Definitions

  • Figure 1 shows diagrammatically the arrangement of the Bowden cables and intermediate members connecting the keys to the matrix release devices.
  • Figure 2 shows a set of intermediate members in elevation,
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of Figure 2
  • Figure 4 is a perspective View of the arrangement according to Figure 1, with the key mecha nism in three different positions I, II, III.
  • the Bowden cables 3 surrounded say by sheaths 2 lead first from the keyboard 1 f or instance to the end points of the arms 4 of hell crank levers 5 rotatably mounted on pins or bolts 8 secured to members 6, 7 arranged above the points of rest, preferably in a central position relatively to them.
  • the free ends of the other'arms 9 of the bell crank levers 5 are connected for instance by means of wires, rods or cables 10 directly and in a straight line to the matrix release devices 11 and pass unsupported betwe en these parts.
  • On each pivot pin 8 may be mounted several, for instance eight, bell crank levers other (see Fl 5 rotatable independently of one angure 2).
  • the bell crank levers are arranged between the two members 6 and 7 secured to the machine bed, and the pins 8 are screwed fast into the bottom member 6 by means of the threaded portion 12. Between each two bell crank levers 5 is provided a distance washer 13 in order to ensure sufiicient space for the Bowden cables 3 and wires 10. Great importance is of course attached to easy mobility of all the parts, more particularly of the bell crank levers 5.
  • This gearing or ratio can be calculated in such a manner that with the least movement of the Bowden cables 3, that is to say with the least friction of the same or with the use of only a small force, the required substantially greater movement of the release devices 11 to be operated, will be produced.
  • a matrix-setting and type-line-casting machine including in combination a frame, matrix supporting wires arranged above the frame, matrix release devices associated with the wires, an independent composing keyboard adapted to be fixed to a desired position on the frame, keys on the keyboard, Bowden cables extending from the keys, a secondary support above the frame, said matrix releasing devices being arranged on opposite sides of the secondary support, intermediate members in the form of bell-crank levers operably mounted on the support and each having one of their arms connected with the corresponding Bowden cables, connecting rods between other arms of each of the levers and the corresponding matrix release devices, and said rods being arranged in a straight line and unsupported through the space between the levers and matrix release devices.
  • bell crank levers have arms of unequal length, and that for the purpose of reducing the friction the shorter arms engage the Bowden cables coming from the keyboard mechanism, whilst the longer arms are connected with the rods leading to the matrix release devices.
