SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,030, dated October 16, 1900. Application filed July 27,1896. Serial No. 600.663. (N model.)

To all whom, it Duty concern..-

Be it known that I, AUGUSTIN SARTIRANA, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Lyons, in the Republic of France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Engrai ing-Machines, (for which I have obtained a patent in France, dated March 12, 1896,) of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyint, drawings.

My in ven tion relates to en graving-machi nes of the type shown in the French Letters Patent granted me the 29th day of November, 1894., No. 165,678, and in Swiss Letters Patcnt granted the 21st day of October, 1890, No. 2,805.

It is the purpose of said invention to provide a machine capable of producing engravings on wood or metal which are accurate re productions of a photographic gelatin plate in relief, the latter being produced by the method well known in photolithographic work. It is my aim to provide a machine of this kind which shall be automatic in operation; and my invention consists in the parts and new combinations of parts hereinafter explained and then particularly pointed out in the claims.

For the purposes of the following description reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figs. 1 and 1, taken together, represent my invention in side elevation, one end being partly in section in Fig. 1. Figs. 2 and 2, taken together, represent the machine in plan view. Fig. 3 is a sect-ion upon the line (i, Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a section upon the line 7 8, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a face view or elevation of the steel slide. Fig. 6 is aview in Two parts, showing the bar which carries the tracing-point in elevation and in plan. Fig. 7 is a view in elevation and in plan showing the bar which carries the gravel. Fig. 8 is an elevation of the controlling-bar. Fig. 9 is an elevation of the cross-head. Fig. 10 is a view in three parisviz., an elevation, a plan, and a section on the line 9 lO--showing the support for the controlling-bar. Fig. 1]. is a detail side elevation, upon an enlarged scale, showing the hooked spring and lifting device which is attached to the tracer-carrying bar. Fig. 12 is a detail view of the graver and tracer bars in side elevation. Fig. 13 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 14. is a section upon the line 11 12 in either of the figures last described.

The machine is composed of two principal parts-a fixed frame and a carriage.

The bed or table A, which may be of castiron or other suitable material, is of rectangular shape and has its upper surface made perfectly true. It is prepared in the same way as the surface plates employed in mechanical workshops and is strongly ribbed below its surface in order to insure its complete rigidity, which without this precaution might be destroyed owing to fault-y erection, and it is absolutely necessary that it should be an exact plane. Upon the upper surface of this bed or table and in fixed positions are located two turn-tables B B, which receive the plate to be engraved and the model in gelatin respectively. These tables are adapted to move in two directions at right angles to each other in the same way as a slide-rest on a lathe by means of slideways a, attached to the surface of the bed or table and to one of the turn-tables, and adjusting-screws b, by which they can be made to occupy the desired position on the table or bed of the machine. Both the said tables are surmounted by a plate of bronze -c, pivotally mounted on their centers by means of a circular tenon which fits exactly into a recess or mortise provided in the supports. In to these bronze plates, of which the arrangement has been described, two circular plates (Z, of the same metal, are carefully fitted in close contact with the surfaces of the rectangular plates. These circular plates are intended to serve the same purpose as the others, but are of smaller dimensions, so as to permit of turning the objects placed upon them through any desired angle.

The support or table B, intended for the reception of the plate to be engraved, may receive when necessary a current of hotair for raising the temperature of the said plate by means of recesses formed in the body of the support and corresponding to a circular openinge in the bed or table A, as shown in Fig. 1.

The bed or table is provided at each of the short sides thereof with a slideway O, of cast.- iron, at. each extremity of which is arranged TCI) said slideways,the surface g, on which the carriage slides easily, and also the faces of the abutment 77, will all be strictly parallel one with another and with the surface of the bed or table A. In the bearings f of the slideways 0 two accurately-cut and similar screws D D are mounted at their extremities, which are not screw-threaded. These screws, which are normally free to turn in their bearings, may be fixed during the execution of an e-n- I graving by means of a set-screw tin the bearingsf at the side where the heads of the screws are situated. They are prevented from mov- K ving in the direction of their length atone end 3 by means of the said heads and at the other by a nut. A-chain E gears with the two chainwheels F F, arranged on the extremities of the screws D D, and enables the motion imparted to one screw by means of a crank ori handle applied to the square end thereof to be transmitted to the other in Whichever direction it takes place after loosening the setscrews 1 which are situated in the bearings.

