JOHN W. GRAHAM, OF HIN'TON, WEST VIRGINIA.
TYPOGRAPHICAL OR SLUG-CASTING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 15, 191 *7.
Application filed July 19, 1915. Serial No. 40,804.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN W. GRAHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hinton, in the county of Summers and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Typographical or Slug-Casting Machines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to typographical machines such as linotypes of theoriginal construction, wherein circulating matrices are released from a magazine in the order in which their characters are to appear in print, and then assembled in line, together with expanding spacers, the composed line brought in contact with the face of a mold, the mold filled with molten metal to form a line of type or slug against the face of the matrices, which produce the type characters thereon, and the matrices thereafter returned to the magazine from which they were originally drawn.
More particularly it relates to that class of machines-having a series of magazines, in connection with means whereby any maga-.
Zine of the seriesmay be brought into operative position, and wherein the magazines are removable and interchangeable.
My invention is embodied in the new and novel construction of the frame which supports and guides the magazines up and down on their line of travel, and in the automatic locking device, and particularly in the feature of the locking device, whereby the mag azine in operative position when locked is moved forward, and wherein the guide roll ers D are engaged in slots provided in the arms A and B, and the further feature that when the lock operating roller L is. moved to any magazine which is desired to be next brought into operative position, that the magazine already in operative position is automatically unlocked and thrown back, so that the guide rollers are disengaged from the slots, and the magazines are free to be moved up or down as desired, and whereby when the dial is set to change from the magazine in operative position, to any other .magazine, and the. series of magazines is.
then raised and lowered as desired, the magazine which is set to come in operative position moves forward and is locked in posi- I tion automatically. My invention also covers the feature whereby the entrance chan nel slides outward automatically when the magazine is unlocked. The entrance channel is also hinged to the block on which it slides, and may be turned back by hand at any time without interfering with the look, but this last feature is no part of this invention.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown my invention as applied to a linotype machine, but obviously it may be applied to other machines, and many changes and variations could be made therein without departing from the spirit or principle of this invention, and I wish it understood that I do not limit myself'to any form or embodiment except in so far as such form or embodiment is specified in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a side view of a portion of a linotype machine having my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 shows a side View of a portion of Fig. 1 with the lock operating har E, removed. Figs. 3 and 3 are views at right angles showing the lock operating bar. Fig. 4 shows a top view of a magazine resting in its rack, and also the locking mechanism. Fig. 5 is a side view of the racks showing how each rack supports the rack above by its rollers D Fig. 6 and Fig. 6 show the channel entrance in and out of operative position. Fig. 7 shows part of the mecha nism for raising and lowering the magazines. Fig. 8 shows the screws to raise and lower the lock operating rollers, and the shaft connecting the two screws.
Referring to Fig. l,
A shows the main supporting arm which is forked, one fork protruding upward on each side of the magazines, near their rear ends B shows a forked armmade very much the same and doing substantially the same duty, as the arm A, but placed near the frontal end of the magazines. Both arms are slotted to receive the guide rollers D on the racks.

N shows a crank on the shaft N.
In operating the machine Fig. 1 shows the central magazine locked in position.
The magazines are numbered, preferably from the top; in this instance 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the wheel K is so geared to the screw L that, of a revolution of the shaft K will turn the screws L sufficiently to move the block with its attached roller L a distance equal to the distance from the center of one rack to the center of the next rack. The dial K is rigidly aflixed to the bearing K which supports the frontal end of the shaft K. The hand wheel K on the shaft K has attached to it a pointer or finger; the said dial is graduated to suit the number of magazines in this instance five; therefore the dial is numbered preferably 1, 2, 3, 1, 5. In Fig. 1 the central magazine No. 3 is in operative position; to illustrate, we will assume that it is desirable to bring the lower magazine No. 5 to operative position. To do this the hand wheel K is turned until the finger points to the Fig. 5 on the dial. The shaft K is connected to the screw L on the side of the magazines by bevel gears and these gears are so proportioned that the said turn of the hand wheel K operates the said screw sufiiciently to bring the roller L down to the center of the lower magazine No. 5. The roller L is affixed to the block L which block is in the form of a threaded nut, the thread of which engages the screw L. hen the block L with its connected roller L is lowered as above stated it allows the spring.
E to throw the bar E back and disengages the guide rollers D from the notches in the arms. The crank N on the shaft N is now turned and the magazines raised. When the lower magazine No. 5 is about to come into operative position the roller L which is standing central of this magazine and which moves upward with the series of magazines, engages the stationary rollers E on the bar E, Fig. 1, forcing the bar forward and locking the desired magazine No. 5 into the notches provided in the guide arms. The roller L can be brought to rest at any desired magazine and the said magazine automatically locked in operative position as above illustrated. The entrance channel G is moved automatically in and out of operative position by means of the connecting rod E The arms A and B are made slotted so as to receive the guide rollers D and guide the racks in their travel. The arms are bent back at a point above the operative position so as to guide the uppermost magazines back out of the way of the operator.
Having described my invention, its construction and operation, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:
1. In a typographical machine the combination of a plurality of removable magazines, racks therefor, guide rollers on said racks, arms to engage the guide rollers, there being notches in the said arms to receive the guide rollers of the magazine to be locked in operative position.
