such a strip.

Patented in the German Empire on October 25, 1903.

The invention relates to stencil strips for the production of excluded lines, as they are often used in the art of book printing. When producing print lines, it is desirable to have excluded, closed lines, i.e. lines of the same length, which, as is known, is done by increasing or decreasing the spacing between the words _:

ίο that words and spaces are reduced together occupy the available column width.

The new method for achieving such an exclusion of the letter lines, on which the present invention is based, but not the subject of the invention is, consists in first choosing the characters that should belong to the line determined, as well as the average size of the word spacing, which under ordinary Conditions would fill the line, and that one would then use those shown in such a line Separate words by spaces of certain width units by using the unit fractions, if they remain, hold back until they form a unit, and then connects the accrued unit -with the next exclusion. Not used Fractions, if they remain at the end of the line, are ignored.

That way, the lines are always completely excluded, and it's easy possible, improvements through characters or exclusions in normal unit ■ wide to achieve. This process is used in the printing trade The commonly used perforated register strips, namely the type described in more detail below is best suited.

A number of devices are already available for producing perforated register strips became known, but these machines required special handling on the keyboard of the machine or otherwise provided keys for reading out or moving the exclusion marks and also the handling of other special keys for influencing the hallmark, the marks the strip with symbols indicating the end of the line. So it was at all these machines left completely to the worker, the necessary devices to cause an error made by the worker to show up on the strip in the generated line.

In contrast, the new machine does all this work completely automatically. She alone selects the hallmark or hallmarks that are used to produce the exclusion holes must be moved, and affect

automatically flows the self-read counters at the desired moment and provides them also automatically the strip with the representation of a line end. For none of the A button is struck on the new device for these purposes rather take place on the side when the paper sled returns used typewriter automatically, so that

ίο the worker is not mindful of these things needs to be.

The register strip must be suitable for the manufacture, the typesetting, the embossing or the To influence printing of a large number of different characters. Kind of around how to achieve this is described below. The preferred strip used, the 38, 39 and 41 of the drawings is shown with openings for selection

of the characters, openings to determine the spaces between the words, openings to compensate for the spacing and openings to break off the lines of the characters which are to be produced, set, embossed or printed. the second-mentioned openings (b, Fig. 38), which can lie on the line 2, as their object, the selection of the devices for inserting the word spacing (Wortabstandslochungen). the third-mentioned openings ( e ⁷ , Fig. 38), which result in units and fractions and which can also lie on lines 3-9 and 13-21, are intended to exclude the line; and the openings mentioned in the fourth place (c, in Fig. 41 with 12) are used to set the printing device in the initial position to start a new line of letters (line end holes).

In addition, the strip can be provided with openings α α (1 and 22 in FIG. 41) in order to advance the strip in the printing, typesetting or type casting machine in which it is used (guide holes). In order to explain the production of the register strip in detail, the English sentence: "the work is good" is chosen as an example. It is assumed that this sentence is to be set in a line determined in advance to be sixty units long and to fill the line completely. It will now be found that the letters of this sentence contain forty-four units of width and that there are three word spaces. The normal width of each space should be assumed to be three units, so that the total sum of the letter and word spacing units results in fifty-three units, which are distributed as follows: letter t three units, letter h four units, letter e three units, word spacing three. Units, letter w five units, letter 0 three units, letter r three units, letter k four units, word spacing three units, letter / 'two units, letter s three units, word spacing three units, letter g four units, letter 0 three units , Letter 0 three units and Letter d four units. In order to exclude the line exactly in the chosen example, you will have to line up seven (60-53) units in the spaces between the lines and distribute them as evenly as possible.

To achieve this, the strip is provided with openings which, when the strip is placed in a second machine, determine the total number of units and unit fractions which must be inserted into each gap in order to completely and evenly exclude the line. In the present punching machine, the exclusion openings are made by means of the character punches, the whole units located on any line from 3-11 (Figs. 41, 42) and those located on any line from 13-21 representing fractions of the unit. Of the lines that are intended for whole units, only lines 3-9, corresponding to 2 to 8 units, are eligible for exclusion. These openings e ⁷ become unit and fraction symbols when they are in a transverse row with the word spacing holes b on the line 2; They act in a second machine on a device for influencing, the holder or the base, which only carries the surface on which the characters are to be printed, embossed or produced for the purpose of achieving distance.

Now, in the example under consideration, the total number of exclusion units between the words amounts to sixteen (60-44), you would have to while it is printed, embossed, or manufactured, completely ruled out average five and four tenths of a unit are inserted between every two words. Accordingly, the strip on the transverse rows should which represent these units and fractions, are perforated, the perforations 13-21 being the fractions and the holes 3-11 introduce the units (cf. 17 and 6 of FIGS. 41 and 42).

In the exercise of the new \ ^r experiencing are not attached, however, the unit fractions of full units, but only full units, by allowing the approximately remaining fractions accumulate,

until an entire unit amount to _s, which are then he injected the next word spacing. In the example, therefore, the space between the words "The" and "work" would be five units, and four tenths of the unit would be omitted. Five units are inserted between the words “work” and “is” • and the accumulated eight tenths of the unit are saved; and between the words "is" and "good" six units would be inserted and the remaining two tenths of the unit would be neglected. A device for shooting in units and accumulating fractions, as well as for adding units resulting from accumulated fractions, is described and illustrated elsewhere. . '

The term "unit" used here refers to character units. At the In letterpress, the characters are systematically divided into units - with which units of width are meant.

An important innovation in the invention is the manufacture of excluded Print lines without the need to make the font from individual pieces or to put. For this purpose a printing device, e.g. B. a character bearing cylinder, expediently by a register strip of the type described so affects that it has the predetermined line on lithographic paper or another for relief roller printing usable material prints character by character and thereby each Word spacing gives the desired width, so that the entire widths of the characters and spaces fill exactly the predetermined length of the line.

A new device is used to produce perforated register strips, which is represented in the drawings by FIGS. Fig. 38, - 39 and 41 show part of the strip which is produced by means of a device of the type shown in FIGS shown, and Fig. 42 explains the determination of the individual hallmarks.

The improvements achieved by the subject matter of the invention are particular in that the for the production of perforated strips or other types of Machine serving control belts allowed by the new composition of the parts, To allow the machine to carry out tasks that would otherwise have to be carried out by the worker, and with far greater accuracy. These improvements are preceded by a Arrangement by means of which the machine automatically selects one or more devices, around the register strip with perforations or other means of representation the exclusion of a line to be printed, cast or set provided, and the device is expediently provided with means to the such a way to automatically influence selected device or devices.

The machine shown is operated by means of a number of buttons, which represent the characters to be selected and all the movements of the machine are go through this keypad or through the return of a movable machine part, a typewriter car z. B. causes. Except for the perforation of a register strip the machine provides a typed rendering of the on the strip displayed text.

For this purpose there are eighteen of the twenty-two marks available (two groups of nine each) intended for the production of the character symbols. These are by appropriate selection and compilation to represent the representation of ninety nine Characters used appropriately as follows. First of all, any hallmark used only for punching a hole; so one has eighteen character symbols. Then each hallmark of one group can be raised together with each of the nine hallmarks of the second group which results in 9x9 = 81 more symbols.

W ^T he mentioned, the machine twenty two punches, which are arranged in a line transverse to the paper strip has (Fig. 42). Two of these, the first and last of the line, punch holes in the paper with guide holes in order to feed the strip correctly into the typesetting machine. Two other punches are used to mark the stripe with word spacing or. To provide line endings, of which the former defines the word spacing and the latter the end or beginning of a line.

voices. The remaining eighteen punches serve the purpose of making the perforations, which are used to select characters, in various connections, as already explained. The paper is as presented by the perforating step ^i, wherein two guide holes in each letter or distance selecting be struck on the edge of the strip.

ίο In order to use the automatic To cause exclusion of a line of letters, the present machine is with . Provided means to open the strip gen to punch through, which is the amount of each space in the letter line Introduce exclusions to include in order to complete the line. the Exclusion openings are arranged on the strips in two groups, one of which Units and the other, tenths of a unit. These holes can be of the eighteen character punches are struck. As will be described later the special exclusion marks for filling in any line are automatically selected and automatically raised. If the Letter openings are intended to represent exclusion holes, a further perforation, namely the line end perforation struck. Likewise, the Purpose that for the exclusion of further spatial units at every distance in the set, cast or printed line should be inserted, the strip with a word spacing hole in connection with the line end holes and the exclusion openings. In the second machine the strip will be in the opposite direction to the one it was passing through

.40 was carried out through the piercing machine. The line endings are loaded. acts here at the beginning of a new line; show the selected exclusion openings indicates the amount of space separating each word of the line from the next and the word spacing holes indicate where normal There will be distances of three units.

