To all who'lit it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, Joseph S. DUNCAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Type-Setting Machines,- of which the following is a specification.

1 The primary object of this invention is to provide a machine adapted to be easily and rapidly operated to take types from a supply and set them in a suitable holder. The-invention has relation more particularly to a nachine for setting rubber type in the holder at the ends the lines to hold the type solidly together and iniixed upright position in the type-grooves.

The invention has other objects in view which will be fully disclosed in the detailed description of one embodimentmf the ma chine which I have'chosen as illustrativeof the invention.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view, partly broken away. Fig. 2i a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. F g.

.3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Figs. 4; and 5 are sectional views correspond ing, substantially, to Fig. 2 and showing the setter in two positions. Fig. -6.is a detail view of a portion of the carriage, artly in section, with the holderand holder- 'rame removed. Fig. 7 is a sectional view on' the line 7 7 of Fig. 6. Figs. 8 and 9 are plan views showin the devices forv adjusting the typeholder irame in two positions. Figs. 10 and 11 are sectional views showing the slug-pluggcr devices in the two positions. Fig. 12 is a detail sectional view of the slug-plugger.

' Fig. 13 is a detail sectional view on the line 13 13 of Fig. 11.

The inadhine comprises a frame which in the drawings 1s shown. to cons st of the sides 1, connected together by the bed or plate 2, I

the grooved bar 3, the front bar 4, and the 1 When the key is depressed, the ink 27 pulls.

angle, as shown in 1g.2, and the type 6 are arranged in the channels 7 on the bed. These channels may be formed in the bed itself, or they oan be formed by bending metal sheets into pro er shape to receive the type, and I preferab y arrange across the channels an indcx-plate-8, bearing characters corresponding to those 011 the t pe.

The machine i lustrated in the drawings is designed especially for setting rubber iype in a holder 9, Fig. 1, which is provided with three type-grooves 10, and this holder is carried by a frame which is adjustably mounted on a carriage adapted to be moved back and rod 5. The bed is referably pitched at an forth to register the holder-groove, in which i type are being set, with the different channels.

The carriage comprises a frame 11 with grooved rollers 12 to travel on the rod 5 and a roller 13 to travelin-a guidewa'y or track 14 in the plate 3, Figs. 1, 2. A setter-arm 15 is ivotally connected at itslower end to a lin 116, which is pivoted to the carriageframe at 18, and a spring 19 is fastened at 20 to said arm and to a lug 21 on thecarriageposition illustrated in Fig. 2. The setterarni carries at its upper end a blade 22, which is adapted. to enter between the first and sec- 0nd type in a channel and move the first type, in a manner hereinafter described, from its channelinto a groove in the holder 9.

The typesetter comprising the arm and blade is operated by depressing a key 23 on the lever 24, which is pivoted at 25 to a rearward extension 26 of the carriage-frame and is connected by a link 27 to an arm 28, pivoted at 29 on the carria e-frame, Figs. 2, 7. The arm 28 carries a rol er 30, which Works lll'BrSOCkGl] 31 in an arm 32, pivoted at 33 on the setter-arm, and this arm 32 has a finger frame to hold the setters-Tin normally in the 34, which projects forward above the pivot toward the pivot 29. A flat spring 35 bears on the finger 34 and holds the arm 32 in operative position. The

arms

28 and 32 operate like a toggle, the'one being pivoted. to the carriage-fra1ne at 29 and the other being pivoted to the setter-arm at 33, and in their normal positiontheyextend at an angle to each other, as shown in Fi s2 and 7.

the arm 28 down and theroller 3O working in the socket 31 (the spring 35 constantly pressing on the finger 34) moves the arm 32 and the setterrarm laterally to'tlie 'osition shown in Fig. 4. At this time the s oulder 36 on the setter has been carried from the position shown in Fi 2 under and in engagement with the hoo ed end of an arm 37 on the key-lever, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and on the further depression of the key the setter is moved downward through the medium of the arm 37 from the position shown in Fig. 4 to the position shown in Fig. 5, and the ty e is thereby carried from the channel into the holder. The spring 19 returnsthe parts to theirnormal position, Fig, 2, when the key is released, a stop 81 on the carriage limitingv the u ward movement of the setter-arm. The epression of. the key is a continuous movement and not interrupted, and during such depression the blade of the setter is caused to move in two directions at rightam glesto each other, first laterally into the'typechannel and then downward lengthwise of the channel.

A- plate 42, fast to a projection 38' on the setter-arm, is provided with alug 39, which. isarranged to engage and slide down on .the upper face of a guide-lug. on the carriageframe-,.Figs. 6, 7, when the setter is moving from the position shown in Fig. 2 to the position shownin' Fig. 4. When the setter arm is moving; downward from the position shown in Fig; 4 to the position. shown in Fig. 5, the lug 39 movesdownward behind the guide-lug I 40, and whenthe spring 19v returns the setter-arm to, its normal position the upper edge' of the: lug 39 slides up over the inclined lower face of the lug 40 and up in front of said lug to the'position shown in Fig, 6. The setterarm is therefore guided in its movements by f the'l- 39 traveling in engagement-with the guide ug 40, and this insures the correct movements'of the several parts.

