Description

Line exclusion device on a machine for producing a Registration strip for the control of a phototypesetting machine The invention relates to a line exclusion device on a machine for producing a registration strip for the control of a photocomposing machine, which is a sequence of encrypted characters and has width information associated therewith that of an excluded line of characters of different widths, the machine being a Has a keyboard with a number of character keys and a word patient key, to whose actuation the locking device responds and the total width of all Characters and the word spaces in the set, not excluded line summed up, the difference in length between the non-excluded and the fully excluded Line to the word spaces and then those corresponding to the exclusion Imprints information on the registration strip.

The recording strips provided for controlling a photocomposition machine must be produced in such a way that the character content of a line is replaced by a Control coding provided for this purpose is separated from that of the next line is so that the typesetting machine can exclude one line before moving on to the next Line begins to set. The exclusion takes place with a known photocomposition machine selected by a corresponding one of the spaces between words present in a line Number of spacers between which in their width between a minimum and a maximum value of variable space wedges can be inserted at the same time. the The depth of penetration of the spatial wedges represents an analogous measure for the individual spaces between words The space to be closed is represented by one of the length of the depth of penetration of the space wedges corresponding line marking is entered on the registration strip.

This line marker intended to control the exclusion proves to be disadvantageous in several ways. An analog measurement is namely in principle afflicted with an error that cannot be reduced in size at will can. This means that a register strip provided with printed marking lines cannot control a photocomposing machine so precisely that the individually excluded Lines are sufficiently exactly the same length. This is particularly the case dirty register strips are the case, resulting in an incorrect length of the marking lines to pretend.

To overcome these disadvantages of analog control, are already Devices have become known which allow a binary calculation of the exclusion values. For this purpose, the width units assigned to the characters and spaces are used summed up in a binary counter and subtracted from the total line width. The at Subtract the sum of the character widths and the widths for the spaces between words The remainder of the total character width is then applied to the interword spaces distributed across the row. In this known device, the exclusion values are after you have finished typing a line, not immediately before, but must only determined by filling the counter to the preset line length before they can be added to the word spaces of a line.

The invention is based on the object of a line exclusion device on a machine for the production of a registration strip for the control of a To create photosetting machine, in which the binary exclusion value immediately after Completion of the keying in of a line is present and in this form in the register strip can be punched.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the width of each character in a known way an integer sum of equals Is units of width and that the locking device a calculator with a step-by-step rotatable according to the line width and accordingly the number of word spaces in relation to contacts, which can be gradually moved axially Has drum on which a pattern which actuates the contacts is fixedly attached which is divided into two main groups, one of which is the integer group Part of the quotient from the remaining amount of the units of width and the number of word spaces one line and the other main group the remaining quotient remainder immediately represents.

The two main groups are advantageously arranged on opposite, semi-cylindrical parts of the drum, the contact-actuating patterns of the drum being formed by raised strips. Furthermore, each of the main groups is subdivided into a number of sub-groups to which the binary numerical values 1, 2, 4, 8 ... Are assigned in succession.

The one that is set by rotating or axially displacing the drum Exclusion value is tapped in that a parallel to the axis of the drum displaceable Slide is provided with one contact for each of the subgroups, the Contacts arranged on two opposite surface lines parallel to the drum axis are.

This line exclusion device according to the invention offers the advantage that the information required to exclude the line after keying of a line are immediately available in the machine, since the one that calculates the exclusion information Drum immediately when you key in each character to a value corresponding to the exclusion value Position is rotated. This enables a recording strip to be produced more quickly will. Furthermore, by using the binary system in the exclusion calculation ensures that the excluded line always has the same predetermined number covered by unit patients.

Setting and encryption device The setting and encryption device consists according to FIG. 1 from a typewriter 50 and an encoder for the encrypted electrical characters to be transmitted to the registration strip. The typewriter is of the usual type, but has been adapted in detail for the purposes of the invention. When the finger keys are pressed one after the other to encrypt a printed message or information, a typed typed and therefore visible match of the encrypted message is generated at the same time, making it easy to check whether the message was transmitted in the correct or incorrect version after the tape punch . As is customary, the typewriter contains a large number of keys which represent the various characters, and its finger keys, key levers, type levers and other components are arranged and designed in the manner customary in typewriters. Therefore, two characters are assigned to each key, one of which is printed in the raised position and the other in the non-raised position of the type lever.

At one end of each key lever 54 is a finger key 53 is attached, and by pressing on this, the lever 54 is around one on the machine frame 56 seated pin 55 can be swiveled out. A compression spring 57 holds the key lever 54 in its normal or inoperative position, in which he at one fixed, not shown in FIG. 1 illustrated stop is applied. Furthermore is with each button lever 54 by a handlebar 60 an upwardly projecting, pivotable connected to the typewriter frame 62 mounted arm 61, the at its upper End via a handlebar 63 with the character carrier 64 in connection, which in turn is pivotable about a pin 65 and to the stop on the roller 66 to be brought character body 52 carries.

A two-armed auxiliary lever 67 which can be pivoted about a support pin 70 is, has a nose 71 on his front arm that is in contact with the one above provided key lever 54 by one acting on the other arm of the auxiliary lever 67 Tension spring 72 is held while the front end of the auxiliary lever 67 is in a key lock 69 of the FIG. 3 apparent execution can take hold. This key lock consists of a sleeve 73 extending transversely to all key levers 54, in which several balls 74 are arranged side by side and thereby free in the Can slide or roll in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve. The end walls 75 of the Sleeve 73 are at such a distance from each other that only one Auxiliary lever 67 through a slot cut out under it in the wall of the sleeve can be inserted into this between the balls, so that the simultaneous depression is prevented by several buttons. Since it is also under certain circumstances, e.g. B. in the production of the controlling circuit sequences, it is desirable to use a fin (y) key until after a circuit sequence has been carried out, a locking solenoid 78 is provided (see FIG. 3), which when energized the balls 74 press against one another and thereby the introduction of only one auxiliary lever 67 between them makes impossible.

Immediately above the rear end of the auxiliary love 67 is a vertical, on a trigger 82 acting bar 76 raised and lowered arranged on one end with a fold-like recess, the adjacent end of the auxiliary lever 67 can overlap, while it is about in its middle on its front edge a Has cam surface 77, which when the bar is raised by the auxiliary lever 67 lies on a roller 80 in order to disengage the bar 76 from the lever 67, whereupon a tension spring 81 brings the bar 76 back into its inoperative low position. As long as one Button is held down, the bar 76 is raised only for an instant and then immediately withdrawn by spring 81 to its normal position. This means. that even when holding a key in the working position only a character for the character represented by it after the strip punch is transmitted.

The trigger 82, on which the bar 76 engages and which is pivotably seated on a rod 83, is provided with two arms (cf. IF i g. 1 and 5), one of which is loosely in one on the bar 76 to this Purpose recessed groove rests and the other supports one end of a rotatable cam disk 87 carrying yoke 84. The other end of the yoke 84 is urged downward about the rod 85 by a spring 86. The cam disk 87 rotatable on the yoke 84 carries a stop pin 90 which is in engagement with a finger of a bar 92 in order to move the cam disk 87 in its from FIG. 1 apparent normal situation to keep. A continuously revolving roller 93 provided with a rubber coating is mounted under the cam disk 87 and is motor-driven by a disk 94 and a belt 95. In order to save space, the adjacent yokes 84 are alternately arranged on the front and rear of the vertical ledges 76 acting on triggers 82, and therefore a second rubber-coated roller 96 is provided and two gears 97 connect the two rollers in common and uniform rotation.

Above each bar 76 there is a second bar 100 at a distance therefrom arranged, which is vertically displaceable in guides 101 and 102 and on the the yoke 84 can act. The bar 100, which is used to adjust an encryption rod is provided with a row of grooves 103 on each of its two longitudinal edges. For each key 53 of the keypad 50 there is one bar 76 and one bar 100 provided and with the exception of the rollers driving the cam disks and the for this intended drive are the other structural parts of the in Fig. 1 to 5 illustrated devices in corresponding repetition provided for each of the character keys of the keypad50.

On both sides of the grooved strips 100 a row of rods 105 is supported in brackets 104, which can be pivoted back and forth about their axes and each lie in a single vertical plane and alternate in succession at their one and their other ends over those provided there Stirrups extend outwards and of which one protrudes over the one and the next one protrudes beyond the opposite stirrup. The protruding end part of each rod 105, which is designed as a square, carries a cam-like acting actuator 106 which (cf.Fig. 2 and 4) is in engagement with a roller 107 of a mechanically adjustable electrical switch 110, which by means of a Holder 111 is attached to the adjacent bracket 104. This arrangement ensures that the actuator 106, when the rod 105 rotates, engages the switch roller 107 and brings the switch 110 connected to it into effect.

As shown in FIG. 1, a total of thirteen are around their axes reciprocating rods 105 are provided, and of these encryption rods are in the direction of the button and the auxiliary lever seven in front and six behind the grooved strips 100 causing their pivoting are arranged. Four of these Rods and associated electrical switches are used to convey information about the character width and eight and the associated switches for forwarding which uses the characters reproducing the characters. The remaining encryption rod and the associated switch form a so-called universal unit, which at Each time you press any key, its purpose and mode of operation come into play can be seen in more detail in the explanation of the electrical circuits of the machine will be.

A clasp 112 is clamped to each of the rods 105 (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 5), on which in turn an encryption strip 113 is held, the side surfaces of which is transverse to the strips 100 and one of its longitudinal edges into the Grooves 103 of strips 100 engages. On this edge, each encryption strip 113 has a series of grooves, the arrangement of which, however, changes from strip to strip. If the grooves of the encryption strips 113 coincide with the grooves in any drive strip 100, this can be displaced in the vertical direction without affecting the encryption strips grooved in this way. By selectively using the encryption bars 113, it can be achieved that each drive bar 100 brings about a different combination of encryption bars 113 than any second drive bar 100.

When a drive bar 100 comes into operative engagement with an encryption bar 113, the rod 105 to which this encryption bar 113 is attached will be pivoted about its axis and thereby bring the corresponding actuator 106 to act on the associated switch 110. For each drive strip 100 brought into the working position, there is a single separate combination of switches that come into effect, and when a drive strip 100 is returned to its normal position, the tension springs 114 will pivot the entirety of the displaced encryption strips 113 back into the normal position.

According to FIG. 5, compression springs 115 enclose certain four rods 105 and resiliently hold these and the encryption strips 113 sitting thereon in a prescribed position. Under certain circumstances, however, the pivotable rods 105 are displaced by overcoming the opposing force of the springs in order to bring the encryption strips 113 into a second prescribed position. All of the other pivotable rods 105 and the associated encryption strips 113 cannot be moved and remain in a single prescribed position. If the displaceable encryption strips 113 are transferred to the second position, the previous alignment of their grooves with the grooves of the corresponding drive strips 100 can be lost and a new combination of encryption strips 113 can be brought into effect by these when they are adjusted.

This possibility of setting the rods 105 in two displacement positions is important insofar as each typewriter key 53 and consequently each drive bar 100 reproduces two types of characters, one of which is used in the raised and the other in the non-raised position of the type lever. The sliding encryption bars transmit the information about the character width after the strip punch, and the width of large and small letters can be more or less different from character to character. The transmission of characters used to represent characters after the strip punch takes place in a purely electrical manner for the characters displayed in the raised position.

In order to achieve the displacement of the encryption bars 113, according to FIG. 5 each rod 105 pivotable about its axis is provided with a protruding pin 116 which carries at its free end a roller 117 which is in contact with one surface of an angled sliding plate 120 which is pivotable by a link 121 and a solenoid arm 122 parallel thereto is held. The solenoid arm 122 is connected to a shaft 123 of the rotatable solenoid 124. As a result, when the solenoid 124 is energized, the arm 122 will pivot clockwise and therefore the encryption bars 113 will move to the left and compress the springs 115. The movement of the rotatable rods 105 and the encryption strips 113 does not result in any movement of the cam-shaped actuators 106, because these sit slidably on the square ends of the rods 105 and remain firmly in place. When the solenoid 124 is de-energized again, the compression springs 115 return the encryption strips 113 to their normal or non-displaced position.

If in the case of FIG. 1, the shift key 125 is activated in addition to the normal use of typewriter keys, the electrical contact pair 126 is closed, and in a similar manner electrical contacts 130 are closed when the patient key 127 is depressed. The effect of these contacts will become more clearly apparent in the explanation of the electrical switching arrangement with which the machine according to the invention is equipped. An additional set of buttons, the only function of which is to close electrical contacts when they are depressed, and which are used in an auxiliary keypad as shown in FIG. 6, will also be further elucidated when discussing the electrical circuits of the machine.