The machine is equipped with a Provided counting device that every time, as soon as a character or word spacing perforation is made in the strip by a number of units corresponding to the width of the character shown forward goes, every time a spacing hole is made at three Units, except when the last word spacing punching of a line is connected is punched through with a line end punch. This counting device is set up so that they automatically use the punch (s) for selects the exclusion opening; which in units and tenths is the quotient of Division of the total length of the lines in units, minus the unit widths of the Character of the line, represented by the number of exclusions. For example, if a Letter line is 180 units long, where the characters are 126 units and the line contains seven spaces, so is the space between each word for the sake of exact line exclusion 54: 7, a little less than 7.8 units. According to the invention, the selection device is given in the Select the example from the hallmarks for the exclusion openings automatically who represents seven units, and also the one who represents eight tenths of a unit introduces.

Choice of letters.

The typewriter A ■ or any other key device of any type has keys B which include the customary character keys and special keys (FIG. 2), namely the "end of line" key R and a "line indent" key Y.

The keys are connected to key bars Β ^Λ (Fig. 3, 4 and 5), and under each key bar there are one or more vertically standing pins B ² , which pass through openings in the upper and lower rails J3 ³ and B ⁱ . The pins are provided with openings B ⁵ through which wires X pass. These wires are attached to pins X ¹ (Fig. 2) and pins D ⁴ (Fig. 3) 'of the current closers. In the illustrated device of this twenty-two wires X are present, and each wire passes freely through one, two, three or more pins B ² therethrough. Since, as stated, one or two pins are attached under each key post (Fig. 4), as soon as any letter key is struck, one or two of these pins are depressed and corresponding wires X are drawn, whereby - as will be described later - an equal number of circuits is closed.

Circuit end.

Each wire X is connected at one end to a circuit breaker D , and since there are one hundred letter keys in the machine and only eighteen of the twenty-two wires and circuit breakers D are used to influence the character punches, it is necessary to use these circuit breakers in various combinations.

50. To use positions. The remaining current closers are used for purposes explained later. The position and the number of the pins B in relation to the key bars and their interaction with different wires cause the desired movement of the current closers D, which in the present machine are moved individually and in different combinations in pairs. . All of the wires go through that

Openings B ⁶ in the post B ¹ (Fig. 3 and 5), which serve as bearings for the wires, and exert a direct pull on the current closers connected to them.

The current closers (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) are attached to swinging arms D , which sit independently on a rod D ^8. The latter lies in a metal frame which is provided with a front part D ¹ , which carries the front contacts of the current closers, and also with rear supports D ' ² on which the various return springs are seated. Each circuit breaker is connected to a wire X by means of a pin D * in such a way that the pin in the arm D has a small clearance, while the wire is connected to the front end of the pin influenced by a spring D ⁶ , which is between the rear part of the arm and a ring D ⁵ attached to the pin is inserted. The rear end of each pin D ⁴ is connected to a special spring D ⁷ , the rear end of which is attached to a hook or an eyelet on the rod D ⁸ mounted between the supports D ^2. Each arm D carries a contact piece £> ⁹ (Figs. 3 and 5), and the latter touch the contact pieces Z) ¹⁰ when the arms are attracted by the wires X. These are embedded separately in an insulating base -D ¹⁵ , which lies between the upper ends of the supports D ¹ . The contacts D ¹⁰ are connected by clamping screws D ¹¹ (Fig. 5) to the wires £) ¹² , which are in electrical connection with the electromagnets for punch movement in the manner described below. A return line JD ¹³ (Fig. 5) is connected to the frame D ' ^{by means of a screw D 1 *.}

The connections from wires D ¹² to the electromagnets are drawn schematically in FIG. 6, and the relationship of the magnets, armatures and punches to one another is shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 8 and 9.

Device for winding the register strikes.

The machine is provided in a manner known per se with a roll-up device E (FIGS. 1, 2, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31) in order to roll up the strip pierced by the punches. For this purpose, a drive of the usual type cannot be used for switching the roll on, since the length of the paper strip wound in the unit of time would gradually increase if the angle of rotation remained the same and the winding increased. So far, differential feed gears have been used, which give the roll gradually shortened movements as it is being wound, or electrical sensing devices,

which temporarily switch off the drive when the roller is pulled harder. In the present machine, these intricate devices are avoided and replaced by a simple drive. As shown in Figs. 27 and 28 of the drawings, the retractor has a roller F ² , which is suitably made rough and set in motion by a ratchet wheel E ¹ , and a second suitably also corrugated cylinder, which is parallel to the first-mentioned cylinder is stored. Both cylinders are provided with gears at their ends which mesh with an intermediate gear F ³ . The mentioned cylinders and gears are carried by the posts E ⁶ and the paper roll F ⁵ , which is constantly increasing in diameter, rests on both cylinders E ² and F ³ and is pressed down on these for friction drive by means of a rotatable weight roller E ^7.

In order to hold the various cylinders in their position, the paper roll F ⁵ and the weight roll E ^{1 are provided} with axles which are loosely fitted ^{in guides F 8 of} the posts F ^0. As a result of the arrangement described, the movement is transmitted to rollers E ² and F ⁴ as soon as the ratchet wheel is driven. Since the rotatably mounted paper roll is pressed against the rollers E ² and F ⁴ by the weight roller E ¹ , it is carried along by the friction at its circumference. Since the paper strip does not get its drive from the take-up roller itself, but from a roller along which it is only guided, its movement is always equally fast and independent of the diameter of the roller.

The device for feeding the register strip after the perforation point consists (Fig. 27 and 28) of the rollers F ¹ and F ² , the latter of which lies resiliently against the former and is mounted between the arms F ^{3 of} a swinging frame which is mounted on a Rod F ⁴ is seated. The role F ² is in resilient contact with the. Roll F ^{1 held} by means of a spring F ¹¹ which is attached to an arm F ^{3 of} the oscillating frame and to the machine frame. In order to unwind the paper roll F ^ä , it is supported with its axis in the fork ends of the post F (FIG. 27). The paper is then withdrawn, passed between rollers F ¹ and F ² and thence between the rollers of trigger rollers G 'and G ² , which will be further described, taking care that the paper does not get between the feed and trigger rollers is tense, but something is sagging.

The feed rollers F ¹ and F ² are set in motion by means of a pawl H ^s (FIG. 27) which sits on one end of a swinging arm H ^e , the other end of which rotates about the axis of the roller F ^1. This pawl engages the teeth of a ratchet wheel F ⁸ (Fig. 28) which is attached to one end of the roller F ¹ , at the other end of ^{which sits a gear F 9} , which with a gear F ¹⁰ at the end of the roller F ² is engaged.

The drawings also show the electrical devices which set the paper feeding and winding devices in motion. The electrical connection of this device is shown schematically in FIG. 6 and its details are shown in FIGS. In the last-mentioned figure, H denotes an electromagnet and H ¹ its armature, which is attached to a swingable rod H ^ which carries an angle lever near one end, one arm of which is connected to the frame of the machine by means of a spring H ^s . The lower end of the arm in question is connected to a link rod H ⁵ , the upper end of which is articulated to the swinging arm H ^s described above.

H ⁹ denotes the upper Am of the angle lever, which has a pawl H ^io at its end, which is held in engagement with the ratchet wheel E ¹ by means of a spring U ^11.

If the magnet H is excited, the armature H ^{1 is} attracted; as a result of this movement, the arms H ⁹ and H ^{2 are} moved counterclockwise, the latter against the force of the spring H ³ . The pawl H ^s is engaged backwards, snapped with the next tooth of ^{the ratchet wheel F 8} , and the pawl H ¹⁰ is brought down into engagement with the next tooth of ^{the ratchet wheel F 1} . If the circuit of the electromagnet H is now opened again, the lever is returned to its normal position by the spring H ³ , and as a result of this return the switching wheels F ¹ and F ¹¹ are moved forward by one tooth. The dimensions are expediently chosen in such a way that as much paper winds up at E as is fed in at F, whereby the paper is protected from unnecessary tension during the operation of the machine.

About the movement of the strip between the feeding and winding devices To make it easier, the machine is provided with a locking device, by means of which the same amount of paper is fed for each row of perforations, whereby when inserting it into another machine

a precise interaction with the feed members is secured.

This escapement consists (see Fig. 27, 28, 29, 30.-and -.31) of the rollers! G ¹ - and G ' ² , of. which the latter is mounted between the arms G ³ of a swing frame rotatable on a cross bar. This roller G ² is pressed against roller G ¹ by means of a tension spring G ²⁵ (FIG. 27). The paper fed by rollers F ¹ and F ² is pushed through between rollers G ¹ and G ^2.

