SIDE-LOCKING GALLEY-STICKL SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 463,325, dated November 17, 1891.

I Application filed December 12, 1888. Serial No. 293,412. (No model.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ANDREW ALFSON and HARALD J ANSEN, citizens of the United States, residing in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Side-Locking Galley-Stick, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in galley-sticks in which by means of a simple locking device the same is easily and securely locked against the inner side of the galleyframe; and the object of our invention is to provide a locking device for the galley-stick in the galley which shall be secure and simple. \Ve attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I is a full view of our side-locking galley-stick when locked to the side of the galley. Fig. II represents a side view of the galley-stick, showing the rack in the groove. Fig. III represents side view of bar D. Fig. IV is a sectional view of the rack, showing the pinion and the arms Z and Z.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In our drawings, A represents the oblong tray or printers galley.

a is the top ledge and a a are the side ledges of the galley.

13 represents the galley-stick, which is pro- Vided with the groove b. Stick B is in one end provided with the claw c, which hooks over the lower end of the plate of galley A, as illus trated in the drawings. The other end of galley-stick l3 abuts against theinside of the end of the tray and is provided with an arm extending outward over and beyond the latter, as seen in Fig. II. In the end of this projection is pivoted an eccentric O, which is provided at its outer or lower end with a lip d, as illustrated in said figure. \Vhen the stick is put in place, it is fastened by turning down the eccentric against the end of the galley, which brings the lip cl underneath the bottom of this end of the tray, and so holds the stick from moving in any direction.

D is a bar which serves as end-lock for the galley-stick. It is in one end provided with groove 61' and shoulder c by means of which it slides to and fro upon the upper side of the grooved galley-stick B, as illustrated in our drawings.

d3 is a pivoted dog on the side of bar D, by means of which the bar D is locked to the galley-stick B at any desired place.

Within the groove 1) of galley-stick B, and toward the end thereof to be secured to the top ledge a of the galley, is the straight toothed bar or rack f, which engages with the semi-pinion g. The axis of the pinion g passes through the sides of the flanges forming the I groove in galley-stick B, and to the upper end of this axis is secured the finger h, as illustrated. The upper flange of groove b, where the axis of the pinion g passes through the same, is provided with a semicircular plate K, which plate is notched in its upper side near its circumference, as illustrated in our drawings. These notches engage with the finger h.

\Vithin the groove Z) are the arm Z,suitably pivoted in one end at n to the lower flange of the groove 17, and arm Z, suitably pivoted in one end to the rack f, as illustrated in Fig. II of the drawings. The remaining free ends of the arms I and Z are pivoted together by means of pin m. 0 is a notch in the upper flange of groove 1) to receive the projecting end of pin m, as seen in FigsI and II.

The operation of our invention is as follows: Let me represent the type to be locked on the galley, as illustrated in our drawings. lVe put the galley-stick to the side thereof, so that claw 0 will hook over thelower end of the plate of galley A. Then we secure the upper end of the galley-stick by means of the dog 0 to the upper ledge of the galley. Next the galley-stick is pushed against the type. The bar D is moved up against the end of the type 0 and fastened by means'of the dog (1 Then the pin m is pushed out'of its notch up to the side ledge a of the galley, whereby the rack is drawn toward the fastening-point of arm Z in the lower flange of the groove. WVhen the pin on reaches the side ledge of the galley, the finger h is turned up toward the right from its position, as indicated in Fig. I of our draw- 10 f, the pinion g, and arinsl and l, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. In a side-locking galley-stick, the galley A, in combination with the grooved stick B and the eccentric C, pivoted to the projecting end of the stick and provided with a lip d, adapted to be turned under the end of the galley, substantially as described.

3. In a side-locking galley-stick, the galley A, in combination with the grooved stick B, provided at one end with the claw c, the eccentric C, pivoted to the other end of the stick and provided with a lip 61, adapted to turn under the end of the galley, and the bar D, substantially as described.

i. A side-locking galley'stick comprising the grooved stick B, the plate K, the claw 0, the dog C, the bar D, the rack f, the pinion g, the finger h, the arms Z and l, the pin m, and the slot 0, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
