TYPE CHASE I Filed April 2 1925 Patented Jan. 12, 1926.
UNITED STATES FREDERICK KOHNLE, OF`DAYTON, OHIO.
TYPE CHASE.
Application filed April 2,1925.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that 1, Fnnnnnicn Korinth, a citizen of the 'United States, and residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Type Chases, of which the following `specification is a full disclosure.
This invention relates generally to improvements in type chases, particularly adapted for use by laymen and specically designed for use in conjunction with price marking machines, to which the chase is adapted to be removably attached.
It is desirablein a chase of this character to provide means whereby each type body or character can be independently held, thereby permitting each to be conveniently and quickly interchanged or replaced without in any manner disturbing the relation of the others.
It is. also desirable'to have each row `of type independently supported and held in printing position without the use of clamping means. V
It is further desirable to provide for the support of rows of type respectively of different point, so that the size and, therefore, the prominence of certain lines may be obtained, when printed.
The main object of the invention is to provide a chase in which each row of type is independently supported upon an, adjustable partition, and properly held between adjacent adjustable partitions or adjustable partitions and the side walls of the chase frame, i
by providing a chase having a plurality ofy equally spaced opposingly related rows of.
grooves or notches and providing supporting plates or partitions, each adapted to be slidably introduced into and held in opposing grooves, all plates in parallel spaced relation, to guide, support and retain the type bodies.
Serial N0. 20,212.
Another object is to provide means whereby the type can be held in the chase in rows and in proper position and spaced relation for printing, without the use of clamping means.
Another object is to independently slidably support each type body in proper linearly spaced relation and thus eliminate the use of spacing slugs or like devices to preyent lateral displacement of thetype in the Other objects and certain advantages will appear from the description of the drawings, in which: p
Figure l is a top. plan view of the device showing the type supporting partitions Y equally spaced.
Figure 2 is a vertical cross section on line 2-2 of Figure l, showing the chase engaged within its holder or support, ready for printing. v
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section on line 3-3 of Figure l.
Figure 4L is a perspective view of one of the type bodies.
Figure 5- is a perspective view of one of the type supporting partitions.
The chase herein is of rectangular boxlilre form and comprises opposite side pieces l, each formed with an outwardly projecting slide or guide lug 2 adapted for engagement with `corresponding opposingly related parallel grooves 3 on the chase holder 4, which has the form of a boxing attachable to the proper printing machine. Side pieces l are connected in parallel relation and held by end pieces 5, each of which has aY series of vertical V-shaped grooves 7 therein, the width of the grooves and the spacing therebetween being herein,
j and preferably, the same. The grooves of the end. pieces are opposingly related and similar in number and spacing so that any two opposingly related grooves will receive and properly dispose a single type supporting and division plate, a plurality of such plates being provided.
The grooves or slots extend from what may be termed the back of the chase, only partially thereacross, to form shoulders 8 for limiting the degree of insertion of a plate 9, the plate being correspondingly notched to form shoulders engageable with the slot shoulder to limit plate insertion.
A detail of the rectangular plate is shown in Figure 5, the same being opposltely chamfered asat 10,:each chamf'e'red or knife edge portion being notched as shown at lvl to provide the above mentioned stops forli-miting the insertion of the pl-ate to .'bringfits opposite edges flush with the corresponding` faces of the chase, the width .joLf 'fthe plate being equal to the depth of the chase and its thickness, substantially equal to the width of a notch and distance betweenadjacent notches. The grooves `rmay be O other configura-tion but the Vpreferred *form is shown, and the 'thickness of ithe ,plate is preferably very slightly lless than the width of the slots and spacing between adjacent slots to permit Avtwo plates v."to #be respectively placed in adjacent pairs of groovesfthus 'increasing the range Y'of adjustment `to "provi de i a maximum number of *type lreceiving ways of various widths.
The distance between adjoining notches preferably corresponds 'to the Epoint system of type body measurement, and is vsome multiple of the unit of measurement `of that system,vso that in whatever spaced relation the 'partitions maybe placed, 'they will receive and properly support 'type of corresponding c"point VFor example, 'substitut ing the inch system of measurement, and assuming 'the width ofthe notches and distance between adjacent notches to. "be l/l6 of an inch, the plates, lherein Aof a width equal to the notches, may 'be arranged so that the distance between opposing n faces .of adjacent plates are respectively, l/l, 2/1'6, 'f5/I6, 4/16 1inches apart for receiving rows of type with bodies of corresponding width or' ,point.
Each partition is provided with 'a row of vertically disposed parallel grooves 12 extending partially across 'one face of each partition and 'thus forming a row A'of linear stopsrl, one for 'each groove, adapted to limit the movement'of the 'type in one direction. Eachztype l has `a iin'lprojecting` longitudinally 'therefrom 'adapted for engagement within any "groove, whereby each type Abody can be independently supported, and can vbe Withdrawn without 'disturbinethe relationo'f theot'her ft e othe .is y yp row. 'These ribs preventv any lateral movement of the type which are he'lo|.'between adjacent clivision plates properly spaced for printing, without xthe use of spacing slugs .or like devices.
The type, moreover, 'are adapted to slide -when brought 'in contact with the material .to 'be `l'nint'ed,fthu's relieving the chase o'f s'train'which is herein transferred to and received entirely the chase support 2l, the feet ofthe ty,pe engagingthe aligning surface oif'said support 4.
Therefore the type first engage the goods and are then simultaneously caused to slide to bringgtheir face ends into engagement with the face 2O ofthe chase'holder, to propcrly align the type. The general 'features Y ifeatu-re off-,theinvention herein being adjustability and interchangeability of the type Supporting partitions which enables rows of type of various point to be simultaneously set-iup.
Having described my invention, I claim:
l. A type achase, 'having lopposingly related -rows of spaced parallel V-shaped grooves, 'the 4Width of each grooveand ldistancebetween adjacent "grooves being equal,
and type supporting plates `substantially 'equal in thickness tothe width of la Agroove en-gageable with "the grooves to-form parallel walled type receiving ways of different widths, lwhereby maximum 'number of pacing Acombinations can beV obtained in :a chasevio'funinimumsize. 'l

T5. type chase vcomprising a frame/of ,rectangular configuration having m each of *two vopposite parallel sides'a series of simiylarly I'spaced z.grooves with the width yof .the vgrooves equal to ythe space 'between the grooves, and rectangular -partition `plates of althickness substantially equal to f the grooves and spacing therebetween, engageable with opposingly related grooves to dispose the plate in parallel relation to the side of the frame or to a similar adjacent plate to form a type receiving Way, or Ways, each plate having spaced shoulder grooves adapted to receive a projection of a type body to support and secure the same in printing position between adjacent plates.
6. A rectangular type chase having op* posingly similarly spaced parallel rows of grooves the Width of the grooves and the spacing therebetween being equal, and each groove having a stop shoulder and type supporting division plates engageable Within any pair of opposingly related grooves to form type receiving Ways of dierent Widths,
and to obtain a maximum number of spacing combinations in a chase of minimum size, each plate having a series of equally spaced grooves in one face parallel with the first mentioned grooves adapted to receive a projection of a type body for supporting the type between adjacent plates.
