EDWARD L. MEGILL, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
FEED-GAGE FOR PRINTING-PRESSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 703,734, dated July 1, 1902. Application filed April 12, 1902. Serial No 102,504. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD L. MEo L'L, a citizen of theUnited States,residing in the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feed Gages for Printing-Presses, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in platen-printing-press feed-gages which are formed from thin sheet metal and in which the part known as the gage-head presents an approximately high, surfaceor wall with wings bent to the rearward.
The object of this invention is to form a brace for these wings and. to shield the hand from injury against them, they being somewhat sharp. V
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the feed-gage complete with a sliding tongue, the same being mounted in position on a fragment of the tympan, with a fragment of a card fed to the gagehead. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of twoof the feed-gages as set in position on the tympan for printing with a full-size card fed to them.
A is the tympan-sheet ordinarily employed on the platen of a press, and B is the card fed to the feed-gage.
Of the feed-gage, l is the prong which holds the feed-gage in position on the tympan. 2 represents arms or shanks which extend rearwardly from the upper part of the gage-head 4 and partially support it as against the pressure of the sheet in feeding. These shanks 2 also form guideways for the sliding tongue 3. 5 represents the wings of the gage-head, which are bent to the rearward to round off the corners and facilitate the movement of the sheet in feeding. commonly employed in a feed-gage,the shanks 2, however, sometimes being reduced to a single shank and used as the part by whichthe gage-head is secured by the aid of other means than a prong to the tympan or platen.
All these are parts A-ttention is now called to the guards 6,
which extend laterally from the shanks 2 immediately back of the wings 5 and which abut against them at their rear. These guards 6 brace the said wings 5 and serve to shield them.
gage head 4 and wings 5, joined to a rearwardly-projected supporting-shank or arms 2, similar to those shown herein, may embody this improvement.
Having thus described my invention, I.
claim- '1. A feed-gage for platen printing-presses formed of thin sheet metal, having a gagehead with rearwardly-bent wings, and later ally-projecting guards in their rear, whereby the said wings are shielded and braced, substantiallyas set forth.
2. In a feed-gage for platen printing-presses formed from thin sheet metal,a gage-head having rearwardly-bent wings, and a rearwardlyextended supporting-shank, said shank being provided with lateral guards, whereby the said wings are braced and shielded, substantially as set forth.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 11th day of April, A. D. 1902.
