DEVlCE FOR CASTING PRINTERS LEADS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,02
6, dated August 5, 1884.
Application filed October 2, 1883. (No model.)
York, have invented a new and Improved Device for Casting Printers Leads, Slugs, 850., of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention consists in a simple hand apparatus or device for casting leads, slugs, and other like printers articles or furniture from either new or old metal, but which will be found especially useful in country printing-offices, and whereby printers may make their own leads, slugs, $50., out of the hell-box or from old metal, and this in a very easy, rapid, and perfect manner, with every provision for ad justment tosuit different sizes of work.
The invention includes two frames hinged together at their one end and provided with handles at their opposite end, and having plates on their inner laces conforming in shape to the casting to be produced, and the one of which is adjustable, said plates, when the frames are closed and the apparatus turned up on end, forming a vertical mold forproduction of the casting, substantially-as hereinafter described.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,in
which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 represents a view in perspective of a hand device or apparatus embodying our invention, and showing the same closed as ready for use; and Fig. 2, a plan view, upon alarger scale, of the same, shown by full lines as open,
and also represented as closed by full and dotted lines, the top flanges not being shown.
The apparatus is made mainly or wholly of iron-that is, its frames A A may be made of malleable iron and its plates B B of a different suitable quality of iron. Said frames are of lighter skeleton construction, forming two independent jaws, which are hinged together, as at M, and areiitted on their opposite or opening and closing sides, where they are bowed, and have central outwardly projecting shanks, with handles (1 (I, made of wood or other poor conductor of heat to facilitate handling. Arranged across these frames A A, upon their inner faces, are the two plates B B, made with ledges or projectinglips s s on their faces, along their front and liacl: longitudinal margins, respectively, so that when the frames are closed, as represented by full and dotted lines in Fig. 2-, the lip of each plate will restupon the face of the adjacent plate, and said plates will be made to form a mold of the required shape of the casting to be produced. The one, B,.of these plates may be securely bolted to the frame A, which carries it; but the other plate, B, is made adjustable along its cured in position by thumb-screws G C, arranged to pass through longitudinal slots 6 e in the opposite end arms of the frame B; or both plates B B might be made similarly adjustable, if desired, to change the distance of the lips s s. apart. The arrangement of the double hinges b I) at opposite ends of the frames makes it impossible for the device to change gage after it has been set to the required size of mold.
In using the device, the same is closed by bringing together or toward each other the handles (1 (1, as shown by full and dotted linesin Fig. 2, and heated in any suitable fire, and the metal to be cast is poured from aladle into the upper epd of the mold, as formed by the plates B B, the apparatus being placed upon end and set upon a small box of sand, to stop the mold at the bottom and prevent the molton met. lfrom passing out therefrom.
The device can be unloaded as fast as the casting is made by opening the frames A A through their handles (2 d. It may be made of any desired size; but it will be generally sufficient to make it about sixt-ydivc (65) ems pica long or deep, as this size will castfrom nonpareil slugs up to furniture eight (8) ems pica wide.
The plates B B may each be constructed with a flange, g, on their top, as-shown in Fig. 1, so that when the apparatus is closed the same will form a funnel to facilitate the pouring of the hot metal into the mold.
frame to vary the size of the mold, and is se- Each apparatus will be furnished with a} suitable filling ladle.
Having thus described our invention, We claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- -1. A device for casting leads, slugs, and other like printers articles or furniture, consisting of apair of hinged jaws or frames provided with handles on their opening and closing sides or portions, and fitted on their faces with plates adjustable with relation to each other, and constructed to form an openended mold of the required size and shape When the frames are shut to or closed, substantially as specified.
2. In a device for casting leads, slugs, and other like printers articles or furniture, the combination, with the hinged jaws 0r frames A A, having handles for opening and closing them, of the plates B 13, secured on the inner faces of said frames,and constructed with lips or ledges s s on reverselongitudinal sides of their faces, respectively, and adjustable in relation with each other to vary the distance of said lips apart for the purpose of varying the size of the mold formed by said plates, essentially as described.
3. The combination of the skeleton frames A A, having duplicate hinges b b,and the one, A, of which has slots 6 0 along its opposite .ends or arms, the handles (1 d, the stationary
