MACHINE FOR MAKING TYPES .AND TYPE-BARS.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS H. RICHARDS,

Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Types and Type-Bars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to mechanism for forming impressions upon sheet material and is particularly adapted for use in the typographic art in the production of type-bars from sheet material.

The machine embodying the present improvements will comprise dies or molds for acting upon one side of the material under treatment and complementary dies or punches for coperative action upon the other side of the material; carriers will be provided for `the molds and ramming punches together with mechanism for bringing the selected die and its associated punch to the working point together with mechanism for imparting working movements to each of said members.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure l is an end view of a practicable embodiment of a form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof.` Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. t is an end elevation of a modification, and Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of a blank being acted upon by a die and counterpart rammer.

A sliding work-holder 3 is illustrated herein, which is shown provided with clamping means, herein shown as a gib 3, and thumb-screws 3', 3', by which an angle bar B, may be secured in the holder. Gribs g', g, secured to the base A, by screws, serve to retain the holder 3, in a groove g, formed in the base A. A screw-threaded nut 3', fixed on the holder 3, projects downward through a slot in the base A, and engage a feed member herein shown as a screwthreaded shaft 4, which is journaled in suitable bearings secured to the base A, and may be rotated by means of a crank 5, attached to said feed-member. The crank-handle 5', embodies in the present showing a spring pressed bolt having a conical point 5, which engages in a recess formed in the baseA, and thus prevents the crank 5, from being accidentally moved. The pitch of the thread e of the feed-screw 4:, will purposely bear a Specification of Letters Patent.

definite relation to a linear unit of type measurement; as, for instance, to a point, technically so-called; and the several types formable by the machine, will, in their respective transverse dimension lengthwise of a line of said types respectively equal multiples of said unit.

The term type, as used herein, is intended to apply to the printing face of an impression device, and to also include in the transverse dimensions thereof due proportions of the spaces between said face and the adjacent faces in a line of types, and of the spaces between said faces and the faces in adjacent lines of so-called solid matter. Therefore, the elements mentioned may be so definitely proportioned one to the other that by means of the feed-screw 4, a bar B, may be definitely and accurately moved to receive consecutive and properly spaced impressions from the impressing members herein shown as dies l, l.

Journaled in a bracket a, which is shown integral with the base A, is shown a rotatable shaft 24, which is utilized as a pivot for a rocking-frame 6. Journaled in said rocking-frame is shown a rotatable shaft 7, on which is mounted a mold-holder, herein termed a die-carrier, rotatable with the shaft 7, and shown as a disk 8, with radiating intaglio or molding dies l, l, rigidly mounted on its periphery. A lever 6, is fixed upon, and may be integral with the rocking-frame 6, and by means thereof the diecarrier 8, may be rocked transversely of the typebarholder 3. A stop-member which has an arm 6, is fixed upon a hub of the rocking-frame 6, and a fixed stop herein shown as a stud a, and a pivoted adjusting stop 27 are shown attached to the bracket a, and positioned to limit the movement of the stop-member 6, and thereby to limit the rocking movement of` the frame 6, and die-carrier 8. Mounted on the shaft 7 is also shown a spur gear-wheel 9, adapted to mesh with a curved rack or internally toothed gearsegment 10, the ends of which are pivoted, as at l0', l0', to permit the gearsegment l0, to be rocked transversely of the gear-wheel 9; an arm 10 being shown as fixed upon the gear-segment 10, for the purpose mentioned. A handle 1l, is attached to the arm l0, and embodies a spring-pressed bolt 11, the latter to engage endwise in either of two holes 11, (one only being shown,) which are formed in the base A, and severally adapted to receive the bolt end. The pitch of the gear-wheel 9, will preferably be an exact divisor of that of the die-carrier 8, the latter being considered as a toothed wheel on which the dies 1, 1, are supposed to occupy the positions of teeth. Assuming now that a die 1, be brought to the proper impressing position, and the spring-pressed bolt 11', be engaged as shown in the drawing, the` gear-wheel 9, will so engage the gear-segment 10, as to first precisionize, if necessary, the operative die, and thereafter to properly locate transversely of the typebar any type-formative movements ythat may be made by said die. The type-formative pressure that coacts with the working movements of the molding die to form types may be applied in gradations varying at each successive movement of said die; said gradations being properly adapted to cause the moldcavity of the die to gather, at each of said movements, such a portion of the typeformable material as it may, at the time, be capable of molding into a shape which is particularly adapted to forward the typeforming process. In the mechanism illustrated herein, a cam 12, is shown as a member which will be operated for the purpose mentioned.

