To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, ENGLAND J. BARKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of .Morgan Park, in the county of Cook and 5. State of Illinois, have'invented certain newand useful Improvements in Web-Perfecting I-rinting-Presses, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

b ,-Web-perfecting printing-press which while just as, capable of use for printing other matter isfpa'rticularly adapted for use in the printing the continuous strips of paper used in autographic manifolding registers, which it I .."can consecutively number, can punch and "tint in whole or part, besides slitting the ipaperinto as many strips as are printed at one time. ThisI accomplish by the means hereinafter fully described and as particuzofjlarly pointed out in the claims.

20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 are detail views of minor parts of the invention.

The means for supporting the mechanism embraced in my invention comprise two main frames A and A, which rest upon the floor and are connected near their bases by suitable tie-bars. At a suitable point above 7 the floor these frames are provided with pro- The-ob ect of my mventlon is to provide a jecting shelves A? and A The u per edges of these shelves are inclined from t e extremity tothe main body of the frame, and at the upper end of these inclines of the rear shelves A they are provided with open bearingsin which the journals of the shaft of the roll of paper B to be fed to the machine are journaled and retained by a suitable pin B. At the upper end of the inclined edge of the front shelves A of the frame another bearing is provided, in which the shaft C for winding The inclined upper edges of these portions A and A are designed for the purpose of, facilitating the rolling of the journals of the shafts of said roll of paper and the ournals of the shaft C,

on which the printed paper is wound, to and from said bearings when removing the same or when adjusting the same in position in the machine. Above these open bearings the main frame is A-shaped and have secured to and support on their upper edges corresponding standards aa, in the upper ends of which bearings a are provided for the shaft D of the impression-cylinder E, which extend laterally a suitable distance to form a journal for other elements of the machine, as will hereinafter fully appear. One end of this cylinder is closed by a gear D, which is driven by a gear F on the drive-shaft Gr through the medium of an interposed-idle gear I). This idle gear b is mounted on a longitudinal shaft 0, which connects and is journaled in the main frames A and A and between its bearings serves as a guide for the web of paper as it pays out from roll B.

Drive-shaft G has one end journaled in one of the sidefraines-and the other in an auXil-'- iary frame G and between its journals is provided with a fly-wheel G a pulley GT, and a combined friction-clutch and drive Pulley-G is loose on the shaft By shifting shaft C longitudinally away from j the front wall of frame G.

removed from its bearings.

shot to and from its counterpart by means of shaft 0 the disk C disengages from the clutch C and said shaft can then be easily This clutch is corresponding arms C, projecting up from the transverse rock-shaft C journaled in These arms engage a loose collar on the extended boss of the clutch, and through their instrumentality a weighted arm C, projecting horizontally from the forward end of shaft C keeps the clutch in engagement with its counterpart.

The ends of the impression-cylinder shaft D extend. beyond their bearings and have loosely supported and journaled on the-extended bearings a of the drive-shaft are the bosses of the end frames carrying the circumferentially adjustable tintin roller mechanism, the typecylinder mec anism, the numbering mechanism, and the punching mechanism of the press, respectively lettered H H, I I; J J, and K K. Each pair of these end frames are substantially alike in construction, except that the end frames H, I, J and K have set-screws tapped radially t-herethrough that bite into bearings a, whereas the bosses of the frames H, I, J, and K have segmental gears h, i, j, and 7c, respectively, projecting downward therefrom in such relative position to their respective frames that when adjusted as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings said segments are all sub stantially in the same radially-adjusted position. Frames H, I, J, and K are arranged side by side on shaft D, and the segmental gears It, i, j, and is are parallel to each other and are respectively engaged by one of the four pinions 7t, 4/, y", and it, which are respectively secured on the parallel spindles 71- 71", 3' and k journalcdin the main frame A and the upturned end wall of a bracket B projecting therefrom. The outer ends of the spindles 71 i j, and k extend through their bearings in said end wall and are squared, so that they may be engaged by a suitable key. The position of these pinions on said spindles is in the same vertical plane as the segment engaged thereby, and thus the turning of one spindle will not affect the others, and any one of these adjustable frames may be moved independent of the others. The advantage of this is apparent. Circulars, bills, or other similar printed matter may be made of any length, and the relative positions of the type-cylinder, the numbering-head, and the punching mechanism der can be had.

may be changed so as to make their impressions and perform their part of the work at any point desired on each circular.

