Description

Syllable Typewriter The invention relates to syllable typewriters. with which the individual syllables of a text after simultaneously pressing down several, Keys assigned to each letter type on a paper strip for printing come. After each syllable has been printed, the paper strip is switched on by one line spacing, by the strip of paper in front of those arranged in a row To prepare types to accept a following syllable.

Syllable typewriters are known in which the type series consists of a type group of initial consonants and a type group of final consonants for the syllables there are which type groups the front and rear end of the type series form, while types for the vowels of these groups are included. For every Type a key is provided, namely the Buttons for the initial consonants on the left, the buttons for the vowels for actuation through the thumbs in the middle and the buttons for the final consonants on the right inside the keyboard formed by the keys.

When choosing keys to print a syllable, the order is their arrangement in the keyboard, which is synonymous with the order of the types in the type series is to be observed. From this it can be seen that in one line of the On the strip of paper, only as much of a syllable can be printed as the sequence of letters the syllable consecutively from the sequence of types of the type series or from the sequence the buttons can be selected. Is z. B. when keying in a syllable the key sequence ignored, it can happen that the syllable is wrong, namely with letter rearrangements comes to the print.

Due to the fact that the key sequence must be observed in the above-mentioned machines when keying in by simultaneously hitting several keys, it often happens that a syllable has to be distributed over several lines of the print strip, that is, that printing processes have to be triggered several times for a syllable. Saving lines and thus faster work is achieved with known 'machines in which each type contains a whole syllable or other letter combinations. But since a large number of such syllables or letter combinations must be represented in the machine. An equally large number of types and associated keys must also be provided, making the machine either bulky or imperfect. Therefore, these machines are not necessarily designed to produce a record according to the script, but more according to the pronunciation, which makes the produced text difficult to read.

According to the invention, left and right of -by the thumb is to be operated Vowel keys each have a set of to be actuated by the remaining fingers of each hand Consonant keys provided and each set to the left and right of toggle keys limited, each of which simultaneously with one of the adjacent consonant keys can be operated by the small or the index finger and when using it the type affiliation of all keys of the limited set of consonant keys changes.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings, with in advance It may be noted that the key lettering in the drawing figures of the peculiarity is selected according to the English language.

In order to keep the number of keys small, the possibility is provided to give the platen roller three different height settings, so that of each Type carrier three types can be imprinted.

Certain type keys occur several times, so that different character strings, such as L. St, Ts, Lt and TI. can be represented with ease.

The arrangement of the buttons is kept as simple as possible. ' uni itself easy to impress on the memory, on what the speed of writing depends.

So that all keys are easily touched by the fingers with short vertical movements can be reached, the buttons are built closely together.

Care has been taken to ensure that digits, capital letters, spaces. Tab shift, punctuation marks, special types and bug fixes as well as insertions or deletions of text sections can be made.

The four fingers of the left hand must have 9 different initial consonants and write consonant combinations, the two thumbs 25 vowels and vowel combinations, the four fingers of the right hand iig different final consonants and consonant connections, Of which ten connections contain an apostrophe and 39 connections contain a final "e".

The sequence of consonant keys goes from left to right and in .the rows from top to bottom. Accordingly, the key sequence for the fingers is the left hand as follows: SJGPMCFBTWDLYHR (Fig. 2). On your paper tape (Fig. 10 and ii) is the order of the characters to be represented by printing or punching left to right so that the first column is an error start column and the next is an error closure column, followed by 15 columns of initial consonants, then one Column for left vowels and one column for right vowels, then 15 columns for Closing consonants and on the right-hand side a column for spacing markings follow. From the foregoing can be seen. that a paper tape is full in width 35 columns is required to include uni hole or pressure information.

