OSCILLATING-CYLINDER PRINTING-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 423,052, dated March 11 1890.

Application filed July 8, 1886.

To all whom if may concern,.-

VBe it known that I, JOHN T. HAWKINS, of Taunton, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oscillating-Cylinder Printing-Machines, which invention or improvements are fully set forth and illustrated in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

The object of this invention is to provide a printing-machine which will print the sheets on one side first from the roll or web, and having thus printed an edition of some five thousand sheets will automatically feed them through a second time and perfect them by printing them on the other side and folding them.

In many newspaper-printing offices Where the ordinary cylinder-presses are now used, at speeds varying according to the skill of the feeder and the capacity of the machine, the less important pages, constituting the first side, are printed several hours before the papers are delivered to the carriers, the other pages being reserved for the latest. telegraphic news and the most attractive intelligence. It is therefore desirable to hold back the printing of these pages as long as possible, so as to obtain all the latest news, and then to print them at the highest available speed. To hold back the printing of the entire paper until this time would necessitate the use of either thevery large and expensive rotary printing-machine, using either stereotyped forms or type-revolving cylinders, or else a number of ordinary cylinder-presses requiring a number :of duplicate forms and many attendants; but byrthis invention the less important pages are first printed, whenever it is convenient, on a double-printing oscillating-cylinder press using a fiat form, the

lsheets of paper being cnt from the rolls and fed automatically to the cylinder 'and then rewound as sheets between tapes on the second rolls, whence, when a sufficient number of sheets have been collected to complete the edition and the form containing the latest 4 news has replaced the first form, said sheets are again automatically fed to the same impression-cylinder, perfected, delivered, and folded ready forptlie carriers or the mail. `As'thc action of the machine is entirely au- Serial No. 207,418. (No model.)

tomatic, and not dependent on the skill of feeders, and as the reciprocating parts of the machine are counterbalanced in accordance with my patent of August 10, 1886, No. 346,911, both sides of the sheets are printed at a high rate of speed approaching that of the vastly more expensive rotary newspaper.perfecting presses now in use.

Theinvention consists of the parts and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and particularly set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure] is a side elevation of the machine looking toward the folding apparatus, the crank-end feeding and delivery mechanism being shown in section through the center of the press. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation of the left-hand part of the machine shown in Fig. 1,- with the upper part of the side frame removed, so as to more plainly show the feeding and foldingmechanisms. Fig. 3 is a plan of the part of the machine shown in Fig. 2, with the bridge-fingers 4I and 11G and roll of paper 25 removed for clearness. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of 'the crank-end feeding and folding mechanism looking at the machine from th folder side.

In said drawings the several parts are in- 'dicated by numbers, as follows:

The numbers 1 and 2 indicate the side frames, and 3 indicates: the rib, of the machine, on which the rollers 4, carrying the bed 5, run. The bed may be driven in any one of the well-known ways; but I prefer to use the equilibrated bed motion shown and claimed in my said Letters Patent. Power is applied to shaft @extending across the press and carrying the pinions 7, meshing into the large crank-gears S, running on the shaft 9, carried in bearings lO in the side frames.

The remainder of the mechanism for `imparting reciprocating motion to the type-bed is omitted as not essential to this invention.

The lower way-shaft 11 of the machine is supported in bearings 12 in side frame 2, being driven from shaft 9 by means of the bevelgears 13 and 14. Shaft 11 carri-es the cams which operate various printing mechanisms, as well as the bevelgear 15, which, through bevel-gear 16, vertical shaft 17, and bevelgears 1S and 19, actuate the upper way-shaft 20, which drives the feeding, delivery, and

folding mechanisms. The cylinder 21 runs in boxes carried in the side frames. On the end of the cylinder is secured a gear 22, which meshes into a rack (not shown) on the side of the type-bed, and through the medium of which the cylinder is oscillated.