The frame-plate or main support G of the carriage is parallel with the longer sides of.

the bed or table and occupies a position exactly at right angles to the slideways O C. Said frame-plate is formed of bronze and is strongly ribbed in order to make it very rigid.

The carriage-frame is supported at its extremities on the bearing-surfaces g g, which should be true and sin th and parallel to the-surface of the table and tothe ab-utments h h in the slideways G. The extremities of.

said frame arecou-nected to twosuppor-ts H H by strong screws, so as to be practically integral with same;

The carriage is intended to slide easily along the-slideways O 0, always remaining strictly perpendicular tdthesame by means 1 of bronze guide-blocksj, with which the lower extremitiesof the supports H H are provided.

The-supports H H, above referred to, which are of steel, carry in a recess provided for the purpose ratchet-wheels I I, the axes of which coincide with those of the main screws D D, which pass through them.

The ratchets I I are provided with levers J J, having pawls 0, which engage the teeth of the ratchets when moved in one direction and ride over said teeth when moved in the opposite direction. oted to rock in arcs which are concentric Said levers J J are ,piv-:

with the screws D, and they are moved by coupling-bars K, oneat each end of theframe 1 G. These coupling-bars are dovetailed incross-section and lie in recesses of cone. 1 sponding form in the slide N, as shown in Fig. 4.

The operation is as follows: To one of the coupling=bars K, (see the-second part of Fig.

is attached, by means of ascrew, a riderZ,

at the end of which is seen arod 7r, to one end of which is attached a ring Z. A spring n is coiled upon the rod 70, one of its ends pushing against the ring Z and its other end when the carriage moves to the right against a tappet 'm, which is placed against the vertical guide'w of the controlling-arm P. When the carriage after finishing its operative movement returns to the right in order to repeat the operation and make a new stroke of the burin, the tappet m presses on the spring n, which pushes moderately upon the ring Z,

the rod 7c, and the rider Z, which is attached to it. The connecting-rod 7a, which has a gudgeon at each of its extremities, is thus brought into action upon the ratchets I I through the pawl-levers J J, which turn the said ratchets through a space or are corresponding in extent t-o one or more of the teeth on said ratche'ts. This space is regulated by the adjustment of the ring Z upon the rod k. The coupling-bar K, which connects the pawlleve'rs, .is afterward brought back to its original position by means of a stud 19, against which the cross-head O strikes in its return movement. The ratchet wheels carry in front on one of their diameters two projections or tenons-Z Z, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1,) engaging with the recesses m m", provided on the rear face "of the cylindrical bronze nuts L L, which are arranged upon the screws D D, between the ratchet-wheels and the engaging blocks M M, with. which the supports of ithe'carriage-frame are provided. The frame G has also fixed by three screws g on its front face a steel support N, from end to end of which the cross-head 0 travels with a reciprocating motion, which is imparted to it by .a motor 8 through the speed-reducing gear T. Said cross-head O carries with i-tthree bars P Q R, these being the parts which sustain the graver and tracer.

These parts are denoted by the letters P, R, and Q, the bar R carrying the gravi-ng-t'ool g and the bar Q carrying the tracing instrument c" and so connected that the movements given to the latter by passingover the reliefs ofwa pattern will be reproduced in the former, so that if an operative movement is at the same time imparted to the bars the graver will be caused to cut in a plate submitted to its action an accurate imitation of the pattern. The-specific functions and relatio-nsof these parts will be explained in their order hereinafter.

The cross-head 0 (shown separately in Fig. 9) is provided near its ends with bronze boxes 1", having flanges 11 arranged vertically on said boxes at the ends of the cross-head O. The cross-head is guided on the support N by blocks t, which are adjusted by set-screws u. (Shown in Fig. t.)