Although the majority of letter combinations by a stop are shown, certain combinations require two keystrokes. The keyboards however, are designed so that the combinations which have more than one stop require, do not occur frequently. The keyboard shown in Fig. 2 can do all To represent initial consonant connections finite only with one stop. All to the middle "Eli-vowel combinations finite except for two, can be done with a stop to be presented; these vowel combinations are as follows, consisting of three elements: iou and eau, which are seldom found in written and spoken words. Of the ii9 final consonant combinations, all finite exceptions of i3 can be replaced by a Stop are represented. These are the rare combinations: ys, ntry, ff, gn, 1p, vy, bly, fty. inpl, mply, ckly, type and mp, each of which can be represented by two stops.

The two keyboards shown are similar in terms of each other their construction and their operation in such a way that they can only be found in the arrangement the characters on the keys differ from one another, the preferred arrangement being which can be seen from FIG.

The following description makes particular reference to the keyboard . of Fig. 2, although it is clear that the other keyboard operates in the same way can be used.

The keyboard of FIG. 2 assumes that the usual Hand positions are those in which the fingers of the left hand control the keys Cover F, B, T and W while the thumb of the left hand is over the E key. The fingers of the right hand cover the keys C, G, - \ L and T, and the thumb is above the right-hand E key. Brief movements of a finger backwards or brings it forward via other keys. The right index finger can z. B. move from the C key to the R key or the T key. The little finger of the right Hand can move backwards or forwards and backwards with a slight movement can be used on the right to press the T, V, D, H, E or S keys.

The thumb is pushed forward a little so that it is both over the E button as well as above the A button comes to their common Stop the letter I is printed, while with further advance of the thumb the A key alone comes to a stop and the letter A corresponding to it is printed will. Similarly, a small backward movement of the thumb arrives this via the keys E and O, so that these two keys are pressed when you hit it be, finite the success of printing the letter U. With further declining Movement of the thumb can only be achieved using the key O. when it is hit, the corresponding letter 0 is printed.

Each of the thumbs can be used to strike the gap rails 2o or 21 can be used when printing a complete word or the end of a word has been. The stop of these rails can be used in conjunction with the stop of Vowel keys or independently. So a thumb can use a single vowel key, two vowel buttons to print a third vowel (as indicated by the dashed circle 23), a vowel key and the space bar (as indicated by the circle 2.4 indicated) or attach the gap rail alone. For every thumb there are eleven effective positions for the various key presses mentioned to evoke.

Each finger button can strike any of three types, viz a type normally assigned to the key or one of two other types under adjustment the paper roller when actuating the changeover rails 25, 26, 27 and 28. The unistell rails a5 and 26 are struck by the index fingers of the right and left hand, respectively and the changeover rails 27 and 28 through the small f itiger of the right and the left hand. The changeover rails can be used alone or in association with one or two consonant keys are pressed (indicated by the circles 29 or 30).

When the shift key 28 is pressed, the types shown in the upper left corner of the consonant keys of the left group are printed. while the types shown in the upper right corner of the same key for at Ahdrucl g edrückter rail 26: arrive. If, for example, the W key is pressed together with the Lmstellschielie 28, then the type @o is printed, while when you hit the Dich W key with the switch bar 26 pressed, the letter is printed. When the W = rest is struck for itself alone, without dal; ; at the same time- a universal rail is pressed. <iailn the letter W is printed. The Unistellschiene 2; chooses. when it is pressed. the types for 'len _ @ bdruci: <Lit> and ilie Utnstellscliiene 2; the types shown in the reclit <> citi - en olleren corner 41er -sleiclieii keys. So if z. B. clie with the L-adjusting rail 2 depressed; is struck, d, 111 willint the i "uclistabe L to print, while if the same key is hit while the changeover rail 27 is pressed, a question mark is printed.

There are places in the keyboard where a single finger can be used two or more letter keys working together, creating syllables, letter combinations or simple words can be printed. For example, the second finger on the left The hand can hit the T and H keys at the same time (circle 31), the little finger the right hand the keys H and E (circle 32). The third finger of the left hand can be set in such a way that the word "fly" (circle 33) to print.

Error buttons 34Q and 35Q are arranged to be removed from the bale the left and right hand can be struck.

