SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,168, dated August 9, 1904.
Application filed April 25, 1903.
To f]; 7/11/0171 it 777/02] concern:
Be it known that we, EDwIN W. PIERSON, residing atNewark, and ROBERT E. CLARK, residing at South Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, citizens of the United States, have invented and produced a new and useful Improvement in Printers Galleys; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The objects of this invention are to provide a printers galley having a pivoted side which can be tipped or opened out of its normal position or away from the type, so as to facilitate manipulation of the type, insertion of brasses, &c.; to provide'a slidable end plate which cannot inadvertently detach itself from the body portion; to secure upon said end plate locking means which shall engage the pivoted side upon merely closing the latter; to provide such locking means as shall hold the end plate firmly against sliding, so that a proof can be taken; to enable the pivoted side to be held in such an intermediate position as will secure the type against falling over and yet permit the end plate to be slid along for the insertion of more type, and to obtain other advantages and results, some of which may be hereinafter referred to in connection with the description of the working parts.
The invention consists in the improved printers galley and in the arrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embraced in the clauses of the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
-in which like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figure 1 is a plan of our improved galley, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view showing the parts in locked relation; and Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line :0, Fig. 1, showing the pivoted side open. Fig. 5 is an end view showing the said Serial No. 154,258. (No model.)
pivoted side in its intermediate position, and
Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views of a certain stop-pin or segmental stud.
In said drawings, 1 indicates the bottom of our improved galley, formed, preferably, of sheet metal and having one fixed end 2-and one fixed side 3. The other end of the galley is open and a pivoted side 4' is arranged op posite to the said closed side 3, said pivoted side being mounted at its opposite ends upon pins 5 6, one, as 5. passed through the said closed end 2 of the galley and the other, 6, projecting from a block 7, placed near the open end. The said pins 5 6 enter sockets in the ends of the pivoted side 4, said sockets being located at the lower outer corners of said ends, so that when the said side tips upon the pivots its inner face 8 is thrown away from the type a quarter of an inch, more or less, thus permitting free access to said type for manipulation of the same. Upon the top of said pivoted side4 is a longitudinal outwardlyfacing shoulder 9, adapted when the side 4 is completely closed, as shown in Fig. 3,to receive a spring-hook, hereinafter described, whereby the said side is locked against opening. Preferably between said shoulder 9 and the inner wall or face 8 of the side 4 is a groove 10, adapted to receive the point of the spring-hook, as shown in Fig. 5, and hold the pivoted side against either closing completely or opening completely. In this intermediate position the inner face of the pivoted side lies away from the type 26 enough to permit a certain degree of looseness, and at the same time the type cannot fall over or become disarranged. When the pivoted side is opened to its widest extent, however, aspace of a quarter of an inch or so is 1 formed at the side of the type and free manipulation allowed. Either position can be employed, as the work of the typesetter demands.
Between the said sides 3 4 of our improved side 3 said end plate is provided at the bottom with an upwardly-hooked tongue or exstood.
Upon the top of the end plate 11 and disposed longitudinally of the same is a leafspring 19, secured at one end to said end plate and projecting at the other end over the pivoted side of the galley and having a hook 20 to engage the shoulder 9 and groove 10 thereof, as above described. To cooperate with said spring-hook 19 in securing a firm looking of the end plate 11 to said pivoted side, so that the end plate will not slide under any pressure of the type, we provide in the end of said plate 11 a plunger 21, projecting from a socket 22, at the bottom of which lies a stiff spiral spring 23, forcing said plunger outward. To hold said plunger within proper limits of movement,ascrew 24,passingthroughthe side of the end plate, enters a recess 25, formed in the side of the said plunger 21, as clearly shown in the drawings. Thus when the pivoted side is closed into upright position against the type 26 and the spring-hook 19 of the end plate hooked over the same the plunger 21 presses firmly against the said side opposite said hook and holds the end plate firmly thereto. Said end plate therefore will not slide under the pressure of the type, even though not fastened by an independent clamping or looking, but merely closing the pivoted side.
