The holders E each have'the pocket e for the type c, which latter are held in place by screws e Longitudinal lugs e extend from the sides of the type-holders E and plates C. To the lower ends ofthe ty eholders E are journaled the rollers e. he type-holders E are similar in construction to the holders E and have journaled thereto the rollers E The drum B has the fixed head B, and the removable head B the latter being secured in place by the bolts B". Journal-sleeves B B extend from the said heads, which are 'ciu'ried and rotate on the shaft F. A pulley F is carried on the sleeve B and the shaft F is held stationary in the supports F by set-screws F which prevent the shaft turning.

On the shaft F is supported the grooved drum F with the grooves ff, in which are engaged the rollers e and E of the movable type-holders. On the shaft F are fastened the spur-gears G, that mesh with the pinions G, carried on shaftGF, supported in the jourl-boxes G On the ends of the shaft G are fastened the cranks H, to which are journaled the links ll, the latter being connected To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, JOSEPH BROOME, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

's invention relates to-m cans for print bjects, pencils, Its organization comprises a nting and marking cylindrical and the like with oneor more and the like.

ad acent to said It consists, essentially, to whic are attached st proper position to the machine so as to be pinched between the drunrand said support, and ink-rolle's, with their appurtenances, to ink the type supported on the rotating drum. igure 1 represents a side elevation of the invention.

The machine shown in the drawings, which exemplifi v drum 7 openin its cylindrical surface on each side of the ribs b. Cover-plates C are held in p sition on the cylindrical surface of the drum by means of screws 0 and contain the grooves C and the curved flanges C the ribs 6 are fastened the stationary typeholders D by means of the screws (2, and on each side of the holders D are located the movable typerholders E E. e stationary type-holders D contain the pockets d for the are the brackets A, w Iich support the journahbrackets I for the shaft P. e arms of the bell-cranks I enter the r0ll-holders J and have each a slot J, through which passes a pin J secured in the said holders. The latter have the forked ends J for the ends of the roller-shaft K, which carries the rollers K, that roll on the flanges B of the drum and the inking-rollers K K K. s ring J bears between outer end of each of t 1e holders J and the collar i of the arm 1? of each bell-crank I.

djacent to the shaft G is journaled the shaft L, which carries the bevel-gears L, that mesh with the bevel-gears L Bearings M' and M extend from the frame tosupport the said ears in proper position. The bevelgears L ave secured thereto the spindles N, that-carry the revolving disks N. Attached to the frame A are the brackets O, that carry the guides O. v Extending from the frame A is the hollow engage in the grooves C of the cover- IOO guide-box P, in which fits the movable support Q. The box P has the internallythreaded sleeves P, into which are screwed the guides P, that have the hexagonal ends P The movable support Q, carries the removable bearing-plate Q with the facing Q,

Which latter is generally of rubber and corruf Ia-rged openings for the shaft R. Extending from the box P are the brackets S, to'which are bolted the bearings S on one end. On the outer ends of the brackets are supported the adjustable bearings S The bearings S carry the shaft 5, on which is fastened the driving sprocket-wheel S and the adjustable bearings S carr the shaft 8 with the drum, S. Sprocket-c ains T are carried on the wheels S and drum S. From the said chains extend the pins t, which carry the buckets t, that constitute a conveyer. Over the conveyer'is supported a hopper T by means of brackets T that are bolted to the hopper and the'brackets S. On the shaft S is supported the notched wheel V, that meshes with the lugs V of the wheel V There are four of the lugs Vthat is, one for each set of t peholders--and the notches on i the wheel 2 are such that the conveyer is moved the distance of one bucket each time a lug V engages with a notch of the wheel V. On the bearing B is supported an eccentric B, which carriw an arm B, the bent end of which engageswith a ratchetwheel'B on the end of the shaft L. v

To operate the invention, the objects, like...

pcncils,are placed in the hopper T from which they are taken by the conveyer with the buckets t and conveyed to the bearing-plate Q of the movable support Q, on which they are held in proper position parallel to the axis of the drum B by means of the fingers R. When the said drum revolves, the pencils are pinched between the bearing-plate Q and the curved flanges C extending from the cover-plates C. Upon the further movement of the drum the pencils are turned and rolled down the said bearing-plate, while the type in the t e-holde-rs are printing on their surfaces. T e fingers R are pushed out of the way as the pencil rolls down the bearingplate, and the pencils after having been printed roll ofi of the said support. While the encil is being printed the movable typehol ers E and E are held next adjacent to and f have diverged and again become par-- allel, but at a greater distance apart, thereby carryin the rollers e and E apart, and con.-

movin the movable sequent y sliding or bring t em out of line type-holders so as to and distant from each other. type-holders are out of line, the type in the stationary and movable type-holders can be inked independently of each other without danger of an ink-roller intended for the type in one holder inkingthe type of one of t e other holders. Also when the type-holders are out of line the ink-rollers throu h their connections have rolled from the dis s N to the type in the type-holders, inking them with the necessary ink. The uides O support the rollers when the in lnrollers leave the disks N and before they ink the type in the type-holders. By these movements 0 the type-holders different colors of ink can be used on the different Four sets of type-holders with type are shown and disks for three difierentcolors. It is evident that more or less sets of type-holders could be located in the rotating drumand holders could be made movable. While the drum is rotating the disks N are being turned by virtue of the hook end of the arm B engaging with the ratchet-wheel L.
