- A indicates a table from which the operating mechanism is supported. It is by preference made in the form of a sector and provided with suitable legs a. At the center of the circle from which the are of the sector is drawn the table A has a bearing a for the pivot-pin of the matrixB. Upon its upper face and along the edge of the are of the sector the table is provided with an index A, containing all the characters the machine is capable of producing, said characters being arranged consecutively or in a single row.

- That portion of thelever which projects onto the upper face of the table is fashioned into a pointer c, and from the said rectangular portion of the lever 0 projects a thumbpiece or handle 0. It is obvious that when the lever C is moved to any one of the characters of the index A the matrix will be correspondingly moved and the corresponding character therein will be brought to a fixed point in the plane of the axial line of the table A, since the said lever is connected with the matrix B so as to lie in the axial line thereof.

MACHINE FOR MAKING TYPE BARS.
A SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 413,042, dated October 15, 1889.
Application filed March 20, 1888. Serial No. 267,892| (N model.) Patented in Belgium July 1 l, 1884, No. 65,744; in England August 2, 1884,1I0. 10,901; in Trance January 9, 1885, No 166,347, and in Germanyt une 16, 1.885, No. 34,214,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTOINE JOSEPH EN- GELEN, a citizen of the Kingdom of Belgium, residingatBrussels, in Belgiu m, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Type-Bars, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in England dated August 2, 1884, No. 10,901; in Belgium dated July 11, 1884, No. 65,744; in France dated January 9,1885, No. 166,347, and in Germany dated June 16, 1885, No. 34,214,) and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation, and Fig. 3 a vertical central section, of the same. Fig. 4 is an under side view of aportion of the matrix-plate. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the same on an enlarged scale. Figs. 5 and 6 are opposite side elevations of the carriage for the blanks. 7 is a section taken on line 1 1 of Fig. 5. Fig. Sis an isometric view of a portion of a blank; Fig. 9, a vertical central section of a machine embodying my invention' and showing certain modiflcationsin construction. Fig. 10 is an under side view of a portion of the matrix thereof on an e11- larged scale. Fig. 11 is a transverse section of the carriage; and Figs. 12, 13, and 14 are isometric detail views of parts of the machine shown in Fig.
The invention relates to that class of machines by means of which impressions in relief are produced upon more or less plastic or compressible materials, or by which intaglio impressions may be produced in such materials.
Any suitable material may be employed in the production of the type-bars, and, although I prefer to employ wood with a view to cheapening the production of such bars, I do not desire to limit myself to this material, as any other material capable of receiving an impression from a harder material than itself may be employed, and for the purposes of description I will hereinafter refer to wooden strips or bars only.
In the drawings, A indicates a table from which the operating mechanism is supported. It is by preference made in the form of a sector and provided with suitable legs a. At the center of the circle from which the are of the sector is drawn the table A has a bearing a for the pivot-pin of the matrixB. Upon its upper face and along the edge of the are of the sector the table is provided with an index A, containing all the characters the machine is capable of producing, said characters being arranged consecutively or in a single row. In the upper face of the table, on the axial line thereof, is formed a guide groove or way A for the carriage that supports the strip of wood that is to receive the impressions, and from said table rises a suitable yoke or standard A for the matrix-operating devices.
B indicates the matrix, which, like the table A, has the form of a sector, the are being connected to a pivot 1), whose axis is the center of the circle, from which the arc is drawn by means of radial arms I) of sufficient elasticity to return the matrix automatically into its normal position when moved out of it in the act of making an impression. The matrix-plate, as shown in Figs. 4 and 4% has sub stantially the form of a right angle or that of a letter L, and has along the inner edge of the under face of the vertical portion B a beveled cutting-edge Z)", that projects beyond .the intaglio characters immediately in front of said projecting cutting-edge 19 The characters correspond with those of the index A on the edge of the table and are similarly arranged, but in reverse order, and in front of each character is formed a concave recess b forpurposes presently explained. In the horizontal portion 13 of the matrix are formed perforations or sockets b the upper end of .which is reamed out or enlarged for the reception of the plunger pin or cone. The characters alongv the edge of the table, those in the matrix, the concave recesses in front of the characters in the said matrix, and the perforations are all arranged on radial lines drawn from the center of the pivot b to the periphery of the are of the table A, the' are of the matrix being a segment of a circle having the same center as but of less diameter than the circle of which the outer edge of the table A is a segment. The pivot-pin b of the matrix B projects below the tableA and carries a lever 0, whose outer end is of rectangular form and embraces the curvilinear edge of the table. That portion of thelever which projects onto the upper face of the table is fashioned into a pointer c, and from the said rectangular portion of the lever 0 projects a thumbpiece or handle 0. It is obvious that when the lever C is moved to any one of the characters of the index A the matrix will be correspondingly moved and the corresponding character therein will be brought to a fixed point in the plane of the axial line of the table A, since the said lever is connected with the matrix B so as to lie in the axial line thereof. At a point in rear of the vertical portion 13' of the matrix B, and straddling the guide-groove A is secured a bridge D, that limits the downward movements of the matrix, and consequently the depth of the impressions made thereby. In the said guidegroove is fitted a carriage E, (shown in detail, Figs. 5, 6, and 7,) composed of a bed-plate 6, whose sides are beveled and fit the lateral walls of the guideway A From the bedplate project the end walls 6 and a side wall 6 all of less height than the height of the type-bar. In the end walls 6 are formed bearings for the journals of an eccentric-roller E, one of which journals carries a crank e for operating the roller.
