tasas INTERCHANG-EABLE-STEEL-TYPE HOLDER.
Application filed June 6,
withstanding the complete elimination of' springs and all other elasticy tension means, yet permitting the type to be expeditiously expelled from the holder without grasping the latter.
Ato-ordinate object of the invention is to provide a durable holder of simple construction which embraces the type in such j a manner that the application of force to the holder causes the type to be more firmly gripped and transmits the impact of the applied force directly to the holder thereby relieving the less durable parts of the holder from strain. l
VA further object ofthe invention is to provide a type holder which embodies ya movable element mounted in the holder body in such a manner that the type is supported directly thereon, is clamped by the movable part and expelled by the'movement of the latter.
l Additional objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the present preferred form of the invention taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, Vwherein Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional View of a holder constructed in accordance with this invention illustrating its application;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational View of the holder; and
' Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same.
The holder of the present invention consists of a body portion preferably made of metal and of any desired configuration although in the presentinstance the butt or impact end 4 thereoic is substantially cylindrical while the opposite end 5 is preferably of oblong cross sectional configuration. A portion of one face of the end 5 is removed 1923. serial No. 643,653.
to provide a recess 6 in which an element generally designated 7 is hinged. rlhe element 7 in the present instance constitutes a movable j aw which co-acts with a portion 8 of the upper end of the holder bodyk said portion 8 capacitating as a fixed jaw. A portion of the inner wall of the element 7, approximately midway the ends of the latter, is extended inwardly to provide a supporting ledge 8 the upper face of which is fiat for engagement with type or die characters 9. The bottom face ofthe ledge is slightly rounded to facilitate movement of the latter across the wall 10 which latter comprises the bottom of the recess 6. rlkhe wall 10 is intersected by an elongated recess l1 which communicates with the recess 6 and is relatively narrower than the latter.
Upon reference to Fig. 2 of the drawings,
it will be apparent that the upper end of the element or jaw 7 is relatively long so as to complement the recess 6. The lower end of the said jaw issues into a relatively narow abutment 12 which'is movable into the recess 11 on an aXis 13. The inner wall of the abutment 12 tapers and is adaptedto be impinged by the inner end of a screw shank 14. The shank 14 is shown in the present instance to issue into a handle 15 although it is to be understood that any other type of terminal may be associated with said shank toV urge the latter into engagement with or away from the abutment 12.
A rib 15 is formed on the inner face of the fixed j aw 8 and complements corresponding recesses formed in the type or dies 9. Consequently, when the type or dies are deposited in the recesses 6 and are in proper position on the ledge 8, the rib 15 will engage the recesses in the-type or dies to pre vent casual displacement of the latter.
In use of this holder, the type is deposited inthe recess 6 as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings following which the threaded shank 14 is urged intorengagement with the abutment 12 at the lower end of the jaw 7 by rotation of the handle 15. When the jaw 7 has been urged into the desired contiguity with the type, pressure is applied to the limpact end of the holder in a manner well known in the art. When it is desired to' release the type the operator may twist the handle as he swings the holder through the arc of a circle thereby retracting the handle 15 and permitting the abutment end 12 of the jaw to recede into the recess 11.
tra:
This cycle ot operation permits the type to move laterally so as to disengage the saine from the rib 15 allowing the type to be expelled from the holder by the forward movement of the ledge 8.
Manitestly, it is unnecessary for the operator to touch the holder which becomes heated when used for stamping hot materials by a hammer or other means. Also, it will be noted that the outer face of the jaw 7 projects appreciably beyond the outer tace oi' the holder body so that the lower end of the jaw may be manually pressed into the recess ll for expelling the type without the necessity of the hands of the operator coming in contact with the holder.
From the above, it is apparent that the type or dies are positively held in the holder and the application of force to the impact end of the holder causes the type to be more iirmly gripped by the jaw 7 in an obvious manner. Notwithstanding this positive and eiiective gripping of the type the latter can be quickly released and changed. Furthermore, when the type or dies are forced inwardly against the ledge 8 under pressure on the impact end of the holder, there'will `be no strain on the axis 13 of the pivoted jaw 7 since the ledge comes in contact with the wall l0 thereby positively transmitting stress to the body of the holder instead ot to the axis or pivot pin 13.
` It is to be understood that various changes v may be made in this device especially in the details or construction, proportion and arrangement of parts within the yscope of the claims hereto appended.
Vhat is claimed is 1. An interchangeable steel type` holder including a portable steel stamping die holding body provided with a type receiving cavity one of the walls of which is removed, and an element mounted in said body at the point where the wall is removed, said element being equipped with a type receiving ledge and movable to facilitate introduction ot the type into and removal of the same from the type receiving cavity of the body.
2. A type holder including 'a body having a recess therein, a aw pivotally mounted in K said recess and provided with' a type' supporting extension projecting into the latter,
and screw means to urge said jaw into engagement with the type.
3. A type holder including a body provided with a type receiving recess, a jaw pivotally mounted in said recess and having an extension thereon to receive the type, said extension being seated on the bottom wall of said recess to prevent strain on the jaw when force is appliedto the holder.
4. A type holder of the character described including a holder body, an element movably mounted in said body and adapted to receive said type, means to ret-ain said element in engagement with the type, said clement being movable upon release of said means to eject the type.
5. A type holder of the character described including a type holding body, an element pivotally mounted in said body having an extension thereon to support the type, a portion of said element being movable into the body to urge the extension against the type for projecting the latter from the holder.
6. A type holder of the character described including a holder, an element movably mounted in the holder including a type supporting extension, screw means to force the outer end of said element in engagement with the type, said means being releasable to permit the inner end of the element to recede in the holder for urging the extension against the type to eject the latter.
7. An interchangeable steel type holder including a body, a type clamp mounted in said body, and a screw shank one end of which is formed to provide a handle operable to urge the clamp into engagement with the type.
8. A steel type holder including a portable steel stamping die holding body, a type supporting and clamping element mounted in said body, the type contacting surfaces of said body and element being dat to snugly embrace the opposite sides and bottom of the type and movable when pressure is e2;- erted on the type to urge the clamping element into more-intimate contact with the type.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