From the foregoing it can be seen that when using the shorthand keyboards the hands maintain their position while the fingertips move around small ways move out of their basic positions. Such a key connection from which the achievement depends on high speed is impossible with earlier keyboards, as with these a large number of keys, some of which were far apart. was present, whereby the overview for the key operation was difficult, especially when the Attention to another target point, e.g. B. to a dictating person or was also directed to a page to be written off.

As can be seen from FIG. 6. are the stop heads of all Keys and rails in the same horizontal plane so that fingers move quickly You can move the keyboard back and forth.

The keyboard can be used to control various devices Type to be used to generate various documents with block letters or lettering. The devices shown in the drawings and described below can be used to generate three types of re-registration strips. namely first a punched tape 34 finite preprinted types. as shown in Fig. 10, second: a printing strip 35, as shown in FIG. i i, or a perforated strip 36 finite print marks attached to the holes, as shown in FIG.

The machine which is used to create the perforated tape shown in to serves, ztni, -iclist should be described.

The \ lechanisnlus is between two sides, ;; and 38 (Fir. (i. e and i;) stored. where the side plates sit on one (round plate 3), which a c Jehünse 4o deceives. Two Sets of rotatable bearings Key levers are placed on a pair of shafts 41 and .i2, which are in .den side walls the device are stored. The vowel key levers 43, the error levers 44, 45 and an intermediate space lever 46 sit on the lower shaft 42, while all consorrant keys love147 and the changeover levers 48 and 49 sit on the upper shaft 41. Because of the manifold Intersections that are eligible for the upper lever set to get their ends into the To bring the correct position for the surveillance, five are offset against each other Layers are provided for key lever sections which line up the section line 15 of FIG. 6 cross. Between the left gap rail 2o and the gap circuit effecting lever 46, a connection 5o is provided (Fig. 8). The levers will by two sets of springs 51 and 52, which act on the levers, in the up position held. The springs are suspended from rods 53, 54 which are located between the side plates are attached. The upper edges of the button levers strike against shock absorbers 55 and 56 which are attached to the housing. Limit slotted guide plates 57, 58 and guide the levers and act as stops for the downward movement of the levers. Spacer rings 59 sit on the supporting shafts of the levers. All keys act on one Switching mechanism for the registration hand 34 (Fig. 1o), whereby this respective step-by-step circuit is issued, which each time you press three keys the tape by three preprinted print lines upstream. For this purpose a rod 6o (Fig. 6 and 8) provided, which rotates in bearings of the side walls 37, 38 and a short arm 61 and a long arm 62, both of which sit firmly on the bar. Between the arm 6i and the lever 62 are a pair of rods 63 and 64, of which the first is under the upper set of button levers and the latter under. lays the lower set of button levers. A spring 65, which the lever 62 with a Connecting pin on the side wall 37, seeks the lever and the rods against the direction of rotation of the clockwise (Fig. 6) to rotate so that the rods are against the Place the underside of the button lever.

The stroke of each key causes one of the rods to be depressed 63, 64 and the circuit of the switching lever 62 for the paper strip in the direction of rotation of the clockwise up to the position 66 shown in dash-dotted lines The rear end of the lever 62 carries a pin 67 which passes through a slot 68 protrudes in a slide switch movable in the vertical direction. A feather 70, which with one end with the pin 67 and with its other end finite eirein pin 71 is connected, which sits at the lower end of the slide 69, seeks to cause the slider to participate in the upward movement of the lever as soon as one or more keys are pressed at the same time. The upward movement the slide 69 is by an adjusting screw; 2 limited, which is a tenon 73 penetrated on the left-hand side wall 37. The end of the screw 72 forms an adjustable stop for a shoulder 74, which is seen laterally at the bottom End of the slide 69 is located.