E is a retaining-plate of rectangular form, in the ends 6 of which are formed horizontal slots, through which the journals of the cocentric-roller E pass. If the strip of woodis inserted between the plate E and the lateral wall 6 of the carriage and the roller E properly operated, the said strip will be securely clamped to the carriage, as will be readily understood. To the rear end of the carriage is secured one end of a coiled spring F, said spring passing around a sheave or guide-pulley f, journaled to the table A, so that the spring will lie in the axial line thereof, the other end of said spring being secured to a studa on the table A. In the upper end of the standard A of the table A is fulerumed a hand-lever G, that has a projection or lip g, and in said standard is formed a bearing a for a plunger II, that has an enlarged head h and a projection h. A spring 77. is coiled around the plunger to return it into its normal position when moved out of it by the hand-lever. On the lower face of the plunger II is formed a cone-stud b that fits into the upper conical portion of the perforations or recesses or sockets b in the matrix B. From the under side of the bearing projects aserewh, that serves to limit the upward motion of the matrix B.
The operation of the machine is as follows: A strip of wood W is secured to carriage E so that its inner upper edge will abut against the inner face of the projecting cutting-edge b of the matrix B, and the latter is then positioned to bring the desired character over the strip. The lever G is now operated to depress the plunger, the projection g of said lever bearing on the head it of the plunger, whose cone-stud h enters the recess or perforation b in rear of the character to prevent lateral displacement of the matrix B andforce the matrix down until its motion is arrested by the bridge D, a character in relief being formed in the upper face of the strip of wood. I have stated above that in front of each character of the matrix is formed a concave recess b the depth of which is equal to or slightly greater than the extent to which the wood is compressed in making the impression, so as not to act upon the upper face of the strip and compress the same. The rear vertical wall I) of the recesses b is also a cutting-edge, as shown in Fig. 4:, its face toward the character-space being inclined or beveled the same as the like face of the cutting-edge in rear of the character-space. It is obvious that when the character-space of the matrix is forced into the upper face of the strip of wood there will be a V-shaped notch w formed between each two characters, while a vertical shoulder to is formed in front of each character as it is impressed. An abutment is thus formed that will come in contact with the projecting cutting-edge b when the matrix-plate has moved back into its normal position, that regulates the feed of the earriage, so that said carriage E cannot move a greater distance than a letterspace. By means of the cutting-edges b on the matrixplate each letteron the type bar or blank will stand in relief on a block-like projection, as shown in Fig. 8. On the other hand, if the type-bar is so held that the concave recess Zfiin front of the character to be first impressed will first impinge on the type-bar, the lateral edges thereof will be beveled off, as shown, this operation being necessary only for the first letter, since it is obvious that as each subsequent character is impressed the lateral edges in front of each character will be beveled by the recess 12 The machine, in its details of construction, may be modified, some of these modifications being shown'in Figs. 9 to 14. The carriage E may, for instance, be moved by a springarm I, as shown also in dotted lines in Fig. 1, one end of which is secured to a stud on the table and the other to the front of the earriage E. The carriage may have its bed-plate e grooved for the reception of the strip of wood, as shown in Fig. 11, and the lateral vertical wall, the eccentric-roller, and clampingplate may be dispensed. with, the strip of wood being held against lateral displacement and properly guided by guide arms or fingers secured to the bridge, as hereinafter explained. The matrix B may be constructed, as shown in Fig. 10, to suit the feed-controlling devices. (Shown in Figs. 12, 1S, and 1a.) The matrix B has here also the form of a right angle, or that of a letter L; but the inner wall b of the vertical portion B is inclined or beveled, the cutting'edge b being here dispensed with. In the bridge D is arranged a stop-plate d, that is held in its normal position by a bowspring (1. On each side of the bridge is adjustably secured a guide-finger D by means of bolts (:1 passing through vertical slots (1 in the lateral walls of the bridge. The guidefingers extend to the opposite sides of the strip of wood to prevent lateral displacement thereof and guide it properly in its movement through the bridge. The mechanism for tie pressing the matrix may also be modified in its construction, as shown in Fig. 0. In the bearing a may be fitted a hollow plunger H, in which latter is fitted a headed cone-pin H, that is held projected from the plunger by a coiled spring A, confined Within the hollow plunger A between the movable plug 71. in the plunger-head hand the head of the conepin H, thus providing a yielding bearing for the cone-pin.
The operation of the modiiied machine is substantially the same as that of the machine first described and produces like results. It will be observed that as the hollow plunger is forced down the cone-pin will enter one of the perforations l) in the matrix in rear of the character to be impressed, the matrix will be forced down upon the strip of wood that is held against motion by the stop-plate (Z, and as the matrix sinks into the wood its beveled orinclined inner wall b impinges upon. the correspondingly-beveled face d of the stop-plate and pushes it back against the stress of its spring cl. The matrix now holds the type-bar V against motion and depresses aportion of the upper face thereof in making the impression, thus forming in front of each character a shoulder w, the concave recesses beveling the lat eral edges of the type-bar in front of and along the next letter-space, so that as the matrix. moves back. into its normal position the stop plate cl moves to its normal position also; but since that portion of the type-bar on which the character has been impressed has been depressed the carriage is free to move forward until the shoulder wcomes in contact with the outer edge of the stop plate. In this manner the strip of wood is fed forward a distance equal to the space occupied by the character previously impressed and no more. -The strips of wood employed are of, or approximately of, the length of the line to be printed; but where j nstification is necessary, or for short lines, I provide means for cutting the strips. To the table A is secured a standard L, that carries a knife blade K, and said standard is constructed to form a rest or hearing Z for the type-bar W. On thebase or foot-plate of the standard is formed a bearing Z, in which is pivoted a knife K, provided with a suitable handle, by means of which and the stationary blade K the type-bars are cut when this becomes necessary in justifying.