It is now assumed that a single key 53 is depressed and the one provided for driving the moving parts of the machine, e.g. B. electric motor lined with rubber rollers 93 and 96 in the direction indicated by the arrows in F i g. 1: Depressing the button 53 causes the button lever 54 to lower the end of the auxiliary lever 67 adjacent to it and to pivot it about the pin 70. The lowered end of the auxiliary lever 67 occurs between two balls of the key lock 69 and thereby prevents further keys from being depressed at the same time. The rearward other end of the auxiliary lever 67 is in engagement with the vertical bar 76 and lifts it so that the trigger 82 is made to pivot out and enables the yoke 84 supported by it to fall off. Thereafter, the roller 80 unlatches the bar 76 from the lever 67 and the spring 81 returns the bar 79 and the trigger 82 to the normal position. The fall of the yoke 84 frees the stop pin 90 from the finger of the ledge 92 so that the cam 87 can revolve when it encounters the rotating roller 93. The portion of the cam 87 which first engages the rubber roller 93 has a saw-like series of notches to ensure the instantaneous rotation of the cam 87 upon contact with the roller 93 .

The contour of the cam disk 87 is designed so that when it rotates, the yoke 84 carrying it is pivoted about the rod 85 and raised so that the front yoke part meets the lower end of the grooved bar 100 and also raises it. The bar 100 rotates the corresponding encryption bar 113 and its rod 105 and thereby brings one of the associated electrical switches to effect. Similarly, a combination of the character width encryption bars 113 is pivoted to operate electrical switches, and a single combination of character representation encryption bars is pivoted to operate their electrical switches. With the further rotation of the cam disk 87, the yoke 84 is lowered and placed on the trigger 82, which has meanwhile returned to its starting position. The stop pin 90 on the cam disk 87 then comes into engagement again with the finger of the bar 92. At this point in time, the grooved bar 100 engaging the encryption bars 113 is free so that it can return to its normal position under the action of the springs 114, which at the same time bring the adjusted encryption strips 113 back to their original positions.

If, instead of depressing the key 53 when the encryption strips 113 are in the non-shifted position, the shift key 125 is lowered in the same way, the same train of mechanical movements will take place with the only difference that the strips 113 intended for the character width have been shifted and a corresponding combination of encryption bars and associated switches is brought into effect.

Exclusion Calculator Any of the ones on the encrypted tab strip The characters to be displayed have a characteristic setting width, which is defined by a constant number of width units is determined. If you think of one Twelve-unit "em", each character becomes a characteristic width have a corresponding number of width units, which are derived from typographical Considerations with the character "M" result in a width of twelve units Has. It follows that a set line of an encrypted message is a Total number of width units, which is the sum of the widths of the characters corresponds to the line and width of normal interword spaces. At a excluded line with font is the number of width units from the first to the last character including these two characters be a constant value, d. i.e., for a photographic line typesetting machine a photographed line has a fixed number of width units between the left and right margins. If the spaces between words are a normal size, z. B. have three units, so is generally used when setting and encrypting of the characters in front of the right margin there is a free space, which goes from line to line Line changes and the spaces between words must be distributed in order to be excluded Line to get. The exclusion calculator provided in the machine according to the invention aims to determine this distribution. When executing the necessary Bills this device adds the characters' distinctive widths the line and the widths of the normal word spacing and subtracts the resulting Total of the number of width units available in the full line and distributes the rest between the spaces between the words. The ones corresponding to the exclusion value Information is then embossed in the register strip.

The translation from FIG. 1 is used to translate the character width specifications into degrees of rotation of a shaft. 7 to 10, similar to a round cage designed device 140, in which a cylindrical rotor 141 seated on a shaft 142 is provided with a series of radial slots distributed over its circumferential surface, which run parallel to the shaft 142 and in each of which a bar 143 is displaceable is. Each of the strips 143 has a nose 144 directed towards the shaft 142, which comes to rest on one side of the runner 141 when the strip 143 is displaced and thereby limits the displacement of the strip 143 parallel to the shaft 142 in one direction. A stop hub 145 wedged onto the shaft 142 acts to inhibit the lug 144 and thus the bar 143 in the other direction of displacement. In this way, the strips 143 can be adjusted in one or the other of two end positions on the runner 141 , which can be rotated with these strips in the hollow cylindrical bush 146 , which in turn is held on a stator plate 147.

On the stand plate 147, a two-armed, approximately vertical lever 152 is mounted in the one forked leg 151 of a U-shaped bracket 150 connected to the stand plate 147 to move the strips 143 into their limit positions (see FIGS. 9 and 10) whose other leg 151 ', which is also forked, serves as a guide for the lower arm of the lever 152 it encompasses: The upper end of the lever 152 carries an adjusting screw 153 as an adjustable stop in a block 154 welded to it, and this is opposite on the stand plate 147 a solenoid 155 is attached which, when energized, brings its slidable core 156 to act on the screw 153 and thereby pivots the lever 152 about its pivot 157 so that the lower end of the lever 152 comes into engagement with the adjacent end of the bar 143 and at its other end it pushes it out of the runner 141 until the nose 144 of the bar hits the adjacent side surface of the runner s 141 this movement of the bar 143 restrains.

The deactivation of the solenoid 155 causes the retraction of the core 156 so that a spring 160 acting on the lever 152 can return it to its normal or inoperative position, while the bar 143 remains in its advanced position. The shaft 142 supporting the rotor 141 is then rotated until the ledge 143 protruding from the rotor encounters a jamming block 161, whereby the shaft rotation is stopped. The blocking block 161, which loosely surrounds the shaft 142 and in which it can therefore rotate freely, is in a fixed position (see FIG. 8) by shock absorbers, such as. B. two tension springs 162 and 163, which act on arms 164 extending from the block and press one of these arms against an adjusting screw 165 guided in a shoulder 166 of an arm 167 of the stand plate 147. If, during the rotation of the shaft 142, a protruding runner strip 143 hits the block 161 , it will yield somewhat due to the elasticity of the springs 162, 163 absorbing the shock, but will be immediately pulled back into its normal position determined by the adjusting screw 165 .

A double-armed lever 170 is used to return the protruding runner bar 143 to its normal rest position, the arrangement and effect of which is similar to the lever 152 and how this is brought to act on the bar 143 by a solenoid overcoming the counterforce of a return spring 160 ' , but this moves in the opposite direction to the working stroke of the lever 152. The return of the projecting ridge 143 allowing further rotation of the shaft 142, is stopped again by another rotor bar 143 to this, which has been brought in the meantime to effect and impinges on the stop block 161st In each case, a runner strip 143 is not returned to its normal inoperative position until the next strip 143 has been advanced.

The in F i g. 8 to 10, which is designed similarly to a round cage, is shown in the example shown in FIG. 7 to an exclusion calculator for the summation of the width units given by the typed line or message. If, for example, it is assumed that the shaft 142 is in the beginning of the line and the first typed character has a characteristic width of seven units, then the seventh runner bar 143 is advanced out of the runner 141 in the manner described and the shaft 142 is pushed forward until it hits the The advanced bar is rotated onto the blocking block 161 and stopped at this point in time. Has the next typed characters, a characteristic width of four units, the corresponding solenoid is energized 155, which then advances the fourth runner rail 143, while the remote therefrom, pressed out in advance from the rotor 141 bar 143 is still in this position. After the second bar has been advanced, the bar that was adjusted first is returned to its normal position and the shaft 142 continues to rotate until the second bar meets the blocking block 161. This work cycle continues until all width specifications for a full line have been introduced. The character widths of all characters are summed up in the adding process; and depressing the space key 127 of the keypad of FIG. 1 for each word space results in the addition of three units to the units already summed up for each previous word.

The shaft 142 of the rotor 144 is shown in FIG. 7 is driven by a continuously rotating motor 171 via the belt 172 and the pulleys 173 and 174 as well as the clutch 175, which switches off in the event of an overload. The shaft 142 is rotated intermittently by an angle which corresponds to the information about the character width received from the encryptor. If a bar 143 protruding from the rotor 141 stops the rotation of the shaft 142 as a result of it hitting the blocking block 161 ', the coupling 175 starts to slide and thus allows the motor 171 to continue running the exclusion calculator is received, the shaft 142 is intermittently indexed in the direction of rotation.

The rotation of the shaft 142 is transmitted to a shaft 183 adjusting a pointer 184 in that the shaft 142, after passing through a bush 176, causes a worm 177 seated on it to rotate, which worm wheel 182 acts on the shaft 183. The shaft 142 also drives, after it has passed through a second bush 180 , by means of a gear transmission 181 via a releasable coupling 185, a second transmission gear 186, the large gear 187 of which is provided with a stop member 190 which is rigidly connected to it and its position presents an indication of the total character width indication received by the encryptor. The stop member 190 is hit by a projection 191 of a disk 192 which sits on the same shaft 193 as an exclusion drum 1194 and is therefore rotated with it.

The exclusion stream 1194 is driven by an electric motor 195, e.g. B. an asynchronous motor, driven by a belt 196 and a pulley 197, whereby the projection 191 of the pulley 192 and the stop member 190 of the gear 187 are held in contact with each other. The exclusion drum 194 accordingly follows the stop member 190 so that its angular position is determined by the position of the stop member 190 on the gear wheel 187, which is controlled by the summed width specification which comes from the encoder. As a result, the drum 194 is set to the added width specification.

When the indication for one line has been encoded and it is desired to begin the calculation of the indication for the next line, ie when a line begins, a solenoid 200 is energized and a lever 201 is pivoted about its pivot. The forked end of the lever 201 comprises the part 203 of the coupling 185 which is displaceable on a shaft 204, so that when the lever 201 is pivoted out by the solenoid 200, the coupling half 203 moves to the left into the position shown in FIG. 7 shifted position and the clutch 185 is interrupted. Simultaneously, the other end of the lever 201 rests against a shaft 205, whereby a friction clutch 206 is brought into action so that a motor 207 can drive the shaft 205 and a pulley 210 through a gear train 211 and the friction clutch 206. A belt carried along by the pulley 210 sets the gear 187 in rotation in a direction which is opposite to the direction of rotation in which the gear rotates when adding the width units, until (see FIG. 14) a nose 212 on the gear 187 to There is engagement with a pawl 213 on a disk 214 and thereby prevents further movement of the gear wheel 187. At this moment the device is in its initial position and the setting of the pawl 213 remains constant for a constant length of the line.

The adjustment of the pawl 213 is effected by a crank 215, which rotates the shaft 216 through a bevel gear 217, which causes the adjustment of the pawl 213 by means of a gear transmission 220, 221, the wheel 221 of which with the disk 214 carrying the pawl 213 connected is. The gear wheel 221 and the disk 214 can rotate freely on the common shaft 222 , and conversely, if the gear wheel and the disk are held in a fixed position, this can rotate freely in these two parts in order to return the device to its starting position. At the same time, the shaft 216 (see FIGS. 7 and 12) brings the pointer stop 224 into a fixed position through the worm gear 223. A graduation made on the edge surface of a disk on the shaft 216 is dimensioned so that si & twelfth of an "em" is indicated, and a circular graduation 226, arranged behind the pointer 184 and bearing the stop 224 , indicates "em". A fixed mark 230 works with the circular graduation 226 and a likewise stationary mark 229 with the cylinder graduation 225, and the two marks start from a common carrier lamella and, together with the divisions 225 and 226, make it easier to determine the width units when excluding the line. For example, if a fifty-em line is to be excluded, the crank 215 is rotated until the graduation mark 50 appears opposite the mark 230 on the circular graduation 226, thereby making the pawl 213 and stop 224 for the exclusion of a fifty-em line set. A locking pin 231 is then manually inserted into a grid plate 232 seated on the shaft 216 to prevent further rotation of the shaft 222 and thus secure the pawl 213 and stop 224 in place.