By our improved construction, therefore, the end plate has a permanent sliding connection to the fixed side, so that it retains its operative position independent of the pivoted side, which latter may thus be freely manipulated as desired. At the same time by reason of the recess 15 in its inner wall the said pivoted side aids, when nearly or entirely closed, in confining the end plate. cess 15 is located at the lower edge of the inner wall of the pivoted side, so as to not interfere with its swinging, this position being rendered possible by the location of the pivots of said side at or near the outer edge of its base. Preferably the recess 13 of the fixed side 3 is also at its lower edge for convenience in manufacture, greater stability of the end plate, &c.
Obviously various modifications in the detail construction of our device as, for instance, in the precise means for slidably connecting the end plate to the galley or in the exact means of engaging the pivoted side from the sliding end plate could be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and we do not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves by the above positive description, except as the state of the art may require.
Having thus described the invention, what we claim as new is 1. In a printers galley having opposite sides one fixed and the other pivoted, and both being recessed at their inner lower edges, a sliding end plate substantially flush at its top with said sides and having at the lower edges of its ends extensions entering the said recesses, and means for locking said pivoted side.
2. In a printers galley, the combination with a pivoted side, of a sliding end plate adapted to abut endwise against said side and having a socket in said abutting end, a plunger in said socket, a spring normally forcing said plunger outward, and means for locking said pivoted side against the end plate.
3. In aprinters galley having a side pivoted near the outer edge of its base and adapted to move at its inner wall away from or toward the type as it is swung on its pivots, said pivoted side being provided at its top with a plurality of longitudinal outwardly-facing shoulders, an end plate adapted to slide longitudinally of the galley, a spring-hook upon said end plate adapted to engage said shoulders, and means for holding said end plate in place.
4. In a printers galley, having a pivoted side and a sliding end plate, a spring-plunger upon one of said parts adapted to engage the other and tending to force them apart, and means upon the end plate for locking the pivoted side thereto against the power of said plunger.
5. A printers galley having a fixed side grooved at its inner face, an end plate having a tongue sliding in said groove, and a segmental pin mounted in said side and adapted to beturned to project into the said groove or he clear of the same.
6. A printers galley, having opposite sides, one fixed and the other pivoted, said fixed side having at the lower edge of its face a longitudinal recesss enlarged upwardly inward in Said retransverse section, an end plate extending transversely between said sides and having at its end next the fixed side a hooked tongue'or extension slidably fitting the said longitudinal recess thereof, and means for, locking the pivoted side to the other end of the end plate.
7. A printers galley having a fixed side and a pivoted side, a transverse end plate lying wholly between said sides and being perma nently and slidably connected at one end to the inner face of the said fixed side, and means for automatically and detachably locking the free end of said end plate to the pivoted side.
8. In a printers galley, the combination with a body portion having opposite sides, one fixed and the other pivoted, and both being longitudinally recessed at their inner lower edges or corners, of an end plate adapted to slide in transverse position between said sides, said plate having at one end an extension permanently engaging the fixed side and at the other end an extension adapted to enter the recess of the pivoted side when the latter is closed, and means for locking said pivoted SIC e.
9. In a printers galley, the combination with a body portion having opposite sides one pivoted and the other fixed, said fixed side having in its face a groove enlarged inward from its mouth, of an end plate extending transversely between said sides and having an end tongue or projection provided with an enlarged portion lying in the said groove in the fixed side, and means for locking the pivoted sideto said end plate. 7
10. In a printers galley, the combination with a side pivoted near the outer edge of its base and adapted to move at its inner face awayfrom' the type as it is opened, of a sliding end piece between said sides, a hooked catch upon said end" piece, an outer longitudinal shoulder or stop upon said pivoted side adapted to be engaged by said catch to hold the side closed against the end piece, and a second longitudinal shoulder upon the pivoted side intermediate of the first and the inner edge of the side, adapted to be engaged by the catch to hold said side away from the type at the top of its face and adjacent to the same at its bottom.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing We have hereunto set our hands this 17th day of April, 1903 EDWIN W. PIERSON. ROBERT E. CLARK.