Frame I, which carries the type-cylinder, has at a suitable point beyond the circumference of the impression-cylinder bearings d for the shaft 61, on which the type-cylinder d is suitably mounted. These bearings (I d comprise rectangular blockshaving grooves in their longitudinal sides which adapt them to be placed and be capable of longitudinal adjustment in the vertical slot 0 in said frames I. The upper end of this slot is occupied by the hollow cylindrical boss 6 of the plate 0", removably bolted to the edge of the frame I, so as to bridge across and close the outer end of slot 0. This boss preferably extends out beyond plate 6? a suitable distance, and the outer end of its bore is closed by a screw-plug e The inner end of this bore is open and has a plunger e movable tllOIfGlll,

which is kept pressing against bearing (Z by a coil-spring e between it and plug. 6 Seated in a suitable groove in the bottom of slot 6 is a cam-pin e", which is semicircular in cross-section and has semicircularheads on its extended ends that lap against'the sides of frame I and prevent longitudinal displacement of said pin. Projecting from the outer head of the vpin is a squared boss which is adapted to be engaged by a suitable key or wrench to turn it. When so turned, the heads of the pin engage and raise the bear ings d, and thus move the shaft (1 and the type-cylinder out of engagement with the impression-cylinder. Tappedlongitudinally and centrally through plug 6 is a gage-bar e", the outer screw-threaded end of which is engaged by a thumb-nut 6 by means of whi -h it can be adjusted longitudinally. The inner portion of this gage-bar extends through the spring e and into engagement with the end of the plunger 6. By means of this construction a very nice adjustment of the typecylinder d to and from the impression-cylin- It will be apparent from Fig. 24 that the type-cylinder d can be adj usted longitudinally upon shaft d to any position desired and-that my invention contemplates the use ofa cylinder of comparatively small diameter, the length of which Wlll correspond to the cylinder E or any portion thereof. Just inside its bearings at one end shaft (1 is provided with a disk or frictiongear 2, which engages the circumference of the impression-cylinder, and thus imparts motion to said shaft.

Ink is supplied to the type-cylinderd by the ink-rollers ff. The shafts upon which these ink-rollers are made have their ends extended out through suitable openings in frame I and are journaled in suitable bearings in the ends of rocking frames 3, which are pivoted to the outer surface of frames I by bolts 4 4, passing through longitudinally- 1 elongated openings in saidframe, as shown.

These rocking frames 3 3 are arranged in a plane at right angles to a line passing be-' tween rollers f and intersecting the center of the type-cylinder substantially in alinement with each other, and their ends opposite the ink-roller bearings are pointed, and the beveled edges producing this point are preferably at right angles to each other. The beveled edges of these pointed ends are engaged by the gage-screws 5 5, which are tappedthrough lugs projecting from frame I. By manipulating these gage-screws 5 the relative-position of the ink-rollers to the typecylinder and to each other can be determined to anicety. Y

' The end portions of the ink-roller shafts f adjacent to the friction-gear 2 are each provided with friction-pinions 6 6 on disks through the medium of which the motion of shaft (1 is imparted to the ink-rollers, and said ink-rollers are engaged by a vibrating ink-distributing roller 7, -mounted on the vibrating shaft 8, which derives motion through the medium of a friction-gear 9, secured thereon, that is engaged by the friction-, pinion on disk-.6, and is given its vibratory movement by means of a cam 10, having a spiral groove l-l-journaled on the stud projecting from the stationary arm 12 enters,

the shank of arm 12, is rigidly secured in the adjacent frame I.

Ink is supplied by means of devices hereinafter to be morefully described to the vibratory distributing-roller 7 from an inkfountain. This ink-fountain comprises end frames 13 13, the side edges of which nearest the type-cylinders are extended and secured to the inner surface of the frames I.

The outer wall of the fountain consists of a plate 14, secured to the outer ends of frames 13, and the inner 'wall consists of a longitudinally-disposed plate 15, the ends of which are provided with corresponding inwardly-projecting ears which are pivoted to the inner surface of frames 13 between sald plate 15 and the outer plate 14, as shown. The lower edge of this plate 15 rests upon the circumference'of an ink-roller 17 and serves as sort of a doctor to regulate the film of ink on the roller 17, which will be taken from the fountain, and to'permit the adjustment of plate 15 for this purpose I have made a segmental slot 18 in said ears and inserted therethrough aset-nut 19, by manipulating which the adjustment of plate 15 with reference to roller 17 can be satisfactorily accomplished.