When the device according to FIG. 7 to 14 is to be started in order to initiate and carry out an exclusion calculation, a solenoid 233 is energized (see FIG. 7), which separates a friction clutch 234 so that a tension spring 235 can turn the pointer 184 back until its Movement is inhibited by its impact on the stop 224. The disconnection of the solenoid 233 causes the clutch 234 to close, whereby the pointer 184 is firmly connected to the shaft 183 again and can be indexed in accordance with the intermittent movement of the shaft 142. As the units of width are summed, the pointer 184 (see FIG. 12) approaches a division 236 which is sized to indicate the units of width, or em-twelfts, that are left on a line. If the pointer 184 plays over the division 236 and is to the right of a lamp 237 which is lit, this is a sign for the typesetter that the exclusion information can now be encrypted if desired. A plurality of lamps 237 lying in a horizontal row are provided, which light up one after the other from right to left when successive lamps are activated by the keypad 50 in FIG. 1 incoming interword information is received.

The exclusion statement is converted into electrical form by having a plurality of mechanical, adjustable, electrical switches 251 in one of the exclusion drums 194 of FIGS. 7 are arranged close to position, so that each of them, when a piston adjusting it hits a raised surface part of the drum 194 formed accordingly on its circumference, is brought into effect and an electrical signal is transmitted to the strip punch. All of these switches are mounted on a carriage 242 by which they can be moved relative to the lockout drum 194 which is rotatably guided in two storage stands. The elongated rectangular carriage 242, which is displaceable under the drum 194, runs on wheels 243, as shown in FIG. 15 shows. One bracket 244 (see FIG. 16) is pivotably attached to the two longitudinal sides of the trolley by means of a pin 245 and is held in a limit position by a spring 246, which is determined by a fixed solenoid 247 or 248 at the sliding core 250 of which it abuts. A plurality of mechanically adjustable switches 251 are arranged on each of the two pivotable brackets 244, and plungers 270, which bring them into action, are closely approximated to the surface of the drum 194.

When one of the two solenoids 247, 248 is excited, the associated bracket 244 is pivoted in a clockwise direction, and the plungers engaging the switches of this bracket are brought even closer to the surface of the drum 194. If the plungers 270 strike a raised part of the drum, the relevant switch 251 becomes effective, while the non-raised shaped parts do not cause the plunger to move a switch. The two solenoids 247, 248 can be energized simultaneously in order to bring the two brackets 244 and their switches into effect together. The excitation of the solenoids 247 and 248 also brings about a mechanically adjustable switch 249 (see FIG. 17), whereby the contacts 258 are closed and the contacts 259 are separated.

Like F i g. 15 shows, to achieve the displacement of the carriage 242 and the switches 251 provided on it relative to the drum 194 in the direction of the drum axis, a toothed block 252 is attached to the underside of the carriage, with which a pawl 254 is held in engagement by a spring 253 which is pivotable about a pin 255. A second pawl 256 meshes with the teeth of the block 252 and is pivotably mounted on one arm of an angle lever 257, which in turn is rotatable about a pin 260. A tension spring 261 holds the pawl 256 in engagement with the teeth of the block 252, and a spring 262 seeks to rotate the bell crank 257 in a counterclockwise direction about the pin 260 by engaging its other arm. A solenoid 263 presses, when it is excited, with its displaceable core on the arm of the angle lever 257, which is connected to the spring 262, and pivots it into the position shown in FIG. 15 position indicated by dashed lines. The lever 257 moves the pawl 256 to the right and thereby inevitably moves the block 252 and the carriage 242 by one step.

When the block 252 is switched on, the pawl 254 is pressed out of the block teeth, but is swiveled back into its blocking position by the spring 253 immediately after the end of the displacement step of the carriage 242. The carriage and the switches mounted on it are shifted in this way relative to the drum each time the solenoid 263 is energized, which receives power every time a word space character arrives from the keypad. At the end of a line, when it is desired to return the carriage 242 to its line start position, a solenoid 264 is energized, which then swings the locking pawl 254 through its displaceable core and, by means of an approach that engages over the switching pawl 256, also swings this out of the teeth of the block 252 and so the tension spring 265 enables the carriage to be returned to its normal position determined by a stop 266. Whenever the carriage 242 is moved one step further, a rotatable switch 267 (see FIG. 7) also experiences an adjustment by one contact step in order to switch the lamps 237 (see FIG. 12) one after the other in accordance with FIG Continuation of the car, ie to light up with the number of intervening spaces between words.

For a more detailed explanation of the mode of action of the main component of the exclusion calculator, in FIG. 18 shown in the settlement Drum 194 are first of all briefly those to be taken into account when setting a line Widths or Spacing 'Discussed: When a line message appears on is reproduced on a typewriter, a normal or unit spacing is used between the words and also between the last word of a line and the right-hand edge of the written sheet a space, the so-called Edge distance, leave. To an excluded line in the played message To achieve this, it is desirable to keep the band gap evenly across the inter-word spaces to distribute. In a photographic line setting machine, a full or excluded line is a specified number of width units, and the width of each character to be photographed is by one with the different Character changing number of width units determined. If you take the width units of the characters and the normal spaces between words is added, the margin becomes comprise a number of width units equal to the difference between the Number of width units in a full line and the sum of the characters in the line and the width units given by the normal word spacing, and furthermore, it is found that the number of width units in the edge distance is not is divisible by the number of spaces between words and therefore this division is not results in an integer quotient.

For example, if the edge distance is 47 units and there are six spaces between words, the quotient is the mixed number 75/8. Since it is desirable to measure the word spacing in whole numbers of width units, increasing every normal word space by 75/8 width units is out of the question. The division of the edge spacing is therefore done in such a way that each of the first five inter-word spaces is increased by 7-I-1, ie by eight width units, and the remaining inter-word space is increased by seven width units. In this example the quotient is given by the number? and the quotient remainder is given by the number 5, and the exclusion drum 194 now has the task of enabling the transmission of characters which represent a quotient and a quotient remainder after the strip punch.

The in F i g. 18 illustrated in one embodiment, for example The area around the exclusion streams1194 is intended to be used to generate a the excluded line to calculate the information required in the event that the Edge spacing is 48 or less width units and the number of spaces between words changes between 1 and 24, but for the less likely combinations within these limits the corresponding encodings on the drum are not are taken into account.

The drum 194 has on its smooth, cylindrical surface a number of groups of encryption elements in the form of raised, optionally arranged surface parts, which in each group in rows and columns, for example according to FIG. 18 in forty-eight horizontal and twenty-four vertical columns. Each group of raised surface parts is assigned an encryption reader, which (cf. FIG. 15) is given by a mechanically adjustable switch 251 that sits on a carriage 242.

The raised surface parts in the in F i g. 18 upper groups A to E, when they bring the mechanically triggered switch 251 to effect, Produce characters that represent a quotient of the type described. If the "reading" of the raised surface parts takes place in FIG. 18 from left to right, so when an area increase in the first group A a switch becomes effective brings about a character representing the value 1 and, if a raised surface part in the second group B adjusted a switch, a sign with the value 2, and in a similar way, when an area increase is applied of the third group C on a switch a value 4 illustrative and at Triggering of a switch by a raised surface of the fourth group D a dem Character corresponding to value 8 occur. The area increases of the fifth group E are designed to represent the value 16, but it is not for them Switch provided. When the various combinations of switches take effect These switches can have any value from 1 to in binary form 15 play. For example, if the switches are adjusted, which by the groups of area increases provided for the binary values 1, 2 and 4 can be influenced, this results in the value 7 as the sum of these binary individual values shown. The raised surfaces in the in F i g. Create 18 lower groups F to J. similarly characters that reproduce a quotient remainder of the type described, and since a switch is also provided for the fifth group J, the Area increases of the lower groups F to J a quotient remainder in the value of 1 up to 31 can be displayed.

With the exception of those shown in FIG. 18 group E located at the top right has accordingly, each group of raised surface parts of the drums1194 has one assigned to it Switch 251 on, the one to the right of the right column of area increases of him assigned Group can assume a starting or reference position. Which row of raised surface parts the switches are arranged is not directly from Importance, since this depends on the setting of the according to FIG. 14 provided pawl 213 depends. Whenever a character representing a word space from the encryptor received from and as a result, as described, the switch carriage 242 by one Is moved one step further, the switches are moved one column to the left. If there are seven spaces between words when encrypting a single line the car has to be carried seven paces further, and each of the one Switch 251 adjusting plunger 270 (see FIG. 16) is then opposite the corresponding seventh vertical column of area increases on the according to FIG. 18 trained Drum surface 194 stand.

The rotation of the drum 194 occurs in the manner shown in FIG. 18 direction indicated by an arrow. Each of the horizontal rows of raised areas represents a unit of width, so that if a character coming from the keypad and containing a character width specification corresponds to seven units of width, the drum is rotated further in the manner described by seven rows from a reference line which passes through the row of switch plungers 270 is given. The drum has in its practical dimensions a circumference of one hundred and four units of width, so that when characters for a total of one hundred and four units of width are in accordance with the one shown in FIG. 8 to 10 shown rotor 141 are guided by a round cage shape, will perform a full revolution. Therefore, if a full or excluded line is fifty "one" or six hundred units of width, the drum will make a certain number of revolutions. The pawl 213 (see FIG. 14) is set so that the in FIG. 18 horizontal zero rows, when six hundred width units have actually been added, come to stand opposite the switch plungers 270. If five hundred and fifty-two width units are summed up, the forty-eighth rows will be opposite switch plungers 270, and for a total of width units between 552 and 600 a corresponding horizontal row of raised areas will coincide with switch plungers 270 .

If characters for more than five hundred and fifty-two width units are received, the setter is indicated by a visual display, i.e. H. through the pointer 184 and lamps 237 (see FIG. 12), notifies that the end of the line approaches, and he can then finish the line and give the machine the option to calculate the exclusion. At this point the drum has the in Fig. 18 horizontal rows 48, 47 etc. opposite the reference line of the switch plunger 270 if an additional width unit is specified in the exclusion calculator is introduced and added. The pointer 184 and the division 236 show the row the drum in the decryption layer, which are the same in number with the remaining width units in front of the right margin. Be it now assume, for example, that more characters are introduced until the Edge spacing comprises 27 width units. The drum 194 then becomes its movement stop when their twenty-seventh, shown in FIG. 18 horizontal row opposite the switch plungers 270 is, while the carriage 242 is moved so far along the drum until all the switches are in the seventh vertical column. Arithmetically is with a margin of twenty-seven units and with seven spaces between words the quotient equals 3 and the remainder of the quotient equals 6, and the drum points according to F i g. 18 corresponding raised areas for triggering these values of switches supplying quotient and quotient remainder. General is the raised area pattern of the cylindrical drum chosen so that the quotient and the remaining quotient for various combinations of margin values and interword numbers can be calculated. For example, if the edge distance is forty-seven width units and there are six spaces between words in the line, the quotient becomes 7 and the The remainder of the quotient must be 5. The forty-seventh rows are opposite the switch plungers come to a standstill, and these in turn become opposite to the corresponding sixth Columns are brought into effect.

The drum has raised surface parts through which quotient readings for the binary values 1, 2 and 4 or for the sum of 7 of these values are, and also area increases, which quotient remainder switches for the binary Trigger values 1 and 4 or 5 for their sum. From similar calculations, which result in the assumed margins and spaces between words, is the whole Pattern of raised surface parts on the drum has been determined. It's on this Way possible, if desired, the suitability of the exclusion drum for the calculation of spaces to any value of the edge distance or to any number to expand from interword spaces. In general, this will be practical Size of the drum will determine the area of the exclusion calculations.

When using the exclusion calculator according to FIG. 7 to 18, the crank handle 215 is rotated until the divisions 226 and 225 show that the pawl 213 and the stop 224 to the desired line length, z. B. are set to 50 "on". This setting of the stop 224 controls the starting position of the pointer 184, which, if it is indexed further from the keypad in accordance with the width specification, approaches the division 236 until it has less than forty-eight width units left to complete the excluded line with the division coincides and immediately indicates the remainder of seven units in the edge distance. The setting of the pawl 213 is chosen so that the zero rows, when the exclusion drum is turned "on" for a full line or 50, the zero row is opposite the switch plungers 270 and the unit is not transferred to the strip punch for the quotient and the remaining quotient but that a correct symbol for the quotient and the quotient remainder is transmitted after the punch if the input from the keypad is stopped while there is still a margin and the pointer 184 coincides with the division 236 . In other words, this means that the setting of the pawl 213 can be thought of as determined by the fact that the exclusion drum is set so that its zero rows correspond to the rows of the switch plungers 270 , whereupon the drum backwards by the number of width units in the row, that is, it is rotated in the opposite direction to the direction in which it rotates when adding up the width information. After the stop 224 and the pawl 213 have been correctly inserted (cf. FIGS. 12 to 14), the locking pin 231 is inserted into the ratchet disk 232 in order to lock the division in the position selected in advance.