G ⁴ is a vertical rod that can move up and down ^{and is guided by means of the slots G 5} and the screws G ⁽ⁱ . The upward movement of this rod is limited by a stop G ⁷ attached to the post F of the machine. If this rod G ^{4 is moved} by means of the armature of one of the electromagnets,

z. B. one of the armature of the guide hole magnets S or S ¹ granted. With this arrangement, the rod is given a movement each time this punch magnet is energized.
An escapement pawl G ^{8 is} rotatably attached to the rod G ⁴ at G ^9; this has two teeth G ¹⁰ and G ^u . One, G ¹¹ , can be brought into engagement with the teeth of the wheel G ¹ '-' ^{attached to the roller G 1.} The rod G ' ³ provided with a handle is pivotable about a bolt G ¹⁴ which carries an eccentric thumb G ¹⁵ which lies between the teeth G ¹⁰ and G ⁿ . FIGS. 29, 30 and 31 show different positions of the thumb G ¹⁵ and the escapement shown. When the rod G ¹³ assumes the position shown in Fig. 29, the thumb lifts the escapement out of engagement with the wheel G ¹² and locks it in this position, and when the rod G ' ³ moves backwards again (Fig . 30 and 31) is returned, the escapement falls into the engaged position.

Although the tension exerted by the winding ^{device creates and maintains a suitable tension in the paper passing through between rollers G 1} and G ² and pulls an equal piece of paper forward with each winding movement, the machine is expediently provided with provisions to ensure that Guide paper safely between rollers G ¹ and G ² . For this purpose, a rod G ^le (Fig. 27) is attached, which extends from the paper feed device and is provided with a pawl G ¹⁷ which engages in the teeth of the wheel G ¹⁸ (Fig. 28). In this way, the movement of the paper feeding device is transmitted ^{to the escapement rollers G 1} and G ^{2 at the same time. The escapement G 3} is used to control the movement of these rollers. The operation of the same, which is illustrated by FIGS. 30 and 31, is as follows: If the rod G ⁴ is raised when there is a short circuit, the Haken.G ^1J slides on the steep side of the ratchet wheel tooth space in which it lies to the end the wheel tooth tip up, so that the escapement G ⁸ swings down about the pivot G ⁹ until the shoulder G ¹⁰ strikes the thumb G ¹⁵ (Fig. 30) and the hook G ¹¹ enters the next tooth gap. When the current is interrupted, the rod G ⁴ sinks downwards, and at the same time the shaft G ¹ and with it the ratchet wheel G ¹² receive a brief rotary movement in the direction of the arrow in FIGS. 29 to 31 through the pawl G ¹⁷ and the ^{ratchet wheel G 18} . the hook G ¹¹ follows the movement of the ratchet wheel G ¹² and the rod G ⁴ until it from the in Fig. position illustrated 30 in'die by Fig. 31 illustrated position is passed, in which the hook G ^u to the thumb G ^IB finds an abutment and thus prevents further rotation of the wheel G ¹² until there is again a power supply. .-.- ■■ '

If you want to pull in a strip of paper for the purpose of starting up the machine, then you put the lever G ¹³ into the position shown in FIG. As a result, the arm G ^{8 is} raised and the hook G ^{11 is} disengaged from the ratchet wheel G ¹² , so that the paper strip can be drawn in without the roller G ¹ having to be advanced step by step. ,

Arrangement of the perforation

directions.

■ The new machine is provided with a number of electromagnets, for example twenty-two, which cause the movement of the punch marks. From the diagram in Fig. 6 it can be seen that two of these magnets, denoted by JS and S ¹ , operate the punches denoted by L ¹ and Z, ²² (Fig. 8), which provide the strip with guide openings near the edge , by means of which the feed; and the position of the strip is checked in a ... second, machine. One of these magnets (S ¹ , Fig. 6) also affects the paper winding device and the device for counting the units in a predetermined line.

The remaining grouped magnets are (in Fig. 6) with J ⁶¹ , J ⁵⁵ , J ⁵³ , J ⁵¹ , J ⁴⁹ , J ⁴⁷ , J ⁴⁵ , J ⁴³ , J ⁴¹ , J ³⁹ , J ^71,. / ⁸⁷ , J * ⁶ , J ³³ , J ^S1 , J ²⁹ , J ²⁷ , J ²⁵ , J ²³ and J ¹⁷ . . All of these magnets are used to move punches, individually or in various combinations of two, which perforate the strip. These hallmarks are in Fig. 8, 9 and 42 with L ² , L ⁸ , L \ V, L ^a , L \ Z. ⁸ , L ⁹ , L ¹⁰ , L ¹¹ , L ¹² , L ¹³ , L ¹⁴ , L. ¹⁵ , X ¹⁶ , L ¹⁷ , L ¹⁸ , L ¹⁹ , L ²⁰ , L ²¹ .

These punches, apart from the line end punch L ¹² and the word spacing punch L ^2, are divided into two groups, one of which represents the width of the letters to be printed, selected or produced in a second machine, while the other group, together with the former, represents a punch in the strip generated by which different locks are engaged in a second machine to move in different directions - e.g. .B. in reciprocating and rotating direction - to regulate the movement, for example, of a pressure roller which carries a large number of characters which are arranged in rows according to unit widths. To the first of these magnet groups (see Fig. 6) belong the magnets J ⁵⁵ , J ⁵³ , J ⁵ \ J ⁴⁹ , J ⁴⁷ , J ⁴⁵ , J ⁴³ , J ⁴¹ and J ³⁹ and to the second group die

Magnets J ³⁷ , J ³⁵ , J ³³ , J ³¹ , J ²⁹ , / ²⁷ , / ²⁵ , j ²³ and J ¹⁷ .

Each magnet in the first group represents a number of characters, of which all lie in the same row and are of the same width. It has proven to be useful to arrange the characters in ten rows of ten characters each on a roller or plate in the following way: A series of ten characters of two units, two rows of ten characters each three units, three rows of ten characters each, four units, two rows of ten characters each with five units, two rows of ten characters to six units.

As mentioned earlier, the last row of letters in each group is before the print point detected if a block does not come into effect for the corresponding group. There are therefore only nine blocks and for every ten rows of letters thus only nine marks each, so a total of eighteen marks required.

The punch Z, ² , influenced by the magnet J ⁶¹ , is intended, among other things, to provide the strip with word spacing perforation which, in a second machine, triggers a device to achieve a normal spacing of three units between the words of a line and that of the magnet J ⁷ⁱ influenced punches L ¹² is intended to provide a strip with line end holes in order to start a new line in a second machine.

The magnets J influence the armature K (. See Figs. 8 and 9). The magnets S and S ¹ for the guide punches dominate the anchors T and T ¹ . The manner in which all the anchors are arranged can be seen in FIG. 8, in which the anchors T and T ¹ lie at T ² in the upper forked ends of the posts K ^ss , which also the upper and lower frames K ⁹⁷ and K ^S9 against one another support, of which the upper one carries the device for supporting and guiding the punches. The lower ends of the punches L ¹ and L ²² rest on the inner ends of the anchor levers. When the outer ends are pulled down, the punches moving upwards pierce the strip. As soon as the magnets are de-energized again, the punches and from these the armature levers are returned to their normal position by the springs L ″ (FIG. 8).

The punches which provide the strip with openings to determine the width of the characters are denoted in FIGS. 8 and 9 with I. ³ , L \ L \ L ⁶ , L ⁷ , L ^s , L ⁹ , L ¹⁰ and L ¹¹ (see also Fig. 42). On the counters Z, ² to L ¹⁰ plates L ²³ , L ²⁴ , L ²⁵ , L ²⁶ , L ²⁷ , L ²⁸ , L ²⁹ , L ³⁰ , L ^{31 are} attached, which - in a manner set apart later - lift certain barriers whereby a counting device is incremented. These panels are divided into four groups: 1. L ²⁴ for lifting a lock that represents two units; 2. L ²⁸ , L ²⁵ and L ²⁶ , each of which lifts a lock representing three units;

3. Z, ²⁷ , L ²⁸ and Ζ, ²⁹ , each of which lifts a lock that represents four units and

4. L ³⁰ and L ^sl , each of which lifts a lock representing five units.

Wiring diagram. _g .

