i METHOD AND MEANS FOR PRINTING HEADINGS.
Application led March 12, 1927. i Serial No. 174,907.
This invention `relates to new and useful improvements in methods and means for printing headings on syndicated sheets.
It is a common practice for a number of 5 newspapers to contain a section of the same printed sheets, such as a comic section. All of these sheets are usually printed by one concern, with the title or name of the 1ndividual publication printed on the sheets lo which are intended therefor. This requires a separate set of plates for each individual paper, and, besides the expense of providing these plates, a great deal of time is lost in changing the plates on the press. Such sheets are usually printed in two or more colors, and when one set of plates is removed, it generally takes approximately thirty minutes to make the next set ready on the press so the colors will register properly.
The object of the invention is to provi means for printing titles or headings on Syndicate sheets and obviating the expense of the methods commonly used.
Plates for such sheets are usually castlin stereotype molds from mats, and particular object of the invention is to provide means whereby it is onl necessary to cast one set of key or page p ates for the Several publications.
Another object is to provide a separate title plate for each newspaper, which plate may be easily removed so that another may be substituted, without disturbing in any way the page plates which remain stationary on the press during the printingof sheets for the different newspapers.
A further object is to rovide means for casting a plurality of di erent headings in an integral plate formed in the same mold used for the page plates, the said 'plate being severed with a saw between the said headings to provide separate title plates.
A construction designed to carry out the invention will be hereinafter described to-` In the drawings the letter A designates the bed or cylinder of a printin ress which latter may be a cylinder or aies and platen press. A page p ate 10 is cast in the usual manner and mounted on the press. The said plate may be secured in a stationary osition in an suitable manner, but for t e `purpose of i lustration I have shown the lower edge of the plate abutting a retaining bar B, with the longitudinal edge of the plate beveled for receivin a plurality of clamps l1. As is best sown in Fig. 3, each clamp is slidable on an elongated screw 12 extending longitudinally of a slot 13 in the member A. An adjusting nut 14 is mounted on the screw behind the clamp for holding the latter against the beveled ed e of the plate.
As will e seen in Fig. 1, seven different headings may be cast in a plate 15 which is the'same size as the page plate 10. The same stereotype mold may be used for both plates, which obviates additional expense in this respect. The longitudinal edges of the plate 15 are beveled to conform to the corresponding edges of the plate l0, and the said plate 15 is sawed along the lines 16V whereby each heading is contained on an individual title plate 17.
After the late 10 is once'mounted on the press it will e seen that it is only necessary to mount atitle plate 17 above the saine. The said title late may be easily mounted and held in p ace by a suitable retaining member C and a clamp 18 on each side engaging the beveled edge. The clamps 18 are similar to the clam s 11, and after the required number of s eets have been run off with this heading, it is only necessary to loosen the clamps 18 and remove the title late. It is obvious that this may be readily done without disturbing the plate 10, and by substituting a different title plate the operation of the press may be resumed with a minimum of loss of time.
By my improved method there is no time lost re istering lat-es with regard to colors, once t e page p ates are properly mounted on the press. Furthermore, a reat deal of time and money is saved in o viating the need of separate page plates for each news paper. It will be seen that I accomplish the same result with only one Set of page plates used in conjunction with separate title plates.` The invention includes all such changes,
vmodifications and alterations as come Within the scope of the appended claim.
Vhat I claim is:
The method of printing syndicated pages which consists incast'ing color page plates, then casting a pluralityr of different headings in single plate, then severing the said single plate at a point hetweenthe said, headings.
to forni a plurality of separate title plates, 10 then mounting the color page plates on a printing press and registering the same then mounting a title plate at the head of one of the page plates, then printing a run 0f pages,j then removing said title plates vWithout disturbing the page plates or the register thereof, and: then continuing the printing operation as before. l
In testimony whereof I aHX my signature. Y
VWILLIAM N. BEARD.
