IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS GALLEY-RESTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,228, dated September 30, 1873; application filed August 25, 1873.

' the type-boxes.

The object of our invention is to provide a means for holding the galley in a more convenient position when correcting proof or the like, as well as to avoid the necessity of frequent change in order to get at the type under it when it is laid on the cases, as it usually is. I

The device consists of the arm A and upright a, at right angles on the outer end. The inner end has a rounded head, with a pin, D, centrally beneath it, and a conic lug, b, in the'angle of the arm and pin. There is also a brace, B, under the arm, diverging, say, at an angle of twenty degrees. This brace is also furnished with a head and pin,

E. A screw-thread is cut on. the end 6 of said,

pin for a nut, F. It is also provided with a conic lug, I). These pins D E are in a direct line vertically, each made to fit the perforated bearing-lug I, Fig. 2, a pair of which are so placed apart as to receive the combined arm and brace forming the bracket,-Fig. 1, and on which they turn and lock in various positions. The bearings I, Fig. 2, are centrally enlarged. An anterior section of the circular head K is elevated, with a conic notch, N, into which the conic lugs b look, when the brackets are at right angles, by elevating the bracket, for which purpose the nut F allows sufficient play, and yet prevents the bracket from being lifted out altogether, unless it is desirable to do so by removing the nut from the pintle or pin E of the brace B. Thus the combined bracket or arm A, with its brace B, can be turned wholly to either side and locked against the shoulders formed by the central raised segment K. Their application being corrected and adjusted. Thus the galley is directly before you, near at hand, without encumber-ing the type-boxes in the case, and it afi'ords every facility tocorrect proof.

Much time is saved by the use of these brackets. When not required they can be turned up flat against the case, so as to be perfectly out of the way.

These brackets are applicable at various points. Attached to the imposing-stone, they are especially convenient to the make-up.

A single pair of brackets may be changed from one rack to another by simply having the bearings duplicated, to which they can readily be transferred.

We are not aware that any device substantially like this has ever been known or used, and We deem it highly useful; and the time saved will soon compensate for the trifling cost expended, and a permanent benefit secured.

What we claim is- The bracket, with its arm A, brace B, and pins D E, and conic lugs b, in combination with the perforated bearing K N, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.
