The same braking operation takes place when the ductor roller leaves the fountain roller and before it contacts the ink plate.
The mechanism I have provided for braking and releasing the ductor roller at the proper time is as follows: Housing I0 is secured to bearing I2 preferably by means of bolts which pass through lugs ll-ll and 25-25.
I provide braking sectors 26 and 21 each being pivoted preferably to a common pin 28, the sectors being provided with suitable brake linings 29-29. 30-30 each having mounted thereon at their upper ends plates 3I-3I. These plates are held to the arms by means of plate pins 32 which extend loosely through apertures in the arms. In order to make a suitable preliminary adjust ment, I provide a number of thin washers 33-33. These washers may be removed from time to time in order to suitably adjust the mechanism as the brake linings 29 wear. Thus when the brake linings are new, quite a number of these washers will be in place under the plates in order to provide for considerable wear of the brake lining.
Member ID is open on one side, the opening being covered by cover plate 35. Thus, by removing this cover plate, the brakes may be adjusted.
I provide bosses 36-36 which are provided with chambers for the reception of springs 38, the outer ends of the chambers being threaded for the reception of plugs 31. Springs 38 are positioned in the chambers as illustrated, the inner end being held into position by pins 354.
It will be seen that the tension on brake linings 29 may be easily adjusted by screwing plugs 31 in or out.
I provide a brake operating plate 40 having a shaft 4| which is journaled in and protrudes through boss 42. I secure a lever 43 to shaft H having preferably at its outer end an opening through which a brake releasing rod 44 is slidably mounted.
Clearly by shifting stops 45, the brake may be caused to operate at various distances from the fountain roller or the ink plate.
Thus it will be seen that I have provided eficient meansfor controlling the ductor roller and Sectors 26 and 21 are provided with arms more satisfactorily supply ink to the ink plate.
Clearly many minor detail changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as recited in the appended claims.
Having thus shown and described my invention, I claim:
1. A device of the class described, comprising two spaced arms being hingedly mounted at one end and having a shaft rotatably mounted in the other ends thereof, said arms adapted'to'be oscillated on their hinges between predetermined points, a braking device mounted on the free end of one of said arms, said braking device comprising two sectors which are hingedly mounted at adjacent ends thereof, each sector having braking bands adapted to engage said shaft on opposite sides thereof, spaced arms on the free ends of said sectors, yielding means adapted to cause said braking bands to snugly L engage said shaft, brake releasing means positioned between the free ends of said last arms, and being secured to a shaft which is rotatably mounted and having a lever whereby when its free end is moved in either direction, said brake bands will be released, and adjustably mounted stops positioned in the path of the free end of said lever and being adapted to contact the lever and cause said brake bands to be disengaged before said arms reach the end of their travel in either direction.
