L|NOTYPE-GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Lettersjlfatent NO. 726,725; dated April 28, 1903.

Application filed June 5,1902. fierial No. 110,308. (No model.) I

To 'aZZ whom it'mag concern: Be it known that L-FREDERIOK E. MILHOL- LAND, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Linotype-Galley, of which the follow-. ing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to construct a linotype-galleyso thatit may be locked up' that is to say, so that the type may be locked firmly in the galley. This I accomplish by a movable barrier arranged in the galley and having a certain novel form of locking lever and spring.

This specification is an exact'description of one example of myinvention,while the claims define the actual scope thereof.

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 both the views.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

a indicates the galley, which is of the usual construction, comprising a bottom, side walls, and one end Wall, the other end (the righthand end in Fig. 1) being left open.

1) indicates the barrier, which is'in the foriii' of a bar extending across between the side walls of the galleyandhavinglaterally-turned ends b and 12 which bear loosely against the side walls. The end I) has a lug b and on this lug is fulcrumed the forked end 0 of a hand-lever c. This hand-lever has a lug 0 near the fulcrumed end, which is adapted to engage the barrierb when the lever c is thrown into active position, thus limiting the movement of the lever and preventing the lever from lying so snugly against the barrier-bar as to make it difficult to grasp the lever to throw it back to the inactive position, as shown in Fig.1. The other end, 11 of the barrier-bar is orificed, as indicated at 19 and through-this orifice extends the rounding bent end d of a spring d. This spring extends to a point directly adjacent to the fulcrum of the lever c and is there connected to said lever by means of a pin 01 Figure 1 shows the device in released position, and in order to lock the barrier-bar the lever 0 should be thrown down into parallelism with the barrier-bar, as indicated in toward and against the side wallofthe gal-' ley adjacent to the end I) of the barrier, thus firmly locking the barrier in place. The movementof the lever c throws the pivot-pin d at the left-hand side of the fulcrum of'the lever, and consequently the pressure of the spring d tend sto keep thelever'in'active position. When the lever is thrown to inactive position, the pressure of the spring-has the reverse efiect-mamely, to keep the lever in its inactive position. v i

Various changes in the form and details of my invention may be resorted to at will without departing from the spirit of my invention. Hence I consider myself entitled to allforms of the invention as maylie within the intent of my claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A look for galleys, comprising a barrierbar, a finger-lever fulcrumed thereon, and a spring connected to the finger lever and guided on thebarrier-bar, the lever being arranged to compress said spring against the .galley to lock the barrier-bar in place.

2.'A'1ockfor"galleys, comprising a barrierbar havingan orifice therein adjacent to the side of the galley, a spring having one end fitted in the orifice, said end being adapted to engage the side of the galley, and means for projecting said spring longitudinally of itself acting to compress and cause the spring to impinge against the side of the galley.

3. A look for galleys, comprising a barrierbar having an orifice therein adjacent to the side of the galley, a spring having one end fitted in the orifice, said end being adapted to engage the side of the galley, and means for projecting said spring longitudinally of itself to press and cause the spring to impinge against the side'of the galley, said means comprising a finger-lever fulcrumed on the barrier-bar and having connection with one end of the spring} yi' 4. A look for galleys, comprising a'barrierbar with laterally-turned ends adapted to engage the sides of the galley, one of said ends having an orifice therein, a finger-lever fulcrn med to the other of said ends, and a springclarnp, one end of which is connected to the finger-leverand the other end of which is projected into the orifice in the first-named end of the barrier.

5. A look for galleys, comprising a barrier, a spring slidably carried thereby, and an operating member mounted on the bar and engaged with one end of the spring to impart movement thereto, whereby to flex the spring and cause its other end to impinge against the side of the galley.

6. A lock for galleys, comprising a barrierbar, a spring having one end mounted to slide on the barrier-bar, and means engaged with 15 the spring for projecting it longitudinally of itself to compress the spring and engage the said end thereof against a side of the galley.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 20 two subscribing witnesses.

FREDERICK E. MILHOLLAND.
