UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
WILLIAM T. TILLINGHAST, OF DAYTON, OHIO.
lMPROVEMEN-T IN COMPOSING-STICKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 54,979, dated May 22, 1866 antedated May 7, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that L'WM. T. TILLINGHAST, of Dayton, Montgomery county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gomposing-Sticks, of which the following is a full and eear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specilication.
The material used in constructing the stick The improvement does away with the cross-pieces and screws heretofore used, and in their places is substituted a clam ping-n ut, which secures the slide B to the back of the stick; also, one or more adjustable check-blocks and checking-bar attached to the slide in place of the usual devices for measuring the ems.
Figure l is a perspective view of my improved composing-stick. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the back side of the stick with the clamping-nut.
A is the stick. B is the gaging-slide. b is the checking-bar. c, c', and c are check-blocks having slots l, 2, and 3. The check-blocks o o c are securedin any desirable position by set-screws. In check-block c is a mortise, d, which is for the purpose of receiving the point e of checking-bar b. Checking-bar b is pivoted to gaging-slide B at f. Through slot a, inthe back of the composing-stick A, passes the screw-shaft g, which carries the clamping-nut h, screw-shaft g being firmly secured to gagin gslide B.
` b, comes in contact with check-block c.
When the stick is used for setting full measure, as for newspaper-column, the slide B is thrown back until the point e, checking-bar Since all printed columns are not of the same measure, the check-block o may be readily moved by loosening its set-screw and afterward tightening it when the desired position has been given the check-block. The clamping-nut thus secures the gaging-slide B inthe desired position.
When one-third measure is required the slide B is moved forward until the point e, har b, is inserted in the mortise d in checking-block o. For one-half measure the point e of barb abuts against the front end of cheokingfblock c. When the measure requires a long stick and is constantly varyin g the check-blocks o, c', ando" may he dispensed with and reliance placed upon the slot a and clamping-nut h. 1
Having described my invention, and made clear its advantages, I make the following claim y The gaging-slide B, screw-shaft g, and clamping-nut h, in combination with check-blocks c c o and checking-bar b, constructed and operating as above shown, and for the purpose set forth.
WILLIAM T. TILLINGHAST.