The upper stands 23 24 of the machine carry the feeding and delivery apparatus. The roll of paper 25 on its core 26 is placed in .sockets in these stands, whence the Web of paper is fed between pressure-pulleys 27, fastened on shaft 28, and the cutting-gap cylinder 29. rlhe web is then run over the cutting-'gap cylinder 29 and under the overguides 30, which are fastened to the fixed bar 31. Cylinder 29 is driven by the bevel-gear 32 on its end, meshing with gear 33 on shaft 20.

Fastened to the shaft of cylinder 29 is the spur-pinion 34, driving the spur-gear 35 on the end of the cutting-blade shaft 36. Gear 35 is fastened to shaft 36 by means of setscrews and a feather in shaft 36, on which it can be slid so as to take it out of mesh with pinion 34.

On shaft 36 are clamped by bolts 37 three arms 38, to which is fastened the cutting-blade 39, which is thus made to rotate in connection with the cutting-gap cylinder1 29, the blade entering into the gap 40 of said cylinder.

There are six gaps in the blade spanning the overguides 30, and a sheet Whose length is twice the circumference of cylinder 29 is thus severed fromthe web at every revolution of the cylinder 29 and blade 39, except in the six places mentioned. A The pressure-pulleys 27 cause the web to be unwound from the roll 25, and also push the partially-severed web down the incline over the bridge-fingers 41, fastened to bars 42. When the leading edge of the web reaches the cylinder 21 and is about to be taken by the grippers (not shown) of cylinder 21, the tail edge is being partly severed by the blade 39 entering gap 40. The cylinder 21 and bed 5in the meanwhile having reached one end of their stroke, and the grippers being open, the web enters beneathand is closed upon by the grippers. ping the leading edge of the web, then starts forward in the direction of the travel of the paper at an accelerated speed, which, soon becoming greater than the constant speed given to the web by the cylinder 29, causes a sheet to bey completely severed from the web along the line already partially cut by the blade 39. Thesheet thus taken is then printed on its irst side by forms on the bed 5. The head of the sheet is then delivered to cylinder 43 bya set of the usual sheet-lifter lingers carried in the cylinder 21 under the leading margin of the sheet.

The grippers and sheet-lifting fingers and their mechanisms are not shown, as they form no part of this invention and are clearly shown in my application above mentioned.

The cylinder 43. mayconsist of a number of wheels fastened to shaft 44, which carries the spur-gear 45,4 meshing into cylinder-gear 22.

The cylinder 2l, grip-` to shaft 47, tend to strip the sheet from the cylinder 21 and to bend `it into contact with wheels 43. A series of belts 48, each carrying a gripper 49, held closed by springs 50 on spindles 51, levers 52, and rollers 53, run over sprocket-pulleys 54, fastened to shaft 55, runningin the stands 23 and 24, and over sprocketpulleys 56, running on shouldered collars 57, fastened to shaft 58. Belts 48 and sprocket- Wheels 54 and 56 are driven from shaft 55, which carries a gear 59, meshing with gear 45 on shaft 44, which is driven by cylinder-gear 22. Shaft 58 is capable of being moved in its bearings in the standsy 23 and 24, but is held in either of its two positions by means of a thumb-screw 60, passing through the arm 61 on the outside of the stand 23 and tapped into the stand 23 either at 62, Fig. 4, as shown in the crank-shaft end of Fig. 1, or at 63, as shown at the opposite end of Fig. 1 and in all the other views.

Extending between brackets 64 and 65, carried on shafts 66 and 67, are a series of bridge-fingers 68, placed a sufficient distance below the belts 48 to support a number of sheets and allow the passage over them of a sheet held by grippers 49. l