In Fig. 6, the electrical circuits and connections that regulate the action of the punches and their interaction are shown schematically. The contact arms D are designated (see also Figs. 5 and 7) with d ¹ to d ²² , and the wires which run out of the opposite contacts (D ¹⁰ in Figs. 3 and 5) are designated as follows:

Π Γ8 Π6 Γ21 T-2i Γ2β Γ28 Γ30 T32 T 34 7 "36

J ³⁸ , J * ⁰ , J * ² , J ⁴⁴ , β \ / ⁴⁸ , J ⁶⁰ , J ⁵² , J ⁵⁴ , J ⁵⁶ and 1O ₅ J ⁶² . The wires which run to the magnets for effecting the character perforations (Fig. 6) are / ¹⁶ (to J ¹⁷ ), J ²¹ (through the wire J ²² to the magnet J ²³ ), J? ⁴ (to J ²⁵ ), J ²⁶ (to J ²⁷ ), J ²⁸ (to J ²⁹ ), J ³⁰ (to J ³¹ ), no.J ³² (to J ³³ ), J ³⁴ (to J ³⁵ ), J ³⁶ (to J ³⁷ ), J ³⁸ (to J ³⁹ ), J ⁴⁰ (to J ⁴¹ ), J ⁱ² (to .Z ⁴³ ), J ⁴⁴ (to J ⁴⁵ ), J ^ie (to J ⁴⁷ ), J ⁴⁸ (to J ⁴⁹ ), J ⁵⁰ (to J ⁵¹ ), J ⁶² (to J ⁵³ ) and J ⁵⁴ (to J ⁵⁵ ). The wire J ¹ to the wire J ² and to the guide hole magnet S, connected in series with the other guide hole magnet. S ¹ by means of wire J ³ and wires J ⁴ , J ⁵ and J ⁶ connect these magnets 5 and S ¹ to the power source J ⁷ . The wire J ^s leads to the counting magnet M and from there through the wires J ^ei , J ⁵ and J ⁶ to the power source J ⁷ .

The wire J ⁵⁶ leads through the wire J ⁵⁷ to a magnet iV ^1!) Which - as will be explained later - influences a selection arm, and from there through the wires J ⁵⁸ , / ⁵⁹ and J ⁶⁰ to the word spacing magnet J ⁶¹ . The line end hole magnet J ⁷¹ is excited in the manner described below by the closing of the contacts carried by the typewriter carriage.

ίο The wire J ⁶² leads through the wire J ⁶⁰ to the word spacing ^{punch magnet J 61} .

If a key, e.g. B. "B" in Fig. 4, so the key bar which is connected to this key, the two pins £ ² abut below this and consequently the wires X, which are connected to the arms d * and d ¹³ are attracted and the circuits at the contacts of these arms are closed. The current then flows (Fig. 6) from the current source J ⁷ through the wire J ¹⁵ to the arms d ⁱ and i ^ls . From the former, the current flows through J ²¹ and J ²² to magnet J ²³ , and from d ¹³ the current flows through J ⁴⁰ to magnet J ⁴¹ , and from the coils of these magnets the current passes through wire J ¹⁸ to wire J ¹⁹ , through the coil of a relay J ²⁰ and through wires J " ⁵ and J ⁶ to power source J ⁷ . The excitation of the magnets J ²³ and J ⁴¹ causes the simultaneous movement of the punches L ²⁰ and L ¹⁰ (S-. Fig. 8 and 9).

With regard to the relay J ^{20 mentioned} above, it should be noted that its excitation closes a circuit through the guide hole magnets S, S ¹ in the following way:

From power source J ⁷ through wire J ¹⁵ , rod D ³ (Figures 3 and 5), wire J ¹³ , wire J ¹⁴ , relay J ²⁰ , wire J ² , coil of magnet S, wire J ³ , coil of Magnet S ¹ , wire J ⁴ , wire J ^5, and wire J ⁶ to the power source. As a result of the excitation of the magnets S ¹ and S , the punches L ¹ and JL ²² (see FIGS. 8 and 9) are moved, whereby the strip is provided with openings near the edge (see a, FIGS. 38 and 39), which are used in a second machine to guide the strip. From the above it follows that the attack of a button -B is the lifting of

. two letter marks and the two guide punch marks. As further explained the moving members of a pilot hole punch simultaneously effect the feed and winding the register strip and the counting device.

In the case of the present machine, when high current is used, there has been a tendency for sparks to form between contacts D ⁹ and D ¹⁰ (FIG. 3). An arrangement for preventing this inconvenience, which has proven to be useful, is shown in FIG. This consists in connecting ^{a capacitor and separate contacts to line J 6} in a manner known per se, which are connected or bridged in any suitable manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the contacts Z and Ζ ^λ (Fig. 7) should be moved together or otherwise connected by a device that is common to all the rods of the typewriter and is operated by them. By this arrangement, any sparking is relocated to one point of the equipment, at contacts Z and Z ¹ , instead of being spread to the various arms d ¹ to rf ²² , and is made ineffective by the capacitor.

Counting device.

The counting device is used to count the number of holes in the production of the holes to count the units represented by the letters and spacing holes in the strip.

As already mentioned, the letters are in a second machine where one hundred Characters of various unit widths exist in the following Grouping arranged: ten (10) letters of, two units, twenty (20) letters of three units, thirty (30) letters of four units, twenty (20) letters of five units and twenty (20) letters of six units.

As soon as the man operating the machine has selected a character, the magnets are energized in the appropriate combination, and the corresponding punch pins punch through the paper. The group L ⁵ to L ^{10 of} the hallmarks, which represent the width of two to five units of the selected letters, places a pin in the way of a slide for advancing the counting device in the manner described later, and this pin is used to move the slide in the appropriate To stop a distance in order to give a unit counter a movement corresponding to the unit width of the characters. With normal word spacing, the word spacing punch L ^{2 is} raised, which moves the unit wheel forward by three units.

The devices for controlling the switching of the unit wheel are shown in Fig. 10, II, 12, 13, 14 and 15, in which .115 M denotes an electromagnet and M ¹ whose armature is attached to a lever arm rotatable ^{about the pin M 2} M ^{3 is} attached. A spring M ⁵ pulls the armature off the magnet. The outer end of the arm M ³ is connected by a joint M ⁷ with a reciprocating slide M ^s

connected, which is guided ^{by screws Af 9} and M ¹² in slots M ¹⁰ and M ^11. This sliding piece carries a switching pawl M ^{13 which can be rotated about M 14} , the rear arm of which is connected to the sliding piece Ai ^{8 by a spring M 15.}

The unit wheel M ¹⁸ is drawn as a flat disc with a large number of teeth Af ¹⁷ and rotates on one

to axis Af ". If the magnet M is excited, the armature M ¹ pulls the slider Ai ⁸ against the force of the spring Af ⁵ and moves the pawl forward, so that the unit wheel Af ^{! 8 is} advanced a little because the pawl is in engagement with the toothed edge of the disk Af ^{18. After the power interruption, the spring Ai 5} returns the armature, slide and pawl to the initial position, while the disk is ^{in the advanced position by a spring-loaded lock Ai 101} (FIG. 17) is held.

The sliding piece Ai ⁸ is provided with five downwardly tapering projections (Fig. 11) Af ¹⁹ , M ²⁰ , Af ² VAf ²² and Af ²³ (white circles in Fig. 15), which are fixed locks, while the fixed crosspiece Ai ^{98 of} the counting device carries four movable locks Ai ⁹³ , Af ⁹⁴ , Ai ⁹⁵ and Ai ⁹⁶ as well as a fixed lock Af ⁹⁷ , of which the latter is referred to as a limit lock (circles drawn with dashed lines in FIG. 15). Af ⁹³ is the lock for two units, Af ⁹⁴ for three units, Ai ⁹⁵ for four units and Af ⁹⁶ for five units. As can be seen from Fig. 15, the locks or escapements are arranged in pairs one behind the other, M ¹⁹ and Ai ⁹³ , Ai ²⁰ and Af ⁹ *, Ai ²¹ and Af ⁹⁵ , Af ²² and Af ⁹⁸ , Af ²³ and Ai ⁹⁷ , as follows that the locks of each subsequent pair are arranged at a greater distance from one another than that of the previous one.

11, 13 and 14 it can be seen that the movable locks are attached to the plates Af ⁸⁸ , Af ⁸⁹ , M ⁹⁰ and Ai ⁹¹ , the first of which the lock Ai ⁹⁶ , the second the lock Af ⁹⁵ , the the third carries the lock Af ⁹³ and the fourth ^{carries the lock Ai 94.} The plates and catches are ^{held in the retracted positions by springs Ai 92} (Figures 13 and 14). The front ends of the plates rest on plates L ²³ to X ³¹ (Figs. 8, 10, 15 and 16), with plate Af ⁹¹ , which carries the locks in three units, on the ^{plates marked Z, 2} , L ⁴ and L ⁵ fixed panels L ²³ , L ²⁵ and L ²⁶ rests; the plate Ai ⁹⁰ , which carries the lock in two units, rests on the plate L ^u attached to the punch L ^B ; the plate Af ⁸⁹ , which carries the lock in four units ^{, rests on the plate L 6} , Plates L ²⁷ , L ²⁸ , L ²⁹ attached to U and L ⁸ and the plate Af ⁸⁸ , which carries the lock in five units, rests on plates L ³⁰ , L ³¹ attached to marks V and L ¹⁰ .