The bar P, which is arranged against the 1 boxes r of the cross-head O and which is free to move in a vertical direction, slides between the flanges o en the bronze cross-head boxes. This bar, which I term the controlling-bar,

carries at one of its ends, secured thereto by screws '2), a vertical guide 20, and its motion of translation is imparted to it by the crosshead 0, which carries it along by the engagement of a stud 2 which is screwed into a threaded opening in that'one of the bronze cross-head boxes 7* which overlies the opening or mortise it in the end of the controllingbar P, as shown in Fig. 9. When the parts P, Q, and R are operatively connected, as shown in Figs. 12, 13, and 14, and arranged on the cross-head, the stud y lies in the opening a and the controlling-bar P is carried along thereby, accompanying the movement of the crosshead O. The horizontal position which it assumes is obtained by its resting on one side by means of its support U, which is located at some point of its length upon the plate .2 to be engraved and on the other side at its extremity by means of a shoulder a, formed on its edge and intended to slide upon the bridge V, which is itself supported upon the edges of the glass support I) for the gelatin print. At the other extremity of the controlling-bar P and at such a height as to insure that the bar Q, carrying the blunt or tracing point, shall have as nearly as possible a corresponding position to that occupied by the controllingbar jaws c are arranged to connect the two bars by means of a thin steel blade (6, which serves as an axis and at the same time leaves the bar Q perfectly free to move vertically without causing wear or allowing play between the extremities of the parts. This bar Q, carrying the blunt or tracing point, has on its lower edge a spring e, the tension of which can be easily regulated by means of the slide f according as it is necessary to increase or diminish the penetrating force of the grave/r g to obtain an engraving more or less deep. A second slide 7t, similar to that justret'erred to, which is also fixed to the bar Q, transmits to the bar R, carrying the graver, the movements which are imparted to the bar Q by the blunt point t", which is fixed to it, in following the reliefs of the gelatin printj. The bar R, carrying the graver, which is below the bar Q, is fixed to the controlling-bar P by an axis X, around which it can oscillate in a vertical direction, pressed above or below by the slide h and the spring 6. This barR carries, fixed firmly to its front face by two set-screws 7s, a graver g for cutting the metal plate.

The engravingmachine, the details and working of which have been hereinbefore described, produces really good results only when the tool acts on the forward stroke. If it cut the metal during the reverse movement-that is to say, when the apparatus is resuming its initial positionin other words, that which it had at firstthe metal would not offer a suitable surface for the firm and free out which is required in my system of engraving. In order to remedy whatis, in my opinion, a grave defect in spite of all the attempts which I have made to apply to this part of my machine theadvantages which it was thought to obtain by the employment of electricity, I arrange on the support N two small brackets Z and Z", which support parallel to the bar Q, carrying the blunt point, a horizontal rod we, provided with two tappets 12 and s. These tappets are capable of adjustment upon the rod m, so that they can be separated by a greater or less distance, according to the dimensions of the print to be reproduced. The two tappets 'n and .9 remain without movement during the action of the engraving-tool g. Said tappet-s accompany the frame G in its movement of displacement along the slides O C, said movement being produced by the screw-shafts D D; but they are fixed, so far as regards longitudinal movement, in a line parallel with the cutting movement of the engravingtool. As the graving-tool moves forward a pin 0 at the end of the bar Q is brought into engagement with the tappet 9t and rides upward upon an inclined face on said tappet until a s .)ring-hook 12, also mounted on the bar Q, as seen in Fig. 11, is forced against and over a lug g, which projects from the vertical guide w upon the end of the controlling-bar P. This operation raises the tracer-carrying bar Q, and by the adjustment of the tappet 72 upon the rod m the tracer is raised from the pattern at the exact point required, the graving-tool being also raised at the same instant. Both tools are held in raised position by the engagement of the spring-hook p with the projecting lug q during the movement which precedes another operat-ion of the graver. Upon the completion of this movement the pin 0 is brought into engagement with the other tappet s, which forces the bar out of engagement with the guide. The pin 0 then falls upon the flat face of the tappet .9 and upon the forward or operative movement of the parts resumes its normal posit-ion.

The principal parts constituting my automatic engravinginacliine when constructed with precision and assembled in the manner above described insure an exact and regular action of the rectilinear perpendicular movements to which the assemblage of the three coupled bars P, Q, and R is fitted. These parts effect the work required of them-that is to say, that by their arrangement I reproduce the reliefs of gelatin prints obtained by photographic means in either simple parallel cuts or cross-hatchings of a width exactly proportional in every point to the print which serves as a model. As a result of this the surface of the metal plate receives the inking medium employed in such a manner that by the juxtaposition of the lines I obtain, when printing from the plate, prints to any number, which reproduce with the greatest fidelity the model from which it was desired to form an engraving, even when the printing has been done on the quick rotary machines now in use, while doing away with punching and considerably reducing the preliminary IIO on metal or on wood in the following manner:

I uncover sufficiently the turn-tables d d in sending back the carriage by means of the screws D D, which I actuate by a handle applied to the square end of one of them after having previously freed the ratchet-wheels from the pawls. I then fix upon the bronze plates d d, above referred to, either with wax or'otherwise, the substance to be engraved,

whether metal, wood, or any other suitable substance, upon its glass support b, and the gelatin print in the same way, the engravingplate at z and the gelatin at 3', the gelatin having been obtained by exposure to the-suns rays behind a negative photographic plate representing any subject whatever which it is desired to reproduce by my engraving process. The plates so fixed should have their centers upon one and'the same line parallel to the slide N and should correspond as nearly as possible with the centers of the tables upon which they are fixed.- Their dimensions should be such that while the blunt point t is traversing the surface of the gelatin j the graver g does not leave the engraving-plate z. I then move the carriage back until the blunt point t" coincides with a point upon the gelatin print corresponding with the point where the work of the graving-tool should begin upon the plate .2. At the same time Icause the nose or shoulder a of the controlling-bar P to rest upon the upper surface of the bridge V, holding it there by means of the screw 15 and the spring a. The bridge V lies parallel with the line of movement of the blunt point a and tracer 1;. The lower face of said bridge is recessed to prevent it from comin gin contact with the surface of the gelatin print, and its ends rest on the edges of the glass support I), on which said print is placed. Said bridge receives movement from the frame G, by which it is carried step by step from one side of the gelatin print to the other. It preserves the same position relatively to the blunt point a throughout the process of engraving. The head of the binding-screw y of the support U (see Fig. 10) now rests upon the steel ribbon '0', which is suitably stretched by a threaded bolt Z (Figs. 1 and 2) on the surface of the engraving-plate z in such manner that it is exactly opposite the point of the graver g, fixed to the graver-arm R, and the shoulder a bears the same relation, so far as its posiseeped tion is regarded, to the blunt point t". The graver g in the position which is given to it should be at such a height that when the required cuts have been made it will skim over or barely touch the surface of the metal in the parts corresponding to the highest reliefs of the gelatin print, and if it has been set in such a manner as to have the necessary angle it should impart to the plate the exact effect of the model. At the same time also I fix the screws D D in their bearingsff by means of the set-screws 7 '5. I arrange the shoulders of the rods 1)" b at the required distance for reversing the movement when the blunt point coincides with each side of the frame i i of the gelatin proof. I also regulate the distance separating the tappets n and s, which raise and depress the tracercarrying bar Q, in order that said tracer, as well as the graver, shall execute their work exactly in the limits of the frame which has been decided upon. The ring Z of the rod 7t is in its turn arranged in such a manner that the blunt point i beingu'pon the edge of the frame containing the gelatin print the block in, by means of the spiral spring or (which actuates the pawl-levers through the said rod shall have moved the pawls of the levers J J to the extent of their travel. The stud p on the coupling-bar K having also been arranged so that during the backward movement, which will afterward be imparted to it by the cross-head, the pawls 0 will pass the same number of teeth previously decided upon, themachine is now in working order. If I wish to execute an engraving, I complete the electric circuit by actuating the lever of'the contact-breaker g", which is arranged upon the frame. The main current immediately excites the poles of the reversible motor. A part of the current now traverses the commutator Y, passing by two of its contacts to the armature, which it sets in motion in such a direction that after having been reduced by a device T, which includes a pulley .upon which a traction-cable d is wound, the cross-head and the arms, with which it is provided, move in a regular manner while the graver makes a cut. During this movement the tracer-carrying bar Q is raised and depressed in a vertical direction by the action of the controlling-bar P sliding upon a smooth surface of the engraving-plate z and then by the blunt point t", which follows the reliefs of the gelatin print. As a consequence of the movements of the said arm Q the arm R, carrying the graver, with which it is in constant contact through the spring 6, which presses it against the slide h, executes the same movements and in the same direction as those of the tracer-arm Q1novements which will be of a magnitude which can be confined within the desired limits by adjustment of the slide it. The graver c, which is firmly fixed to the arm R by set-screws 7c is and to which motion is imparted by the travel of the apparatus along the slide N of the frame G and of the arms, cuts the metal in transforming the reliefs of the gelatin print int-o cuts of corresponding size. At the moment when the blunt point t" is at the end of the travel which has been assigned to itt-hat is to say, at the other extremity of the frame for the gelatin print the cross-head 0 having with one of its ends struck against the stud p of the coupling-bar K, connecting the pawl-levers, the pawls 0, carried by said levers, are caused to engage with the teeth of theratchets at such points as to produce the next ensuing movement of the frame or carriage G. In effecting this engagement the levers J J are turned upon their supports in such a direction that the pawls will ride over the teeth of said ratchets without operating the latter. The pin 0, which in this motion of translation of the cross-head O, with which it is connected, has remained free at a small distance from and above the rod on of the lifting tappets s and it, strikes against the tappet n, and by the form which is given to this tappet the bar Q, carrying the point to which it is firmly fixed, rises and is held in this new position by the hooked spring 2'), which bears against the piece q, fixed to the vertical guide The graver and the point immediately leave the surfaces upon which they are resting. In this motion of the cross-head 0 from the gelatin printj toward the engravingplatez the shoulder of one of the rods b", situated behind the said cross-head, aotuates the lever of the commutator and the direction of the current is instantaneously reversed. The return of the cross-head O to its initial position takes place immediately. During this movement the coupling-bar K, connecting the pawl-levers, is urged in the opposite direction to the end of its stroke by the pieces m n, which force the nuts L L to turn with a progressive movement equivalent to the distance between the cuts and so advance the carriage and all the parts attached to same by the same movement. This advance of the carriage G may be obtained either by causing the nuts L L to turn, as shown in the accompanying drawings, and keeping the screws D D fixed or equally well by fixing the nuts L L and cansing the screws D D to rotate. At the same moment the pin 0' strikes against the upper portion of the other tappet s the hooked spring 1) leaves the piece (1 and the tracercarrying bar Q rests the blunt point on the gelatin print. The graver,which has made the same movement, again places itself in contact with the engraving-plate, the switch has re sumed its original position through contact with the forward shoulder of the rod 6, the current passes through the armature in the reverse direction, and a second cut is executed, after which the cross-head takes back the apparatus in the same manner ready for the next cut, and so on, as before, until the whole surface of the gelatin has been gone over by the blunt point, after which the machine ceases working altogether, the current being interruplwl by the action of a projection 7L" upon the circuit-breaker g.