A rotatable shaft 12, is shown journaled in bearings c, c, on the base A. A ratchetwheel 12, mounted upon and adapted to vrotate the shaft 12, is engaged by a springpressed pawl 13', which is pivoted on an arm 13, which will rock on the shaft 12. A link 14:, is also shown pivoted to the arm 13, and to the rocking-frame 6. rlhe cam 12, is mounted upon and rotates with the shaft 12. A vertical rotatable shaft 15, is shown, journaled in la bearing d, upon the base A. Mounted upon one end of the shaft 15, is shown a member herein termed a punchcarrier 1G, in the form of a disk which projects into the angle of a bar B, in the workholder 3, and the other end of said shaft abuts against the periphery of the cam 12". Mounted on and axially of the punch-carrier 16, are shown rammers or counterpunches 2, 2, which may be equal in number to the dies 1, 1, and be severally correlated to and adapted to coact with the mold-cavities of the respective dies to form types or other characters. For some purposes however, as, for instance, where the dies have similar moldcavities, a single rammingpunch may be used with a plurality of dies. Assuming vnow that a eorrelative rammingpunch has been suitably positioned (as hereinafter related,) to coact with an operative molding die in forming a type t, on the particular bar B, which may be in position in the typebar-holder, and that the lever 6, be operated for the purposebefore-mentioned; then, at each downward movement of the lever G, the pawl 13', will engage a tooth of the ratchet-wheel 12', and at each returning or upward movement of the lever 6, the pawl 13, will partly rotate the shaft 12, and cam 12. The periphery of the cam 12, being suitably formed for the purpose, the several partial rotations of the latter will cause it to move the shaft 15, punchcarrier 16, and ramming-punch 2, toward the operative die 1, and by means of the operative punch 2, to ram the interposed material of the bar B, into the particular type-forming member or die 2, which may then be operating on the bar B. This driving process will be accomplished intermittently, and at each step thereof each working movement of the die may cause the latter to gather in its mold-cavity such a portion of the type-formable material as it may, during the particular movements, be capable of molding, as before-mentioned. The cam 12, as shown, is of such a form that when it has been rotated until its longest radius has passed the axis of the shaft 15, it will permit the latter with the parts mounted thereon to be suddenly returned to their first positions; said return being effected in this instance by means of a helical spring 15', shown herein as encircling the shaft 15, and engaging at one end a member which is scoured to said shaft, and at the other end a boss d', which forms a part of the bearing d. The operating die will now be withdrawn from the formed type; the gear-segment 10, be unmeshed from the gear-wheel 9, and the die-carrier S, be rotated to bring another die 2, into position to form a type.

Journaled in bearings e, e, is shown a shaft 1T, which may be rotated by means of a crank 17, the handle of which embodies a spring-pressed indexing bolt 17, which engages in any of a number of holes 7", j', formed in a graduated index circle concentrically of the shaft 17, on a disk 71 which is carried by the base A. Slidably splined on the shaft 17, is shown a worm-threaded sleeve 1S, which is urged toward a stop-collar 18, by a helical spring 1S, which encircles the shaft and impinges against the sleeve 18, and against a boss which forms part of a bearing c. The worm-threadell sleeve 18, engages a worm-wheel 151, which is fixed upon and rotates the shaft 15.