The purpose of the locks is to determine the path length of the slider Af ⁸ to give the disc Af ¹⁸ a number of unit movements corresponding to the width of the letter or distance represented by the punching. So z. B. when the punch L ^{3 is} raised, the plate Z, ^{24 connected to it is} lifted and the plate Af ^{90 is} lifted so that the pin Af ^{93 is} in the way of the fixed lock Ai ¹⁹ , which is supported by the slider Af ⁸ is carried, protrudes so that when the magnet Af is excited, this slider can only move so far that the unit wheel rotates two distance units.

The plate L ²³ (FIG. 10) carried by the word spacing punch L ^{2 moves the plate Af 91} , which is connected to the lock to form three units, Af ⁹⁴ . In the present machine, therefore, the unit wheel is incremented by three units for each normal distance shown on the strip. However, as will be explained below, in special cases a distance can represent more than three units. So that the plate becomes two units Af ⁹⁰ and the three-unit plate Af ⁹¹ does not interfere in their movement in the described arrangement, the front end of the former is bent downwards so that it does not hit the plate Af ⁹¹ when climbing up. If the unit wheel is to be moved six units, so · it is not necessary to insert any kind of lock, you just need the fixed lock. Af ²³ to pull against the fixed limit ^{lock Af 97} , which happens every time the punch Z, ¹¹ alone or at the same time with a punch L ¹⁸ ' until L ²¹ or one of these hallmarks is raised alone.

The slider Af ⁸ is expediently not moved forward until the selected lock is completely brought into the locked position. To accomplish this, the magnet Af is only switched on after the punches have moved into the circuit. A device for this. The purpose is shown, for example, in FIGS. 6, 8 and 9, in which the excitation of the magnet M is brought about by the movement of the devices for penetrating the guide holes, i.e. with each keystroke, by opening the circuit breaker for the magnet Af on the armature T ^{1 of} the magnet S ¹ attached. In Fig. 8 and 9, this current-closing device is shown due to lack of space due to the magnet S. In the example of the drawing is

one insulated piece T ^{3 is} attached to the end of the armature T ¹ and a second insulated piece T ¹ is attached to the head of the coil of the magnet S ^1. In the last-mentioned piece, a contact piece J ^{12 is} attached and connected to the wire J ¹³ , and in the part T ³ there is a spring-loaded contact piece J ^u , which is connected to a wire J ¹⁰ .

ίο Contacts J ¹¹ and J ^li close a special circuit (Fig. 6). This circuit runs from power source J ⁷ through J ¹⁵ through wire J ¹³ , contacts J ¹² and J ¹¹ , through wire J ¹⁰ , the coil of the winding magnet H, through wire J ⁹ , the coil of the counting magnet M, through wire J ^M , through wire J ⁵ , wire J ⁶ to power source J ⁷ . It follows that the winding magnet and the counting magnet. are connected in series, and that both are only excited by the attraction of the guide hole armature, the magnets of which are under the influence of the relay J ^20. This arrangement gives the certainty that the punches L ² to L ^{21 are} raised and the correct locks M ⁰³ to M ^M are brought into the locked position, if necessary, before the magnet M, which operates the slider M ⁸ , is excited.

Automatic selection.

: As I said, the machine provides the strip with openings, which can be used as Letter units represent the counted exclusion amount that is inserted into the second machine must be in order to completely fill out the letter line. Elsewhere, a machine is described that is one of these Has a device influenced by exclusion openings, by means of which the exclusion amount is a ^ -

is joined. . . . '

The present invention is intended to provide the means for the punch (s) automatically to select which are used to create the desired lock-out opening and to automatically lift the selected punch (s). ■. ■ ·

In order to simplify the machine and to be able to use a narrow strip of paper, the machine is set up in such a way that the use of special exclusion marks is unnecessary, rather the type marks are used for this purpose. According to this method, the character perforations, if they are used alone, are used in a second machine to carry out the printing, production or typesetting of letters Determine the size or width of the exclusions to be inserted or created, or the distance between printed words. As explained above, the strip is provided with spacing perforations and these determine where a spacing should occur. · The exclusion openings determine the size of these spacings. In practicing this invention, the character hallmarks are divided into two groups, one group representing Z, ³ through Z, ⁹ whole units from two to eight and the other L ¹³ to L ²¹ unit fractions (tenths) from zero to eight. The punches L ¹⁰ and L ¹¹ are not used for adjustment purposes. Z, ² is the word spacing punch. L ¹² is the line 'end hole punch and L ¹ and Z, ²² are the guide hole punch,

The automatic selection device works as follows: If a line should be terminated, the number of letters and normal exclusions units consumed subtracted from the total number of units contained in the row, and the remaining amount is divided by the number of exclusions in the row, and exclusion openings, which represent units and fractions, struck in the strip.

Suppose, for example, that the strip is to be punched through to reproduce the following English sentence: "A line of type consists of many parts" and that the sentence should fill exactly one line of 180 units. The width of the selected letters and normal exclusions is a total of 126 units, leaving 54 units to distribute over seven spaces, or 7.8 units to insert at each space. It is therefore necessary ^{to let the punches Z, 8} (which represents the seven units) and Z- ²¹ (which represents the eight tenths) work, and one must also activate the word spacing punch L ² and the line end punch L ¹² .

For the present purpose it is advantageous to use the ones shown in FIGS. 17, 18, 24, 25 and 26 shown device, because this is to choose from any possible combination of exclusion marks.

The device shown consists of an arm N, at the front end (Fig. 17, 25 and 26) a made of insulating material attachment 2V ^{1 is} attached, which carries two spring-loaded current closers N ² and N ³ , of which the outer with a wire J ^{94 is} connected (Fig. 6) to a circuit ^{terminal J 97} , while N ^{s is} connected to wire J ^7B , J ⁷⁵ which leads to terminal J ". Arm N

. is mounted in a guide TV ⁴ (Fig. 17 and 24) so that it can be moved forward and backward, which near its inner end is loosely attached to a pin JV ^{17 by means of a plate-shaped extension JV 5} , on which the unit wheel iW ¹⁸ (Fig. 17 and 24) turns. The guide JV ⁴ is provided with front and rear clamps N ⁷ , which secure the arm N against lateral displacement.

The arm JV -is equipped with a rack N ⁸ (Fig. 17 and 24), the teeth of which engage in a gear ZV ⁹ , which is set in "rotation" in the manner described below. To swing the arm N about its .Zapfen, the unit wheel M ^{18 is provided} with a projecting pin Ai ¹⁰⁰ which, as the wheel moves forward, lies against one side of the guide IV ⁴ and pushes the arm forward until the line is completed. The arm N thus has double mobility, it is swingable around the axis of the unit wheel and displaceable in its longitudinal direction. The swinging movement, however, does not need to begin until the line is almost complete, for example when the wheel has reached 32 units from the end of the line.

If the wheel Af ¹⁸ ■ is brought back to the beginning of the line, the arm N is simultaneously brought into a position by means of a device described later in which it remains until the wheel has passed through the aforementioned units of the line.

The arm contains the oscillating movement through the projection ^{100 of} the unit wheel, the longitudinal displacement is given to it by the gear wheel JV ⁹ . In this way, the current closers iV ² and N ³ can be brought into contact with each of the contacts of a switchboard attached at a suitable point, the contacts of which are arranged in parallel, arcuate rows, the centers of which all fall into the swing axis of the arm JV . Of these contacts, the rows drawn in black in FIG. 17 are in conductive connection with the unitary ounce magnets, and the recessed circles with the magnets of the fractional ounces. 40 shows these connections in a tabular overview. The longitudinal displacement of the arm JV is measured in such a way that when it comes to a standstill, the contact N ^{8 is} only connected to one of the (black) pins F "connected to the unit mark magnets, the current closer JV ² only to one of the (white) pins F ¹⁰⁰ connected to the There are twelve double rows of contacts arranged in pairs, each pair representing the space entered in Fig. 40 between two words in a line, in units and fractions.

This device is used to divide the remaining amount of units after completion of a line by the number of word spaces and thus automatically select the amount of units and unit fractions to be inserted between every two words. The size of the swinging movement of the arm JV- is related to the number of units to be distributed; the size of its longitudinal shift corresponds to the number of word spaces. The position of the contacts JV ² and JV ³ thus corresponds to the amount to be inserted into each word spacing. The two movements of the arm JV are independent of one another, they can occur individually or simultaneously. In general, the arm will only begin its swinging movement when it has already suffered a certain displacement in its longitudinal direction. A longitudinal shift of the arm takes place each time the lock button is pressed.

