YVILLIAM A. MILLER, OF COUNCIL GROVE, KANSAS, AND SAMUEL J. GOMPERS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
CASE-HOLDING BRACKET FOR COMPOSlNG-STANDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,052, dated November 12, 1889.
Application filed November 9,1888. Serial No. 290,377- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, WILLIAM A. MILLER, of Council Grove, Kansas, and SAMUEL J. GOM- PERS, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Case -Ho1ding Brackets for Composing- Stands, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the ac- I0 companying drawings.
This invention relates to case-supports or bracket attachments for composing-stands for printers use; and it consists in attachments for the ordinary composingestand by which IS the cap-case is brought into more convenient position for the compositor.
Figure 1 is a partial end view of a composing-stand of the usual construction, showing the ends of the cases and the cap-case supports in position. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of so much of the cap-case and frame as is necessary to show the mode of attachment of the case-support. Fig. 3 indicates a mode of attaching the bracket to secure a different 2 5 inclination.
A indicates the upper portion of a composing-frame, and B the top bar thereof, on which the case 0 and cap-case D are usually supported. The top bars B of the frame are usually made with a notch or shoulder E, against which the cap-case rests when supported on the frame, the cap-case then being in rear of the lower case and supported at a steeper incline. In setting up type from the cap-case the compositor usually has to reach entirely across the lower case and so far as maybe necessary into the cap-case to procure the proper letters or sorts. This is inconvenient, and compositors frequently move the cap-case for- 4o ward and rest it on the lower case when required to set a display-line or two in caps or small caps. The present invention obviates this objection to a great extent.
A pair of brackets of similar construction are attached to the frame and support the front edge of the cap-case a little above and in front of the rear edge of the lower case. Each bracket has a base H, which is screwed or otherwise secured to the top bar of the frame. A standard I, as long as may be desired to raise the case, extends from the base H. This standard should be at a right angle with the base II. The standard I supports a socket or clamp K to receive the front of the upper case. The clamp K will by preference be provided with a thumb-screw L,which may be turned to hold the case firmly.
The rear side of the uppercase can be held up by any convenient support, as by a strip of wood M, screwed or otherwise fastened to the stand. WVe have devised a metallic T- bracket; but one or two small strips of wood will answer as well. The front of the case being firmly held by clamp K, a single supportfor the rear of the case will generally be sufficient.
We prefer to make the brackets H I K of metal. If of wrought or rolled metal, the angle between the parts II I maybe changed by bending. If of cast metal, the brackets may be applied with a riser, as in Fig. 3, so as to change the inclination and throw the clamp more or less forward over the lower case.
The cap-case should be far enough above the figure-boxes of the lower case to give easy access to the same. We have found that the removal of the upper case a very few inches from its usual position in rear of the lower.
case largely facilitatesthe ease and rapidity of type-setting.
For a toy or sort case a single bracket will sometimes be a sufficient support.
What we claim is 1. A bracket attachment for composingframes having a base for attachment to the frame, a standard, and a clamp for the case offset from the standard, so as to support the front of the uppercase a little above and in front ofv the rear of the lower case, substantially as described. v
2. The combination, with a composingframe, of a rear support for the cap-case, and
brackets attached to said frame, offset to project over the lower case, and having clamps for thefront of the cap-case, substantially as described.
3. The combination, with a eompesing- Intestimonywhereof weaflixour signatures frame, of a bracket projecting above the in presence of two witnesses. lower case and provided with a retainin-g- WILLIAM A.