Secured to shaft 58 are two arms 69, carryling the shaft 70, upon which the chain-wheel 71 and the tape-pulleys 72 and 73 are 4fastened. To shaft 58 are also secured a series of pressure-pulley arms 74, carrying studson which run -pressure-pulleys 75. 'lhe object of these arms 74- is that there may be the same amount of pressure exerted by the pulleys 75 on the tape-pulleys 73 whether there are one or iifty sheets passing between the pulleys. Vhen the thumb-screw 60, passing through arm 61, is placed in the tapped hole 63, the arms 69 and 74 will be in such posi- IOO will cause the sheet which it took from the cylinder 43 to be brought into the bite of the pulleys 73 and 75. The rollers 53 of gripperlevers 52 are caused to be opened by riding on the hubs of wheels 5 4, and so take the sheets from cylinder 43. The springs 50 keep the grippers 49 closed on the sheet, thus holding it up to the belt and transferring it until the head of the sheet is brought into the bite of the pulleys 73 and 75, when the gripperrollers 53, rolling on cams-"76, projecting down from the cross-stay 77, cause the grippers to be opened and the sheet left in the bite of the pulleys 73 and 75. The grippers then proceed on sufficiently far to clear themselves of the sheet, at which time the' bed, having completed its stroke in the direction it started on when the grippers in cylinder 21 took the sheet, reverses and causesV the grippers 49, belts 48, pulleys 54 and 43,-and cylinder 21 to reverse and retrace their respective paths. f

\ Fastened to the upper way-shaft 20 by means of set-screw 78, and sliding on a feather 79, are a pair of bevel-gears 80 and 8l,either IIO ' around chain-wheel 71.

of which can4 be throwninto gear with the bevel-gear 32, pinned to shaft 83, which is supported in bearings in the bracket 34,bolt ed to stand 24. On the lower end of shaft S3 is cut a worm 35, which meshes into `the worm-gear 30, secured to shaft 37, journaled inthe stands 23 and 24. Shaft S7 carries the chain-pulley 848 and the tape-.pulleys S9.

Shaft is driven by means of a chain 90,

passing over chain-wheel 83 on shaft 87 and v Supported in jour* nals in the stands 23 and 24 is a shaft 91,'carrying` pressure-pulleys 92, rollingon pulleys S9. On each end of the 'upper way-shaft 20 is pinned a spur-gear 93, meshing in with a spur-gear 94, pinned toa shaft 95, which is'carried in brackets 9G and 97, bolted to stand 24. On shaft 95 is iixed a worm 98, nieshingin with worm-gear 99, running loose on shaft Y100. In

the end of shaft 100 is a fixed friction device 101, running in the female part in gear 99, and whicl1,by means of thumb-screw 102, can be regulated to any desired amountof friction. The shaft 100 runs in bearings in the stands 23 and 24, and is the core upon which the papers are collected after having been printed on one side.' VThe shaft 103, running loose in stands 23 and 24, carries rolls of tape 104 and a belt-pulley`105, which is driven from beltepulley 106, secured to shaft S7, by belt 107. The tapes 10S, being thus driven from shaft 37, have the same speed as have tapes 109, running over pulleys`73 and 39. The tapes 108, on leaving the rolls 104, pass around the roll of half-printed papers 110, which are being wound up; thence they pass around tape-pulleys 72 and between tape-pulleys 89 and pressurepulleys 92,`and so to the roll 110, towhose core or shaft 100 their ends are fastened. The tapes 103and 109 are so speeded that they advance at a constant speed but a very short distance-say one inch`- for each sheet presented to them at the bite between pulleys 73 and 75. Vhen the machine is first started and the rst sheet reaches pulleys 73 and 75, they bite it, and the grippers 49' are opened by roller 53 passing upon cams 76. Said grippers thus clear themselves of the sheet. Vhen the grippers 49 return, they leave the sheeththat they have just carried forward int-o the bite of pulleys 73 and 7 5', which pulleys, movin gat a very slow speed, will have advanced only a very short disV tance-say one inch-before the grippers 49' return again with a second sheet, which will be delivered to pulleys 73 and 75 with its head as much behind'the leading edge of the iirst sheet as that sheet has traveled in one complete cycle of motion of the machine. It is thus evident thatthe first sheet will not have passed from between 'the pulleys 73 and 75 untilthere have been as many sheets superimposed upon it as the distanceA which the tapes 10S and 109 move at each double stroke of the machine is contained an even number of times in the length of the sheet-#that is, if

the tapes 10S and 109 move one inchforward for each sheet received and the length of the sheet be thirty-twoinches, then there will be thirty-two sheets constantly in the bite of pul leys 73 and 75. rllhe sheets thus layered are carried on tapes 108 and 109 between pulleys 89 and 92, whence the tapes 109 start to rethem up on the roll 110.

