JOHN L. WAIT, OF EAST CAMBRIDGE, ASSlGN OR TO HIMSELF AND GEORGE J. SUTTON, OF CAMBRIDGEPORT, MASSACHUSETTS.
Letters Patent No. 78.033, dated May 19, 1868.
IMPROVEMENT IN OOMPOSING STIGKS.
TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME;
Be it known that IJOHN L. WAIT, of East Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have made a new and useful invention having reference to Composing-Sticks for the- Use of Type-Setters; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- I Figure 1 is a top view,
Figure '2 a transverse section, and H Figure 3 a rear elevationof a composing-stick provided with my invention.
Figure 4 is a front view of its adjustable shoulder and its clamp.
In ,such drawings, A denotes a composing-stick of the usual form, a being its abdtment, and'b its typesupporting ledge. V i
B is the adjustable shoulder or slide, which is placed against the ledge 6. Instead of making the ledge with -one or more holes or slots to receive one or more screws to confine the shoulder- 13 in place, as it'is customary to make, I provide such shoulder with a clamp, C, to straddle or clasp the ledge in manner as represented.
From the-rear part of the clamp a pin, D extends, and goes through the base part a of the shoulder 13, and also through a washer, b, and is jointed-to a camm'cd lever, E, which is formed and arranged in mann r as represented.
The base of the shoulder is recessed, as shown at c, to receive the rear portion of the clamp, and below thecammed lever'a screw, d, is screwedthroughthe base of the shoulder, and against the lower part of the back portion of the clamp. v
By means of the screw, the clamp may be adjusted, so as to cause the cammed lever to nctivith a greater or less degree of power on the clamp, as occasion may require, in order to confine the shoulder to the ledge of the composing-stick.
The ledges of dilferent composing-sticks vary in their thickness. As one shoulder will answer for several of such sticks, it becomes desirable to have the clamp applicable to either, whatever may be the thickness of its ledge. The screw enables this to be accomplished, and the cammed lerer be caused to outwit-h the requisite pressure. By turning the cammed lever into parallelism with the ledge, the-shoulder will be clamped to the ledge. Thus, by means oflthe clamp applied to the lodge, in manner as explained, and by the cammed lever jointed to the pin D, the shoulder, when adjusted at any desirable distance from the abutment, may be there fixed.
I claim as my invention, the clamp G, as combined with the summed lever E and the adjustable shoulder B, and formed to straddle or embrace opposite sides of the ledge of the composing-stick.
I also claim the combination and arrangement of thescrew d with the clamp C, the cummcd lever E, and the adjustable shoulder B, arranged and applied together, substantially in manncr and so as to operate as specified. H I
J.- L. WAIT.