The slide 69 which controls the paper transport is in its vertical movement guided by a pair of pins 75 and 76 which are slots provided in the slider 77 and 78 enforce. These slots are slightly wider than pins 75 and 76, so that they have plenty of leeway in the slots. This is done so that the Shift teeth 79 on one side of the slide 69 free on the teeth of a ratchet wheel 8o be able to pass when the slide is raised. A spring 81, which between the slide and the lever 62 is tensioned, serves to engage the toothing 79 to keep with the teeth of the ratchet 8o.

A pawl 82 engages in the toothing of the ratchet wheel 8o, which prevents the ratchet wheel from turning clockwise, while the slide 69 performs an upward movement. As the Slide 69, the teeth 79 being in engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 8o, becomes the wheel 8o counterclockwise under the influence of the strong Spring 65 turned. At the same time, this spring acts by means of the lever 62 and the rods 63 and 64 on the raising of the key levers and their return to the basic position.-The Paper strip 34 (Fig. 6) is pulled off a roller 83, which on a shaft 84 is attached. The paper strip runs from the roll around a guide roller 85 and then up past a die plate 86, which is between the two Side walls of the device with screws 87 is attached. After passing at the die plate 86 runs the paper strip between the switching roller 88 and a Pressure roller 89 through and finally go over a paper table, whereupon he leaves the machine through an opening on the back of the housing 4o.

The rollers 85, 88 and 89 (Fig. 9) sit on axes gi, 92 and 93 which pass through the two side walls. The axes gi and 93 are firmly seated in the side walls (FIG. 15), while the axis 92 can be rotated so that the transport roller 88 is operated both automatically by the ratchet wheel 8o and manually by means of a button 9 on the right-hand end of the shaft 92 : 4 (Fig. 15) can be rotated. .

The ratchet wheel 8o does not drive the shaft 92 directly, but instead by frictional engagement with a clutch disc 95 which is keyed to the shaft is. A shell-like resilient disk 96 presses the clutch disk against the Ratchet wheel 8o. The ratchet 8o lies against a washer 97, which means a screw 98 screwed into the end of the shaft 92 is fixed. If that Ratchet wheel 8o rotated counterclockwise by the slide 69 is, then the wheel transmits its rotation to the clutch disc 95, which is fixed sits on the shaft, which in turn is firmly connected to the roller 88, so that the paper strip is connected upstream.

Because of the friction drive, the paper strip can be turned back, although a rotation of the ratchet wheel 8o in the clockwise direction by the pawl 82 (Fig. 6) is prevented. When the paper strip is to be withdrawn, order to punch an error mark or to take notes on the one resting on the table top 9o To make part of the paper strip or for any other reason. can he Button 94 is detected and the shaft 92 can be rotated directly by it. The button 9.4 can also be rotated to switch the paper strip in the forward direction. if certain sections of the same are to be switched off. Such a twist of the ratchet 8o counter-clockwise - in the sense of FIG. 6 - can follow easily because the slide 69 and the pawl 82 are out of the path of movement the shift teeth are disengaged when the ratchet wheel moves in this direction turns. When the paper strip is withdrawn, the roller 83 can be manually to be turned around. around the paper strip tightly over the perforated die 86 and around the ZValze 85 to pull away.

In FIG. 9, the device for punching 33 of the 35 Columns reproduced. which are provided on your paper strip 34. as shown in FIG are. The control organs for bringing about the required position for the purpose of .Select one of three holes in each Map column. The two remaining columns under the 35 columns of the paper strip; are the two middle columns of the strip, which are used to represent vowels to serve. The facility provided for this purpose will be explained later, while first the explanation of the perforation of consonants and special characters should be given.

In Fig.io, the length enclosed by the X bracket denotes the switching step, which the paper strip executes after each keystroke. You can see that within this section of paper there are three pre-printed lines, below which one or more holes can be punched. Such holes can be under all three lines or some of them can be provided. a word or a To represent part of a word that is generated by a finger stroke. Each hole finds its translation through the imprint immediately above it of the paper strip. For example, through the first row of holes, which is in the paper strip representation of Fig. 10, the word "the" shown and also a space "SP".