' The bottom of the ink-fountain comprises a casting having an inclined upper web that has a drop -wall depending from its lower edge. In the vertical surface of th s dropwall opposed to roller 17 is a longitudlnal groove, andseated in this groove 13 a doctor 22, preferably rectangular 1n cross-section, which is adjusted to and from roller 17 by meansof a series of set-screws 2.3. The up-. per edge of the inclined portion of casting 20 is connected to the lower edge of plate 14 of the fountain, and this casting, the doctor 22,

and roller 17 from the'bottom of the inkfountain. The ends of roller 17 are journaled in bearings in a depending rectangular. extensionof end frames 13, and these'bearings ma be formed in any suitable manner.

In or' er to transfer the ink from roller 17 to the vibratory distributing-roller 7 ,.I have provided a roller 24, which is journaled in the ends of arms 27, that are pivoted to the ex-- tremityof the forwardicurvedextensions of the end frames 13 of the ink-fountain. These arms 27 have extensions 25,that are engaged by cams 26 on the, type-cylinder shaft (1, which as said shaft revolves oscillates arms 27 and moves roller 24 first in contact with roller 17 and the vibratory roller. Roller 17 has a ratchet 60 and is given an intermittent rotary motion by the engagement of this ratchet a gravit -paWl 28, by which it is ivotally connecte to arm 27 at one end'o the. machine or ink-fountain. In order; to insure the engagement of extensions 25 of these arms 27 with the earns 26 at all times, I prefer to place a coil-expansion spring 29 betweenthe projecting overhanging wall'30 of end frame and arms 27.

,It is often desirable to illuminate or tint the paper .or a portion of the paper of each printedcopy of matter passed through the machine. the type impression is made thereon. The frame I-I, carrying the tinting mechanism, is therefore so adjusted that its operation precedes that of the printing-cylinder.- The tinting-cylinder L, the inking-rollers Z l, the vibratory distributing-shaft 1n, the ink-fountain'M, and the oscillating roller n for transferring the ink from the fountain occupy the same relation to each other and cooperate in a similar manner as do the typeecylinder (Z rollers f, f, 7, 17, and 24, and the ink-fountain supported by frame I. The changed po sition of the tinting cylinder with relation to the impression cylinder necessitates a slightly-different arrangement of the inkingrollers and ink fountainthat is, the ink- I ing-rollers are placed below instead of along- This it is desirable to do before 7 The numbering mechanism of the printingpress which is carried by frame J and said frame itself are identically the same as frame I and the mechanism carried by it, with the exception that the numbering-head carrier carried by the former is substituted for the type-cylinder of the latter. The only difference is in the psitionviz., frame J and its mechanism are the reverse of frame I and its mechanism. The numbering-head carrier 0, which I prefer to use, has been made the subject of an application for Letters Patent of the United States, filed by me March 27,1902, Serial No. 100,241, and it is therefore unnecessary to go into detail concerning it, except to state thatit comprises a carrier secured and fastened to and revolving with shaft 0 and that it has recesses in its periphery, in

which one or more numbering-heads 7) are re -movably and adjustably secured. This shaft 0 is actuated in a similar manner and with similar means as shaft (1, and two inking- ,rollers g g engage the numbering-heads, and a vibratory distributing-roller P engages said inking-rollers, and an oscillating transmission-roller-Q supplies the ink to said distributing r'joller from a similar ink-fountain R, all the same as similar elements in frame I.

The frame K and the punching devices and mechanism connected therewith are entirely different from the other adjustable frames and the mechanism carried thereby. The punching mechanism comprises shafts S and s, which are journaled at each end in said frames K and have adjustably secured thereon holders T and t for the male punch V and the female counterpart 4), respectively. The holders T comprise a suitable boss, which. is fastened to the shaft S by nieans of a spline 33 and set-screw 34, substantially as shown inFigs. 16 and 17. This boss has an arm projecting therefrom which has a head 35 projecting laterally from its outer end, which Is provided with an opening extending radially therethrough for the reception of the male punch V, which is secured therein by means of the set-screw 37, substantially. as

'shown. The boss 25 also has an arm projecting from it, which has a head 38 projecting laterally from its outer end, and this end has a radial opening in'it, in which the female counterpart v is secured by means of a setsorew 40. The-female die is tubular, and its bore is of the same diameter as the male punch V. The length of these arms is such that their peripheries touch at a point midway between shafts S and s, and the male punch V is so adjusted in head 35 that its engaging end projects just sufficiently beyond the periphery of the head that when said holders T and t are properly ad usted on their respective shaftsthe male punch will enter D on the cylinder-shaft D it is provided with a small gear 41 that meshes with and derives motion from gear DT. This gear 41 engages asimilar gear 42 on shaft 8 and revolves said shaft at the same rate of speed as the shaft S.