Before the introduction of characters which represent a width specification, the motor 207 is excited (see FIG. 7) in order to bring the nose 212 on the gear 187 into engagement with the pawl 213 . The motor 195 is also switched on in order to bring the exclusion drum 194 into its starting position in which the disk projection 191 is in contact with the stop member 190 on the gear 187. The character width information and the information about the normal word spacing are transferred to the exclusion calculator and the solenoids 155 of the cage-like rotor 141 (cf.Fig. 7 to 10) are excited one after the other in order to turn the rotor 144 step-by-step by amounts depending on the individual characters introduced .

The rotation of the rotor 141 is transmitted to the pointer 184 and causes it to progress intermittently from its starting position at the stop 224 to the division 236 . The rotation of the rotor 141 also causes a step-by-step rotation of the gear wheel 187 , whereby the nose 212 is moved from its starting position to the pawl 213 . When the width specification is added, the gear 187 can make more than one full turn, and in this case the nose 212 is free to pass over the pawl 213 which is hinged to the disc 214 so that the passage of the nose 212 therein allows one direction and prevents it in the opposite direction. As the width specification is added and the gear 187 and stop wheel 190 are rotated, the motor 195 is energized to keep the projection 191 of the disc 192 on the exclusion drum in engagement with the stop member 190 .

During the introduction of the width specification in the exclusion calculator, as many times as a space character has been received, the switch truck 242 is one step to the left, as shown in FIG. 7 and 15 show has been moved. In this way, the carriage has moved from a reference position at the far right end of the exclusion drum, in which the switch plungers 270 can be accepted in the zero columns, to a position in which the switch plunger is in a column which corresponds to the number of interword spaces is equivalent to. Thus, for example, if six interword spaces are received, the carriage will be shifted until all switch contacts are in alignment with their sixth columns. Furthermore, each time the carriage moves one step to the left, the rotatable switch 267 (see FIG. 7) is also moved one step further. The contacts of this switch control the successive lighting up of the switches shown in FIG. 12 illustrated lamps 237, which takes place from the lower to the higher marks of the division 236 out.

These processes continue until the pointer 184 moves past the zero mark of the graduation 236 past an illuminated lamp 237. This makes the typesetter aware that an exclusion mark can be calculated and transmitted after the strip punch. A mechanically adjustable push button switch is then depressed to complete the electrical circuits which (see FIG. 16) energize the solenoids 247, 248 which pivot the switches 251 inwardly onto the exclusion drum 194. When the plunger 270 of a switch 251 hits a raised surface part of the drum, the switch is activated and an electrical symbol is transmitted to the strip punch and recorded in encrypted form on the register strip as an exclusion symbol.

To prepare the calculator for the next line to be set, solenoids 263 and 264 are energized, allowing the carriage to return to its normal home or reference position. In addition, the solenoid 200 is energized, whereby the motor 207 is set in the position to bring the nose 212 on the gear 187 into its starting or starting position, ie to bring it into engagement with the pawl 213. In addition, the solenoid 233 is also excited, as a result of which the pointer 184 is freed from the shaft 183 and can be returned to its starting or starting position at the stop 224 by the tension spring 235. The exclusion calculator is then ready to introduce a width specification for a following line, and the entire working cycle is repeated in a similar manner for all lines of the message to be encrypted.

The exclusion calculator according to FIGS. 7 to 18 can also be in are used in cases where the character widths are not in twelve-em units, but after an eighteenth or some other fraction of an "em" amount Units are measured. All that is needed is the runner, which is designed in the manner of a round cage with one of the number of displaceable units equal to the number of units in an "em" Provided ledges and a corresponding number of solenoids acting on them to be arranged. It may also be desirable to change the calculation area to expand the exclusion drum, which in a correspondingly expanded application of the binary number system can be achieved.

Strip punch The character setting and encryption device, which converts the pressing of type keys into electrical symbols, and which Conversion of exclusion signals into electrical signs effecting exclusion calculators as well as the conversion of representations to be carried out in the photographic line setting Functions in electrical signs are completed by according to the invention a device which the electrical signs for generation of an encrypted register strip used to control a photographic Line typesetting machine is usable.

A total of twelve electrical signs are sufficient to produce the different characters used in photographic composition of ordinary messages occur by adding eight characters to play the Characters and four characters required for displaying the character width are. There are also two characters for the unit spacing or the letter spacing to be provided. A total of fourteen individual characters are therefore necessary, and naturally will generally be fewer than this number of characters at any point in time to be used. However, in the register strip must be provided with the characters Device making the ciphers by punching the through them continuous strip produced, provision must be made that a whole of fourteen punches is available to match the strip with punch the characters received from the keypad and the exclusion calculator to be able to. Furthermore, two additional punches must still be used in a manner known per se are provided, which for the generation of the usual incremental holes on the both edges of the strip are determined, which with the help of these holes through the Punching device and is passed through the photographic typesetting machine.

In the by F i g. 19 reproduced side view of the strip punch according to the invention, four electromagnets 280 are shown while in reality a total of fourteen electromagnets are present, each of which is for a punch is intended and which alternate in the form of a closed Unit are arranged. The magnets are provided in pairs and one behind the other lie alternately above and below the straight control rods passing between them 281. In general, several punches are used at the same time to to generate an encrypted character in the stripe.

Brackets 282 are attached to a stationary frame of the strip punch, each of which carries two angled magnet yokes 283 , on each of which two electromagnetic coils 373 are seated and with each of which a magnet armature 284 is pivotably connected. The two anchors of the two yokes 283 attached to the same bracket are held by springs 285 in an inoperative rest position, which is determined by bolts 286 with stop head extending from bracket 282 and freely penetrating them. The free ends of the armatures 284 are in contact with one end of the control rod 281 which extends between the electromagnets and which is longitudinally displaceable in a guide body 287 fastened to the bracket 282. The other end of the rod 281 engages one arm of an angle lever a 'which can be pivoted about the pin 291 and which rests with its other arm on an approximately vertical two-armed intermediate lever 292. A tension spring 293 holds the angle lever 290 in pawl-like engagement with the uppermost end of the lever 292, which is pivotably mounted in a stationary carrier 294 and is under the action of a spring 295 which pulls it towards the angle lever 290. A further intermediate lever 296 is articulated to the upper end of the lever 292 and, at its free end, is slidably guided in a holder 294 which is mounted in a pivotable trough 300 . A tension spring 305 holds the trough 300 in contact with a piston 301 arranged below it, which is vertically displaceable back and forth in a guide sleeve 302 by the action of a cam disk 303, to which a roller 304 mounted at the lower end of the piston 301 is spring-loaded 305 is pressed.

The cam disk 303 is keyed onto the main camshaft 306, which is driven by a friction clutch from a continuously rotating motor. The engagement of a nose 307 (see FIG. 21) provided on a claw 310 with one or the other of two projections 311 of a disc 312 seated on the shaft 306 inhibits the movement of the shaft and keeps the various parts in their neutral positions . The claw 310, which is pivotable about a pin 313, is under the action of a spring 314, which tries to pivot it in a direction opposite to the clockwise direction of rotation. A roller 315 mounted at one end of the claw 310 runs on a cam disk 316 and serves to return the claw 310 to its working position. The other end of the claw 310 engages a pivotable pawl 317, which is held in its working position by a tension spring 320 , whereby the lug 307 (see FIG. 19) engages with one of the two projections 311 of the disc 312 is held and rotation of the camshaft 306 is prevented.

On an adjusting screw 321 provided on the pawl 317, the Act armature 322 of an electromagnet 326, which is articulated with which the two cores 327 supporting magnetic yoke 323 is connected and by a spring 324 in a not effective, is held limited by a hook 325 overlapping it. To return the intermediate lever 296 to its normal position (cf.F i g. 19 and 23) a lever 330, which by means of the lever 292 on the lever 296 acts when a cam 332 (cf. FIG. 25) is attached to it Role 331 attacks and swings it out after an encrypted character in the Strip has been punched.

The punch 333 (see FIGS. 19 and 23) is arranged above the intermediate lever 296 and its movement is regulated by a guide member 334 . The strip 335 passes through a slot 336 in the guide member 334 of the punch which is moved upward to perforate the strip. A plate 337 returning the punch 333 to its lower position is attached to a swivel arm 340 , which in turn is connected to the trough 300 by a connecting rod 341 whose effective length can be changed. The plate 337 freely engages around the plunger 333 between two stops 342 provided on it and can therefore push the plunger back into its normal position when the trough 300 is returned to its starting position by the spring 305 . The plate 337 acts as shown in FIG. 22 shows all raised punches 333 during their lowering movement.

The strip 335 is advanced by an intermittently working pin roller 343 which engages in the perforations 345 which are punched out along the edges of the register strip (see FIG. 22). The pin roll 343 is connected to the shaft 346, on the well (see FIG. F ig. 24) includes a ratchet wheel 348 is seated, so that the stepping of the register strip is controlled by the movement of this wheel 348 into which a pawl engages 350 the gear 348 and thus the strip 335 drives. When the main camshaft 306 drives the cam 351 in the position shown in FIG. 24 rotates in the direction of the arrow, the raised part of the contour of the cam disk is pivoted by the roller 352, the lever 353 carrying it, counterclockwise around the bolt 354, whereby the double-armed lever 356 is rotated around the shaft 346 via the link 355. The pawl 350 articulated on the lever 356 is therefore pulled out of the one tooth groove of the wheel 348 and pressed into its next lower tooth groove by a spring 357. The head of the pawl 350 is conveniently shaped to facilitate rapid movement over the ratchet tooth therebetween.

When the roller 352 runs off the raised part of the cam disk 351, the pivotable levers 353 and 356 will be rotated in the opposite direction to the pivoting direction caused by the elevation of the cam disk, and the pawl 350 will index the gear 348 by one tooth. A spring 360 keeps the roller 352 constantly and reliably in contact with the contour of the cam 351, and swinging motion of the ratchet wheel 348 is shown in FIG. 26 avoided by the fact that the other end of the shaft 346 is provided with a ratchet wheel 361 , in the teeth of which a pin 362 of a lever 363 engages under the influence of a spring 364, which on the one hand avoids a return movement of the ratchet wheel 348 and on the other hand prevents it from moving in steps Rades is not prevented. In addition to the cam disks 332, 303, 351, the camshaft 306 carries (see FIG. 25) three further cam disks 365, 366 and 367, which are intended to activate switches 370, 371 and 372.

The strip punch according to FIG. 19 and 24 is controlled in its mode of operation by the electrical signals supplied and received by it. For simplicity, consider a single character and the energization of coil 373 in electromagnet 280 in FIG. 19 accepted. The magnet armature 284, pivoted by the excited coil 373 , moves the associated rod 281 to the right, which in turn pivots the angle lever 290 counterclockwise. As shown in FIG. 23 can be seen in more detail, the rotation of the angle lever 290 releases the lever 292 so that the spring 295 can adjust the lever 292 counterclockwise, whereby the intermediate lever 296 is shifted to the left until its free, flat end 374 in raised position immediately under the punch 333 and serves as a support surface for this.

The coils 326 are then excited, as a result of which (see FIGS. 19 and 21) the armature 322 is attracted and the pawl 317 is depressed. The downward movement of the pawl 317 enables the spring 314 to rotate the pawl 310 and release the tab 307 from locking engagement with one or the other of the protrusions 311 of the cam 312. The camshaft 306 is immediately set in rotation for half a revolution, so that the cam disk 303 lifts the piston 301 when its raised part engages under the roller 304 of the piston. The piston 301 then acts on the underside of the trough 300 in order to pivot it upwards and to lift all punches 333 resting on ends 374 of shifted intermediate levers 296. If an intermediate lever has not been caused to lift its end 374 and bring it under the associated punch, the pivoting movement of the trough 300 has no effect on this punch, since the intermediate lever 296, due to its downward deflection, does not interfere with the lower end of the punch Touch comes. When the roller 304 runs along the lower part of the contour of the cam disk 303 , the spring 305 is returned to its normal position and the plate 307 lowering all punches which have come into effect into their original position.

The cam disk 332 will then swing out the lever 330 in order to return the intermediate lever 292 to its starting position, and since the associated electromagnet 280 has been de-energized in the meantime, the angle lever 290 can also return to its starting position. All parts are then in their inoperative position before the pawl 317 moves into the position shown in FIG. 19 apparent position is pivoted back. The roller 315 of the pawl 310 follows the contour of the disc 312 and therefore overcomes the opposing force of the spring 314, so that it the pawl 310 into the position shown in FIG. 19 pivots back position in which the second projection 311 of the disc 312 comes into engagement with the nose 307 of the claw and this stops the rotation of the camshaft 306.

