LUOIEN A. BROTT AND GEORGE A. KAY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
COMPOSITE TYPE-BAR AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 542,140, dated July 2, 1895.
Application filed December 3, 1894. Serial No. 530.709- (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LUOIEN A. BROTT and GEORGE A. KAY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Composite Type-Bars and Methods of Making the Same; andwe 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 pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
Our invention relates to a composite typebar and the method of making the same; and the object of the invention is to construct an improved composite bar of separately cast type.
The invention consists in the'novel features of construction hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 designates the line of type ununited. Fig. 2 isa similar view of the same line of type united to form the composite bar. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of one of the type. Fig. 4 is a section on line at 4 of Fig. 2.
A designates the type which have been cast "and set by a suitable casting and setting mechanism, (not shown,) each type being cast upon one side with'the transverse notch B,
here shown as preferably formed dovetailed.
When the type are assembled, these notches extend in line after the type has been justified by suitable devices, and for making the line composite the interstices of the type forming the continuous notch or depression are filled with the molten metal O, which constitutes a locking-slug, the metal also spreading into the spaces between the words and also slightly between the adjacent spaces of the type, the latter being set with very slight spaces between them, so that the molten metal can run therebetween for securely looking and holding in a unitarian bar the several type which constitute it.
If so desired, the type may be providedwith more than one notch and the same may be differently arranged from that here shown without departing from the spirit of the invention,
which contemplates the locking together of the type by running molten metal in interstices formed therein, the metal forming a locking-slug.
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An improved type bar comprising a line of type, and spacing bars and a locking slug therefor formed of type metal, whereby the type and bars and slug may be melted down and be reused, substantially as shown and described.
2. An improved method of forming com posite type bars consisting in setting and justifyinga line of recessed type and then filling the interstices between the type as well as the recesses therein with molten type metal which when hard binds'and spaces the type, the whole being capable of melting down and reuse, substantially as'shown and described. In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