In the boss CZ, is shown a guide-pin rl, which may engage in recesses 15, 15, which are formed in the shaft 15, and are equal in number to the lraninring- punches 2, 2, on the punch-carrier 16. The shaft 15, may be reduced in diameter as at 15m, near the hub of the punch-carrier 1h, sulir-.ieutly to let it rotate freely when the reduced portion 15, is on a plane with the guide-pin d. Assuming now that a` punch 2, be brought to a ramming position relative to the bar B, by rotating the punch-carrier 1G,

and that the latter, with the shaft l5, be moved toward the die-carrier 8; then, the guide-pin d", will enter a recess 15", and 'guide the shaft 15, in an axial direction, thereby directing t-he operative punch 2, toward the normal operative positions thereof. By my present invention, provision is made for permittingl the worm-threaded sleeve 18, to move axially of the shaft 17, in order to accommodate itself to any movement thereof which may be caused by the axial movement of the worm-wheel 19. In the organization shown herein, the spring 18", will yield suiiiciently to allow an axial movement of the threaded sleeve 18, when the latter is urged in said direction by an axial movement of the spiral teeth of the worm-wheel 19, engaging with the wormthread on said sle-eve. In the mechanism shown herein, a clockwise rotation ofW the cra-nk 17', will cause the sleeve 18, to be urged toward and against the collar 18', b the action of the parts mentioned. Should the crank 1,7', be rotated in the opposite direction, the spring 18", will retain the parts mentioned in contact with each other. Then the sleeve 18, abuts against the collar 18', rotation of the former will cause the rotation of the shaft 15, and of the members mounted thereon.

Provision is made by my present invention, for insuring the synchronous rotation of the die-carrier 8, and the punch-carrier 16. In the organization shown herein, there is mounted on the shaft 17, a crank 20, which is pivoted to one end of a connecting-rod 2l, which is slotted lengthwise as at 2l', where it is engaged by and rocked on a fulcrumpivot j', fixed in a bracket j, carried by the base A. At its other end the connectingrod 21, is pivotally connected to a link 22, which is also pivotally connected with a crank 23, which is mounted on an end of the shaft 24, on which are secured collars 24', 25, to prevent end play of said shaft. A tooth 25', projects radially from the collar 25, and engages with notches 26', 26', which are shown as formed in a disk 26, and equal in number to the dies 1, 1. The disk 26, is mounted on the shaft 7. The bolt 17" being disengaged from the index disk L, (see more particularly Fig. 1,) the crank 17', may be operated as before-mentioned to rotate the shaft 17, and, with the latter, the crank 20, by means of which the connectingrod 21, will be so operated as to cause the link 22, to rotate the crank 23, and the shaft 24. At each rotation of the latter, the tooth 25', of the collar 25, will engage in a notch 26', of the disk 26, and thus partially rotate the latter. The correlation of the members which are operated by the crank 17', will be such that each rotation of the latter will effect an equal angular movement of the punch-carrier 16, and the die-carrier 8, and by means thereof all of the dies l, 1, and punches 2, 2, will be correlatively presented at their respective type-forming positions, and the engagement of the indexingbolt 17", in a particular hole f, in the indexdisk z., will denote and insure the type-forming positioning of the indicated moldingdie and of the correlative ramming-punch.

In the organization thus far described is embodied mechanism for rocking a moldingdie or dies by a cycloidal movement to form a type upon a typebar; but my present invention is not limited to such mechanism nor to a rocking movement of any particular part of the type-forming elements. The die may be operated as before-mentioned, or the punch may, by a suitable motion communicated thereto, force the type-formable material into the cavity of the die and the interstices thereof; and in Fig. 4 of the drawing, I have illustrated mechanism for forming types or other characters according to my present invention by rocking a bar of suitable material against a type-forming die; the bar herein shown being also reinforced or backed at the opposite side of the diecontacting point. The molding-dies and rammers are shown of the general form shown in the remaining figures of the drawing, and mounted, as before-mentioned, in rot-ating carriers. The bar shown in this figure is also similar in form to one described elsewhere herein; and relatively the same reference marks are used throughout the drawings, for said bar and for the dies and punches and die and punch-carrier. A simp e form of a mechanical organization is shown in Fig. 4, however, in order to avoid needless complication in illustrating the operation of my present invention in the form thereof which is now being more particularly described.

