To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GUsTAF E. WALLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pocatello, in the county of Bannock' and State of Idaho, have invented new and useful Improvements in Linotvpe-Slug Receivslugs, as is now frequently the case, for the purpose of making sure of the last word or matter set in a certain line, or in order to ascertain if the justifications are correct.

Further 'objectsof the invention arev to simplify and improve the construction and operation of this class of devices.

'ith these and other ends in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and par-A ticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferred form of the invention; it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited,

but that changes, alterations and modica tionsiwithin the scope of the invention may be resorted to when desired.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the slug receiving chute and related parts. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same as seen from the opposite side. Fig. R is a front view of the slug receiving chute and the galley support. F ig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 4 4 in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a perspective detail view showing one end of the "operating lever. Fig. 6 is a sectional eleyation of the upper portion of the slug chute with the near guide llange removed.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by like characters of reference.

The slug chute includes a base or bottom j member l, which is adapted to be securely connected with the frame of a linotype machine, not shown, in a suitable position adjacent to the slot through which theslug is ejected. Said bottom member consists of a plate or bar, bent at an obtuse angle and including the' approximately horizontal head piece 2 which is transversely apertured as shown at 3 furthe passage of :fastening menibers whereby it is tobe mounted in position. In the upper side of the bottom member, at

the angle bet. een the head piece 2 and the*- inclined portion 4 is journaled a guide roller 5, said guide roller being accommodated in a recess 6 so that the said roller will project but slightly above` the upper surface of the bottom member.

Secured upon the sides of the inclined portion 4 of the bottom member, adjacent to the upper end of said inclined portion, are guide flanges 7 and 8, provided at their upper ends with upward extensions disposed brackets 7-8 one of which is provided with a slot 9 wherein a set screw l() is vertically adustable; said set screw carrying a pivoted lug the brackets 7 and 8 in the path of the slugs that are being ejected from the machine, said lug being provided with a covering of leather or other suitable material as shown at 12, in order to avoid injury to the faces of the slugs. The pivoted or gravitating lug 11 forming vertically is so adjusted as to lie in the path of the upper end of the slug,

guide roller 5, to tilt the slug adjacent to the receiving endof the chute,`

11 which is disposed between backward, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig.

6, so that the slug will fall face upward and slide in this face of the bottom member 4 of the chute.

The inclined portion 4 of the bottom member 1 is provided with laterally extending pins 13 supporting a slidable plate or member 14. which is forced outward from the bottom member 1 by means of suitably arranged springs one of which is shown at 15 in Fig. 4, coiled upon the pin 13, the member 14 has an outward extending lla-nge 16 which-normally lies in alinenient with and constitutes an extension of the guide flange S, said iange 16 being disposed adjacent to the upper face of the inclined portion of the bottom mem- `bottoni member as indicated in dotted lines position over the inclined upper in Fig. 4. The plate or member 14 has a laterally extending arm 17 provided with a slot 18 through which extends the handle portion,

19 oi a lever which is fulcrumed at 20 upon the side of the bottom member 1. The lever member 19 is connected through its fulcrum pin 21 with a crank arm 22, plainly seen in Pivotally mounted at 2,3 upon the side of the bottom member 1 opposite to the lever 19 is an arm 24 carrying a thin rule or ange member 25 which normally extends upward adjacent to the side of the bottom member to constitute an extension of the guide ilange l5 7` The arm 23 has a downward extending crank 26 which lies adjacent to and in the path of the crank 22 connected with the lever 19, and a spring 27 connects the arm 96 with the underside of the bottom memberl so asv 0 to hold the arm 24 and iiange 25 'normally in the position indicated in full lines in Fig. 2, further movement in an upward direction of the arm 24 and related parts being obstructed by a pin 0r step member 28. j

25' A galley support is provided, comprising a suitable frame 29 which is supported adjaf cent to the slug receiving chute, and which Ais provided with adjustable holding members 3U and clamping members 31 Iwhereby a gal- 30 ley ol' the desired dimensions may be supported in slug receiving positipn-adjacent to the chute.

The lever 19 may be mechanically operated by means ol" an arm or bar 32 which is cony35 nected with a bracket 33 adapted to be pivotally supported in such a position as to en able-one end of the arm 32 .to be suitably connected with a live or moving part of the. linotype machine with which the slug receiver is connected in such a manner as to be eperated at the proper times to actuate the lever 19 vwhich latter is disposed in' the path of the upper arm 32 so as to be subject to lateral pressure from the latter. The precise manner of 'connecting the parts with the linotype machine may be varied within the scope of the invention.

' The operation and advantages of this invention will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, by those skilled in the art to which it appertains. As

the slug which is shown at 35 1s ejected from the machine it passes over-the guide roller 5 beneath the gravity lug 11, which latter is adjustable to slugs of varying lengths, and

it is tilted by contact with said lug so as to slide, face uppermost, in a downward direce tion .over the inclined portion 4 of the bottom member 1 which constitutesl the bottom of the chute until it is arrested by an upstanding ortion or stop member 36 at the lower en of the chute. y

is actuated, either mechanically or by the "hand of thev operator, it moves' laterallv When the lever 19,

through the slot 18 of the arm 17, and the crank 22 connected with said lever will engage the crank 26 of the arm 24, thus tilting the latter against the tension of the spring 27 until the rule or fiange 25 is depressed to the 70' position shown in dotted lines in FigZ/l" Continued movement'of the lever 19 will operate to force the plate 14' laterally against the tension of the springs 15, thus pushing the slug, by means of the upstanding flange 16, from the bottom memberof the chute, over the depressed rule 25, and into a galley, not shown, which is supported in receiving position upon the frame 29 adjacent to the chute. The springs 15 and 27 serve to re- S0 store the box to normal or initial .position when pressure upon the lever 19 is relaxed.`

j By this device, the slugs, as they are delivered or ejected from the machine, will be properly delivered into the galley in a position where their faces will bey plainly visible to the operator. As the slugs accumulate in thegalley, they may be removed by an attendant.

It is obvious that each operation of the lever 19 will'cause the slugs contained in the galley to be displaced longitudinally in the galley t0 make room for the last slug'; it is alsol evident that any portion of the slugs contained in the galley may be removed at any time without disturbing the remainder,

Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as -new is :e-