The following example may serve as an explanation: If the exclusion button was pressed four times before the stop M ¹⁰⁰ sets the arm JV in a swinging motion, the circuit breakers 2V ² and JV ³ press on the arm as a result of the four longitudinal displacements given to the arm at the beginning of the circular motion of the arm fourth row of pairs of pins, ie the double row marked with an asterisk in FIGS. 24 and 40. If the exclusion button is struck while the arm is swinging over the contact panel, it becomes. the arm is also stretched and the contactors JV ² and JV ³ jump over to the fifth row of contacts.

17, 18, 21, 22 and 23 a device for the temporary extension of the arm JV, independently of the rotational movements of the unit wheel .M ¹⁸ can be seen. This device consists of the standing in engagement with the rack JV ^{8 of} the arm gear 2V ⁹ , which is mounted on an axis JV ¹¹ (Fig. 18 and 21), on the lower end of ^{which sits a gear JV 12} , which is in engagement with a Rack and pinion iV ¹³ is available. This drive is attached to the reciprocating rod JV ¹⁴ , the opposite side of which is provided ^{with helical teeth iV 15.}

This rod is moved forward against the train of a spring JV ⁸ (Fig. 21), by means of an electromagnet JV ¹⁹ , which, when energized, ^{attracts the armature JV 20} and thereby the arm 2V ²ⁱ against the train

Spring IV ²² swings. This arm carries at its outer end a pawl N ^iS which is urged forward by a spring N ²ⁱ which engages the arm 2V ²¹ and a pin IV ²⁵ (Fig. 23) which extends a considerable distance over the pawl and how is described below, is used for triggering purposes.

In FIGS. 6 and 7 it can be seen that the magnet IV ¹⁹ is electrically connected by the wire J ⁵⁷ , J ⁵⁶ to a contact arm d ²¹ which is brought into the current-closed position by a patient key U (FIGS. 1 and 2) of the key mechanism will. The circuit connections are as follows: from power source J ⁷ through wire J ¹⁵ , through arm d ²¹ , through wires J ⁵⁶ , J " ⁵⁷ to magnet iV ¹⁹ , through wire J ⁵⁸ , wire J ⁵⁹ , wire / ^β0 , magnet J ⁶¹ , through wire j ¹⁸ , wire J ¹⁹ , relay J ²⁰ , wires J ⁵ and J ⁶ to power source J ⁷ .

A spring-loaded lock IV ²⁷ (FIGS. 21 and 22) is used to keep the rod N ^u in a position in which it is ^{guided forward by the arm IV 21} when the latter is interrupted by the magnet N ¹⁹ the action of the spring IV ^{22 is} left. This lock is mounted on a recessed pad N ³⁰ and provided with a pin IV ²⁸ which extends a considerable distance beyond the pawl, as shown in FIG. To the pin of the pawl, a spring IV ^{29 is} rolled, the opposite ends of which against the pin IV ²⁸ BEZW. press the pad IV ^30.

The machine is provided with devices which allow any desired number of character units to be given to the line, and accordingly the perforated strip in the machine to be controlled can regulate the printing, the production or the set of columns of different widths. This is achieved by arranging a lock that can be set in any position, so that the starting point of the rows of holes can be moved as desired. For this purpose, a wheel N "shown in Figs. 18, 24 and 25 is mounted so that it can be rotated about the axis of the unit wheel in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 24). This wheel 2V" is marked with Edge teeth JV ⁹⁸ provided, which correspond in number to the teeth of the wheel M ¹⁸ and are attacked by a rotatable lock iV ⁹⁷ , which in after-. generous engagement with the teeth of the wheel is held by a spring 2V ⁹⁰ .

On the upper surface of the wheel JV "there are digits or letters forming a division, and protruding upward from this wheel is a pin IV ⁹⁵ against which the part of the pin M ¹⁰⁰ that extends below the unit wheel is placed if a line is to be started.

To determine the length of the line, wheel 2V "is moved in the direction of the arrow until the number indicating the desired length of the line is opposite the top of lock TV ^97. Thus, when the wheel is in the direction of FIG _: position shown 24 is Figure, the machine set to provide the strip with a number of perforations, the letters, distances and exclusions represent, to set an excluded line of two hundred letters units to produce or print When the units wheel Ai triggered ^18th. is, as will be described later, the pin M ¹⁰⁰ is again go back up to the pin IV ⁹⁵ can be which moved as a result of its attachment to IV ⁹⁹ on any of an arbitrary point and adjustable sets as the starting point of the line. Among the units wheel M ¹⁸ and above the ^{ratchet wheel IV 99} is a helical spring IV ¹⁶ (Figures 24 and 25) ^{wrapped around a solid block IV 17.} One end of this spring is attached to the sem block and the other end to the unit wheel Af ¹⁸ . By means of this arrangement, the unit wheel is returned to its original position as soon as the pawl M ¹³ and the lock Af ¹⁰¹ (Fig. 17) are out of engagement with the teeth of the wheel, and the return of the wheel causes the wheels IV ⁹ , IV to rotate ¹² and consequently a shortening of the arm IV to its normal length as soon as the pawl IV ²³ and the lock JV " ²⁷ (FIG. 21) are released from the rack IV ¹⁴ .

Reset, counting and selection devices.

First of all, the devices for effecting the release and resetting of the wheel and arm in their normal position.

17, 18, 19 and 20 show an electromagnet O which is provided with an armature O ¹ which is kept away from the magnet by a spring O ² (FIG. 20). The anchor sits on a plate O ³ which is provided with guides O ⁴ , O ⁵ , O ⁶ and O ⁷ (Figs. 17 and 19) through which screws pass which allow the plate O ³ to slide on the frame. This plate is also provided with a slot O ^{8 through which the pin Ai 16} connected to the pawl Af ¹³ for advancing the unit wheel protrudes. In addition, the plate is provided with openings O ⁹ , O ¹⁰ and O ¹¹ , which

allow the plate to slide without interfering with the devices and supports of the unit wheel and arm movement. At O ¹² the plate is slightly cut (Figs. 17 and 19). A pin, which sits on the resilient lock Ai ¹⁰¹ (FIG. 17), which holds the unit wheel in the forward position, penetrates this incision. Pins 2V ²⁵ and N ^2S (Figures 19, 21, 22 and 23) press against the leading edge of the panel as shown in Figures 17 and 19; the former sits on the pawl iV ²³ (which moves the rod iV ¹⁴ ) (Fig. 21) and the latter sits on the resilient lock iV ²⁷ , which holds the rack in the advanced position. "

If the magnet O is excited, the plate O ^{3 is} pulled forward (to the left), whereby the pawls Af ¹³ and iV ²³ and the locks Af ¹⁰¹ and 2V ^{27 are} disengaged from the unit wheel and the rack .2V ¹⁴ , whereupon the spring ^Never (FIG. 24) ^{turns the wheel M 18 back} to a position; in which the pins M ¹⁰⁰ and Λ ⁷ " ⁹⁵ butt against each other; this position is variable, as shown apart. This spring N ¹⁶ brings the arm N back to its initial position by moving the rack iV ^{14 to} rotate the gear 2V ¹² and thus the wheel N ⁹ , which is seated on the same axis and which engages in the teeth of the rod N. It is recommended to cause the selection device to be triggered and returned to the normal position automatically by the intermediary of the typewriter carriage when this carriage goes back for the purpose of starting a new line of text Circuit through the magnet O and thus causes the movement of the plate O ³ .

Out of the electoral table.

As was explained above, the turning and stretching movements of the arm N ^{cause the contactors 2V 2} , N ³ to come into contact with the pins which represent the units and fractions to be enclosed. The value of each pen is shown in Fig. 40, wherein the dark circles represent the units and the light circles represent the fractions. The pens are arranged in groups of two, with each dark circle forming a pair of pens with the light circle in front of it on the same radius. Each pin, as will be described later, is electrically connected to the magnet of an exclusion hallmark of equal value. In this way, e.g. B. the unit pin "7" with the corresponding exclusion punch L ^s connected, and each fractional pin, z. B. "6", is in connection with a corresponding exclusion mark, z. B. L ¹⁹ . The pair of pins mentioned here as an example is denoted by arrows in FIG. 40. As you will notice, the pins are arranged in fan-shaped lines and in rows on circular arcs drawn ^{around the center of the wheel 2V 9.} When the unit wheel is advanced so far that the stop Af ^{100 has} caught the arm JV, the current closers on arm N open over a number of pin groups corresponding to the unit width of this letter with each further movement of a character punching punch. The same circular arc is moved away, and in addition, each time the spacing punch mark becomes effective, i.e. when the exclusion button is pressed, the circuit breaker on arm N is transported outwards to the next arc-shaped double row of pins, while they pass over a number of groups which correspond to the normal distance of three units correspond to be moved sideways, ie along the circular arc. Assume, for example, that the current closer iV ² BEZW. N ^s rest on pins 7 and 6, which are indicated by arrows in Fig. 40, which will happen if, when Ai ¹⁰⁰ go hits arm N, the section of the line that has been perforated up to that point contains seven word spaces (since the Pair of pins is moved outwards by the width of seven double rows) and for the purpose of excluding the line, the normal spacing width would have to be increased from three units to 7.6 units. If a letter of six units is now added by the keypad from the line section shown so far, the current closers are moved along the circular arc over six radial rows of pins and lie on the pins, which represent six units and eight tenths of a unit; Depressing another key, which represents a character of four units, will now bring the circuit breaker four more radial rows to the right onto the pins, which represent six units and two tenths of a unit. If now the one shown above. Word is finished, then the following hitting the Spatientaste on the keypad will cause the arm to be stretched at the same time, so that the current closers step on the next further outward row of arches and at the same time stroke along this over three radial rows, so that they reach the pins which represent five units and four tenths of a unit,