As shown in Fig. 4, rammel- s orpunches 2, 2, aremounted radially on the punch-carrier 16, which is rotatably mounted on a horizontal pivot 30', which is fixed in a rocker herein generally designated as 30, which comprises a tubular portion 31, and a disciform part 31', between which and a clamp 32, the punch-carrier 16, and angletypebar B, may be clamped by means of a member shown herein as a knurled nut 33. which will engage with a screw-thread formedon the stud or pivot 30'. The clamp 32, is rabbeted as at 32', to adapt itto hold 120 the angle-bar B., in the proper position for a type to be formed thereon. The rocker 30, is shown as pivoted at 30", to a bracket m, carried by the base A, the axis of said pivot being in line with the type-formative elements when the latter are operatively positioned. A lug 34, which may be integral with the tubular member 31, of the rocker 30, is pivotally connected to a link 35, and the latter is also similarly connected to a lso crank 36, mounted on a rotatable shaft 37. In this instance the die-carrier 8, is shown mounted on a vertical shaft 38, rotatable in a bearing formed in the bracket a, and have a stop-collar 38, secured thereon to prevent end-play thereof. The molding-dies 1, 1, are shown in Fig. 4, severally mounted upon die-bodies 1, 1', each of which is reciprocatable parallelly of the axis of the die-carrier 8, and is provided with a head 1, with which a returning-spring 1", engages. An indexing bolt 39, is shown, reciprocatable in the bracket a, and adapted to enter index holes, (not shown herein,) formed in and transversely of the die-carrier 8, and which will be equal in number to the dies 1, 1. A hand-lever 40 is shown fulcrumed between lugs n, n, which latter may be integral with the bracket a. The lever 40, as shown, has two arms, one of which engages the indexing bolt 39, and the other is formed as a hand-piece. A retractive spring 40, attached at one end to an arm of the lever 40, and at the other end to the bracket a, serves to retain the indexing bolt 39, in any index hole in which it may be engaged. An iin-- pressing lever 41, is shown oscillatably mounted at o, on the bracket a, and having a handle 41', and a contact part 41, the latter being adapted to impinge upon the head 1, of any die-body 1, which may be positioned to operate a die 1, upon the bar B.

In use, the mechanism illustrated in Fig. 9 may be operated as follows The nut 33, being unscrewed and the clamp 32, being opened sufficiently, a bar B, Will be inserted in the latter in position to have a type formed thereon by the type-forming elements; a rammer or punch 2, being meantime properly positioned or the purpose, by operating the punch-carrier 16. The clamp 32, Will then be closed upon the bar B, and punch-carrier 16, by screwing up the nut 33. The indexing bolt 39, being then Withdrawn from the index hole in which it may at the time be engaged, the die-carrier 8, will be rotated to properly position the particular die 1, Which will be adapted to form the required type, and the die-carrier will then be locked against rotation by means of the bolt 39. The shaft 37, will now be rotated by a suitable driver, (not shown herein,) and by means of the crank 36, and link 35, cause a Working motion of the rocker 30, on the pivot 30. If the impressing lever 41, be novv depressed, it Will force the operative die 1, against the bar B, which, being backed by the operative counter-punch 2, Will assume at the part thereof operated upon, a form in relief Which will be the counterpart of the cavity in the operative molding die 1. The series of operations thus described may be repeated to form a series of types or other characters, on the bar B.