The type in each channel are nor me ly held inplace in the channelby a springarm -41,

' end ofthe channel Figs. 2, 5; but when the which isfastened at one end to: the bed and has its other end arranged to close the lower setter-blade moves into the channel, Fig. 4,

' theyupper end of plate 42, which may be formed into-a.-figure 42, engages. an arm 43 on thespring 41 and moves the spring away from the channel-,as shown in Fig. 4, so as notto obstruct the movement. of .the type when the setter-blade carries the type into the holder.

To: prevent thesecond and following type in the channel from sliding out of a channelv behind the setter-blade when the latter moves thefi'xisttype into the holder, I. provide the .carriagewith a spring-arm 80, which is. en-

gagedby the arm 15 and pressed against one or more of the type back of the first type-at the time that the setter-blade enters the channel, Fig. 4. The arm 80 thus holds the second and following type in position in the channel until the setter-arm has carried the first type down into the holder, and at or about this time the plate 42 is released from engagement with arm 43 and the spring 41 returns to its position against the discharge lock the carriage in place during the setting operation and until the key-lever is withdrawn from between the teeth by the spring 19.

The holder is clamped in rigid position against the lugs 45, Fig. 8, on the holder frame 46 by the lever 47, Fig. 1, and this frame is mounted to be adjusted laterally on the guide-rods 48 on the carriage-frame. The holder-frame illustrated is constructed to re ceive a holder with three type-grooves, as shown, and a spring 49, Figs. 8, 9, is arranged to pull the holder from its initial position at the left to its final position at the right 01- the carriage-frame. After the holder has been secured in place in the holder-frame the frame is moved to the extreme left and the dog 50, carried by the lever 51, pivoted to the car riage-frame at 52, will enter the middle groove in the holderto hold the frame against the tension of the spring 49 with. the first groove of the holder in alinement with the setter blade. When it is desired to start a new line of type, the lever 51 is depressed to withdraw the dog 50 from the type-groove, and at the same time a dog 53, carried by a lever5-4, pivoted at on the carriage-frame,

iscaused to engage the holder by the pin 56' bearing on said'lever 54 to limit the movement of the'holder-f'rame under the influence of spring 49. Then the pressure on lever 51 is released and the spring 57 will swing the lever 54 to carry dog 53 out of engagement with the holder, and as lever 54 engages pin 56 and swings lever 51 the dog 50 will be carried down into the next groove of the holder, or if type are to be set in the-last oove of the holder the dog 50 will engage a ug 58 on the carriage-frame. In Fig. 3 the holder is shown in position for receiving type in the middle groove, and Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate two steps in the feeding operation of the holder-frame to carry the holder from the position shown .in Fig. 3 to position, Fig. 9, for

required at one or both ends of each line of 31 aces type, and these slugs are somewhat larger in diameter than .the type-groove, so that they will be held securely in fixed position in. the" machine I provide a frame 60, Fig. 1-, which comprises the guide-rods 61 61; The slugsetter is mounted to travel on these rods 61 61 in a directi-onsubstantially at right angles to the direction of. travel of the carriage 11. This slug-setter comprises a carriage 62, on which is mounted a slug-channel 63, substantially like the type-channel 7. A pusher 641 is arranged in this channel and connected to a coil-spring 65, mounted on a fixed stud 66 on the carriage 62, the object of the pusher being to constantly ush the slugs in the channel toward the ront end. thereof with the first slug beneath the driver. The slug driver 67, Figs'IO to 12,'is connected. by a pin 68 with a lever 69 which is pivoted to a sleeve 7 O on the rod-61,'and this driver isarranged to o crate within a housing 71 and is normal y held in elevated position by a spring 72. The slug-setter carriage 62 is pivotally mounted on the rods 61 and at its outer end. is provided with upturned lugs 7 3, which are grooved to receive the rod 61, and a spring 74, connected to the outer end of the carriage 62 and to 9. lu 75 on the sleeve 7 O. holds the outer end of tile carriage normally up in engagement with the rod 61, as shown in Fig.

