PAINTING- MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming' part Of Letters Patent NO. 651,166, dated June 5, 1900.

Application filed March 15, 1900. Serial No. 8,825. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT HEINZE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Painting-Machines; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to painting-machines intended for use in all the branches of the graphic art in drawing on paper with pigment dissolved in water or oil, on stone or alumini-' um or zinc in lithography, on copper or zinc in photoengraving, in china-painting, &c., and of especial advantage in quick newspaper-illustrating.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combi-' nation of the parts of the painting-machine, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front view with the front plates of the casing removed to show the operative parts of the paintingmachine. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the painting-machine, portions of the mechanism being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a side view of the painting-machine, portions of the mechanism being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the casing of the machine, the handle L shown in Fig. 3 being removed; and Fig. 5 is a detail view in both full lines and dotted lines, showing the normal position and the two extremes to which the grate may be adjusted.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference desige mate the same parts in the several figures, R designates the case of the machine, which is provided at one end with a reinforcingplate S, which is connected to the outer face of the case B by rivet-heads U and V, passed through rivet-holes in said reinforcing-plate into bearing-pins P of the brushes A and the peripherally-toothed gears B of the rollers M M of absorbent material. The teeth of the gears B B B B are in engagement to form a train of gearing,one of which is provided with a crank C, which is secured to the shaft of one of the upper rollers 13 by a nut K, nuts K being also employed with the bearing-pins in the shafts of the other rollers.

E F are the ends of the grate-frame, in which the spatter bars or'rods s are supported. The

brushes A A contact with the pigment-rollers M M, which receive the pigment or ink from a reservoir Y, mounted above said rollers M M, remove said pigment from the absorbcnt rollers M M, and, coming in contact with vided in its bottom with orifices in which are valves X X,said valves X X being seated in the lower faces of said openings, the valve-stems extending up through the top of said reservoir Y, their projecting ends being provided with milled nuts, &c., by which they may be operated to open and close them. The reservoir Y is provided with a filling-opening provided with a removable lid or cover .2, which ervoir until such time as it needs refilling or replenishment. By turning the crank C the liquid pigment which has been fed onto the absorbent rollers M M will be removed'gradually therefrom by the revolving brushes A A and thrown down upon the spatter rods or bars 3, which will finely divide the pigment or paint and deposit upon the surface of the paper, zinc, copper, or other surface over which the machine is held while being operated, the thinness or thickness of the pigment projected upon the receiving surface being treated being heavier or lighterthat is, thinneraccordingly as the distance between the machine and the surface receiving treatment is greater or lesser, the variations in the thickness or thinness of the surface formed on the receiving object being left to the judgment of the operator, who has full view of the deposit as it forms on the surface being treated, the machine being held in one hand by grasping the handle L while it is being operated to cause the deposit of pigment or ink by operating the crank O with the other hand.

While I have described my construction in connection with a reservoir for receiving the ent rollers can be painted or coated with liquid pigment by means of a hand paint-brush, so that, if desired, the reservoir may be dispensed with, and I also use my painting-machine in this latter form.

Although I have described the construction and operation of my painting-machine in the form best known to me, it is obvious that many minor changes might be made in the construction of the same without departing from the character of the invention, and I do not confine myself to the exact construction herein described and illustrated.

Having thus fullydescribed my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a painting-machine of the class described, the combination with the casing having a discharge-opening in its bottom; of the absorbent rollers; the rotating brushes beneath them and geared thereto; the spatter bars or rods engaging said brush-rollers; the I valved pigment-reservoir above said absorbent rollers and means for holding the casing over the surface receiving treatment and means for imparting motion to said geared rollers; substantially as specified.

2. In a painting-machine of the class described, the combination with the open-bottom casing; the valved reservoir at its upper portion; the absorbent rollers beneath said valved reservoir; rotary brushes beneath said absorbent rollers; gearing connecting said absorbent rollers and said rotary brushes;

means for imparting motion to said rollers and brushes; and spatter bars or rods supported beneath and in contact with said rotary brushes by an adjusting-rod connected with said casing by an adj usting-nut for regulating and varying the positions of the spatter bars or rods and rotary brushes and thereby varying the grain or texture of the deposit l upon the surface treated; substantially as specified.

3. In a painting-machine of the class described, the combination with the casing,. of the crank operated absorbent rollers; the .brush-rollers beneath said absorbent rollers; 11 the adjustable spatter bars or rods supported adj ustably beneath said bruslrrollers; andthe 1 valved reservoirs supported above said absorbent rollers and gearing connecting said absorbent rollers with said brush-rollers; subw stantially as specified.

4. In a painting-machine of the class de- 1' scribed, the combination with the casing, of

.the crank-operated absorbent rollers; the

iblllSh-l'OllQIS beneath said absorbent rollers; the adjustable spatter bars beneath said brush-rollers; and gearing connecting said absorbent rollers and said brush-rollers; substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set I my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- ALBERT HEINZE. Witnesses:

HARRY C. TOLLES, LECHAUD OANNoN.