At this point in time, the coils 326 are de-energized, so that the spring 320 can turn the pawl 317 back into its normal position and hold the pawl 310 in its position which blocks the shaft 306. The movement of the camshaft 306 continues until the projection 311 of the disc 312 meets the nose 307 of the pawl 310. Before camshaft rotation is stopped, ratchet wheel 348 (see FIG. 24) is activated to advance the strip one step and thereby prepare for the recording and recording of a subsequent encrypted character. The relative times of indexing the strip, piercing the strip and returning the intermediate levers are shown in FIG. 31 can be seen.

For each punch 333, an electromagnet 280, a control rod 281, an angle lever 290, a first intermediate lever 296 and a second intermediate lever 292 are provided, as shown in FIG. 22 can be seen, while all the additional components of the strip punch, ie the trough 300, the piston 301, etc. are only present once for the entire device.

Electrical switching arrangement For controlling the various work processes, which are to be carried out in order to punch the register strip in the strip punch in accordance with those of the encryptor and the exclusion area perform the information supplied, the machine according to the invention has the in the F i g. 27-29 illustrated in one embodiment, for example Switching arrangement on.

Finally, in the case of the electrical switching arrangement according to FIG. 27 to 29 the following switch is still used: 1 SS line spacing step switch.

In order to start the machine according to the invention, the electrical circuits are first connected to an energy source through a switch (not shown) which is connected to the lines W 1 and W 2. A current path then results in FIG. 28 for the coil 3 F of the third set relay from the line W 1 via the normally closed contacts of the set selection pushbuttons FI, FII, FIII, FIV and further via the contacts 4F1 and the coil 3 F after the line W 2, whereby the contacts 3F1 , 3F2 and 3F3 are closed. Contact 3F1 brings 1SP via SRF relay and, as a result, 3SP relay via 1SP3. This closes 3 SP 1, 3 SP 2 and 3 SP 3. The closure of contacts 3F3 now completes a circuit in FIG. 29 for the coil 51P of the intermediate lever control magnet from the line WI through the contacts 3 SP 2, 3F3 and the coil 51P to the line W2. Contacts 3 F2 provide a circuit for coil TRS of the trip switch in FIG. 27 from the line W1 through the contacts 3 SP 1, 3 F 2 and the coil TRS to the line W 2 . The excitation of the magnet 51P brings an intermediate lever 296 (cf. FIG. 19) to prepare the punch 333 for the perforation of the register strip 335 to act. The energization of the coil TRS results in the displacement of the pawl 310 and enables the punch main camshaft 306 to complete one full revolution or one turn until the pawl 310 reengages with a protrusion 311 of the disc 312.

When the shaft 306 rotates, the piston 301 is raised in order, through the intermediary of the intermediate lever 296, to cause the punch to perform a working stroke and to punch the strip. During these processes, the first pulse relay 1 SP is activated by a device shown in FIG. 28 energized from the line W1 through the contacts 3F1, the rectifier RSF and the coil 1 SP to the line W 2 running circuit. The relay 1SP works with a delay so that it does not come into effect immediately after its coil has been energized, but after a short time interval. Moving the switch closes contacts 1 SP 2 and 1 SP 3 and disconnects contacts 1 SP 1. Contacts 3F1 have also completed a circuit for the second pulse relay 2SP, whereby contacts 2SP1 have been opened. The closure of contacts 1 SP 3 has a circuit for the third pulse relay 3 SP in FIG. 28 from the line W1 through the contacts 1 SP 3 and the coil 3 SP after the line W 2, whereby the contacts 3 SP 2 and 3 SP 4 are closed and the contacts 3 SP 1 and 3 SP 3 have been interrupted. A circuit for the lockout bar reset solenoid ERS is not established at this point, since the contacts 2SP1 have been separated before the contacts 1SP3 have been closed, which is controlled by a relay operating with a time delay.

The separation of the contacts 3 SP 1 interrupts the circuit for the coil TRS of the trip switch and enables the return of the switch to its normal position and the return of the claw 310 to the working position. The rotation of the main camshaft 306 of the strip punch is limited in this way to a working cycle or an angular adjustment of 180 °. Closing the contacts 3SP4 immediately creates a circuit for the coil 4SP, whereby the fourth pulse relay 4 SP is energized and the contacts 4 SP 2 and 4 SP 3 are closed and the contacts 4SP1 are separated. Closure of contacts 4 SP 3 completes a circuit for coil 4F of the fourth set of relay, and contacts 4F2 are closed and contacts 4 F 1 are disconnected, with contacts 4F2 forming a holding circuit for coil 4F. The opening of the contacts 4 F 1 breaks the circuit for the coil 3F, whereby all previously closed circuits are returned to their normal state in which the relay coils are de-energized and the relays themselves inoperative. The push button TAP in the upper part of FIG. 27 is in series with the spool TRS and is used to manually feed the tape through the perforator. When this contact is actuated, a circuit is closed via the coil TRS and the camshaft 306 is set in rotation to transport the tape through the perforator.

In normal keyboard operation, the pushbutton is not pressed, however, its use is inevitably required when e.g. B. when inserting of the tape in the perforator the position of the tape should be checked.

The two LSP switches are operated together as pairs of contacts on a single push button. They serve to make it easier to set the desired line length before the system is used for setting. When the push button is depressed, the tooth clutch solenoid TCS is energized, allowing the crankshaft 215 to rotate freely without having to overcome the friction of the bypass gear. At the same time, the pointer reset solenoid PRS and the carriage reset solenoid CRS are also energized, which ensures that on the one hand the pointer and on the other hand the carriage with the switches for the exclusion calculation are in the starting position. However, the circuit for coil 4F remains closed until a new set is selected for photographing. At this point, the circuit for the coil 4F by separating the contacts of one of the push-button switches FI, FH, FIII or F IV, z. B. the contacts FII b interrupted.

After the register strip has been punched, it is inserted into the punching device to be ready for the punching of a subsequent character. The character punched in this way becomes when it is in the photographic line setting machine has been decrypted, a specially selected font in location bring so that its characters can be photographed. This special character set can be referred to as main or master set and be a usually photographed sentence. However, several fonts can also be used displayed for selection by means of appropriate encryption on the register strips be.

After the electrical circuits have been connected to an energy source and a punctuation mark has been automatically generated in the register strip for the main or master character set, the typesetter depresses the connection push-button switch 7P. This switch 7P immediately creates a circuit for coil J of the lockout relay, thereby closing contacts J1, J2, J3, J4 and 15. The closure of the contacts J 5 immediately creates a current path for the coil MS of the machine function relay, whereby the contacts FM1 are separated and the contacts MF2 are closed. A current in FIG. 29 flow from the line WI through the contacts J5, MF2 and the coil TSP of the trip solenoid pulse relay to the line W2, the two coils being connected in parallel.

The relays TSP and TSPX operate with a time delay so that their contacts do not close or open immediately as required. The time delay introduced can be assumed, for example, of the order of magnitude of 5 milliseconds for the relay TSP and of 25 milliseconds for the relay TSPX. After the time delay for the TSPX relay has expired, the TSPX 1 contacts are opened and the TSPX 2 contacts are closed. The closure of the latter contacts creates a circuit for the coils 51P, 71P and 81P of the electromagnets 280 controlling the intermediate levers via the contacts J5, MF2, TSPX2 and the contacts J4, the rectifier 5RFb, and the coil 51P, the contacts J3, the rectifier 7RFb and coil 71P and further through contacts J2 and coil 8IP. The excitation of the magnets brings the intermediate levers 296 into effect (see FIG. 19) in order to prepare the perforation of the register strip 335 by setting the punch 333 on the intermediate lever 296 .

The time delays used are practically of very short duration, since they are only provided for the purpose of introducing a short pulse into certain circuits. Since the TSP relay closes the TSP 1 contacts 20 milliseconds before the TSPX relay disconnects the TSPX 1 contacts, a circuit is created through the contacts for the TRS coil and the coil for 20 milliseconds, i.e. until the contacts are disconnected TSPX 1 energized. The energization of the coil TRS for this short time interval enables the rotation of the punch main camshaft 306 for one cycle. As before (see FIGS. 19 and 23) the rotation of the camshaft 306 has the consequence that the piston 301 causes the displaced intermediate levers 296 to take their associated punches 333 with them as they move upwards and thereby to punch the strip. In the time in which the piston 301 is raised, the intermediate levers 296 are brought into action, even if the camshaft 306 has already started to rotate approximately 20 milliseconds before the intermediate members operate. The character punched in the strip in this way is referred to as a line termination character.

While the circuit excitation described is taking place, a second series of circuits is excited by the closure of the contacts 11, which produce a circuit for the coil 1J of the first exclusion relay via the contacts f 1, 4J2 and the coil 11 . Closing this circuit results in the closing of contacts 1J1, 1J2 and 1J3. Closure of contacts 1J1 establishes a holding circuit for coil 1J and contacts 1J2 energize the key mechanism lock solenoid LS, which prevents a key from being depressed while this series of circuits is in progress.

The F i g. 31 shows in the graph when the switches CC 1, CC 2 and CC 3 are brought into effect and enter the existing circuits and control their duration of action. F i g. 31 shows that the switch CC 1, when the main camshaft 306 is in the inhibiting position, which is denoted by 0 °, is brought into effect and its contacts are closed, while the two switches CC 2 and CC 3 do not work and theirs Contacts are separated. When the shaft has rotated a small angle, the switch contacts CC 1 are opened. As the shaft continues to rotate, the switch contacts CC 2 are closed, the contacts CC 3 also closed, the contacts CC 2 separated, the contacts CC 1 closed again and the contacts CC 3 opened, whereupon the rotation of the shaft in the designated 180 ° Position is stopped. The same sequence of switching operations occurs during the next shaft rotation of 180 °. As can be seen, one full revolution of the shaft 306 results in two work cycles or a sequence of switching operations. A full rotation of the shaft takes approximately 135 milliseconds, and the switching operations take place in the approximate times shown, although precise timing is not absolutely necessary.

As described, the excitation of the trip switch coil TRS has enabled the rotation of the main camshaft 306 for one working cycle and for the explained action of the switches CC 1, CC 2 and CC 3 . The initial closure of the contacts CC 1 is ineffective because the contacts 2J4 are separated; The normal closing of the contacts CC 2 is still effective because the contacts 3 J 3 and 213 are open. Upon rotation of the shaft, the contacts CC2a 3J4 1J3 come to close, thereby completing a circuit for the coil of the second 2J Ausschließungsrelais CC via the contacts 2a, and the coil is formed. The resulting closure of contacts 2J3 together with contacts 3J2 creates a holding circuit for coil 2J. The closure of contacts 2J1, 2J2 and 2J4 is ineffective at this point.

The subsequent closure of the contacts CC3 controlled by a cam disc is also ineffective during this working cycle of the cam disc. Another rotation of the cam to end the working cycle separates the contacts CC 2 a and closes the contacts CC 2, separates the contacts CC 3 and closes the contacts CC 1 again The action of the ratchet wheel 348 (see FIG. 24) is switched on. The processes occurring during a single working cycle of a cam rotation can thus be briefly summarized in that the register strip is moved one step further in the strip punch and then a character intended as a "line terminator" is punched in the strip. The relays 1J and 2J remain energized, and the former locks the keypad and prevents the depressing of buttons while these current sequences are being carried out, and the latter prepares further relay functions to be explained: When the contacts CC 1 closed near the end of the working cycle of the camshaft a circuit for the quotient and remaining quotient switches 1 Q to 4 Q and 1 QR to 5 QR has been created, whereby the parallel-connected solenoids 1 RS and 2 RS are excited via a circuit going through the contacts CC 1, 2J4. The excitation of these solenoids has pivoted the bracket 244 (see FIG. 16) inward so that the mechanically adjustable switches 251 arranged on them have come into close proximity to the exclusion drum 194. It is now assumed that none of these switches comes into contact with the raised surface parts of the drum 194 and, as a result, none of the switches is brought into effect. This sequence is important because, during normal operation of the machine, at this point in time certain intermediate levers 296 (see FIG. 19) are brought into action in order to prepare the perforation of an exclusion mark.

