The invention relates to a recording-controlled typewriter as described in the preamble of claim I. specified genus.

From US-PS 30 63 536 a typewriter with a standard line contact is known which. to examples ⁵ "game, in the column layer 60 of the carriage is located. If a maximum of 70 characters to be written in one line, which must have more than nine characters in the storage on the record carrier words are provided to the Silbentrcnnstcllen with a hyphen ^Vl . In the main area of the line, the "leading hyphens" are not taken into account. When passing a contact for the standard / .cilen length, however, a corresponding circuit is activated so that the carriage return is automatically triggered when the space bar is pressed. In addition, the "leading hyphens «So that words that are too long are automatically separated into their syllables. The carriage return is then resolved.

In this typewriter, the storage on the recording medium must take too long Words divided into their syllables by "leading hyphens"

65 , so that after passing the corresponding contacts there is an automatic hyphenation, which, however, has to be bought at the expense of a very cumbersome and inexpedient division of these long words when entering them.

Furthermore, from US-PS 22 97 789 a typewriter known, in which the position of a designated right edge area can be changed in the illustrated embodiment, it is eight characters wide. Should be with this typewriter if necessary, automatic carriage return must be used, similar to the typewriter according to US-PS 30 63 536, reserved hyphens are used to automatically separate from to allow long words in syllables. So there is only one area with variable position in one Automatic hyphenation can be carried out if the words are too long and appropriate hyphens have been coded.

The contact device provided in this typewriter is not one additional) third marginal studio, but only a facility that can be used after passing the right marginal position the automatic hyphenation is triggered when a hyphen occurs.

Finally, from DE-OS 15 61204 and GB-PS 10 17 967 a recording-controlled typewriter of the specified type known, in which the writing surface is divided into three areas. In the main area, the individual functions stored on the recording medium become more common Wise done, d. h, in this area the storage of a space bar also indicates actually the space between two characters.

When the car enters a predetermined limit area, which is the case in the method according to DE-OS 15 61 204 is ten characters and for the typewriter according to GB-PS 10 17 967 is fifteen characters, When a certain function key occurs, for example the space bar, the carriage return is autoviiansch triggered. If the car finally passes the right margin stop and enters the end area, what for example, it may be the case with words that have more contain ten or fifteen characters, the car is automatically stopped and this word must then be broken down into its syllables by hand. In this case, the hyphen key for the End of syllables are pressed so that the carriage return is then triggered manually and this word in can be continued on the next line.

This predefined limit area in which the carriage return when certain characters appear is triggered automatically, but is then inexpedient, if the document contains a large number of long words. Then the car arrives namely relatively often in the end area in which the control by means of the recording medium is ineffective and the control must now be carried out by hand.

Another disadvantage of this known, recording-controlled Typewriters mean that a word that is too long is inserted in the end section by means of a The hyphen is broken down into its syllables and then the carriage return key must be pressed, so that two steps are required before further control is again over the recording medium can be done.

The invention is therefore based on the object

in a device for automatic line breaking in a record-controlled typewriter a design of the edge zone that can be adapted to the respective requirements, also known as the editing zone called to enable.

This object is achieved according to the invention by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1 Features solved.

Appropriate embodiments are set out in the claims compiled.

The advantages achieved by the invention are based on the one hand on the fact that in the editing zone The number of characters can be changed as required, for example if the Document contains a large number of long words. Also when inserting drawings, Photographs, diagrams, etc. in a document, it may be useful to measure the length of the editing zone in which the actuation of certain keys automatically triggers the carriage return, to make it variable. Because should for example, near the right edge of a A drawing or a sketch can be inserted on the sheet, while the area to the left of it Drawing is described in the usual way, so In the case of the known devices, this can only be done by the recording-controlled typewriter is stopped by hand at the desired points. In the case of the typewriter according to the present one In the invention, however, the third margin stop can be moved to the left to such an extent that, for example when you press the space bar, the result is automatic carriage return. This leaves a certain, optional adjustable range for such insertions freely.

Another major advantage lies! in the end nor in the fact that in the / wide area the carriage return is also automatically triggered as soon as a for Separation of a word into its syllables serving hyphen is entered. This compares with the known devices is a significant improvement, since they after pressing the Hyphen key also the carriage return had to be triggered manually.

The invention is shown in the following on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to FIG schematic drawings explained in more detail. It shows

In Fig. I is a common, electric, record-controlled Typewriter shown in which a device for automatic line breaking according to of the invention is used; it is located between a left margin plate 15 and one right margin stop 10 a third margin stop 4.

In detail, this typewriter includes a carriage 1, a line Verrifigelung 2, a bracket 5, a Shift lever 6 for the Reciigierzonc, an actuating element 7, an angle lever 9 for actuating the Läuiwerkes, an angled Läuiwerkbügel II. A lever 12 for the right edge setting and an actuator 13.

ι The following describes how this typewriter works will be explained, with particular reference to FIG. 1A. In this figure are the left margin stop 15 and the right margin stop 10 and the third margin stop 4 for changing the editing

ίο / one width in certain, changeable positions shown. The area from the right side of an editing zone lever 3 to the right margin stop 10 is referred to as the "editing zone". By means of a microswitch coupled to the editing zone lever 3

i ^r > it is determined whether the carriage I carrying a write head is in the editing zone or not.

The carriage 1 is depending on the one Punched tape or a punched tape recorded code moved and operated. Does the car run on that

Pass the third margin stop 4, so Fühlhebi I of the carriage 1 comes to the editor / .orsenhcbe! 3 of the third margin stop 4 into engagement, whereby the ringer lever of the redigierzone lever 3 in turn comes into engagement with the projection of the line lock 2.

.η The bell lift presses on the crossbar 5. while the editing zone lever 3 locks the angle lever. If the cross bracket 5 is pressed down, it rotates the shift lever 6 attached to it for the editing edge in the clockwise direction, so that the

κι inclined actuating element 7 attracted and a microswitch 8 is closed. now is the Setting of the device for automatic line breaking within the editing zone ended.

Occurs in the recording-controlled operation of the

π typewriter now a specific character, for example the character for the space bar, in the editing zone. so the car will automatically / around left edge brought back. If a word is shared wcdjn fully, so if the binding direction button is pressed, then a