10. The forward end of the slu -channel 63 is closed, Fig. 13, and the channe is provided on its bottom at said end with afunnel-shaped or contracted dischar eopening, throughwhich the first slug is orced by the driver into a groove in the holder. When it is de- .s'ired to insert a slug in one of the typegrooves, the-holder-carria e is moved to the extreme right until the re ler 12 engages the side of the machine, and then the slug-setter carriage is moved (from its normal position, Fig. 2) on the rods 61 61 until the discharge of. the slu -channel is located directly opposite the place in the type-groove which the slug is to occupy, Fig-10. The discharge of the type-channelconstitutes, in effect, the end of the channel, although it is at right anles to the channel, and it is formed bytwo inclined short sides 76, which are adapted to rest upon the side walls of the tylpergroove when the slug is being driven. into t e groove, Fig. 13, and twov long sides 77, which. enter the type-groove, Fig. 12-, these four sides being contracted at their outer edges to such an extent that the slugs will be compressed while being driven therethrough into the type groove In this way I provide for easily *and quickly setting a slug of. larger size than the tv 'e and larger in diameter than the width o the type-groove in proper position in the type-groove. The slug is sufficiently compressed in passing through the tit discharge of the slug channel to permit of its slipping easily into place in the type-groove, and it then expands and is secured in. fixed position in the type-groove by frictional engageinent with the side walls thereof to hold. the slug rigidly in place and prevent them from spreading or moving in the type-groove. After the discharge of the slug-channel has been arranged in proper relation to the typegroove the lever 69 is depressed, and the tie entire slng-setter carriage will be depressed from the position shown in Fig. 10 to the position shown. in. Fig. 11 until the discharge end of the slugehannel rests against the holder, as shown in Fig. 13. The slugsetter carriage having thus reached the limit spring 74 being weaker than. the spring 72 of its moven'ient, continued pressure on. thelever 69 will operate the driver 67 to force the slug at the end of the slug-channel intothe typegroove. When the pressure on the le. ver 69 is released, the springs 7 2 and 74 will return the parts to their normal position. It will be observed that the slug can be set in any desired osition in the type-groove, be-

cause the ho (ler-carriage is adjusted to bring the groove in alinement with the discharge of theslug-channel, and'the slug-setter carriage -is adjusted to move said discharge -to any )0 sition lengthwise of the type-groove. he pusher always keeps the first slug in the channel in proper position beneath the driver, so that it is only required to position the discharge and then operate the driver to set the slug in the ty e-groove.

The genera operation of the machine will be readily understood from the foregoing detailed description of the construction and ar-- rangement of the several parts and groups of mechanism. A holder of suitable construction, and I do not restrict myself to any particular kind, is clamped in place in the holderframe and the latter is mo ved to the extreme left, so that the first type-groove will aline with the setter-blade, the dog 50 entering the second type-groove and holding the frame in fixed osition. The holder-carriage is then move by means of the key 23 until the setter-blade is above the channel containing the typewhich it is desired to set into the groove, and thereupon the keylever is depressed into the socket between the teeth 44, which locks the carriage in oroper relation to said" type-channel. Atora out the same time that the carria e is looked, as just stated, the settor-blade egins its movement to enter the type-channel between the first and second type thereof and to move the first type from the channel into the type-groove.

7 At or about the same time the setter-blade enters the type-channel the spring-arm 41, which holds the type normally in position in the channel, is depressed, so that the settenblade can immediately movethe type into the typegroove of the holder. This operation. 18 re- Ioc peated until the line of type is completed, and then slugs can be inserted at one or both ends of the line of type, as may be desired. This is accomplished by moving. the carriageframe to the extreme right to carry the typegroove into alinement with the slug-driver and then adjusting the slug-driver carriage until the slug-discharge is properly positioned relative to the type-groove and the place the slug is to occupy. Then the lever 69 is depressed and the slug is driven into place in the typegroove. It will be observed that when the holder-carriage is moved to the extreme right for the slug-setting operation the type-groove in which the type has just been set, whether it be the first, second, or third groove, will be properly alined with the slug-discharge, because the holder isadjusted with relation to the fixed setter-blade and the latter bears a fixed relation to the carriage, so that when the roller 12 engages the right side of the machine-frame whichever groove is in 'alinement .with the setterblade will be properly positioned beneath the slug-discharge.

The machine which I have illustrated and described as one embodiment of the invention is designed for setting up addresses with rubber type 'in holders for addressing-machines; but it will be readily understood that the invention is not in any respect confined to the particular kind of type or holder or to the subject-matter of the form which is set up. The operation of the machine is very simple, as the operator is only required to set up a type in a type-groove, to move the holder-carriage until the setter-blade is in proper operative relation to the type chan nel containing the type which it is desired to set up, and then operate the key. The depression of the key locks the carriage and operates the setter and a spring returns the parts to their normal position.

' I do not restrict the invention to the particular construction and arrangement of parts herein shown and described, but reserve the right to make all such changes in the form, construction, and proportion of parts which fairly come within the spirit and scope of the invention. The type-channels may be of any suitable character for holding type and the setter-blade may be any suitable device adapted to enter between two type and move one or more as desired from the channel into the holder. The holder is carried close to the discharge end of the type-channels, so that the type may readily slide from a channel into a type-groove.

I prefer to employ a settenblade 2-2, so

that it will readily enter between two type,

and this blade is formed on or attached to an arm 22, which is adjustably secured on the arm 15. The key-lever forms a handle for the carriage, by means of which it can be moved back and forth, and the operator is thus required to operatea single lever for ad justing the carriage and operating the setting .and means for locking the key-lever and through the key-lever locking the carriage during the setting operation.