As stated above, the arm does not begin its run over the pins until

when the unit wheel has reached 32 units from the end of the line. Usually- the person operating the machine will not try after starting the arm movement to insert more than 32 units in the line, however, the unit base number will often be exceeded in this way prove necessary. The following facility is used for such cases:

It can be seen from FIG. 40 that there is a radial row denoted by ο (zero) which yields a normal unit amount for word spacing, namely three units. If, upon completion of a line, the current closers .2V ² and N ³ rest on any group in this row, the corresponding hallmarks for three units and O fractions, i.e. L ⁴ and L ¹³ , would be raised and in a second machine exactly three units are included at every normal word spacing in the line.

If, however, the line is not filled, it becomes necessary to adjust the width of the spaces to enlarge the line, and if the line is overcrowded, an appropriate Reduction in the spacing width can be made. In Fig. 40, the rows of pins are from 32 to ο and Numbered from ο to 12, the former group denoting the exclusion amount, um which can certainly lengthen a line of sentence, while the latter denotes the denotes the largest permissible excess over the line length.

From Fig. 24, 25 and 26 it can be seen that the panel V, which carries the unit and fractional pins, in the illustrated embodiment consists of sixteen metal plates, denoted by V ¹ , F ² , V ³ , F ⁴ , F ⁵ , F ⁶ , V, F ⁸ and with ν ¹ , ν ¹ , ν ³ , ν *, α> ⁵ , v °, ν ⁷ and v ^a and are isolated from each other by hard rubber plates. Of these plates, F ¹ to V are electrically connected to the magnets, which influence the marks L ³ to X ⁹ , which represent the units, while the plates F ⁸ and v ¹ to v ^a with the magnets of the marks L ¹³ to Z- ²¹ , which are fractional, as will be discussed below: Figure 26 is a section through panel F, taken along line 26-26 of Figures 24 and 40, with arm N advanced so far that current closers 2V ² , N ³ rest on the pins labeled ^{v 50} and v ^bl in FIG. 24. In FIG. 26, on the left-hand side of the drawing, the value of each individual plate is indicated in units or fractions, for example plate F ^{2 being} indicated with three units and plate v ² with two tenths of a unit. Each plate can be provided with as many perforations as there are pins in the selection device, namely 808. The same number of perforations are made in the insulating plates between them. All pins of the same value are connected to the same metal plate; so are (Fig. 26) e.g. B. all pins with two units connected to the plate V ¹ representing two units. In the same way, all unit and fraction pins are connected to plates of appropriate value. Where a pin passes through a plate or several plates, it is insulated from vulcanized rubber by means of a sleeve surrounding the pin. As FIG. 6 shows, the plates are each electrically connected to the punch magnets. It is expedient to provide each plate with a small extension, which are located on the opposite sides of the contact board V and to which the wires leading to the magnets are connected by means of screws.

The connection of the plates with the magnets (Fig. 6) can be seen from the list below, in which the numbers in brackets denote the units represented by the plates behind them.

Operation of the selector.

If the current closers TV ² and N ^s at the end of the arm N are in contact with a pair of pins of the panel ν , the magnets connected to these pins are excited as soon as current flows through the selected lines. In the present case, this happens when the typewriter carriage is returned at the end of a line. The electrical circuits, which are then closed by connecting contacts J ⁹⁷ , J ⁹⁸ , J " and J ¹⁰⁰ , can be seen in FIG. 6 and come from the power source through the wire / ¹⁵ through the stem) the current closer, through the wire J ¹³ , then divided to the wires J ⁹⁵ and J ⁹⁶ , through the unit line contacts J ⁹⁹ , J ¹⁰⁰ on the one hand and the fractional line contacts / ⁹⁷ , J ⁹⁸ on the other hand, through the Wires J ⁷⁵ or / ⁹ ' ¹ to the current ^{closers JV 2} , N ^{s of} the arm N and from there through the selected pins, wires and magnets to the wires J' ⁸ , J ¹⁹ , the relay J ²⁰ and the wires J ⁵ and J ⁶

to the power source / ⁷ . These circuits will not be closed until the contacts J ″ and J ^{100 of} the unit line, as well as the contacts J ⁹⁷ and J ^{98, are} in contact, which can be effected in any known manner.

In the present case, the circuits are closed at J "and J ¹⁰⁰ and at J ⁹⁷

■ and J ⁹⁸ by means of the armature of an electromagnet. The armature of the line end perforation magnet J ⁷¹ (FIGS. 6 and 9) is used for this purpose. In this latter figure, the armature of the line end perforation magnet is shown as a carrier in an insulating pad, which is provided with contacts J ¹⁰⁰ and J ⁹⁸ . The arrangement, shape, placement and

■ Connections of these contacts can be the same as those of contact J ^u (Fig. 8),

When the electromagnet J ^{71 is excited} , the contacts J ¹⁰⁰ respectively. J ⁹⁸ brought into contact with the contacts J ″ and J ^{97 shown in FIG.}

As will be described in detail later, the end-of-line magnet J ⁿ is enclosed in a circuit which can be closed by means of a device attached to the typewriter ^{carriage, namely (see Fig. 6) via the wires J 15} , J ¹³ , the circuit breaker controlled by the carriage P, wire J ⁷⁰ , magnet J ⁷¹ , wire J ⁷ ?, To power source J ⁷ . As explained above, the armature of the end-of-line punching magnet J ⁷¹ , when it is attracted, closes the unit line and the fractional line of the selection device in this way brings the selected exclusion points into effect, and at the same time the excitation of the relay J ²⁰ closes the circuit through the guide hole magnets S and S ¹ . Thus, a corresponding adjustment of the device P caused by the movement of the carriage causes the line end punch L ¹² , the selected exclusion punch and the guide punch punch L ¹ and Z, ²² to come into effect at the same time, whereby, as has already been explained, the word spacing punch L ² at the same time Time is increased.

It was previously stated that at the same time as the movement of the guide punches L ¹ and L ²² one of the armatures serving them, the armature T ¹ on the electromagnet S ¹ (FIG. 6), a circuit through the winding magnet H and the magnet M, which controls the forward movement of the unit wheel causes closes. Since it is now necessary, however, that the arm N of the selector does not move when the current flows through the unit line and the fractional line and the selected pins, the magnet M must be switched off from the circuit for this moment, otherwise the unit wheel when energized d ^ r punch magnets would be moved forward, namely, since locks are not set, by its highest amount, namely six units, and the associated displacement of arm N would cause the current closers JV ² and iV ⁸ over six groups of pins in the contact panel V and set a number of exclusion marks in effect, which would create useless exclusion openings in the strip. ■

This is prevented by short-circuiting the magnet M, which is achieved by attaching aids to the device P operated by the car in order to divert the current after it has passed through the coils of the winding magnet via the wires J ⁰⁵ and J ⁹⁰ to the wire J ^{6 has} flowed. .

Provision of devices.

Devices are also operated from the typewriter carriage which, by the means described above, return all parts of the selection device to their initial position. For this purpose the magnet 0 is excited. For this purpose, the carriage is provided with a contact which, when the carriage moves at the beginning of a new line, " closes the circuit of the magnet O , the mechanical connections being set up in such a way that the latter circuit is only closed when the circuits through the Exclusion marks and have been closed and interrupted again by the magnets of the word spacing punching and line end punching ■ and so their activity is already completely ended before the parts of the selection device are returned to their initial position is kept closed for a relatively long time, so as to give the springs iV ⁶ (FIGS. 21 and 22) and 2V ^ie (FIGS. 24 and 25) ample time to bring the arm N and the unit wheel M ¹⁸ into their initial positions.

