COLUMN-RULE AND PRINTING-FORM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,759, dated May 17, 1881.
Application filed December 10, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE TRIMBLE, acitizen of the United States, residing in Bristol, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Column-Rules and Printing- Forms, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to utilize the rules used for separating columns of type from each other in printing-forms by making, on the upper edges of such rules, letters, figures, and other characters in relief, as described hereinafter, so that impressions from the printingform will present, in place of the usual plain column, lines of printed matter, mainly for ad vertising purposes.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents parts of two columns of a newspaper with an intervening line of printed mattermade by my improved column-rule, this figure being on a scale of about double the actual size; Fig. 2, a perspective view of part of my improved column-rule drawn to a still larger scale, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of part of an ordinary column-rule drawn to the same scale as Fig: 2.
A A represent parts of adjoining columns of printed matter in a newspaper, and B a line of printed matter made between the columns by my improved column-rule.
Ordinary column-rules are generally made of brass, but sometimes of steel, and occasionally of type-metal, and of the same depth as ordinary type, and are reduced at the top by beveling from opposite sides to ablunt edge, a, the rule being so combined with the columns of type in making up the form that the said edge a will, in printing, make the desired line between the columns.
Instead of beveling the rule at the upper edge in the usual manner, I arrange on it a row of letters in relief, as shown in Fig. 2; or letters maybe interspersed with figures and other characters on the rule, as the desired impression to be made by the latter may suggest.
The improved column-rule may be made in ditl'erent ways. The upperportion,with theletters in relief, may, for instance, consist of electrotype, and this may be soldered to a lower portion of sheet-brass; or the rule may be produced by stereotyping.
In making up the prin ting-form theimproved rulesare arranged between the columns of type in the usual manner; but the impression, instead of showing plain lines between the columns of printedmatter, will exhibit lines of printed matter, which may serve as advertisements, and will at the same time serve the same purpose as the usual column-line-that is,.a distinctive separation of one column of printed matter from another.
I claim as my invention- 1. As anew article of manufacture, a column-. rule having on its upper edge lines of letters or figures, or both, in relief, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A printing-form composed of columns of type combined with column-rules having letters, figures, or other characters in relief, as setforth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEO. TRIMBLE.
Witnesses:
JAMES F. ToBIN, HARRY SMITH.
