FIG. 6 is a view in perspective of the same element shown in FIG. 4 and illustrating still another s ecific arrangement thereof.
The following description is directed to the specific form of the apparatus as shown in the drawings and is not intended to be addressed to the scope of the invention itself, which is capable of being practiced in a wide vmiety of forms and arrangements.
Adverting herewith to the specific form of the invention illustrated in the drawings, the numeral 19 designates a cylindrical drum supported at opposite ends by stands 11 and 12, as seen in FIG. 3, and is arranged for rotation about an axis generally parallel to the floor. The cylindrical shell 13 of the drum is preferably made of plastic, but may be comprised of any suitable rigid and translucent material. Integral with the cylindrical shell 13, are covers 14 and 15, each of which contain circumferential calibrations l6 and 17, respectively, at the inner edge thereof adjacent the plastic shell 13, the purpose of which will be explained more fully hereinice after. A fitting 18' is secured in axial alignment to the face of the disc or end cover 14, an extension of which forms a hollow axle l9 journaled in bearing 20 supported by the stand 11. Attached on the periphery of the fitting 18 is a gear 21 arranged for engagement with another worm-type gear 22. Worm gear 22 is attached to a shaft 25 extending from a gear reducer 26 and a reversible motor 27. Drive motor 27 is controlled by a forward drive switch 28, and a reverse drive switch 29 for operation of the apparatus in a manner to be more fully explained hereinafter.
As may best be seen in FIG. 3, end cover 15 of the drum 1% is formed with a circular protruding flange 30 which fits concentrically about the outer circumference of a smaller, similarly outwardly extending flange 31 formed in a stationary plate 32. The plate 32 is supported from the stand 12 by means of a hollow cylindrical fitting 33 which is itself secured to plate 3-2 by bolts 34-.
Circumferentiailly disposed adjacent the periphery of the fixed plate 32 are electrical sockets 35 for the retention of fluorescent lighting tubes 36 which extend longitudinally along the cylindrical wall or shell 13 generally parallel to the axis of the drum it].
As may be seen in FIG. 1, a vacuum pump 38 having a pump motor 39 in association therewith, is connected to pipe or tubing ill which passes through the fittings 33 and the fixed plate 32 through openings 41 and 42, respectively provided for that purpose, and extends into the interior of the drum 1%. Inwardly of the fixed plate 32 there is provided a fitting 43 for the support of the pipe 4% coaxia'lly with the drum ill. The pipe is provided with a transverse section 44 terminating in a flange 45 secured to a rectangular trough 4-6 provided adjacent the plastic shell 13. The trough 46 is provided with flanges 47 which are retained in contact with the inner side of the shell 13 by opposed retaining flanges or lips 48 which are themselves secured to the interior surface of the plastic shell 13. It will be clear that the trough 46 forms an annular channel adjacent the interior circumference of the shell 13 and that the aforesaid channel communicates with the piping 40 so that a vacuum can be drawn on the aforesaid channel by means of a vacuum pump 38 in a manner and for a purpose to be explained more fully hereinafter. Exterior of the drum 10 the pipe or tubing lli is provided with a valve 49 by means of which communication between vacuum pump 38 and trough 45 may be closed off or opened, thereby alternatively closing off or drawing vacuum on the channel formed by the aforesaid trough 46 as desired.
The outer surface of the cylindrical shell 13 is provided with a spiral groove 50 which communicates with -a hole 51 extending through the plastic shell 13 and opening into the channel formed by the trough 46.
As may best be seen in FIG. 1, a calibrated bar 54 ex- I tends along the entire length of the drum 10 exterior thereof and is supported at opposite ends in fittings 55 and 56 into which are respectively connected transverse supporting rods 57 and 53 located at the opposite ends of the drum parallel to the surface of the end covers 14 and 15. The rods 57 and 58 are respectively set in rotatable fittings 59 and 6 1i positioned coaxially with respect to the drum it). Fitting 59 is provided with a set screw 62 which may be loosened or tightened to secure the calibrated bar 54 in position as desired. Forward of the rotatable drum it? there is provided a work shelf 63 supported at opposite ends by support posts 64 and 65 which in turn stand upon a heavy platform 66. At opposite ends of the work shelf 63 scale pointers 6S and 69 are provided on the stands '79 and '71, respectively, for indicating the position of the calibrated end covers 14 and 15. A chair nection with the processes of offset printing.
