Assembling matrices; magazines. - Relates to machines employing bars bearing several formative cavities (or type-dies), in which the bars are provided with rigid suspension hooks for suspension from wires on which the bars are guided to the assembling point, the hooks being constructed to permit the bars to have a movement on the wires equal to the distance between the characters on the bars. The wires at the assembling-point are arranged in four parallel rows, and the distance between any two superposed wires is equal to the length of a hook. Figs. 1 and 2 show two different ways of arranging the wires a, b. When the wires are attached at their rear ends to the supporting-frame in the usual manner, the wires of adjacent inner and outer rows cross one another, and at this point either one of the wires is bent to provide the necessary distance between the wires. The wires may be arranged so that no crossing takes places. The rows of wires may be attached to a bar at the assembling-point at four groups of points, but a narrower bar may be employed when the outer wires are bent inwards for attachment, as shown in Fig. 7. The requisite spacing of the wires at the points of crossing may be obtained by securing the rear ends of the wires at different levels. Fig. 8 shows the wires secured to a toothed rear frame member d by means of clamps g. The bars which travel on the outer wires have bent hooks requiring a wide path of travel, and to avoid fouling of the various bars, a greater space is arranged between adjacent wires at the rear of the place of assemblage.
