TYPE LINE SUPPORT.

wkxwssm UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
A. AUGUSTUS LOW, OF BROOKLYN, ASSIGNOR TO THE ALDEN TYPE M AOHINE COMPANY,
OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 375,758, dated January 3, 1888.
Application filed February 3, 1887. Serial No. 9:26.461. (X0 model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, A. AUGUSTUS Low, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type'Line Sup ports or Slugs for TypeOontaining Channels, of which the following is a specification sufficient to enable others to make and use the same.
My invention relates to the class of slugs or movable supports which are provided for the ends of the lines of types contained in the type-channels used in connection with the setting and distributing of type, as set forth in the several patents heretofore granted to me.
My improvements relate more especially to the form of slug or lineend support set forth in my application No. 204,085, filed June 3, 1886, in which the distinguishing feature is a line-end support or slug, the perimeter of which is provided with a bearing-surface of comparatively soft or elastic material for the purpose of increasing frictional contact with the floor or spine of the channel. In the application referred to the frictional material is shown as applied to the perimeter of the sing in the form of a band. Experiencehas demonstrated that for practical and continuous use the elastic or semi-elastic material is mosteconomical and convenient when employed in the form of a suitable length of cord or string, and my present object is a construction of the slug which will facilitate the application or removal and substitution of suitable lengths t or sections of the material in that form.
The invention consists in a slug provided with an interior recess (for the reception and isolation of the knot formed upon the end of the cord) which is connected with the edge of the slug by a passage through which the cord passes, the latter extending from thence along the edge or bottom of the slug and then passing through perforations formed diagonally across and through the rear corners of the slug, and finally projecting outward to a sufficient distance to afford a means for moving or extracting the slug. The diagonal perforations through the corners of the slug hold and sustain the cord in place with sufficient stability during use, while the free end is projected over the body of the slug, so as to be out of the way, except when desired for use as a handle. It will be seen that by this construction an ordinary piece of cord of sufficient length may be used, requiring no specialpreparation or adaptation, it being only necessary in applying it to pass one end of the cord or string through the perforation communicating with the interior recess and knot that end, and
then to pass the other extremity-of the cord or string through the diagonal perforations in the end of the slug.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a portion of an ordinary type-containing channel, showing a side elevation of my improved form of line-end support or slugin use. Fig. 2isalongitudinal section of the lineend support or slug itself. Fig. 3 is a top View of a portion of a type-containing channel provided with my improved form of slug.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents an ordinary type-containing channel, such as is used in connection with the setting and distributing apparatus for which I have heretofore obtained patents. A short line of types, B, is shown as supported at the receiving end of the channel by a section of elastic or semi-elastic material, b, which presses the types immediately adjoining laterally against the opposite side wall of the channel A. The opposite end of the lineB is represented as sustained by my improved form of slug or lineend support 0. A lateral recess or perforation, 0, is formed through the body of the slug 0. A hole or perforation, c, is drilled or otherwise formed through the thickness of the In Letters Patent No. 360,355 I describe and claim a type-containing channel provided with an interior surface of elastic or semi=elastic material similar to that herein shown, and I do not therefore herein seek to covera channel so constructed, but confine myself to the special form of slug or follower herein set forth.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A line-end support for type-containing channels, which has its rear edgeperforated diagonally for the support of the free end of asection of flexible material, in combination with the latter,havingits opposite end secured to the body of the support, substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
2. An end-line support for type-containing channels, formed with the interior recess, 0,
and the perforation c, communicating therewith, in combination with a section of flexible material, applied substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
3. A line-end support for type-containing channels, formed with the interior recess, 0, perforation c, and diagonal end perforations, 0 0 in combination with a section of flexible material, applied substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