The excitation of solenoids 1 RS and 2 RS separates contacts RS 2 and closes contacts RS 1. The latter contacts constitute a circuit in FIG. 27 for the coil 3 J of the third exclusion relay from the line W 1 through the contacts RS 1, the coil 3 J and the contacts JTD 1 to the line W 2. Contacts 3J6 are then closed to form a holding circuit for coil 3J. The contacts 3J1, in conjunction with the contacts 2J1, since the relay 2J remained energized due to its energization during the first working cycle of the camshaft, complete a circuit in FIG. 27 for the coil TRS of the trigger switch in order to initiate a second working cycle of the camshaft. Contacts 3J3 are closed prior to the separation of contacts 3J2 and, as a result, a circuit is established for coil 2J in FIG. 27 through the contacts CC 2 and 3J3, before the circuit is interrupted by the contacts 3J2, so as to keep the coil 2J energized. The separation of contacts 3J4 is ineffective for this time. The contacts 3 J 5 form a holding circuit via the contacts CC 1 for the excitation of the solenoids 1 RS and 2RS.

When the camshaft 306 begins its second cycle, the contacts CC 1 are separated without a current interruption effect, since the parallel contacts 3J5 are closed. The strip is indexed one step through the punch. The contacts CC 2 are separated in order to interrupt the circuit for the coil 2J and thus return the relay 2J to its de-energized state and to disconnect the contacts 2J1, 2J2, 2J3 and 2J4. The immediate closure of the contacts CC 2 a is useless, since the contacts 3 J 4 are separated. The opening of contacts 2J1 breaks the circuit for the coil TRS of the trip switch. The separation of contacts 2J2 interrupts the circuit via the various quotient and remaining quotient switches. Contacts 2J3 open in an already broken circuit, and contacts 2J4, when opened, turn off solenoids 1RS and 2RS, thereby allowing pivoting brackets 244 and switches 251 attached to them to return to their normal position away from the exclusion drum. The disconnection of the solenoids separates the contacts RSl as a result of the parallel connection of the closed contacts 3J6 without current interruption effect and closes the contacts RS2, which then, together with the contacts 3J7, create a circuit for the coil 4J of the fourth exclusion switch in order to connect the contacts 4J1, 4J3, 4J4, 4J5 and 4J6 to close and contacts 4J2 to open. Closure of contacts 4J1 completes a circuit for coil JTD of the lockout delay switch. Since this switch is slowed down in its operation, the contacts JTD 1 are not separated immediately. Before they are opened, however, the following switching processes take place quickly: The contacts 4J2 interrupt the circuit for the coil 1J and thereby separate the contacts 1J2. The contacts 4J4 establish a circuit for the solenoid TCS of the toothed coupling 200 (see FIG. 7) which, as already mentioned in its description, transfers the exclusion calculator to the starting position for preparing the composition of a new line.

The closure of the contacts TCS1 is shown in FIG. 27 a circuit for the motor MA 1 , which returns the device to its line starting position. The separation of the contacts TCS2 in FIG. 27 interrupts the circuit for the motor MA 2, which drives the exclusion drum. Contacts 4J5 complete a circuit for the pointer return solenoid PRS and the carriage reset solenoid CRS (see numerals 233 and 264 in Figures 7 and 15, respectively) and this also returns the parts of the exclusion calculator to their original position. The contacts 4J6 represent in FIG. 27 establishes a circuit for coil 5J of the fifth exclusion relay through contacts 6J4. The closure of the last switch also brings the contacts 5J1, 5J2, 5J3 into mutual contact, of which the contacts 5J3 are parallel to the contacts 4J6 and thus result in a holder circuit for the coil 51 . The contacts 5 J 1 close in FIG. 27 a circuit for the coil TRS of the trip switch from the line W1 via the contacts 6 J 1, 5 J 1 and the coil TRS to the line W2. This circuit remains closed until contacts 6J1 are opened and interrupt it. The coil TRS is energized upon completion of the circuit to allow the main camshaft 306 to rotate for a number of work cycles to be completed.

Before the last switching operations are carried out, the piston 301 (see FIG. 19 and 23) is raised in order to pivot the trough 300 upwards and thereby punching the strip according to the shifted intermediate levers and so to be provided with an exclusion mark. Since the relevant switching operations to the creation of a register strip for use in a photographic Line setting machine and not aimed at photographic line setting itself, is not an exclusion mark and therefore no corresponding perforation in the Stripes present.

After the piston 301 has been raised, the contacts CC 2 a are separated and the contacts CC 2 are closed, without this having any effect on the other circuits. If, however, the contacts CC 3 are closed, a circuit in FIG. 27 for the coil 1SS of the line spacing step switch from the line W1 through the contacts CC3, 5J2 and the coil ISS to the line W2 closed. If the contacts CC3 are separated as a result of the further rotation of the camshaft and the coil 1SS is therefore switched off, the step switch 1SS comes into effect to move the brushes 1SSB from the output or inhibiting contact 1SSCH to the next contact, i.e. contact 1 SSC 1 bring to. 1 SS 2 represents a normally closed contact on the step switch 1SSA. When the brush has moved away from the master or output contact 1SSCH, contacts 1S.91 close, only to separate again when the brush reaches its output contact again. The trigger switch coil TRS is energized by contacts 6J1 and 5J1 , as noted, and remains energized, allowing the main camshaft to continue to rotate.

None of the circuits described so far is brought into effect during this rotation of the main camshaft, rather the step switch brush 1SSB is transferred to the next adjacent switch contact during each work cycle when the contacts CC 3 are closed and separated. During each of these work cycles, the strip is advanced by one step through the punch. Brush 1SSB may meet contacts 1SSC9, at which point a circuit is established for coil 6J of the sixth exclusion relay, disconnecting contacts 6J1 and 6J4 and closing contacts 6J2 and 6J3. Contacts 6J1 break the circuit for the coil TRS of the trip switch and allow the pawl 310 to be returned to its engaged position, in which it can stop further rotation of the camshaft. Contacts 6J2 establish a holding circuit for coil 6J, and contacts 6J3 complete a circuit for step switch coil 1SS via contacts 1SS1, 6J3, 1SS2. Contacts 6J4 interrupt the circuit for coil 5J and thereby return this relay to its normal position. The circuit established by the contacts 6J3 allows the switch 1SS to switch itself on until the brush I SSB arrives again in the master or output contact position 1SSCH and at this point in time the contacts 1 SS 1 open and inhibit further step-by-step movement of the brush. When this series of circuits is complete, the time delay contacts JTD 1 will eventually separate and break the circuits for coil 3J, 4J and 6J. These switches and their contacts return to the normal de-energized position. The interruption of the circuit via the coil 4J opens the contacts 4J3, which also, since the contacts 1J2 are already open, interrupts the current through the keyboard spear solenoid and enables the keyboard itself to be operated. The separation of the contacts 4J1 interrupts the circuit for the coil JTD and thereby in turn causes the closure of the contacts JTD 1. However, the circuits are all returned to their normal state.

Thus, when an exclusion pushbutton switch is depressed first a line terminator was punched in the strip, and then was the strip is advanced by one step to punch an exclusion mark, But that because no normal line setting has taken place and therefore none Exclusion was to be encrypted, not punched; the register strip rather, it was advanced nine steps and then inhibited in its movement. the The machine is now ready for the subsequent encryption message to be introduced.

The next measure required in the machine according to the invention for the production of an encrypted strip, e.g. B. one for use in a certain strip in a photographic line-setting machine, this is repeated Depressing the exclusion push-button switch JP. Then find the one described Successive circuits and switching operations recently and with the same Result instead. After the second end of the line is punched in the register strip is, this is ready to receive an encrypted message, which the photographically represents text to be displayed.

When describing the electrical circuits which during the normal composition of a line or of texts should only be excited a limited number of functions are explained as it is useful for understanding the invention will be sufficient if a used to represent a character Characters and a character representing a space as well as a character displaced in the Characters located in the position are described.

It is now assumed that the first pressed character key both encryption bars or encryption bars for adjusting switches 1 CB, 3 CB, 4 CB, 6CB and 8 CB for displaying the characters and encryption bars or encryption bars lOCB and 11CB for displaying the character width brings. At the same time, when these switches are activated, which are only triggered when a particular key is depressed, a universal switch UNS is also activated. This switch UNS takes effect every time a key is pressed. Closing its contacts immediately completes a circuit for the parallel-connected solenoid pulse relays TSP and TSPX. As already mentioned, these relays work with a time delay, ie the contacts on the TSP relay only come into effect 5 milliseconds after the TSP coil has been energized and the contacts on the TSPX relay only 25 milliseconds after the TSPX coil has been energized. Therefore, for a period of 5 to 25 milliseconds after the coils for the trip switch coil TRS have been energized via the contacts TSPX 1 and TSP 1, a circuit is established that triggers the claw 310 and the main camshaft 306 the possibility of a working cycle or an angle of 180 ° comprehensive rotation there.

When the relay TSPX comes into effect and the contacts TSPX 1 disconnects and the contacts TSPX 2 close, a circuit is established from the line W 1 through the contacts UNS, TSPX 2, SH 2 and the contacts 1CBb, the rectifier 8 RF and the the intermediate levers 296 working magnet 81P made to line W 2 . Similar circuits run first via the contacts 3 CBb, the rectifier 6RF and the coil 61P, second via the contacts 4CBb, the rectifier 5 RF and the coil 51P, third via the contacts 6CBb, the rectifier 3 RF and the coil 31P, fourth via contacts 8CBb, rectifier 1 RF and coil 11P. Circuits can also start from the line W 1 through the contacts UNS, TSPX 2, IOCB and the coils 101P and 2 W connected in parallel to the line W 2 and through the contacts UNS, TSPX 2, 11CB and the coils 111P and 3 W connected in parallel the line W 2 are made.

By depressing the finger key, the coils 11P, 31P, 51P, 61P and 81P acting on the intermediate levers 296 are energized in preparation for the operation of the punch associated with them when punching the register strip and for producing a character reproducing the characters. Likewise, the coils 101P and 111P, which likewise act on intermediate levers 296, are also excited in preparation for the work of the assigned to them and for the punching of the register strip as well as the achievement of a character representing the character width. While the intermediate levers 296 are shifted depending on the energized solenoids, the main camshaft 306 rotates. The first operation that occurs is the advance of the register strip and then the lifting of the piston 301 to perforate the strip and thus to achieve an encrypted character on the strip that corresponds to the character of the pressed key. When the punch has returned to its starting position, the intermediate levers 296 are also pushed back into their starting position, in which they are ready to receive the following character, which supplies the next pressed key.

In addition to the encrypted character representing a character, an encrypted character containing a width specification is also transmitted to the exclusion calculator, for which purpose the switches 9CB, 10 CB and 11 CB and 12 CB acting on the encryption bars are used. These switches provide circuits not only for the provided for driving the intermediate lever 296 to 121P 91P magnets, but also for the relay 1 width W to 4 W forth. Under the specified conditions, that is, when the pressed button causes the closure of contacts IOCB and 11CB and thereby the production of circuits for the coil 2 W of the second width relay and for the coil 3 W of the third width relay and thereby the closure of the contacts 2 W 2, 2W4, 2W5, 2W7 and 2W9 and the separation of the contacts 2W1, 2W3, 2W6 and 2W8, as well as the closing of the contacts 3 W 2, 3W4, 3W5, 3W6 and 3W7 and the separation of the contacts 3 W 1, 3W3 and 3W8 brings about, current paths can come about after the electromagnets of the cage-like rotor 141 of the exclusion calculator.

This cage-shaped runner 141 , by means of which the width units of the various characters and the normal spaces between words of a text line are summed up and which limits the rotation of the shaft supporting it in accordance with the introduced width specifications by means of bars which can be pushed in, can for example have thirteen sliding bars which are evenly distributed over its circumference and each of which an advanced bar meets a stop and thereby stops the shaft. The remaining twelve bars are arranged at equal intervals on the cylindrical surface of the runner, so that when a width specification with six width units is introduced, the bar that has just been advanced in the direction of rotation of the runner is the sixth following bar by excitation of the sixth bar adjustment solenoid 6E from the runner a piece is pushed out. When this coil is energized and the associated bar advances, the previously advanced and effective runner bar is moved back to its normal rest position, and the rotor shaft continues to rotate until the next protruding, ie the second bar that has been pushed forward, hits the stop. If the width specification that follows then comprises nine width units, the ninth strip adjustment solenoid 9E is excited in order to push the strip out of the runner in the direction of rotation of the runner after the bar that is currently effective, that is, after the bar of the solenoid 6E, out of the runner and to move it into the inhibited position. The bar previously advanced by solenoid 6E is then withdrawn to its normal position and the shaft continues to run until the newly advanced bar hits the stop. This process continues until all of the width units for a line of text have been added. In the case of the rotor of FIG. 10 is twelve, the highest number of width units that can be introduced at the same time, but this number is not a necessary limitation as it is only based on the preferably used twelve-unit system.

