Description

This invention relates to a device for sorting typographical squares consisting of a series of vertical, gradually narrowing channels. In the proposed device, each of the channels is provided with three openings for dividing squares into the channel by „their width.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device; FIG. 2 is a section along the line of the LED in FIG. one; and FIG. 3 is a section along line AB in FIG. one.

The device consists of an inclined board 1 with a direction of yush, a neck 2 and a row of vertical gradually tapering channels 3 of different cross section, serving to sort out squares in thickness. For this purpose, the right part of the channels 3 is made through, and the lower edge of the channel is provided with a gap (between the board 1 and the edge of channel 3) of such thickness that through this slot free thinner squares are lined up and squares of a certain thickness are delayed. For this, a slot in the upper channel 3 passes down thinner squares and draws the thickest dimension into the channel. The second channel assigns a second size to the zhol, etc. The fifth and last channel 3 does not have a through slot at the bottom, and removes all the thinnest squares.

Thus, each of the channels sorts the squares by thickness, with

squares of each thickness move along the corresponding channel due to the fact that the channels are inclined. In each of the channels 3 squares are sorted by width. For this, under the channels 3 on the surface of the board 1, three holes 5, 7 and 9 are made. Hole 5 corresponds to the size of the largest square. A pin 6 is installed at the top edge of the hole 5. This pin b holds a large square as it moves down along channel 3 and the square falls through the hole 5 into the corresponding box. An inclined tooth 8 is installed at the top of the hole against the opening 7, the largest average square size. This tooth guides the square of the average size to the opening 7. Finally, small squares arrive at the opening 9 and are guided by the bevelled part 10 of the upper cover of the channel 3 The height of the pin 7 and the tooth 8 is such that the pin b, retaining a large size, passes the small, and the middle tooth 8, retaining, the average size, passes the small.

The second purpose of the pin 6 is to put on a larger edge a square of medium and small size in the event that the squares move along the channel one hundred. In this case, the upper edge of the square rests on pin b, and the lower one turns, and the whole square slips through the line of the large hole and moves further
