SLUG, QUOIN, FURNITURE, OR THE LIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 773,191, dated October 25, 1904.
Application filed April 19, 1904.
To all whom it 777/(L1/C072/067n:
Be it known that I, EDWARD J. BUEHLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Slugs, Quoins, Furniture, or the Like, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of this invention is to prevent linotype slugs or type-bars from working off their feet, as this operation is commonly spoken of in printing-offices. The metal of such bars is more solid next the type-bearing face, and in the use of quoins and foot-slugs and the like in looking up the type-bars in forms the softer part of the metal has a tendency to yield against pressure, with the result that the type-bars get out of alinement or work off their feet.
The invention consists in quoins, foot-slugs, and similar devices used in locking up the type bars in a form provided with a rabbet at the bottom to come opposite the lower or softer portion of the linotype slugs or type-bars, and thereby to throw the pressure upon the upper or harder metal of such slugs or bars, and so prevent them from working off their feet. 7
The invention is applicable to quoins, footslugs, furniture, and the like for stereotype and other chases; but for purpose of illustration I have shown the invention herein as applied only to quoins and foot-slugs.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure l is an end view of several linotype slugs or type-bars in position between a foot-slug and a quoin constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the Serial No. 203,914. (No model.)
foot-slug. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the quoin. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a plain wedge-quoin.
The linotype slugs or type-bars 1 may be of any usual construction. The foot-slug 2 of metal has its lower edge which comes next the type-bar provided with a rabbetS. The quoin 4 has at diagonal edges the rabbets 5 and 6, one made to run transversely and the other to run vertically as to depth, although the form of the rabbet and its arrangement may be changed at pleasure. 7 is an ordinary wedge-shaped quoin. As shown in Fig. 1, the rabbeted portions of the foot-slug and of the quoin come next the bottoms or feet of the type-bars and adjacent the softer metal of which they are composed, while the solid and unrabbeted faces bear against the upper or more solid portions of the type-bars, and thus the pressure when locked up in a form is taken off of the feet of the type-bars and put upon their upper or harder surfaces, and consequently the tendency of the type-bars to work off their feet is obviated.
In the use of the term quoin in the claim I mean not to limit the invention to quoins technically so called, but to devices having art.
What I claim is- A quoin, having a rabbet in its edge next the foot of the type or type-bar so as to take pressure off of the said type or type-bar at the foot.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 2d day of July, A. D. 1903.
EDIVARD J. BUEHLER.