As above stated, the engraving the production of which we have been considering is a plate representing any desired subject in re lief by parallel lines only; but supposing it is desired to reproduce in relief the same subject by cross'hatching and with equal exactitude, such as cannot be attained by any process hitherto in use because of the length of time during which the action of the acids employed has to continue, (more especially when a relief-engraving is required,) which action diminishes the strength of the drawing and endangers its sharpness, the arrange ment of the machine as above described is in no wise altered. It is suflicient to simply arrange the gelatin print and the engraving plate upon the turn-table c c or d d, according to their dimensions, in the manner already indicated for an engraving with parallel lines only, taking the precaution, however, to make their centers coincide as exactly as possible with those of the turn-tables and to see that the distance which separates these centers is exactlyequal to the distance separating the point of the graver g and the point of the tracer t.

The first operation (that of producing the parallel cuts) may be executed in the manner above described, the cross-cuts being produced in the same way after the turn-table has been caused to turn through the desired angle.

From the above description of the succession of operations in engraving by my process by means of a gelatin print and a ma chine arranged as above set forth it is clear that if the angle of the graver has been correctly determined and suitably located on the apparatus at the required height, (which it is quite easy to elfect,) the distances between the cuts being known, as well as the maximum height of the reliefs on the gelatin, it will be possible to obtain, by simply completing the electric circuit and without its being necessary to superintend the successive operations of engraving, a plate engraved in relief, either in parallel lines only or crosshatching, which is an exact reproduction of the subject selected, capable of being used for printing immediately Without requiring any retouching and for a large number of impressions, even with the quick rotary ma chines which are now employed.

Should it be impracticable to make use of an electromotor for actuating the machine, any suit-able and independent motor may be used.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. In an engraving-machine, the combina tion with a bar Q having a tracing-point at one end, of a bar R carrying a graving-tool, a cross-head O, a support on which the crosshead is movable, a controlling-bar P lying parallel with and pivotally connected to the bar R, a box upon one end of the cross-head provided with a stud lying in an opening in the controlling-bar P, a flexible connection between the bar Q and the controlling-bar P,