The object of the friction device 101 is to allow the roll 110 to have a constant surface velocity equal to that of the tapes 109, no matter whether the roll be small or large. When the roll is small, it makes more turns per minute than when the roll islarge, and

"turn, Wlrile tapes 103 carry the sheets and roll consequently there is much more slip in the friction device 101 when the roll is large.

The screw 102 should be so adjusted as to cause the roll 110 to reel in the sheets With a constant tension on the tapes 108.

Having printed as many sheets as the roll 110 can conveniently carry, the machine is stopped and the forms replaced by others to' print the other side. The gear 35 is now thrown out of mesh with pinion 34 by being slid on the feather inshaft 30, thus causing the cutting-blade v39 to become inoperative and out of the way.

The side frame 111 of the folding attachment of AVthe machine is secured to the side A frame 2 and to stand 24 by the proper crossstays, one of which is shown as 112, 3.

Journaled in stands `23 and 24'and in frame 111 is the folder-shaft 113, Vcarrying` a spurgear 114, through which motion Vis imparted TOO to it from gear 115, secured to the shaft of r cylinder 29 by a set-screw and a feather in the shaft, upon which the gear 115Acan be slid.

` During the printing of the iirst side of the paper,\as-there is no use for the folder, the gear 115 is slid out of mesh with gear 114;` but when' the last form is put on and the folder is required gear 115 is thrown into mesh with gear 114 and the folder thus put in action.

i During the changing of the forms screw G0 should bctaken out of tapped hole 63, the lever 61 and shaft 58 rotated to the left, and the screw 00. placed in hole 62, thus causing the arms' 09 and 74, the pulleys 72, 73, and 75, the shaft 70, chain-Wheels 71, andA chain 90 lretake the positions shown in the right of Fig. 1. i s In order to reverse the moti-on of the tapes 103 and 109,'the .screw 78 should be slacked off and the gears SOand 8l4 slid along on the key 79, so' that the bevel-gear 31 may mesh started up. The tapes 108 and 109startfor-w.`

ward at the same speed, but in the opposite IIO IZO

direction to that in which they just moved, and unwind the sheets from the roll 110, tapes 108 being rewound upon their rolls 104. The sheets being still' layered are driven on the tapes 108 and 109 by the bite of the pulleys 89 92, between which they pass, and then pass-upon the bridge-fingers 116, fasgened to bars 117, (not shown in Fig. 3 for clearness,) and so toward the pulley 27 and cylinder 29. Vhen the sheet which was last printed reaches the bite of pulleys 27 on cylinder 29, its speed is increased, and it is quickly taken from the layer of sheets and passed under the guides 30 and down the bridge-fingers 41, being driven by cylinder 29. Just before the leading edge of the first sheet reaches the cylinder 21 and is taken by the grippers the layer of sheets resting on the fingers 116 will have been moved forward sufficient to cause the second sheet to be passed into the bite of pulleys 27 and cylinder 29, and thus separated from the sheets under it. The first sheet, having reached the cylinder 21,'is taken by the grippers, printed on its second side, delivered to cylinder 43 by the sheet-lifter iingers, stripped from the cylinder 21 by fingers 46, and its leading edge passed into the bite of grippers 49, which convey it along under the belts 48 and over the bridge-ngers 68. On thev end of shaft 113 is secured a spur-gear 118, which, meshing in with gear 1 19, fastened to the end of shaft 120, drives the foldingrollers 121 and 122 through the spur-gears 123 and 124, secured to them, respectively. The folding-rollers 121 and 122 are j ournaled in frame 111 and in stand 24.

