A'ITD R N EYB Patented Jan. 4, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MOVABLE MULTIPLE MAGAZINE UNIT FOR TYPESETTING MACHINES 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a movable multiple magazine unit for typesetting machines, and the primary purpose of the invention is to provide a unit that will carry more magazines in the typesetting machine than are carried on the present type of machines, thus giving the operator of the machine more variety of type without having to take off magazines and replacing them with others carrying different kinds of type.
The present typesetting machines carry only four main magazines, and four auxiliary magazines, giving the operator thereof only ten faces of type.
An object of the invention, therefore, is to provide a typesetting machine giving a greater variety of type faces, in that the unit on the machine carries thirty-two faces of type of varying sizes which are available to the operator, without the removal or insertion of any magazines. However, if more than thirty-two faces are required, a rather unusual requirement, the magazines can be easily and simply removed from the unit as are the magazines on the present day typesetting machines.
The unit comprising the invention can be built into the present typesetting machine with very little change in the matrice assembling or the distributing mechanism.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away, of a standard typesetting machine having an embodiment of the invention secured thereto;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view partly in section, of the machine and attachment embodying the invention;
Figure 3 is a plan View of a magazine for a single distribution;
Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Figure 3 of a single distributing magazine;
Figure 6 is a plan view of magazines in pairs for multiple distribution and Figure '7 is a sectional View of multiple distributing magazines with the type feeding channel associated therewith.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, the reference numeral I0 designates a standard typesetting machine to which the front support or arm H of the invention is secured by bolts I2.
The support H is provided with a bearing end 13, in which is journalled the shaft [4 having the crank I5 on the outer end thereof for the rotation of the shaft.
Mounted on the shaft l4, and spaced from each other by the spacing member l6, are the front and rear discs I1 and I8 respectively, and distributor bracket l9 journals the opposite end of the shaft I4. The discs rotate with the shaft l4 when the crank I5 is turned, and bolts 20 pass through the discs I! and I8 to retain the discs in fixed alinement with each other when the nuts 20 on the bolts are tightened.
The discs are provided with a circular row of apertures 2|, which are concentric with the shaft 14, and are adapted to receive the stop pin 01' stud 22 which is slidably mounted in the extension 23 on the bearing I3 of the arm II. This pin prevents rotation of the discs when the device is in use, and withdrawal of the pin from the aperturesby means of the pivotal lever 4| will permit rotation of the discs as desired. The lever 4| is provided with a forked end 42 to engage the grooved head 43 of the stud 22, and the lever is pivoted on the extension 23 as shown in Figure 1, so that movement of the lever will withdraw or insert the stud as desired.
The discs are provided with radially extending slots 24 which are in alinement with each other, and type magazines 25 are positioned in the slots as shown in Figure 1. The slots 24 are provided along one longitudinal edge with a recess 26 in which the lugs on the magazine 25 are received, to properly aline the magazines in the slots, and magazine locks Z'l on the magazines retain the magazines in fixed relation to the discs.
Mounted on the bracket H3 is the distributor bar 29, distributor screws 30 and channel entrance 3! which will aline itself with the magazine 25 by means of the upper stationary part 32 of the magazine, as shown in Figure 5, whereby matrices are delivered to the magazines.
In Figure 6, the discs l6 and I8 are provided with radially extending pairs 33 of slots 24, to hold the magazines 25, and in this instance, the discs are used in mixed type machines.
In Figure '7, the stationary parts 32 of the magazine are alined with the upper and lower channels 34 and 35 respectively, which co-act with the upper and lower distributor bars 36 and 31 and the upper and lower distributor screws 38 and 39 respectively.
The shaft 24 rotates on roller bearings and ball thrust bearings 46, which assures easy turning thereof by the operator.
combination of parts may be resortedt The invention comprises the circular frame which is mounted for rotation on a standard typesetting machine, and when one magazine is used, two faces of type are accessible to the operator, and when two magazines are used, as on the multiple type unit, four faces of type are accessible to the operator. The frame is made for single or multiple distribution, and by the rotation of the cranl; 15, the, magaaines carrying typefaces can be presented foruse in the machine l0.
Safety devices now used on typesetting machines can be used on the unit embodying the invention, and the operation of-the device is simie lar to the present typesetting machines, except that more type faces are available for use.
The unit is simple to operate, and efficient and durable in use, being applied, to a standard type;
setting machine with little change in the machine.
