ejector removes the cast slug from the mold, and during the removal or ejection of the slug from the mold, the sides thereof are In the present instance, 9 and 10 designate the trimming knives and these knives are positioned to receive the slug between them when the slug is ejected from the mold. Heretoforc, it 5 has been the practice to'employ a trimming mechanism wherein one knife was fixed or occupied a constant position and the other knife was adjustable. According to the present invention, however, both of the trimming knives are adjustable whereby they may be set to conform to the different settings of the adjustable mbld members 4 and 5. In the construction shown in the present instance, the trimming knives 9 and 10 are both mounted on aslide or shiftable car- 'rier 11, this slide being'mounted preferably ..on the vise fraine l2 andi's held and guided 'thereomby gibs 13, I4 and 15. Means is provided for adjusting the slide according to the different settings of the trimming knives, an adjusting screw 16 being shown in the present instance which is journaled in a bearin 17 formed on the slide and has threads which coiiperate with an abutment A milled head or wheel 19 is provided on the screw for operating it and a pointer 20 may be provided to co'riperate with a graduated scale 21 on the milled head or wheel. Means is, also provided for locking'or retaining the slide in different adjusted positions, one of the gibs (the gib 15 in the present instance) being provided with a clamp 22 embodying a screw 23 and a nut 24, the latter having an operating handle 25 which may be manipulated readily to clamp and release the slide. The knife 9 in the construction shown is attached to this slide 11 and it may be, fixed on the slide while the knife 10 is supported or carried by the slide and is provided with means for adjusting its relation to the slide. Such adjusting means may be of different kinds, that shown in the present instance being fully disclosed and claimed in the pending application of William E. Bertram, Serial No. 661,936 filed November 23, 1911, it embodying, briefly, a knife-block 26 which is' secured to the lil s 27 on the slide, a member 28 which is shiftable on the knife-block by the handle .29, the knife 10 being secured to and car-- ried by the shiitable member 28, and a pin 30 15 provided which is ada ted to 006perate with the graduated devi e 31 position the knife for the diil'ereii sized slugs.
a machine embodyin the present'invention, the mold body an cap are set apart as usual by interposing liners of appropriate thickness for. the production of slugs of the desired size, and the entire mold is shifted with respect to the mold wheel to a predetermined point, the slug-receiving opening between the trimming knives may be set by the handle 29 which adjuststhe knife 10, and both trimming knives may be shifted quickly and easily to a position to correspond with that of the mold by manipulation of the wheel 19 which operates to shift the slide 11 carrying both knives, I
I claim as my invention 1. The combination of a mold for casting linotype slugs, trimming mechanism for shaving the sides of the slugs, and means for bodily setting in diflerent predetermined positions the entire trimming mechanism transversely to the mold-cavity to conform to varying positions of the mold.
2, The combination of a mold for casting linotype slugs, the mold being adjustable to vary the size and position of the cavity thereof, and trimming mechanism for shav- In operating ing the sides of the slugs, embodying knives adjus able bodil in a direction transversely of the mold cavity to conform to variations in the position of the mold cavity.
3. The combination of a mold for easting linotype slugs,
cavity thereof, and trimming mechanism for shaving the sides of the slugs, embodying knives adjustable relatively accordin to the size of the mold cavity and also ad justable bodily in a direction transversely of the mold cavity to conform, to the position of the moldcavity.
4. The combination of a mold for casting linotype slugs, mechanism for trimming the sides of the slugs, embodying a pair of knives, means for adjusting one of said knives relatively to the other according to the size of the slugs, and means for ad usting the knives bodily in a direction transversely of the "mold cavity to conform to the 5 position occupied by the mold. if
5. The combination of a mold forcasting linotype slugs, and mechanilgi for trimming opening between them accordifi .tothe size the mold'being adjust able to vary the size and position of thev of the g'n m means for shifting th V in a direction transversely of the mold cavity to position the knives according to the position occupied by the mold.
6. In a-linotype machine, the combination of a main frame, a mold, a mold-carrying wheel, trimming mechanisms including a kmfe'ior trimming the sideof the slug mezeze 5 posite side of the mold Wheel to facilitate adjustment In testimqny whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses. f
