More particularly, the present invention proposes the construction of an improved duplicating machine having a novel paper feeding device which will feed blank sheets of paper from a stack, down to and including the last few sheets in the stack, one at a time to a hectograph ink solvent moistening roller for passage therefrom to and between a platen and a drum bearing a master copy sheet thereon containing aniline dye impressions so that the solvent on a moistened sheet can dissolve a fractional part of the dye on the negative master copy to provide a positive print on the blank sheet.
Another object of the present invention proposes providing the improved rotary duplicating machine with a reciprocating paper feeding device actuated from the rotary crank of the machine and adjustable to feed paper of different thicknesses and lengths.
Still further, the presentinvention proposes constructing the duplicating machine with an improved hectograph ink solvent feeding means and means to move the platen relative to the drum so that adjustments of any degree can be made in the brightness of the copies.
As a further object, the present invention proposes arranging the duplicating machine so that copies can be made on almost any paper.
The present invention further proposes a novel arrangement of a single easily accessible adjustment lever to control the timing and registration of the printing, the printing being raised on the paper by moving the lever in one direction and lowered by moving it in the other direction.
For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

A pair of pressure roller levers '46 and 47 are centrally fulcrumed on pins 48 and 49 to the side supports 15 and 16 respectively. Pressure roller 45 is rotatably fastened to the upper ends of the levers a 46 and 47 as by being journalled in bushing 49. (See Fig. 10.) Preferably, the pressure roller 45 is of rubber and is spirally grooved. The lower ends of the levers 46 and 47 are fastened to coil springs 50 and 51 respectively. The other end of spring 50 is fixed to side support and the other end of spring 51 is fixed to side support 16, the spring normally biasing the pressure roller 45 against the moistening roller 37.
A paper feed ta'ble plate 52 is mounted between side supports 15 and 16 and fastened to them by screws 53 at the front or feed end of the machine. One end of plate 52 is adjacent the moistening roller 37 and the pressure roller 45 and is bent upwardly at 53 to provide a ramp to the moistening roller 37 so that a sheet of paper can be fed from plate 52 into the bight between the driven moistening roller 37 and pressure roller 45. A brace 54 extends from the plate 52 to tie rod 19.
A slide bar 55 is reciprocally fastened to side support 16, a slot opening 56 being provided in the slide bar and a retainer clamp 57 being fastened to the side support 16 by screws 58 and extending through slot opening 56 with flanges 59 bent outwardly of the slot opening and overlying the slide bar. The slide bar 55 is located at the front or feed end of the machine.
A cross-slotted scotch yoke 69 is fixed to one end of the slide bar 55, as by screws 61. Yoke 60 has one elongated slot 62 around the drum shaft 21 horizontally disposed and another elongated slot 63 at right angles to slot 61 and vertically disposed.
The drum shaft 21 being encircled by slot 62 confines the movement of the yoke and the slide bar to re ciprocation.
A yoke pin lever arm 64 (see Fig. 9) is rotatably secured to the drum shaft 21 at one end of the arm, a sleeve 64' on the arm fitting over the shaft. The other end of the yoke pin lever arm 64 is removably fastened to the periphery of the drum 22. This end of the arm 64 is bent over and spaced from the drum and a set screw 65 extends through the bent over portion of arm 64 to abut the periphery of the drum. Lever arm 64 is positioned adjacent the end of the drum facing side support 16.

The lower end of bar 68 is fastened to an axle 70 having two rubber wheels 71 swivelly but non-rotatively fixed thereto by a pivot pin 68a. The axle 70 is loosely and freely fastened to bar 68 so it can tilt and rotate. Wheels 71 normally rest on the paper feed table plate 52.
A pair of 'paper guides 72 and 73 are slidably secured to the paper feed table plate 52 and disposed lengthwise of the plate. The plate 52 has slot openings 74 running crosswise of it and bolts 75 extend through the guides 72 and 73 and through the slot openings 74 to hold the guides to the plate.
Guides 72 and 73 are made of angle stock as angle paper guides. Each has an upstanding leg and a plate abutting leg. A sponge 76 is fixed to each guide near its outer end to moisten the edges of paper held between the guides on plate 52. A leaf spring 77 is fastened to theback of each upstanding guide leg and a sponge pressure adjusting screw 78 extends through each leaf spring 77 and bears against a guide to hold the free end 7 9 of each spring away from the adjacent guide leg.
A sponge opening 80 is provided in the upstanding leg of each angle guide, 72 and 73, and a sponge 76 is secured in each opening 80 with the free ends of the leaf springs 77 hearing against the sponges.
To operate the machine a bottle 42 of hectographic ink solvent fluid is placed in bottle holder 41. The original matter to be copied, a negative sheet made by typing, writing, drawing or otherwise marking on a sheet backed by an aniline dye hectograph carbon paper, is secured to the drum. By turning the crank 23, the drum is rotated reciprocating slide bar and feeding one sheet of blank paper 81 (see Fig. 5) from a stack previously placed in the feed plate into the bight, between the moistening roller and the pressure roller. These driven rollers will pull the sheet through the bight moistening it as it goes through. The sheet is fed by the moistening roller and pressure roller into the bight between the platen and the drum where it is brought into direct contact under pressure with the negative carbon impression. The solvent on the moist paper sheet dissolves a small pant of the dye on the master leaving a positive print on the sheet which is passed from the drum to the receiving table plate at the rear of the machine.
