ABBOT AUGUSTUS LOIV, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE ALDEN TYPE MACHINE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
TYPE-DISTRIBUTING APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,405, dated May 29, 1900. Application filed September 8, 1898. Serial No. 690,461. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ABBOT Ace usrus Low, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Distributin g Apparatus, of which the following is a specification sufficient to enable others skilled in the art to which the invention appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to mechanism for transferring types from one channel to another, and is designed more particularly for use in automatic type-distributing apparatus of the class known as the Alden distributer.
The object of the invention is to dispense with the comparatively-complicated mechanism heretofore in use for this purpose and to render the apparatus much more simple and effective in construction and operation, at the same time materially lessening the cost of the construction and maintainance.
The essential feature of my invention consists in forwarding the types from a channel in which they are received in the same relation in which they come from the press, by means of a reciprocating type-pusher, onto a lifter by which they are transferred to and beyond latch mechanism at the lower end of the type-containing channels desired for the particular letter forwarded.
In the accompanying drawings I show only sufficient of the apparatus to illustrate the invention, the other parts of the apparatus being of a well-known form of construction and the operating of the signaling apparatus, &c., being substantially the same as heretofore, as will be fully understood by reference to Patent No. 212,503, issued to A. C. Richards February 18, 1879, and No. 245,562, issued to T. Reeve August 9, 1881.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation through the channels and adjoining parts, showing the lifter in its normal position. Fig. 2 is a top view of the lifter. Fig. 3 is a View similar to Fig. 1, showing the lifter raised. Fig. 4 is a section upon plane of line 4. 4,. Fig. 3.
A represents the channel into which the lines of type from the galley are introduced. The column of types in this channel A rest upon the floor a, over which the pusher P is made to reciprocate by suitable mechanism, thereby forwarding the lowest type in the column onto the lifter L, by which the type is raised into the individual channel I to be supported therein upon the latches 't'.
The construction of the latch iis the same as in the Alden distribu ter, and I claim no novelty in this respect. Neither do I claim any novelty in the construction and operation of the lifter L, excepting that said lifter is in the present case formed with the guidewalls Z for sustaining the types laterally during the forwarding action of the pusher P, the mechanism for actuating the lifter being familiar in the state of the art.
Heretofore the types have been picked up, manipulated, and transferred by delicate and complicated mechanism which has not always been positive or accurate in operation, whereas by my improvements I not only dispense with the complication of parts, but also insure a direct and positive delivery of the types which are not turned or deviated from the direct line of advance during the operation of transferring them from one channel to another.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a type-distributing apparatus of the class herein designated, the combination of the receiving type-channel A, type-floor a, reciprocating pusher P, lifter L, individual type-channel I and latches z', t', the whole arranged and operating substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In a type-distributing apparatus of the class herein designated, the combination of 0 the receiving type-channel A, type-floor a, reciprocating pusher P, lifter L, formed with the side walls Z, Z, individual type-channel I, and latches t, 2', the whole arranged and op.- erating substantially as herein shown and described.