In order to provide electrical circuits that can differentiate between twelve different current paths, a binary number system is used, i.e. a relay with a binary number 1, a relay with a binary number 2, a relay with a binary number 4 and a relay with assumed a binary number 8. These relays are labeled 1 W, 2 W, 3 W and 4 W. The contacts of the various width relays are optionally connected to a branch circuit, so that when the relays 1 W and 2 W are energized, the strip adjustment solenoid 3 E receives current, whereby the width value 3 is shown. If the width value 7 is to be displayed, the relays 2 W and 3 W are energized to produce a circuit for the strip adjustment solenoid 7E. When the width value 10 is concerned, the relays 2 W and 4 W are energized so that a circuit for the solenoid 10E is completed.

If it is assumed that the relays 2 W and 3 W are energized, then these relays, which each reproduce the binary values 2 and 4, represent a total of the width value 6. If one creates a circuit from the line W 2 through the parallel contacts 2 W 4 and 3W7, the contacts 1 SP 1, 1W1, 2W2, 3W4 and 4 W 6, the result is an excitation of the coil 6E, and the exclusion calculator is activated by placing the slider bar, which is the sixth, on the This is followed by a bar that was previously pushed out and in the inhibited position in the direction of rotation of the rotor. This solenoid pushes something out of the rotor at one end. Contacts 2 W 4 and 3 W 7 create a circuit for coil 1 SP, but this relay works with a time delay so that its contacts are not closed immediately. After the delay time, which is sufficient to energize the solenoid coil 6E and advance a runner bar, the contacts 1 SP 1 are separated and the contacts 1 SP 2 and 1 SP 3 are closed. The contacts 1 SP 1 interrupt the circuit of the coil 6E. The contacts 1SP2 establish a holding circuit for the coil 1SP from the line W 1 through the contacts 4 SP 1, 1 SP 2 and the coil 1 SP after the line W 2 . The contacts 1 SP 3- complete a circuit for the reset solenoid ERS of the cage-like rotor 141, as a result of which the previously advanced rotor bar is moved back and thus the further rotation of the rotor shaft for the summation of the width specification last introduced is made possible. The circuit runs from the line W 1 through the contacts 1 SP 3, 3 SP 3, 2 SP 1 and the coil ERS to the line W 2.

The contacts 1SP3 also produce a circuit for the coil 3 SP, so that the circuit that has just been completed is almost immediately interrupted. The excitation of the coil 3 SP separates the contacts 3 SP 2 and interrupts the circuit of the coil ERS and closes the contacts 3 SP 2 and 3 SP 4. Closing the contacts 3 SP 1 has no effect on this switching process, unless a font change is carried out to which the contacts 3 SP 2 are also assigned. The contacts 3 SP 4 immediately complete a circuit for the coil 4 SP to separate the contacts 4 SP 1 and to close the contacts 4 SP 2 and 4 SP 3. The contacts 4 SP 1 interrupt the holding circuit for the coil 1SP. The contacts 4 SP 2 , like the contacts 3 SP 1 and 3 SP 2, can be considered for any change in the character set. Contacts 4 SP 3 create a circuit for coil 4 F, but a circuit for this coil has already been created by contacts 4 SP 3 when the electrical circuits were initially connected to the power source via relay 3 F etc. and furthermore the coil 4F is self-energized by its own contacts 4F2 at this stage of the working cycle. The interruption of the current path for the coil 1SP leads to the separation of the contacts 1 SP 3 and thus to the interruption of the circuit for the coil 3SP and further to the opening of the contacts 3 SP 4, which in turn switch off the coil 4 SP. In this way, the interruption of the holding circuit for the coil 1 SP prepares the current paths for the next character with a width specification, which is introduced when a second key is pressed on the keypad.

The circuits described so far illustrate the circuits which is partly due to the fact that a character key is pressed and a encrypted representation of the character is punched in the register strips, and partly on controlling the operation of the exclusion calculator, in accordance with each other with the width specification transferred after this. In the composition however, a line of characters must also have other functions and processes be carried out on the encrypted to be generated according to the invention Register strips have to find their expression. In this regard is particular the encryption of a character is important in the special case that the displacement or -Shift key is pressed on the keypad.

Depression of the Shift or Shift key 125 on the keypad of FIG. 1 closes the contacts SHC and thus directly establishes a circuit for the switching or shifting relay coil SH and the switching or shifting solenoid SS , which is connected in parallel with the coil SH. The excitation of the relay coil SH results in the closure of the contacts SH1 and the opening of the contacts SH 2. The excitation of the solenoid SS leads to the fact that the encryption strips for the indication of the width are transferred to the already mentioned second advanced position.

The excitation of the changeover relay SH makes itself in terms of the effect of the switch 1CB when depressed; 3CB, 4CB, 6CB and 8CB triggering finger button to the effect that the same current closure processes take place as before, but that now the current paths for the magnetic coils acting on the intermediate levers from the line W I via the contacts UNS, TSPX 2, SH 1, MF I, SB 3 and then via the parallel branches 2 CBa, 7 RF, 71P and 5 CBa, 4 RF, 4 1P and 7 CBa, 2RF, 21P to the line W2. Therefore, when a finger key is pressed, the encrypted character for the unshifted, i.e. not switched, character will include the punched holes in the register strip, which are assigned to the solenoid coils IIP, 31P, 51P, 6IP and SIP that act on intermediate levers, while the encryption character for the shifted or switched characters is given by the punched perforations of the `strip, which are assigned to the additional intermediate lever adjustment solenoid coils, ie the coils 21P, 41P and 71P.

As a further example, it is assumed that a pressed finger key with the shift or shift key not lowered causes the solenoids 21P, 41P, 51P and 71P provided for the intermediate levers to be excited an energization of the solenoids 11P, 31P, 6IP and 81P. Now, as is apparent from the description of the composition and encryption device, when a single character key is depressed, the same character detection encryption bars are shifted regardless of whether the shift key or the shift key is depressed is or is not depressed, and each of this character detection serving encryption strips activates a switch, which is a single-pole double changeover switch, the contacts of which are either normally closed contacts (see, for example, the contacts I C Ba) or as normally open contacts (cf. for example the contacts 1 CBb) are effective. If the shift or shift key is not pressed, the circuits run over the normally open contacts of the activated switches, while when the shift or shift key is depressed, the normally closed contacts of the switches that have not been activated are used for the path of the electrical circuits.

For the purpose of identifying the characters, each of the solenoid coils IIP, 21P , etc. acting on intermediate levers can be regarded as having a binary numerical value. The coil IIP has e.g. B. the value 1, the coil 21P the value 2, the coil 31P the value 4, the coil 4IP the value 8, the coil 51P the value 16, the coil 61P the value 32, the coil 7IP the value 64 and the coil 8IP has the value 128. The sum of the binary numerical values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 is 255. If you choose the number 180, for example, the complement for the sum 255 is 75, and for z. B. the number 67 results as a complement 188 to the sum 255, and in general the sum of the complementary numbers is always 255, ie always equal to the amount obtained by adding the assumed binary values.

In this way, if the encryption bars for a particular finger key cause the coils 11P, 3IP, 41P, 61P and 8IP to be energized, the individual character represented thereby can be considered to correspond to the binary value of 173. If the finger key is pressed simultaneously with the shift or shift key, the additional coils 21P, 51P and 71P are energized and the character in the shifted position therefore has a binary value of 82. It follows that the binary value of a character in the shift or shift position is the complement of the binary value of a character in the non-shifted position.

The encryption bars provided for the width specification are shifted when the Shift or Shift key is pressed, which can result in a width character that is different from the assumed one. This simply means that instead of the assumed closure of switch contacts IOCB and 11CB, contacts 2CB have been closed, that is, the "shifted" character has a width of eight units of width, while the "unshifted" character has a width of six units of width. The circuits that have to be established in order to punch the new character representing eight units in the register strip and to transmit it to the exclusion calculator for the excitation of the solenoid coil 8 E provided for this are similar to the current closures and current paths established in the previously assumed case.

The next function of the machine according to the invention to be considered is the depression of the space key of the keypad, which closes the width bar contacts SBC, whereby the width bar relay SB (see FIG i g. 28 and 29 to close the contacts SB 1, SB 2, SB 4 and SB 5 and to open the contact SB 3. The contacts SB 5 represent according to FIG. 29 shows a circuit for the solenoid CSS which switches the carriage 242 step by step and which moves it one step further together with the switches 251 (cf. FIGS. 15 and 16) located on it. Each switching step of the carriage and the contact brush STLB (cf.. F ig. 27) mechanically incrementally moved by a linkage connection with the carriage to close the successive contacts STLC, whereby in each case the illumination of a Breitensummierungslampe is caused, the optically the number which shows spaces between words in a set line.

The contacts SB 4 and SB 1, on the other hand, provide a circuit from the line W 1 through the contacts SB 4 and the rectifier 2 RSF in FIG. 29 and via the contacts ISP1, SB1 and the magnetic coil 3 E in FIG. 28 to the line W 2, whereby three width units are added to the previously summed units in the exclusion calculator, since three width units mean a normal word space. This latter circuit, ie the circuit running via the contacts SB 4 and the rectifier 2 SRF, also causes the coil 1 SP to be excited with the effects triggered by it, as shown in FIG. The cycle of switches 1 SP, 3 SP, 4 SP that occurs when any latitude is introduced into the solenoids associated with cage-like rotor 141 simply limits the time of energization of the solenoid circuits upon receipt of the individual latitude character.

The contacts SB 4 close in FIG. 29 also a circuit through the rectifier 1 SRF for the coils TSP and TSPX connected in parallel. As before, the creation of these current paths resulted in the excitation of the trip switch coil TRS (see FIG. 27) and enables the main camshaft 306 to rotate to carry out a work cycle. Furthermore, the contacts TSPX 2 in FIG. 29 shows a circuit for the excitation of the magnet coils provided for intermediate levers 296. The depression of the space key has the transfer of a character to the solenoid 71P in FIG. 29 from the line W 1 through the contacts SB 4, the rectifier 1 SRF, the contacts TSPX 2, SB 2 and the coil 71P after the line W 2 result. In this way, a word space character comprises a single perforation in the register strip which is produced by the punch associated with the magnetic coil UP.

Except for the encryption of a "moved" or a "not." shifted "characters or a word space character provided circuits there are other circuits for other characters that are encrypted be to the automatic implementation of various in the photographic Line up necessary actions in accordance with on the register strip to control punched encrypted holes. Furthermore, the push buttons, which are used for the transfer of a character after the strip punch, arranged in the auxiliary keypad that is shown in FIG. 6 can be seen.

When a line is completed in the typewriter, the exclusion push button JP (see FIG. 29) is depressed. The same, already described circuits are then brought about by the corresponding switching processes to create and operate, ie a line terminator is punched in the register strip and immediately afterwards an exclusion mark. If there were no preceding characters representing characters on the strip for a line of text before lowering the push button and therefore the exclusion switches 251 (cf.Fig. 16) have been pivoted towards the exclusion drum 194 , none of these switches encounters a raised one Area on the drum, and consequently no exclusion mark appears on the register strip.

However, if there is an exclusion mark on the strip when the switches 251 are swung out towards the drum 194, one and the other of them will come into effect, whereby when the relay 2J is energized, FIG. 27 shows a circuit in FIG. 29 also connected in parallel from the line W 1 through the contacts 2J2 and the mutually parallel switch 1 Q to 4 Q and 1 QR is made to 5 QR and the acting on the intermediate lever 296 solenoid 1IP made to 9IP and thus a Ausschließungszeichen is generated in the register strip. As before, immediately after the exclusion mark has been punched, the register strip 335 (see FIG. 22) is indexed by nine steps by the pin roller 343 without any character being introduced into it.

For a better explanation, the remaining characters are divided into two groups to be considered separately. The first group includes the width indication characters, which are produced by pressing one of the pushbutton switches 1 USP, 2 USP, TSP, NSP and MSP, which have a unit of width, two units of width, a narrow space of three units of width, i.e. a normal space between words - one Generate a spatie of six units and an em spatie of twelve units.

