DELIVERY APPARATUS FOR PRlNTlNG-PRESSES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,215, dated July 2 1 Application filed October 8, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN S. SoHEIDELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a certain Improvement in the Delivery Appa' ratus of Printing-Presses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of certain improvements, fully described and claimed hereinafter,

IO in the delivering mechanism of printing presses of the character of which the Campbell press is an example, and which deliver the printed sheets face downward upon the delivery-table, the object of my improvement I 5 being to deliver the sheet face upward.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a side view of sufficient of a printing-press to illustrate my invention. Fig. 2, a plan view of the same; Fig. 3, Sheet 2, a

transverse section, partly in elevation, of flyoperating mechanism 5 Fig. 4, a section on the line 1, 2, Fig. 3; and Figs. 5, 6, and 7, detached views of parts of the said fly-operating mechanism.

Referringin the first instance to Figs. 1 and 2, A represents the impression-cylinder of the press; B, part of the feed-table; D, the bed;E, inking-rollers; and F, the fly-frame for receiving the printed sheets from the impressiono cylinder and laying them upon the deliverytable G.

The spindle of the fly-frame has a pulley, a, around which passes a belt, I), from a drum, d, on a shaft, f, this drum being oscillated by 5 the cam mechanism hereinafter described and heretofore used in this class of presses, so as to impart the desired intermittent vibrating movement to the fly-frame F.

As the fly-frame F receives the sheet from 40 the cylinder A with the printed face upward, .it delivers it upon the table G face downward, which is a serious objection, as it prevents the pressman from exercising a proper supervision of the work, especially when, as in mod- 5 ern practice, one pressman has charge of a number of presses. This objection I overcome by the use of asupplementary fly-frame, J, arranged in the rear of the frame F, and caused to vibrate in such relation thereto as that of the frame F-that is to say, the frame J must be in the position shown by dotted lines before the frame F completes its move- .ment in the direction of the arrow, and must remainin this position until the frame F has moved back to receive a new-printed sheet. This movement of the frame J is effected by a supplementary drum, K, the shaft f of which is geared to the shaft f by bevel-wheels g and a transverse intermediate shaft, h, although the shafts f f may be connected by a belt and pulleys, if desired, the bevel-gearing being preferred, however, as being more positive in its action than the belt.

The two flies are actuated by precisely similar mechanisms, that shown in Sheet 2 of the drawings being the mechanism for one of the flies.

The drum (1 is loose on the shaft; but a disk, m, is secured thereto, and in this disk is a camslot, at, to which is adapted an anti-friction roller, p, on an arm, M, pivoted at its lower end to a stud, s, and connected at the upper end to one end of a link, t, the opposite end of the latter being connected to a bolt, 0, which is adjustable in an inclined slot, :0, in the drum, and can be secured after adj ustment. As the arm M is vibrated by the action of the cam n, a movement of partial rotating, first in one direction and then in the other, will be imparted to the drum.

In the lower portion of the fiangew of the drum is a recess, a, for the reception of the arm M, said recess being of such extent that the arm will not interfere with the movements 7 of the drum.

It should be understood that the above description of the mechanism has been intro- .duced for the purpose of explaining my invenupward from a printing-press, a device for shafts operate in unison and cause the flies to this purpose being shown in the patent of G. co-operate one with the other, all substan- Jaeger, No. 246,514, August 30, 1881. tially as set forth.

I claim as my invention-- In testimony whereof I have si gned my name 5 The combination, in a printing-press, of two to this specificationin the presence of two sub- 15 fly-shafts, ff, each carrying a drum, to which scribing witnesses.

an oscillating motion is imparted from the said J N O. S. SOHEIDELL shafts, two flies, one actuated from the drum \Vitnesses: of one shaft and the other from the drum of JOHN E. PARKER, IO the other shaft, and gearing whereby the two I HARRY SMITH.
