the U-shaped member 2' rests against the
arm 6, causing a partial rotation of the rod
7, and carrying the free end of the finger
8 against the free eAd of the spring 9, fore-
5 ing the pin 10 inwardly and projecting it
into the intermediate channel in position' so
that it will engage against the matrices pass-
ing therethrough, in case they are assembled
in upper position, as shown in Fig. 5, and
13 thus locking said matrices against forward
movement ;U1I thny have been adjusted by
the operator to lower position; and when so
adjusted, to j.,-r position, as shown by
dotted lines in F1. , 'h< will then be free
15 to pass on to tie aldinrg disk, and will
aline therewith, and form a perfect casting.
The intermediate channel has a front rail
14 and a back rail 15, provided with the
lower and upper grooves 16, 19, and 17, 18,
20 respectively, adapted to receive the corre-
sponding lugs of the matrices, and to per-
mit said matrices to occupy the upper and
lower positions therein.
When the filling piece 1 is thrown out of
25 active position, as shown by dotted lines in
Fig. 1, the arm 6 is released and the flexibil-
ity of the spring 9 withdraws the pin 10
from locking position in the intermediate
channel 13.
30 What I claim is:
1. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a channel, provided
for the passage of the matrices, of a locking
mechanism, adapted to be projected into saidchannel in front of said matrices, and a 35
filling piece which actuates said locking
mechanism when in active position.
2. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a channel along which
matrices travel to the molding disk, of a 40
locking means adapted to be projected into
said channel, a yieldable member normally
holding said means withdrawn from the
channel, an actuating mechanism, and a fill-
ing piece operating through-said mechanism, 45
when in active position, to hold said means
projected into said channel, in path of said
matrices.
3. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a channel, along which bo
matrices travel to a molding disk, of a fill-
ing piece, an actuating mechanism, a lock-
ing means, a member connected to said lock-
ing means and normally holding the same
withdrawn from the channel, said actuat- 55
ing mechanism being actuated by the filling
piece when in active position and operating
against said member to hold said means pro-
jected into the channel in. front of the mat-
rices,, and locking them against movement co
along said channel.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
name to this specification in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
