CHARLES J. BOTZ, OF SEDALIA, MISSOURI.
TYPE-SETTlNG AND LANE-CASTING MACi-HNE.
SPECIFICATION forming part 01" Letters Patent No. 589,636, dated September 7, 1897.
Application filed March 13, 1896. erial No. 588,109. llo model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. BOTZ,of Sedalia, in the county of Pettis and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Im-' provements in Type-Setting and Line-Casting Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an apparatus for settin g type in such a manner that the lines may be readily cast therefrom, an d has for its object to provide a simple apparatus of the above-indicated class. V
The invention will be fully described hereinaifter and the features of novelty pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved apparatus. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation thereof on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a perspective view of one of the bars carrying the types or matrices. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the lower end of a lever employed to lock the types in place. Fig. 5 is a detail front elevation, with parts in section, showing the line-casting apparatus; and Fig. (5 is a broken sectional view showing the casting apparatus in connection with the bars carrying the matrices.
The apparatus consists of a frame 1 ,in which are set a plurality of parallel horizontal rods 2, which may be superposed directly or arranged in an inclined plane, as shown in Fi 2, said rods serving as guides for the bars 3, which are held to run thereon, the bars being also capable of pivotal movement, so that their lower ends can be raised and lowered and the several bars being of such a length that their lower ends, which carry matrices 4:, may be alined in a horizontal row at the bottom of the frame 1. The bars which run on the same guides 2 carry identical matrices, and there are as many guides as it is neces sary to provide different characters for setting up in type the particular matter for which the apparatus is intended.
Before bringing the matrices into position for casting a line therefrom the bars 3 are held. at the right of the bracket 1. (See Fig.
1.) Then the first bar required-forinstan ce,
a G bar in the sentence illustrated in Fig. 1is carried to the left of said bracket until it is adjacent to a stationary block 5 and is then dropped so as to engage the side of said block. The other bars are then successively brought into the requisite position, it being understood that any bar can be passed over another bar running on a different guide 2 by properly raising or lowering the bar which it is desired to pass to the left of another bar. lVhen the line has thus been completed, as shown in Fig. l, the matrices at are pressed together, so as to practically form one rigid body, by means of a lever 6, pivoted at the right end of the frame 1 and havinga wedgeshaped lower end (i to engage the matrices.
hen the line of type is a short one, as at the end of a paragraph, the space at the end of the line is filled with spacingbars, so that the lever 6 may be used to properly tighten up the line.
lVhen the line is thus formed, a casting apparatus is employed to produce a casting of the line. Said casting apparatus comprises a box or casing 7, pivoted at 8 to the side of the frame 1 and having an inlet 9 for the entrance of molten metal. The box 7 is adapted to fit into grooves 4L, provided in each of the bars 3 at each side of the matrix proper 4;, (see Fig. 6,) and the pivot Sis so arranged that by swinging the box 7 from the inverted position shown in full lines in Fig. 5 to the upright position shown in full lines in Fig. l the box is brought into the grooves t and the inlet 5) is brought into position to receive the molten metal from the pct 10.
'In order that the type-bars 3 maybe readily returned to the original positions after the line has been cast and the lever 6 has been swung back into the position shown in Fig. 2, I provide a distributor 11, which is held to run on the guides 2 and is provided with teeth 12, having inclines 12 at their free ends to engage the lower surfaces of the corresponding type-bars Said distributor 11 has an arm 13, connected to a lever 14, which may be operated either by hand or by means of a pedal 15, which is connected to the lever lat through the medium of a chain 16 or its equivalent. By forcing the distributer to the right the teeth 13 take under the type-bars 3 and raise them to an approximately horizoni211 position, and the d i'etributer will then push V the typebars back tetheiight of ihe bmekeii A spring; 17 nailed on' the mm 12), serves 1 "i0 retr'act-theQistzributevll, While a iever 15 esii'iien perfiomned quickly, and the misting appzirzvtus iseut of the Way whiie iiheiypes axehe may be swung into the path 0f the typeba rs to prevent them from being carried back by the distribute? It will be seenihat the typeimre are i-eadiiy arranged in any deeh'ed 'sueeessien and can be qmekiy brought back totheirmziginei p01 The (Ia-sting operation -Vaiso1ea11- be ing :u'rzm ged for casting.
Havingihu'e Eieseribed my invention, I claim as new and desire ieeeeure by Letters,
said grooves being depressed below the-type aninlet, or the molten metal and with side Walls adapted i0 fit into the Gepi'essed grooves atezieh sicieef the matrices, said easbinghex being; pivoted adjacent $0 the end of the line about an approximatelyhorizonmi axis and capable 0f anietionefi abeut one hunched and ei hty Gegrees on ESE JiCLELXiS sethat said he); i can beswung frem an upright he an inverted position, substantiallynsdeserihed.
, 3. The combination 0f thetype-baifs the guidesen "which theyere adapted to run, an ii the (listi'ibiiter held to move in the same ii recuion as the type-bars, and havingwedge: shaped pmjeetiens adapted-e to engage the lower surfaces of the type-bars to lift ihe same and then carry them ferwalvii on their guides, substantially as specified.
4L. Vlhe combination 0f the type-bars, the
guides on which fihey are adepteti to run, and
11119 diet rihiitev: likewise'heid. to run on said I guities, and provided with proj eetiens adm t-' I ed telifb and earryuferward the Said type hairs,[substantially aeepeeified.