75 is mounted on a platform 76 which is provided with rollers 77 and 78 arranged to roll along rails '79 and 80 back and forth in front of the rotatable cylinder 18.
Mounted on the bar 54 and arranged for sliding movement backward and forward thereon is a pair of holders 85 and 86 designed to retain a variety of implements as illustrated in FIGS. 4, and 6. The holder 85 comprises a cylindrical sleeve 87 which has an inner dimension 88 shaped to fit and conform to the outer dimension of the aforesaid bar 54. Mounted to the top surface of the sleeve87 is a lock lever 89 having a depending flange 95 which is normallyurged into one of the grooves 91 in the top surface of the calibrated bar 54 by a spring 92 mounted on the screw 93 set into a threaded hole 94 in the sleeve 87. The lock lever 89 is secured to the top surface of the sleeve 87 by means of a screw 95'. Extending from the surface of the sleeve 37 is a lug 97 having a circular opening 98 for the reception of a retaining element 99 of suitable size and dimension to fit the aforesaid openings. The retaining element 99 is secured in the opening 98 by means of a tightened screw 161. Retaining element 99 is also provided with a circular opening 102 for the shank of a working tool which may be inserted thereinto and secured in said opening by means of tightening a screw 103 extending into a threaded opening in the retaining element 99 at right angles to the shank-receiving opening 102. FIG. 4 illustrates the manner in which a pencil or stylus 105 may be retained in the holders 85 and 86; FIG. 5 illustrates the manner in which a ruling pen 106 may be retained in the aforesaid holders; and FIG. 6 illustrates the manner in which a knife 107 may be similarly retained.
FIGS. 1 and 3 illustrate one manner of use of the apparatus as provided in accordance with this invention, as for example, the stripping of film on acetate in con- Ordinarily when the invention is used in such connection, a plastic sheet 110 is wound upon the drum cylinder 13 adjacent the grooves 50 and the valve 49 is opened and a vacuum drawn on the aforesaid grooves by means of the pump 38. The plastic sheet 110, as a result of the atmospheric pressure on the outer surface thereof, adheres closely to the surface of the cylinder 13. In the stripping process, a rectangular cut-out 111 is made in the plastic sheet 110 and a layout sheet 112 is placed over the aforesaid cutout. Precise positioning of the layout sheet is made possible by means of calibrations 16 and 17 of the end covers 14 and 15. Further cut-outs 113 are made in the layout sheet and over these is placed a stripping sheet 114, all as may be seen in FIG. 1. It will be clear that the aforesaid cut-outs may be made by means of a knife 167 disposed in the holder 85 or 86 and that the cut-outs may be made with the greatest possible precision by positioning the holder as desired on the calibrated bar 54 and locking it into position by means of the lock lever 89. The drum cylinder may then be turned to the specific position desired either by means of the forward switch or the reverse switch and the exact position of the cylinder indicated by means of the scale pointers 68 and 69. When it is desired to adjust the position of the calibrated bar 54 backward or forward, advantage is taken of the rotatable fitting 59 by loosening the set screw 62 so that the arms 57 and 58 may be raised or lowered as desired and then secured in position by again tightening the screw 62.
It will be evident that it is an important advantage of the invention that very large drawings, plans, maps,
and the like up to twenty feet or more in length may be handled and worked upon with relative ease and facility.
it will be further apparent that it is another significant advantage of the invention that it eliminates all need for T-squares and triangles for accurate measurement in stripping film on acetate and the like, and, furthermore, faciiitates perfect register of the work-pieces, which is essential when doing color work and the like in the offset printing processes.
Although this invention has been disclosed with references to specific forms and embodiments thereof; it will be evident that a great number of variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, parts may be reversed, equivalent elements may be substituted for those specifically disclosed, and certain features of the invention may be used independently of other features, all without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention as defined in the appended claims.
