oAnRIER FOR TYPE-DISTRIBUTING MACHINES;
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 652,480, dated June 26, 1906.
, Application filed November 6,1899. Serial No. 735,859. cumin.)
have invented certain new and useful Im-' provements in Carriers for Type-Distributing Machines, 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 improvements relate to type-carriers of the class shown and described in Letters Patent to L. K. Johnson, dated July 19, 1881, No. 244,721, and to W. A. Lorenz, E. G. Parkhurst, and L. K. Johnson, dated July 19, 1881, No. 244, 724, from which the nicked types are'cjected by a lever tripped by the entrance of reciprocating feelers into the nicks. In order to afford the necessary number of feeler combinations for the different characters of a font of type, the nicks have to be formed in various portions in the edges of the types, some of the combinations necessitating the formation of the nicks at or near the middle of the types. As a result the smallertypes are materially weakened,especially when both combination nicks are formed approximately midway of the length of a type, and such types are bent or broken under the impact of those feelers which do not coincide with thenicks.
The object of my invention is to obviate this difficulty; and the invention consists, es-
sentially, in the combination, with the ejector and with the clutch of a carrier by which a type is held therein, of an abutment which sustains and reinforces the types midway, or approximately so, of their length, so that the impact of the reciprocating feelers is met and resisted without injury to even the weakest types.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a carrier and of a feelerslide. Fig. 2 is a front view of the carrier; Fig. 3, a side View of the body of the carrier, the ejector, &c., being omitted. Fig. 4 is a front view of Fig. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the ejector; Fig. 6, an elevation of the clamp; Fig. 7, a horizontal section upon the plane of line 7 7, Fig. 3; Fig. 8, an elevation of the carrier, showing a modification of structure;
Fig. 9, an elevation of the carrier, the forward end of the clamp being broken off to show the relation of the nicks in the type to the reinforcing abutment or block. Fig. 10 is an elevation of a modified form of clamp, in which the outer end is bifurcated to straddle the intermediate abutment. Fig. 11 is a similar .view of the form of clamp shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 12 is a horizontal section upon plane of line 12 12, Fig. 1. Fig. 13 is a view illustrating the action of the feelers on a type in an old form of carrier. Fig. 14 is a section taken upon plane of line 14 14, Fig. 5.
S represents one of the reciprocating slides carrying feelers ff, a rest-lever R, and trip pin g mechanism arranged and operating after the manner disclosed in the patent to J ohnson hereinbefore referred to.
B is the body of the carrier, recessed to receive the ejector E and clamp O.
a Ct are the usual upper and lower'abutments or type-rests embraced by the bifurcated arms 6 c of the ejector E.
j is the type floor or support for the heel of the type T.
A third or intermediate abutment a is formed upon the body of the carrier, as will be seen more distinctly by reference to Fig. 3, its front edge or surface being in line with the bearing-surfaces of the other abutment-s a a. The central web (2 of the ejector E is formed with the slot or recess 6 to admit the intermediate abutment a and allow the ejector to be drawn forward by the lever B,
when the latter is tripped by the entrance of the ends of the feelers f f into nicks ttin the types when the said nicks coincide therewith. The clamp O is also so formed as to receive and embrace the intermediate or central abutment a, as by the formation of a slot or recess 0, through which the said central abutment 0 projects.
The nature and object of my invention will be understood by reference to Fig. 3, which shows a narrow centrally-nicked type in an old form of carrier. It will be seen that the full impact and pressure exerted by the'feelers f f has to be sustained by the central and weakest portion of the type, which is practically unsupported between opposed edges of the upper and lower abutments a a. As a result narrow sinalltypes, and even those of larger size, which are nicked centrally, are bent or broken by the impact of successive feelers before the feelers coinciding with to overcome and which I obviate entirely;-
by my construction of ejector and central intermediate abutment on the carrier-body,
as herein set 'forth,"whcreby the thrust of the feelers is directly opposed and the types fully sustained under all conditions of size and the web 6', having the slot or recess c and nicking.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to 'se'cure by Letters Patent, is
1-. In combination with type feeling and extracting mechanism,atype-carrierformed with a central abutment for sustaining the dle said central abutment, substantially as herein setforth.
2. In combination with type feeling and extracting mechanism, the carrier B formed with central abutment a, the ejector E formed with the slot or recess 6 and the clamp 0 formed with the slot or recess 0, for the purpose and substantially in the manner described.
3. In combination with type feeling and extracting mechanism, the carrier 13 formed with the upper and lower type'abutm'ents, aa, and the intermediate abutment a, the ejector E form'ed'with the bifurcated arms e, e, and
the clamp 0 formed with the slot or recess '0, for the purposeand substantiall yin themanner set 'forth.
