` PATENTED 111111.14, 1906.
P., T. DODGE. LINO'IYPE` MACHINE. APPILIOATION FILED 11m44.190s.
' To all. whom, may concern.: y
Be it known that I, PHILIP T. DODGE, of
.UNIT-Fi) y sTArFs FATFNr OFFIOF.;
ruimer. DODGE, oF NEWIYORK, N. Y., AssieNoR ro MEi'ieFNTHALEn L INO'LYPE COMPANY, A CORPORATION oF NEW YORK. f
LINOTYPE-MAGHINE.
. Brooklyn, New York city, county of Kings,
- and State ofN ew York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in. Linotype-Ma? chines, of whichthe following.- is aspecifica-` tion.
My inventionrelates to magazines for.lino typemachines-which hold inreserve the oirculatlng matrices, more. particularly mat-y rices havin ears at their ends,ras represented in Letters atent of the United States No.
436,531; Aand the. object of the invention is more particularly to produce magazines. of limited height which will carry a large num# ber lof matrices.
The usual magazines as ordinarily constructed and used in commercial linotypes of 4 rows, the two ears on one side of eh matrix' the present day lconsist of parallel plates grooved longitudinally in theirinner op osing faces to receive and guidethe-ears ofthe matrices, whichlatter vstandend to end in being seated in the same groove or channel,
My improved magazine is constructed 'with channels arranged in pairs side by side, so that the. ear at the lower end of the matrix will ride in 'one channel and the ear at the opposite end will ride in the adjacent channel,
rices will stand vertically, or practically so, in
order to facilitate their delivery or discharge into the assembling mechanism,
IReferring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewofa matrix such as those used in my magazine. Fig. 2
is a longitudinal section through a magazine ,and the entrance thereto constructed on my plan. Figs. 3, 4,. and 5 are cross-sections on the correspondingly-numbered lines in Fig. 2. 'Referring to the drawings, 'A'represents the magazine consisting of parallel plates c a,
secured'to intermediate spacing-pleces a or OtherwiseA connected to maintain their rela` tions. These plates are provided in their inner or proximate faces with lon 'tudinal parallel channels .or grooves a2 an 0.3, arranged in pairs, those of one plate corresponding to those of the opposite plate. A
y l Specicatioii of Letters Patent.
The matrices B consist, asfs'li ovvn, r )lflflat l Patented Aug. 14,` 1906. "f Applications@ Apri114.1eoe. seriai'iasimzi. 4
plates having matrix characters b in one Aedge f .Y and also having on each."edge at 'oppositeends the two longitudinaf'ears or lips b" and These ears are commonly vof a thicknessless than 'thatof thei bddy of the matrix.` The grooves 'are made of such width andarranged in such relation that each matrix entering thegupper end. of the magazine may have its lower ears guidedinthe groove a2 and its .upper ears guided ,iny the adjacent groove c3, so that as the matrices bearing anyj given character enter thepair of rooves de-- voted tov4 that character they escend by gravity and .seat themselves side by side 1n overlapped positions,- as shown in the, drawlngs. The grooves arepreferably 'widened or fiared, asshown in the drawings, to facilitate' the entrance of the matrices. Inthis clasfsgof machines the composed linelsof matrices afteij use lv1n the casting mechanism are delivered through a distributing mechanism to the upgper ends ofthe magazines, this distributing mechanism releasing each matrix directly over` its appropriate channel in 'the magazine. Forthe purpose of properly guiding the.mat `l rices into my. magazine after their release by j the distributer Iprovide above the magazine. a throat or entrance' C, consisting of parallel plates grooved in their, inner faces to guide the matrices and direct them intol the upper ends of the magazine-channels.` This throat has its channels wide at the upper end in order that the matrices may enter freely, .there being but one channel in the entrance for each pair of channels in the magazine. 'l
.Each of the entrance channels -or grooves vis reduced gradually in .width toward one side, as shownrat c', this reduced portion bemg just sufficient to permit the free passage of the ears of the descending matrices. This oint distant fro ength of a matri vAs each matrix descends v reduced portion is continued downward to a the magazine less than the its ears ride intothecontracted portion of the groove or channeL-'so that the matrix is held ICO to the right', causin its lower ears toienter thel channel d2 before t e upper ears escape from lthe contracted guide above.
*into the flaring mouth of the magazine-channel a2 the upper ears 'of the matrix escape from the contracted groove c', and the ma- As soon-as the vlower end-of the m'atrix has fairly entered trix immediately tips or cants'tc the left, so
` that as its descent is continued its upper ears will pass into the adjacent channel a3.
It will be observed that the grooves or channels of the magazine have a lateral inclination-that is to say, an inclination sidewise in relation to the matrices-and that therevis a similar inclination of the channels in the throat or entrance C. This inclination insures the travel of the matrices in the proper course and the passage of their ears into the dilierent grooves.
The release of the matrices from the magazine one at a time may be effected by any suitable mechanism. ,Good results may be obtained by the employment of the device, shown lin the drawings, consisting of a dog or escapement D, mounted to turn aroundA a horizontalpivot d, connected by arod d with the keyboard mechanism. This dog being lquickly oscillated will release the lowest matrix, permit its escape, and return to its original' position in time to arrest the succeeding matrix.
It is to be noted that'that portionof the magazine-plate which lies between the two grooves or channels of the pair forms, in effect, a projection which enters. between the two ears of the matrices.l In other words, the matrix embraces or straddles the projectiig portion between its ears. It is manifest that the distance between the grooves andthe width of the grooves may be modified at will, so that the assembled matrices resting side by side may depart more or less from the vertical position.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In a linotype-machine, matrices having ears at their ends in combination with a magazine having channels arranged in pairs to receive,the respective matrix-ears.
2. A channeled magazine in combination with matrices having ears at their ends, the ears` at opposite ends arranged to enter different channels.
3. A magazine having channels in pairs in combination with matrices having at one end ears to enter one of the channels and at the opposite end ears to enter the other channel.
4. A channeled magazine in combination with matrices having ears at their opposite ends and seated in different channels, whereby the storage of permitted.` v
' 5. A channeled magazine'in combination with matrices each having ears at opposite ends, and means 'forguiding therespective ears in different channels.
6. The magazme havlng the lnclmed chan. nels arranged 1n pairs, in combination with `matrices having ears adapted to enter the two channels, whereby the matrices may be maintained side to side in upright position.
7. In combination with the magazine having channels arranged in pairs, as described, to receive ears at opposite ends of the matrices,` .the throat or entrance C, having entrance-channels reduced in width, as shown at c.
8. In combination with the magazine having the channels arranged in pairs, the throat or entrance C, having above each pair of magazine-channels a single entrance-channel reduced in width, as shown at c', and widened belo'w the reduced portion, as shown. In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand, this 3d day of April, 1906, in the presence of two attesting witnesses.
