UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

LOUIS FREDERICK LAING, OF TORONTO, CANADA.

PRINTERS GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 563,495, dated July ,7, 1896. Application filed August 10, 1895. Serial No. 558,904. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Louis FREDERICK LAING, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Galleys, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in printers galleys patented to Samuel E. Horne on the 18th day of March, 1890, under No. 423,559, and in which patent I hold an undivided one-quarter (i) interest, and the object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of the mechanism by which the sidestick is laterally moved; and it consists, essentially, of two pairs of obliquelyslotted plates, one pair being reversely slotted to the other, and the outer plates of each pair being securely held in the side bars ofthe galley above the plates secured in the sidestick and the plates being operatively connected together by pins, which extend through the slots and have their heads underneath the plates attached to the sidestick, and their upper ends riveted in the operating-bar, which is provided centrally with a moving pin, a further pin being provided extending upwardly from the bottom plate of the galley, so as to abut preferably the outer ends of the pair of plates near the closed end of the galley, as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a galley constructed in accordance with my invention, showing the sidestick partially broken away to exhibit the construction. Fig. 2 is a crosssection through the galley on line xoa'slotted plates, and connecting-pin and operating-bar.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A A are the side bars of the galley; A the closed end; B, the bottom plate, and O the sidestick.

down upon the bottom plate B of the galley.

g is a pin which extends through the operating-bar and has the bottom end resting on the bottom plate B of the galley. The lower extension of the pin 9 serves to stiifen the bar G, and thus prevent the ends of the bar from springing and thus forcing or disconnecting the riveted upper ends of the pins F from it. The upper extension provides for the movement of the bar, and consequently the lateral movement of the plates E and sidestick O, to which they are attached.

It will be noticed that one end of the galley is entirely open. In order to hold the sidestick from moving longitudinally, I provide a pin H, which is secured in the bottom plate 13 of the galley and extends up, so as to abut the plates D and E near the closed end A The pin H is of course necessarily placed against the ends of the plates D and E farthest away from the closed end A as shown.

- It will be seen from the simple form of galley which I describe that the sidestick will be held down by the outer slotted plates being above the plates secured in the sidestick, and will also be held rigidly by the pins F with the heads f underneath the plate E. The upper ends of the plush are riveted, as-hereinbefore described, to the operatingbar, and consequently the plates and bar are held securely together, and the sidestick may, therefore, be moved laterally without any fear of being thrown up or forced out of position atthe top.

In my form of galley it will be seen tha as the slotted plates are entirely above the bottom plate of the galley, and also as the end of the galley is open opposite the space in which the plates are placed, that any type which falls into this space may be readily removed by simply tilting the galley and not as in former galleys having to turn the galley upside down.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is?- r In a galley the combination with the side bars, closed end and sidestick, of obliquelyslot-ted pairs of plates, the upper one of each pair being secured in the side bar and the under one secured in the sidestick the pins IO with heads at their ends extending through the reversely-formed slots in each pair of plates, the operating-bar extending over the upper plates and having riveted in it the upper ends of the connecting-pins and the pin H abutting the ends of the plates I) and r 5 E as and for the purpose specified.
