MEANS FOR INSERTING MOVABLE TYPE IN STEREOTYPE-PLATES.
SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 424,085, dated March 25, 1890.
vApplication filed May 17, 1888. Serial No. 274,210. (No model.)
T0 at whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ELMER \VHITE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Inserting Movable Type in Stereotype-Plates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the inventionywhich 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 the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
My invention has relation to means for facilitating the operation of making ready the forms and plates of newspapers. In dailynewspaper offices it is essential that the forms be left open to the latest possible moment for the insertion of news-matter; but Where the.
forms are to be stereotyped all matter must be in type in time to allow for stereotyping, which usually takes from fifteen to twenty minutes, thereby frequently preventing the insertion of news-items that should properly belong to the edition.
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby the stereotyping process may be proceeded with and the plate prepared at the proper time with a provision for the insertion of such supplemental news-matter as may have been collected during the interim of stereotyping by means of insertible typereceptacles which shall contain the matter duly set up with type, after which the receptacles are secured in the proper position with in the plates previous to locking the form, by which means the latest news may be furnished in the edition to be printed.
The invent-ion'consists in forming the stereotype'plate with tops or openings in the colv Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are like views, respectively,
of a modified form, the receptacle being inclined from the base to the upper side, Fig. 6 being a section on lines y 11 Fig. 5. Fig. 7 represents a section of a stereotype-plate formed with openings for the reception of the type-receptacles. Fig. 8 is a like View showing the receptacles in place. Fig. 9 represents a section of stereotype-plate with a typereceptacle secured within the inner surface of the plate.
A designates the type receptacle or holder; B, the type secured therein and locked in position by screw 0; or, if desired, a spring or wedge may be employed for this purpose. The receptacles or holders may be rectangular in cross-section, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, in which the sides A are vertical, or the sides may be inclined, as shown at A, Figs. 4 and 6.
D represents the stereotype-plate, formed in the usual manner and having openings D, adapted to receive the type-holders. These openings are formed by inserting a core in the matrix previous to casting the plate, that shall occupy the position intended for the type-holders. The openings may be formed in any desired location in the plate, either centrally of the surface, as shown in Fig. 9, or opening at the ends, as shown in Fig. 8, and is shaped to correspond with the form of the type-receptacle. On the right of Figs. 7 and 8 are illustrated openings with vertical sides D and limiting projections E, against which the upper edges of the holder rest, while at the right of said figures the sides D" incline from the bottom to the top of the plate, and the holder is formed to fit within the inclined sides, impinging sufficiently to allow the type to exactly register with the printing-surface of the stereotype-plate.
In operation in preparing the form for stereotyping the desired number and size of spaces are reserved that are deemed sufficient to contain the supplemental matter to be inserted by means of the type-holders. The matrix is prepared in the usual way, there being cores inserted in the positions indicated in the forms, and the stereotype plates are prepared in the usual manner.
During the preparation of the plate the later news-items are set up in the receptacles 2. In combination with a stereotype-plate having an undercut recess, a holder carrying movable type and having an exterior contour corresponding in shape to the shape of the recess, the body of the movable type being of the Width of the top of the recess, as and for thepurpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereby affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
ELMER WHITE.
