Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 19, rain.
Application filed February 16; 1915. Serial No. 8,566.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN B. WALsH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Type-Mold Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to molds for type casting machines and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
in linotype machines it is customary to deliver molten type metal from a melting pot into the rear side of a slotted mold which is momentarily closed at the front by a composed line of matrices presented there to, the result being the production of a slug of linotype bearing on one edge the type characters to print a line. In the use of these machines it is necessary to change the length of the mold slot according to the length or measure ofthe slugs required, and it is also necessary to vary the width of the slot in order to change the thickness of the slug according to the size of the type characters to be formed therein.
The object of the present invention is to provide simple and efficient means in the form of a molder structure wherein the said slot may be varied in length and thickness at will and without requiring the necessity of manipulating, removing or adding to the structure an excessive number of parts.
l'Vitli the above object in view the structure includes a body member adapted to be applied to the frameof the linotype machine, and a cap member movably mounted upon the body member with means for securing the cap member in fixed position with relation to the body member after the same has been adjusted. The said cap member is adjustable longitudinally and transversely with relation to the body member and the space between the body member and the cap member constitutes the slot hereinbefore referred to in which the slug is cast.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the mold. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the same with parts broken away and parts in section. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the same cut on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar view out on the line 1% of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a similar view out on the line 5+5 of Fig. 1. Fig.6 is a similar view out ,onthe line of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the body merriber of the mold. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the cap member of the mold with partsremoved. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a plate member which is normally carried by the cap. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a bracket adapted to support the cap from the body member. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a gage plate which when applied. regulates the point or transverse measure ofthe slot and the slug which is cast in the slot. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of a retaining block which may be in serte'd between the body member and the cap member for holding the said members at adjusted positions with relation to each other.
The mold comprises a body member 1 adapted to be applied to the frame of a linotype machine in any suitable or approved manner. The member 1 is provided with a shelf portion 2 having a plane upper surface 3. The said plane upper surface serves as the bottom of the mold or slot in which the slug is cast. A. cleat at is fixed to one end of the body member 1 and is adapted to receive a block 5 one of which is indicated in the perspective view Fig. 12. It is to be understood that a series of blocks 5 may be provided and the individual blocks of the said series may be of different sizes consequently when the larger blocks of the series are placed in the cleat 4 portions of the said blocks will project over the plane surface 3 of the body member. The body member 1 is provided at that end opposite the end thereof at which the cleat 4 is located with a vertically disposed channel 6 which is located in one side of the said body member. A bar 7 is disposed transversely across the channel 6 at a point approXimately midway between the ends thereof and the said bar is held in position by means of screws 8 or other suitable securing devices. A pin 9 is mounted upon the body member 1 and projects above the surface 3 thereof; The said pin is located in the vicinity of that end of the body member 1 at which the cleat 1 is mounted.
A bracket 10 is provided at its under side with spaced lugs 11 which are slidably received in the channel 6 and the outer surfaces of which fit snugly against the side walls of the said channel. A screw 12 passes through the space between the lugs 11 and the inner end of the said screw is tapped into the body member 1 as best shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing. A washer 13 is mounted upon the screw 12 adjacent the head thereof in the usual manner.- A gage plate 14 is mounted upon the screw 12 and is interposed between the upper portion of the bracket and the adjacent side of the bar 7 l/Vhen the screw 12 is tightened the said gage plate is held in position whereby the upper part of the bracket 10 is held at a fixed position with relation to the cross bar 7 and the body member 1 upon which the said cross bar is mounted. The gage plates 14 may be of different sizes. But a single plate is shown in Fig. 11 of the drawing. Inasmuch as the dimensions of the said plates vary a plate of large dimension interposed between the bracket 10 and the cross bar 7 will space the said brackets for a greater distance from the body member 1 than a plate of smaller dimensions similarly placed.
The bracket member 10 is provided at its upper side with a slot 15 which is located in longitudinal alinement with a plane traversing the length of the'body member 1.
The said bracket member 10 is further provided at one end with an tip-standing flange 16 and at its other end with a forwardly disposed lug 17 the said lug; 17 being adapted to move along the corner portion of the shelf 2 of the body member 1 as most clearly indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawing.