J ournaled in brackets 125, attached to frame 111, are two tape-shafts 126 and 127, driven from folder-rollers 121 and 122 by bevel-gears 128 and 129, respectively. The tape-shafts 126 and 127 carry tape-pulleys 130,

over which tapes 131 run, whence they pass around folding-roller 132, journaled in crossstays 77 and 133. Journaled in the same cross-stays is a shaft 134, carrying pulleys 135,

over which tapes 136 run, whence they pass' around folding-roller 137, journaled in crossstays 7 7 and 133, parallel to folding-roller 132. Folding-roller 137, running in contactwith roller 132, which is driven by tapes 131, is

caused torotate and thereby drive the tapes 136, pulleys 135, and shaft 134.

Secured to shaft 113 outside of stand 23 is a cam 138, in which runs a roller 139 on a stud in forked connecting-rod 140. The rod 140 embraces shaft 113, being held in position by collar 141, and at its lower end it is connected to a lever 142, secured to a shaft 143, journaled in brackets 144 and 1,45,which are attached to stand 23.

On the end of shaft 143 is fastened a folding-knife lever 146, carrying the folding-knife 147.

The shaft 58 projects through the stand 24, and its end carries a collar 165, fastened to a shaft 166, whose other end is journaled in frame 111. The collar 165 and shaft 58'thus form a journal for the inner end of shaft166.

Secured to shaft 113 inside of frame 111 is a cam 148, which carries a roller 149, running on a stud in the forked connecting-rod 150. The rod150 embraces shaft 113, and is connected at its other end to a lever 151, fastened to shaft 166.

Pinned to shaft 166 is a folding-knife lever 152, carrying a folding-knife 153.

Journaled in stand 111 and frame 2 is a flyshaft 154, carrying a ily 155, to which motion is imparted by the arm '156, to which is connected a rod 157, whose'upper end embraces a crank-pin 158 in the gear 118.

The sheet having been printed on both sides and delivered by the grippers 49 to a position over the bridge-fingers 68, the grippers 49 are opened by the roller 53, riding on cam 76, when the folding-knife 147 comes up and tucks the sheet in between the foldingrollers 132 and 137. The tapes 131 and 136 then take the sheet thus folded lengthwise and run it out until it gets over the foldingrollers 121 and 122, when the folding-blade 153 comes downI and tucks it in between the rollers 121 and 122, and thus causes the second or transverse fold to be made. The sheet twice folded is delivered from the rollers 121 and 122 in front of the fly 155, by which it is deposited on the flyboard 159, carried in brackets 160 and 161, attached to the stand-2 and to the frame 111. The sheets so folded are then taken from the fly-board 159 for delivery to carriers or to a second folding-machine to receive additional folds; or addi- IOO tional folding mechanism may be connected l to the machine, and the sheets be thence iinally delivered ready for mailing. After the tapes 108 have delivered the layer of sheets to the bridge-fingers 116 said tapes pass around pulleys 72 and 89 and back around the roll of half-printed papers which are being fed out, and so to the shaft 103, upon which they are rewound ready for future use.

In order that the shaft 103 may take up the tapes as fast as they come from the roll 110, a tightener-pulley 162 is used. The pulley 162 runs on an arm 163, which may be fastened to the stand 24 in any desired position,

IIO

so as to give the belt 107 the required tension,

as shown in Fig. 3 and by dotted lines vin Fig. 4.

The inking apparatus is not shown, except the form-rollers 164, Fig. 1, as not essential to this invention.

From Fig. 1 it will be readily understood that my invention includes a double-ender machine, that there are two rolls of blank paper from which partially-severed sheets of paper are alternately fed to the cylinder 21, which thus prints a sheet on one side at each stroke of the bed in each direction, and said machine being a self-feeder in printing both sides of the sheet, my invention provides machines not limited by the ability of the attendants to feed the sheets, and which, being equilibrated in all reciprocating and oscillating movenients,"may be run at high speeds.
