Application filed November 28, 1894. Renewed $111,712, 1898. Serial No. 685,765. (No model.)
T ctZZ whom it may concern.- 1
Be it known that I, EDWARD HETT, a citien of the United States, and a resident of New York, (New Dorp,) in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Device for Distributing Water or other Liquid Especially Adapted for Use as a Water-Roller in Printing-Presses, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specifi cation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof.
My invention relates primarily to means for supplying and distributing water to the printing or form cylinders of a printing-press for the purpose of dampening the surfaces of such cylinders where such dampening is required and especially in multicolor lithographic printing presses. It will be apparent that some of its features may be employed for supplying and distributing other liquids than Water and in connection with other devices than the form-cylinders of printing-presses.
The object of my invention is to make it possible to regulate with accuracy and certainty and with great ease and by a simple operation the quantity of liquid supplied and at the same time to secure a complete and uniform distribution of the liquid over the surface of the distributing device, and thereby over the surface of the cylinder or other object to which the liquid is supplied.
Another object of my invention is to secure the utmost simplicity of construction and method of operation. 7
Another object of my invention is to successfully dampen continuously a series of curved lithographic-printing surfaces in a multicolor lithographic printing press that is continuously printing a plurality of colors upon the paper in approximately instantaneous succession.
My invention consists of the parts and combinations of parts herein set out and claimed.
The accompanying drawings represent the parts and indicate the combinations of parts in a multicolor lithographic printing press embodying my invention.
Figure 1 represents a side View of the waterfountain or source of supply, being a roller broken away at the middle,so as to show means for regulating the quantity of the water-supply, being the two perforated tubes and the outer coverings, the perforations being shown in register. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view through the axis of the roller, the perforations of one tube being shown out of register with the perforations of the other. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view'through the axis of the roller, half the perforations of one tube being shown in register with half the perforations of the other. Fig. 3 is a side view of the outer tube with the coverings removed and in such position as to show two lines of perforations. Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken on the line 4 a of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a cross-section taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a sectional View of an illustrative portion of a multicolor lithographic printing press forming as to some of its features the subject of my application for a patent, Serial No. 518,015, filed on July 19, 1894, and renewed May 27, 1899, Serial No. 718,570, showing myiinproved regulatable water-fountaincombined therein and indicating the method of combination of a series of such water-supply devices in a series of dampening mechanisms with a series of lithographicprinting surfaces and a series of inking mechanisms, all arranged about the periphery of a central impression-drum.
Referring to the drawings, a represents a tube which is provided with perforations b b, arranged in groups of two and distributed uniformly over the entire body of the tube, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. These perforations, aslshown, are arranged in lines running lengthwise of the tube and also in lines encircling the tube. In this way the points of discharge for the water are placed at uniform distances from one another and evenly and regularly distributed over the surface of the tube. The distance between the two perforations of each group is preferably made equal to the diameter of each perforation. The number, size, and arrangement of these perforations can be greatly varied. I prefer to make the perforations about one-sixteenth of an inch wide.
The tube ais securely attached to the heads (I and 0, preferably by a screw-thread attachment such as shown. The headsd and c are provided with journals, as shown, by which they can be mounted in the press. The journal of head at has an opening through its center for the admission of water to the tube.

move thereon. This tube eis also perforated in the same manner as the inner tube and threaded neck f, extending from one end of the tube 6, and the ring g, which is provided with an internal screw-thread taking in the screw-thread of the neck f. The ring 9 is adapted to turn on the head d,'butis prevented from moving lengthwise thereon by means of the annular projection or guide h on thehead d, which projects into the annular groove't' in the ring 9. When the ring 9 is turned in one direction, it draws the tube e toward it.
When it is turned in the reverse direction, it forces the tube e in the opposite direction. The ringgin the form shown in thedrawings ismade 1n two parts, so that it can beput in place upon the head cl. When the tube e has been properly adj usted,itis held in place also by'the nut is, which is screwed against the end of the tube 6, thus holding the tube firmly between the ring 9 and the nut is. The nut is takes in a screw-thread on the head a. prevent the tube 6 from revolving or turning on the tube a, the tube e is provided with a longitudinal slot Z, into which a pin 1% projects from the tube a. The tubes aand care preferably made of brass.
n is the usual covering of felt, and 0 the usual outside covering of flannel. These coverings are fastened to the outside tube by means of annular slots or grooves 19 p in the tube 0, near its ends, into which the coverings are'pressed, and thereby fastened by means of the wire or string q, as shown.
The operation of the specific water-supply device shown is as follows: When the full quantity of water which can be discharged through all the perforations is required, the outer tube is moved so as to bring its perforations in register with those of the inner tube. If a smaller quantity of water is desired, the outer tube can be moved so as to partly shut 'oif each perforation, or by moving the outer tube a distance equal to twice the diameter of one of the perforations half the perforations in the outer tube will be in exact register with half the perforations in the inner tube, the
other perforations being entirely closed. 'Better results are secured in the latterway and I prefer thatmode of operation, because'itis advantageous to keep the size of the discharge-openings always the same andto're i duce the quantity of water discharged b-yre ducing the number of such discharge-openings. Where the construction is such that the movement of one tube upon the other operates to control the quantity of water discharged by increasing or decreasing the size of the separate perforations or openings, the results are not as reliableor as controllable. When a discharge-perforation is made too small, it may suddenly cease altogether to discharge or maydischarge irregularly, and again it may not, and if increased very slightly its discharge may be disproportionately increased or it may not. Friction and capillary attraction come into change and modify the flow or to stop it altogether and this irregularly-that is to say, not always exactly or reliably in proportion to the size of the opening. Then, again, dirt and grit and sediment in the water may clog verysmall openings, and if so this clogging will be very apt to be irregular. My invention permits the maintaining of the'size or diameter of the separate openings or perforations, while decreasing or increasing the effective number of such perforations open to the flow of the water. In this way a reliable control of the aggregate flow is obtained and maintained. Other methods of arranging or grouping the perforations may be employed, so long as by moving the second tube into diiferent positions upon the first a different number of perforations will be broughtinto register. In this way the quan tity of water supplied by the water-roller can be easily and accurately andnicely regulated. By distributing the perforations uniformly over the entire surface of the roller the water is evenly and uniformlydistributed and each part .of the surface of the roller receives its proper share.
' In Fig. 6 the improved water-roller just described is shown in combination with a curved or cylindrical lithographic-printing surface, a group of intervening water-distributing rollers, and an inking mechanism and indicates the combination of a series of groups of such parts with a central impression-drum and about the periphery of such drum in a multicolor lithographic printing press such as I have described and claimed as to other features in another application for Letters Patent, Serial No. 518,015, filed by me on July 19,

The dampening mechanisms, one for each lithographic-printing surface, are arranged, as shown, in the interspaces between adjacent printing-surfaces and each includes a waterfountain and a group of water-distributing rollers and means for accurately regulating the minute quantity of water supplied from time to time by each water-fountain or source of water-su pply to its group of water-distribut- The invention in some of its aspects can be employed for other purposes than to dampen the form-cylinders of a printing-press. It is adapted for use in any place where it is necessary to supply water or other liquid in minutely-regulated quantities to the surface of a roller or other device.