A cap member 18 is provided at one end with a pin 19 which is slidably. received in the slot 15 of the bracket member 10. A
gage plate 20 is inserted between the end ofthe cap member 18 and the flange 16 and serves as means for holding the said cap member at a desired distance from the said flange. A gage plate 20 of a single size is shown in the drawing but it is to be understood that these plates may be of different sizes and consequently when larger plates are inserted between the cap member and the said flange the said cap member is held spaced for a comparatively considerable distance from the flange while if a plate of small dimension is inserted between the cap member and the flange the said cap member is positioned comparatively close to the lange. The cap member 18 is provided at one side with a series of vertically disposed channels 21 the upper ends of which are closed by means of a plate 22 secured in any suitable manner to the said cap member. Plate sections 24 are provided with spaced lugs 23 which fit snugly in the channels 21. These plate sections may be secured in fixed positions'with relation to the cap member 18 by means of screws 25 which pass transversely through the lugs and enter the cap member or the said screws 25 may be eliminated andthe plate sections may be freely adjusted with relation to the cap member 18. Screws 26 pass through the spaces between the lugs 23 and are provided with washers 27 which bear against the outer surfaces of the lugs 23 when the said screws are tightened. The under surfaces of the plate sections 24 constitute the top of the mold in which the slug may be cast and by adjusting the sections 24 toward or away from the upper surface of the shelf 2 the said space may be varied in transverse thickness whereby a slug of desired transverse dimension may be cast. Also the length of the slug may be regulated by positioning one or more of the plate sections at the left as shown in Fig. l of the drawing in contact with the upper surface of the shelf 2. The plate sections 24 are provided at one corner with shoulders 28 (see Fig. 2) and the said plate sections at the next adjacent corner are provided with recesses. The recess of one plate section is adapted to receive the shoulder of the next adjacent recess and consequently the plate sections may move independently of each other toward or away from the shelf 2 but they are restrained against edgewise movement with relation to each other by means of the said shoulders and the recesses and the securing devices which hold the said plate sections in position upon the cap. One of the terminal plate sections 24 of the series of plate sections is provided at its under side with a slot 29 which receives the upper end portion of the pin 9. Also a gage plate 14' similar to the plate 14 hereinbefore described is placed on the screw 26 of the said terminal plate section and serves as means for spacing the said terminal plate section from the plate 22 as best indicated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawing.
It is. apparent that when the cap member 18 is moved longitudinally above the shelf 2 the slot 29 moves transversely across the pin 9 but the said pin prevents the plate section containing the slot 29 from moving transversely with relation to the body member 1 also the pin 19 which enters the slot 15 may move along the said slot but the said pin prevents that end portion of the cap member 18 to which it is attached from moving transversely with relation to the bracket 10.
' In operation the mold may be manipulated as follows: The length of the slug to be cast being determined the plate sections 24 are adjusted on the cap member 18 whereby the space left for the reception of the slug is approximately the size coincident with the size of the slug in point of length or slightly longer than the slug. A gage plate 20 of proper size is then placed upon the bracket 10 between the flange 16 and the adjacent end of the cap member 18 and the said cap member 18 is moved in contact with the adjacent edge of the said gage plate. A block 5 of suitable size is then inserted in the cleat 4 between the said cleat and the adjacent end of the terminal plate section 24 having the slot 29. As the said block fits tight in the said cleat the cap member 18 is held tightly against the gage plate 20. Thus the length of the opening between the shelf portion 2 of the body member 1 and the plate sections is adjusted. When it is desired to adjust the transverse dimension of the said space, plates of suitable size are placed upon the screws 12 and 26 provided for the same. The plate let holds the bracket 10 at a desired distance from the cross bar 7 and the plate 14 holds the end portion of the cap member 18 opposite that end which is connected with the bracket 10 at a suitable distance from the adjacent plate section 24:. In view of the fact that the said plate section 24 is the terminal plate section provided with the slot 29 and inasmuch as the said plate section remains permanently in contact with the up per surface of the shelf 2 the transverse breadth or dimension of the space between the upper surface of the shelf and the superposed plate section 24 is regulated according to the dimensions of the plates 14: and 14. Therefore it will be seen that simple and eflicient means is provided for ad usting the measurement of a slug of linotype in ems and points and that the parts of the mold may be easily and quickly manipulated to effect the desired adjustment.
Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. A mold comprising a body member, a bracket member mounted upon the body member, a cap member adjustably mounted upon the bracket member, plate sections carried by the cap member, and a gage plate detachably mounted on the bracket member and engaging the cap member.
A mold comprising a body member, a bracket member mounted upon the body member for adjustment transversely thereof, a cap member carried by the bracket member, plate sections carried by the cap member, and a gage plate detachably mounted on the body member and engaging the bracket member.
3. A mold comprising a body member, a bracket member adjustably mounted thereon, a cap member adjustably mounted upon the bracket member, plate sections carried by the cap member and a gage plate detachably mounted on the bracket member and engaging the cap member.
4. A mold comprising a body member, a bracket member mounted upon the body member for adjustment transversely thereof and having a slot disposed longitudinally of the body member, a cap member having a pin entering the said slot, a gage plate mounted upon the bracket member and engaging the cap member, plate sections adjustably mounted upon the cap member, a pin carried by the body member, one of said plate sections having aslot which receives said pin, a cleat carried by the body member and a block inserted in the cleat and engaging the edge of the slotted plate section.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