The push button 1 USP for a unit of width, when pressed, closes a circuit for a first relay 1 US assigned to the unit of width and thereby brings the contacts 1 US 1, 1 US 2 and 1 US 3 in FIG. 29 or 28 to the effect. The contacts 1 US 1 directly produce a circuit for the solenoid 131P acting on the intermediate lever 296. The contacts 1 US 2 and 1 US 3 result in FIG. 28 a circuit for the second solenoid 1E provided on the exclusion calculator from the line W1 through the contacts 1 US 2, 1 SP 1 and 1 US3 as well as the coil 1E after the line W 2. A circuit for the coil 1 SP is established by the closure of contacts 1 US2 completed. The relay 1 SP and the relays 3 SP and 4 SP come into effect and limit the time of the transmission of the width information according to the solenoids assigned to the cage-like rotor 141.

As can be seen, the width information transmitted by the depressed pushbutton switch 1 USP is added to the width information previously summed up in the exclusion calculator. The depressing of the push button 1 USP does not result in the energization of the coils TSP and TSPX for the indexing of the register strip in the punch. Therefore, the width characters are encrypted immediately next to another character and in a line with it. In this way the typesetter can, if so desired, have two characters with a unit of width follow one another by first pressing the key for the first character and then the key for the unit of width and then the key for the second character. The width unit character will appear opposite the character for the second character. Depression of push button 2 USP has a similar result except that solenoid 14IP is energized and solenoid 2E receives power.

When the push button TSP provided for the narrow space or the normal space between words is depressed, the relay TS assigned to this space is immediately energized, whereby the contacts TS 1, TS 2 and TS 3 are closed. The contacts TS 3 complete a circuit for the coil MF, whereby the contacts MF separates overall 1 and the contacts MF2 be closed. The closure of the contacts MF2, in conjunction with the contacts TS3, completes a circuit for the coils TSP and TSPX, as a result of which the camshaft is released for rotation to carry out a working cycle as previously described. The closure of the TSPX 2 contacts is completed in FIG. 29 a circuit for the parallel conduction paths with the contacts TS 1, the coils 1 W and 91P and with the contacts TS2 and the coil 2 W and 10IP.

When the push button provided for the narrow space or the normal space between words is depressed, the main camshaft 306 is rotated to carry out a work cycle and to advance the tape, the character in the register strip being punched out by itself and the indication after the solenoid 3 E for adding three width units is transferred to the already added latitude units. Similarly, the push-button switches NSP and MSP cause characters corresponding to en = space and em-space to be encoded in the register strip, causing the cage-like runner to add six and twelve width units into the exclusion calculator.

The second group of characters can generally be called "machine function cc characters, since it includes characters used to delete lines, stop the machine, and fill in the line to the left. If a line is to be filled in after it has been set, the left fill push button switch QLP is depressed, whereby the left fill relay QL is applied directly to the lines W1 and W 2 and therefore the contacts QL1, QL 2, QL 3, QL 4 and QL 5 must be closed. The contacts QL 5 produce a circuit for the coil MF, whereby the contacts MF1 are separated and the contacts MF2 are closed; and the latter then create a circuit for the coils TSP and TSPX, whereby the main camshaft is released for the implementation of a single cycle or half a revolution. The separation of the contacts MF X. prevents the formation of a circuit for the solenoid coils acting on the intermediate levers, through the displacement contacts 1CBa etc. After the closure of the contacts TSPX 2 , a circuit in FIG. 29 for the coil 81P can be established by the contacts QL 2 and the rectifier 8 RFb, while a circuit for the coil 61P is closed by the contacts QL 3 and the rectifier 6 RFb and furthermore a circuit for the coil 5IP by the contacts QL 4 and the rectifier 5 RFb is formed.

As can be seen, a fill-in symbol thus comprises perforations which are produced by the punches assigned to the coils 51P, 61P and 8IP. Quite similarly, the symbol for the line erasure will comprise a strip perforation which is produced by the punch belonging to the reel 81P, and the machine inhibition symbol consists of a strip perforation which is produced by the punches controlled by the reels 5IP and 61P. The first contacts of the various function relays, ie the ones shown in FIG. 27 parallel-connected contacts QLl, LE 1 and SM 1 each immediately complete a circuit for the first exclusion relay coils 1 J in order to initiate a sequence of exclusion circuits in the manner already described. During this circuit sequence, the exclusion switches 1Q through 4Q and 1QR through 5QR are pivoted forward onto the surface of the exclusion drum, and as a result some of them are likely to be activated. The character thus obtained will be irrelevant after a pushbutton switch dedicated to left filling and line erasure is depressed, and the photographic pickup device must therefore ensure that it is ignored.

Another machine function to be considered is the change of fonts. As already mentioned, a character indicating a normal or master character set can be provided on the register strip, so that usually a certain character or type form is used as the basis for the photographic line setting. However, it is often desirable to change the type set in order to e.g. B. to use italic or bold type instead of ordinary writing. For this purpose, characters can be provided on the register strip, which indicate the various sentences of a sentence plate in encrypted form. Furthermore, sentence selection pushbuttons FI, F 11, FIII and FIV are designed so that they are held in the working position for a moment or locked in this position.

When the set push button switch FI is depressed, a circuit is obtained for the first set relay 1 F in FIG. 28 from the line W 1 through the contacts FI a, 2F1 and the coil 1 F to the line W 2, whereby the contacts 1 F 1, 1F2, 1F3 are closed. The contacts FIa also close a circuit for the solenoid RS, which brings about the switching of the typewriter tape, so that the typed identical piece of the text to be encrypted printed on it in a different color as visible evidence of the choice of a different set for photography than the normal set appears.

Contacts FI b interrupt the circuit for coil 4F, which returns the relay to its normal de-energized position. The contacts 1 F 1 directly produce a circuit for the coil 2SP for separating the contacts 2SP1 and a circuit through the rectifier RSF for the coil 1SP, which immediately initiates the work cycle of the processes for the coils 3SP and 4SP. The circuit for the solenoid coil ERS is prevented from closing by separating the contacts 2 SP 1. A current path for the trip switch coil TRS is shown in FIG. 27 closed by contacts 3SP1 and 1F2, which enables the main camshaft to rotate for the execution of a single further cycle. A circuit for the solenoid coils associated with the intermediate levers is shown in FIG. 29 from the line W1 through the contacts 3 SP 2, 1 F 3 and in two parallel branches on the one hand via the contacts FIc, the rectifier 6RFa, the coil 61P and on the other hand via the contacts FI d, the rectifier 7 RFa, the coil 71P the line W 2 established.

In this way, the character representing the sentence 1 includes perforations in the register strip generated by the solenoids 61P and 71P. In the sequence the circuits close while the push button F1 remains depressed, contacts 4SP2 provide a current path for coil 2F, which runs as a holding circuit via contacts 2F2. The contacts 2F1, which are separated interrupt the current path for the coil 1F, in order to put its contacts in the normal To take position. The current paths remain in the described state until the Push button FI is released, whereupon circuits are made to a trunk or To bring out the starting punctuation marks on the register strip.

As can be seen, the described current paths can also be formed with the aid of the pushbutton switches FII, FIII or FIV when one or the other of them is pressed in order to give a character for one of the other fonts. The character for font 1I will have perforations which are produced on the register strip by the stamping dies controlled by the magnetic coils 61P, 71P and 81P, and the character for font III will likewise comprise perforations which are made on the register strip by the the stamps associated with the solenoids 51P and 71P are produced, while the character for the font IV consists of holes punched out by the stamps associated with the solenoids 51P and 81P. Mode of Operation The production of a register strip with an encrypted representation of the text to be photographically set is carried out in the machine according to the invention as a function of the operation of the keypad of the typewriter 50 in FIG. 1. When the electrical equipment of the machine is connected to an electrical energy source, a character is immediately encoded on the register strip 335 (see FIG. 22) which reproduces the standard or normal character set which is usually in the working position. The typesetter now depresses an exclusion button, which causes a line terminator to appear on the strip immediately following the punctuation mark. The strip is indexed through the punch by an arbitrarily assumed but fixed distance and then stopped.

The typesetter then presses the exclusion button again with the same result as the first time this button was pressed, i.e. i.e., a line terminator is created on the strip, and it moves anew by one step continues and then stops. These operations proceed from encrypting the Text ahead, and in the case of the creation of the punctuation mark, it is simple an auxiliary measure that saves the typesetter the necessity, which is normally the case to be used for recording the text in the photographic line typesetting machine Having to choose a font. The spaced-apart line terminators on the other hand provide a convenient means of synchronizing the strip advancement movement at the output side of the photographic line typesetting machine, which is driven by the encrypted strip should be controlled.

The typesetter then begins typing the on the strip encrypting text on the typewriter, and pressing each one down Character key, a corresponding character appears encrypted character on the register strip, and so are the spaces between the words in the form of encrypted characters in accordance with the use of the space key the typewriter reproduced on the strip. The encrypted characters follow one another on the strip in the same order in which the Typesetter who creates characters and spaces on the typewriter. Characters that represent characters are strung together until the optical Display device on the exclusion calculator, d. H. the pointer 184 and the Word space summing lamps 237 of FIG. 12 point out that a line is completed and can be excluded, whereupon the typesetter depresses the exclusion button. This will end the line indicative sign followed by an exclusion sign and a row by the automatic, step-by-step advancement of the strip punched out spaces caused by the hole punch on the register strip.

When the encrypted line to be set on the strip in one Paragraph is the last line, the typesetter prints instead of the exclude pushbutton To use the fill-in button down to a fill-in mark on the strip to produce by punching. This fill-in mark follows the last one Character representing characters, and it is followed by another through the effect the exclusion switch and a set number of spaces to emerge brought sign. This character that comes after the fill-in character is without effective meaning and is used in the case of the encrypted strip too. controlling photographic compositor ignores it, but it gets on the tab not omitted for the reason that otherwise the electrical circuits will be excessive get tangled and there is an easier means of bypassing the character in the photographic line typesetting machine is.

With the operation of the various push buttons and the Machine-written reproduction of the text to be encrypted are the measures exhausted, which the typesetter has to carry out when it comes to a simple one Encrypt paragraph with normally written text. On the other hand, it is with the one to be encrypted The first word of the text paragraph is not indented, so you only need the push button for the normal word spacing the "en" -Spatie or the "em" -Spatie to trigger the character keys to be pressed.

Certain machine functions can be done in this way on the tab be encrypted so that they operate the photographic line-setting machine under the control of the strip completely independently. For example, if you wish is that certain parts of the text to be set using a font with characters of a different typeface or style from the photographic one Line typesetting machine is recorded on your film, the typesetter presses a sentence select push button before going into the typesetting machine with different styles or pressures to be played back Typing characters on the typewriter. As long as this push button is in the lowered position Working position is maintained during the production of the register strip, as long characters from the selected character set are saved in succession in the line typesetting machine controlled by the strip. if the set selection pushbutton is released again, appears again on the Strip the character for the base or normal character set so that the with the typesetting machine operated by the strip all other encrypted characters taken from this sentence and photographed.

It can happen that the typesetter, if he is to encrypt the Typing text on the typewriter and thereby the corresponding encrypted Punched out characters on the register strip from the typewritten received Paragraph of the text shows that he has made a mistake. In this case he immediately presses the delete-line button to put a delete-line mark on the strip to generate an exclusion mark without meaning and a fixed one Number of empty spaces follows. This line separator is used in photographic Line typesetting machine have the effect that the containing the faulty line Part of the register strip is quickly indexed through the typesetting machine, without allowing a photograph of the line. However, the line typed in their entirety and encrypted on the register strip.

The machine can also be another machine function symbol arresting inhibitors are encoded on the register strip. If this Characters in the photographic line-setting machine on the tax strip to effect comes, it automatically prevents further photographic text reproduction and stops the running of the machine so that whatever is required on it. Measure, such as B. changing the lens system to achieve a different point size of the photographed characters. During manufacture of the register strip by the machine according to the invention is the setter when he on the register strip when encrypting to the end of the in a certain Dot size in the line typesetting machine for photographing. Text comes, the machine lock push button Press down to punch a corresponding stop mark on the strip. In a similar way, the typesetter on the register strip can also do any generate another encrypted character that is any of the photographic Line typesetting machine represents the function to be performed.

In particular, the machine according to the invention can also be in one of The form deviating from the example can be carried out. For example, the mechanical Key mechanism by an electrically operated, appropriately supplemented typewriter be replaced or the exclusion calculator or the strip punch in a other design.