In order to pass the printed web of paper between these revolving punches, I pass the Web as it leaves the impression cylinder around a guide-roller 43 and then over a guide-roller 44 after the paper is passed be-' tween shafts S and s, and from guide-roller 44 the paper is run to and over a guide-roller 45, from whence it runs to a winding-cylinder R on the shaft C, referred to in the first part of this description. are j ournaled in the frames K. As the paper passes from guide-roller 44 to 45 it is engaged by a series of rotary cutters WV and X. The cutters X comprise a disk the circumference of which is suitably sharpened and which is adjusted longitudinally upon and secured to the shaft by means of a suitable set-screw. The cutters IV are constructed substantially the same as cutters X and are adjusted longitudinally upon and secured'to the shaft to, which latter is journaled in the ends of corresponding arms r, secured to a shaft y, the ends of which latter are j ournaled in bearings in frame K. Shaft 10 is provided with a flexible joint 36 near one end, and-its opposite end is not jmu'haled, but is free, so that the cutters W thereon can bear heavily on cutters X. Shaft a; has a gear near one end thereof, which is engaged by and derives motion from the idle pinion Q, which meshes with and is actuated by gear 42, and the shaft to has a gear 11: near its journaled end, which is similar to and derives motion from gear 90.

There may be'one or several pairs of punches adjusted upon shafts S and s, so as to punch each copy of; printed matter at the point thereon desired either when one or several copies of the printed matter are printed side by side on the web of paper at the same time. In like manner there may be one or several pairs of the rotary cutters X and IV adjusted longitudinally on their respective shafts, so as to cut and separate said parallel copies apart.

In order to prevent the pieces of paper out from the web of paper by the revolving punches from falling and scattering over the parts of the machine below the same, I have provided an inclined chute Z, comprising one or more sheets of metal, the vertical side edges of which are flanged upward, which is supported by having its upper portion secured to the transverse rod 46, connecting the frames K K, so that the lower end thereof discharges into a box 47. If desired, I can use an apron 48 in conjunction with chute Z. Int-his event apron 48 would comprise one or the female counterpart once every revolution 1 more single plates of sheet metal and have thereof, substantially as shown in the drawits upper portion securedin suitable manner 65 ings. Near the end of shaft S adjacent to gear l to the side frames A A.

These rollers 43, 44, and 45.

T he. webof paper wound upon the cylinder R musthave provision for its removal. I accomplish this bysecuring the windingcylin- 'der R between the heads It, which is suitably secured to shaft C. One end of shaft C,

1 which extends through its hearings in frame A, is screw-threzided and provided with a hand-wheel on its end, and this screw-threacL edportion extends through the tapped opening'ina standard R which rests upon and is supported-by a bracket R projecting from said side frame A. By manipulating the 1 hand-wheel shaft C canv be moved longitudings of the shafts 21 corresponding arms 49 and 50, which project connecting-rod 52. Thus when one of said vnally and its opposite end disengaged and withdrawn longitudinally fromthe boss of the clutch counterpart C, and then bv re- -n1oving the pins shaft C can be rolled out of its open bearings in the main frames A and A. and the paper-rollon itscylinder be bodily removed and'a new cylinder placed back .tlponlthe shaft and said shaft put back in its bearings again and connected with the clutch.

This I accomplishbyextending the-eccentricpins, which pass under the adjustable bearand 0, and secure to them upward at a suitable angle and have heads 51 51 pivoted thereto, which are connected by a arms 50 or 49 is .moved the eccentric-pins under both bearings are similarlymoved to effect the adjustment of the type-cvlinder (I and numbering-head shafts relatively to the circumference of the impression-rollen At the opposite end of these shafts (Z and 0 I prefer to apply a brake to regulate and make the m0v em-'ent of the revolution of said shafts continuous and even.

T heseibraking devices comprise a disk 53, keyed to the extension of sald sl1afts.'wh1ch are surrounded by a band 54, the ends of which latter are secured to -end places 55 and56, the extremities of which extend laterally outwardparallel to each other and are united by the bolt of nut 57.. One of these extremities ictends farther than the other and. is adapted to comein contact. with a pin .58. projecting laterally from frames I- and J, which hold said braking device stationary while the type-cylinder and numbering device are' printing: but when the said type-cyl nder and numbering i device are moved in the reverse directionthese braking devices would move with the shafts thereof. The shaft of the tintingcylinder carried by frame, H is provided with a similar brake 59 on, theend thereof, extendlng through its bearings. I j

hen it is desired to remove .the adjustable bearings of the shafts on which the tinting-rollr, the type-cylinder, and" the numberlng device are SGCUIQd :from the framesH,