These devices are shown in FIGS. 32, 33> 34, 35, 36 and 37 shown. ·

C ¹ denotes the frame of the carriage and C ² its roller. C ³ is the rod around which the roller swings to enable the text to be checked, C ⁴ is the slide on which the carriage is mounted. In the version shown, two metal parts running in the longitudinal direction of the slider are attached to the slider C ^4.

strips C ⁵ attached, to which resilient clips C ^{6 are} attached (Fig. 36), which ^{press from both sides against a metal rail C 7 , the fastening screw C 9 of} which goes through the guide grooves G ⁸ (Fig. 32) 'of the rail C ⁷ a short longitudinal shift is permitted.

When the carriage is returned in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 32, the clamps C ^{6 take} the rail C ^{7 with them} to the right until the left end of the groove hits ^{the screw C 9.}

As the carriage continues to move, the brackets slide along the rail. . If the carriage is then moved again when the keys are struck under the influence of the spring drum or in some other way against the direction of the arrow, the clamps pull the rail C ⁷ into the other end position of its movement. Accordingly, every movement of the carriage, even the slightest movement, causes the rail to move in such a way that the carriage and rail always move in the same direction.

Car contacts.

At the front end of the rail C ⁷ , the upper end of a plate C ¹⁰ (Fig. 32, 37) is attached, the lower end of which is bent back (Fig. 36) and is provided with a guide cutout C ¹¹ (Fig. 32), which is a screw or another ledge C ^. a short slide rail C ¹³ (Figs. 32 to 35). A thumb C ^{14 is} attached to the latter rail and consists of a metal plate, the upper part of which is freely bent over the upper edge of the rail and parallel to it. C ¹⁵ is a pin which is seated on a sector disk P that can swing ^{around screw C 17 and protrudes through an arcuate slot C 18} in plate C ¹⁹ , which ^{carries screw C 17} and thus plate P. This pin C ¹⁵ lies between the arms of a two-armed spring C ^{20 which is also fastened to the plate C 19} . The oscillating disc P carries the contacts P ⁴ , P ⁵ , P ⁶ (Fig. 33), the first of which is ^{isolated from the disc by P 7} and connected to the wire / ⁹⁰ (Fig. 6), while the latter two are attached directly to the disk P, which is connected to the wire J ¹⁸ (Fig. 6). On the plate C ¹⁹ a base P ⁸ made of insulating material is provided on which three special contacts P ¹ , P ² , P ^{3 are} attached, 'the (Fig. 6) with the word spacing magnet J ⁶¹ , the line end magnet J ⁷¹ respectively. the wire J ^{65 are} in connection, of which the latter turns off the counting magnet M , while he leaves the winding magnet H in the circuit. The indicated circuits are closed when the oscillating disc P is adjusted so that P ⁶ with P ¹ , P ⁵ with P ² and P ⁴ with P ^{3 come} into contact.

The movement of the disk P is caused by the displacement of the short rail C ¹³ in the direction of the arrow (FIG. 32) in that the thumb C ¹⁴ grips the pin C ¹⁵ and takes it with it, whereby the disk P counter to the force of the right arm of the spring C ^{20 is} pressed in the short-circuit position. As the rail C ⁷ moves further, the thumb C ^u slides over the pin C ¹⁵ (FIG. 34), whereupon the spring C ^{20 snaps} the disk P back against the left arm of the spring, so that the contacts are interrupted again and the aforementioned parts are interrupted be switched off from the circuit.

The screw C ¹² is provided with a contact C ²¹ (FIGS. 6, 33, 34 and 35) and moves freely in a slot C ^{22 arranged in the plate C 19} . The further movement of the rail C ¹³ continues until the contact C ²¹ strikes a contact C ²³ attached to the plate C ¹⁹ , whereby, as shown in FIG causes individual parts of the selection device in the initial position.

After the contacts C ²¹ and C ²³ have been brought together, as the carriage C ⁴ continues to move in the direction of the arrow, the brackets C ^B slide along the rail C , and immediately after the carriage comes to a standstill, the contacts C ²¹ and C ²³ separated by the decline of the typewriter cart.

By means of the device described, the contacts on the disk P are closed immediately when the carriage begins to move in the direction of the arrow, and only some time later, when the movement continues, the circuit through the magnet O, which remains closed for a relatively long time, namely until the carriage changes direction.

Signaling device.

The known signaling device, by means of which the worker recognizes when a line is almost complete, has been appropriately redesigned for the present case. The device closes the current through an incandescent lamp Q. (Figs. 1 and 26) and consists (Figs. 24, 25 and 26) of a lamp Q., an insertion ^{wire Q, 1} and an outgoing wire Q. ² , which is connected to a Circuit breaker is connected, which consists of a frame Q ³ and a resiliently pressed contact Q ⁵ , The circuit breaker is on the stretchable arm N an-

from which it is isolated by a non-conductive base Q ^4. Above the arm N there is a plate Q ⁶ , against the lower side of which the contact Q ⁵ presses when the arm has been stretched by the wheel N ⁹ and is carried along by the pin M ^{100 in} this way. Q. A wire ⁷ connects this board to the power source. It is useful to give the plate Q. ⁶ a shape corresponding to the contact arrangement on the panel V (Fig. 24), so that the man operating the machine can be certain that the contact Q. ^{5 is} not against the plate Q ⁶ presses when the current closers N ² , N ^{3 of} the arm N are in contact with the pins of the panel V. In this way, the signal lamp lights up during the entire period in which the exclusion marks can be activated.
.20 So far the only use of the machine has been stated that a strip should be provided with perforations, which represent completely excluded lines. The machine can, however, also be used to display indented or other short lines in the register strip.

Indent the line.

To display indented lines (beginning of a paragraph) there is a special key Y (Fig. 2), which, by pressing suitable wires X , the contact d ² (Figs. 6 and 7) and thus a circuit through the wire J ⁸ , magnet M, wire J ^M and wire J ⁵ to power source J ⁷ closes. Since the counting magnet M is the only one that is now included in the circuit, when the engagement button Y is pressed, the wheel M ^{18 will} be moved forward by six units, since no locks are engaged. The arm JV is not extended when the engagement key is struck.

Paragraph ends.

For the second case of short lines, the paragraph ends, a key R (Fig. 2), the line termination key, is used, which exerts a pull on suitable wires X 'and thereby the contacts ^ ¹² and d' ² ' ² (Fig. 6 and 7) closes, whereby the excitation of the magnet J ³⁹ and the word spacing ^{magnet J 61} through the relay J ²⁰ and the excitation of the guide hole magnets S and S ^{1 is} achieved. The arm magnet N ¹⁹ is not energized when the line termination key is pressed.

Instead of the electrically operated devices described as an example, körinen other modes of operation can also be applied, but because of the ease and cheapness the connection and maintenance and also because of the durability and reliability Electrically operated devices deserve preference over the machine.

The operation of the machine illustrated in the drawings is as follows: the typesetter depresses the B keys of the keypad, whereby various successive combinations of contacts at D are closed and the corresponding L marks come into effect. The counting magnet M (FIGS. 10, 12 and 17) and the strip feeding and winding magnets H (FIG. 27) are excited by means of the contacts J ¹¹ and J ^{12 (FIGS. 6 and 8).} The first-mentioned magnet advances the counting wheel Af ¹⁸ , as far as this is permitted by the locks inserted by lifting the punches. When the counting wheel approaches the end of its revolution, it grabs the arm N (Fig. 24 to 26) and takes it with you, which, regardless of the movements of the counting wheel M ¹⁸ , occurs as a result of the word spacing key U (Fig. 1) being hit. has been extended. This button closes a circuit through the magnet N ¹⁹ (Fig. 17, 18, 21 and 23) and thus moves the lever JV ²¹ . The longitudinal and circular movements of the arm JV are thus independent of one another. As it continues to rotate, the counting wheel Af ¹⁸ moves the arm N from one radial row of pins protruding from the contact board to the other until the row is sufficiently filled. Then the carriage is returned to its original position, whereby, as previously discussed, inter alia in the line end hole magnet J ⁷¹ current circuit is achieved, whose armature circuits in J ⁹⁸ and J ¹⁰ ° (Fig. 6) through those unit and fractional pins on which the Contacts iV ² and TV ^{3 are} just resting. The current flows through these pins to the magnets, which operate the counters that correspond to the value of the pins and provide the register strips with the appropriate closing openings. The further movement of the carriage interrupts the line end hole contact and then closes a circuit through the magnet O (Fig. 17 to 20), the armature of which ^{carries the plate O 3} , which holds the pawls 2V ²³ , N ^'27 , M ¹ ' ⁰¹ and M ¹³ triggers, whereupon the springs TV ⁶ and iV ¹⁶ return the counting wheel Ai ¹⁸ and the arm N to their predetermined position.

A perforated strip made in the described manner and by means of the described Devices is made, can be used to regulate the work of any device Production, used for setting or printing lines or printing characters will.