The switching devices for the paper strip are set by the adjusting screw 72 (Fig. 6) so that the switching of the paper strip is limited to the length X (Fig. 10), the perforation is to begin when the paper strip is in such a position is located that the top print line of the paper strip appears immediately above the top row of openings ioi (FIG. 9) in the perforated matrix plate 86. The hole matrix 86 contains two further rows of openings 10a and 103, and there are 35 openings in each row. The middle row of openings is usually assigned a row of 33 punches 104, which are divided into two groups. The group on the left with 17 punches is located in a guide block io5 and is operated by buttons 26 and 28 by means of the left hand, while the group on the right contains 16 punches. which are guided in a block similar to block 105 and operated by keys 25 and 27. The group of punches on the left is used to display the 15 initial consonants and the error characters, while the group of punches on the right is used to display the end consonants and the space symbol.

With the three rows of the two middle Loclistempelöffnun ;; en the LIatrize work together punches for the representation of vowels. The> e punching device distinguishes: I from <ler 1_uclieinriclitun., - for the conson: intendaresentin ', as @pater will become apparent. At the punching device For the consonant punching, each punch 104 is usually followed by a Coil spring io6 withdrawn (Fig. 9), which coil spring between a Approach of the associated punch and one in the guide slot for the punch protruding nose is clamped. The rear of each punch 104 is extended to a foot 107, which in the movement path of a hammer slide io8, which is loosely mounted in a rectangular bar iog, which is between the side walls of the device sits. There is a hammer slide for each punch io8 provided. At the end of each hammer slide io8 is an arm iio of a pair of knee lifters no, i i i articulated, while the other lever i i i of the Iiniehebelpaares is placed on a rod 113, which is firmly mounted in the frame side walls is. The pin connecting the two arms i io, i i i in an articulated manner is denoted by i i? The pivot pin 112 penetrates the slotted end 114 of a link 115, which is connected to a key lever 47 by a pin 116. Every consonant, Error and space key is through a special toggle system with a Hammer slide io8 coupled, as can be seen from FIG.

If a consonant key lever 47 is operated, then the assigned Link 115 a stretching of the toggle lever pair i io, i i i connected to it, so that the hammer slide is moved to the left and the one in front of it Hole punch 104 through the paper strip 34 into the hole die opening located in front of it io2 drives. When the pressed key is then released, the key lever becomes 47 raised by the spring 51 so that the handlebar 115 goes up again and the Toggle lever i i o, i i i pushed through so that the slide io8 is pulled back and the plunger 104 also returns to the starting position through its spring io6. A stripping plate 117 holds the paper strip in contact with the perforated die. so that it cannot be taken away by the receding punch.

The slot opening 114 at the upper end of the handlebar i 15 is used to to allow the handlebars i 15 a certain idle movement before the toggle lever i i o, i i i to stretch and to advance the punch 104 through the slide io8 begins. During this idling movement, a mechanism can take effect the row of punches 104 out of the central position, in which they are in Coincidence with the perforated die openings io-, are to be adjusted so that they are in Coincide with the row of holes toi or 103 of the hole matrix.

There are two changeover mechanisms for the row of punches. one for the right-hand and one for the left-hand punch group. The two changeover devices have the same device, so that only one of them needs to be explained in connection with FIG. At your lever 48 at i 18 a pawl i i9 belonging to the changeover mechanism is articulated, which is provided with a hook-shaped end, by means of which it is able to grasp a pin i2o which protrudes from the side surface of a changeover cam 121; this is rotatably placed on a rod 122 which is mounted between the side walls of the frame. Opposite the pawl is a similar pawl 123, which is mounted at 124 on the switching lever 49 and is able to grasp a pin 125 which protrudes from the side surface of the cam 121, which lies away from the side surface having the pin i2o. The links iig and 123 are pulled by springs 126 and 127 against stop rods 128 and 129, respectively, so that usually the upper, hook-shaped ends of both pawls are outside the path of movement of the pins i2o and 125, respectively. Each pawl can grasp the pin assigned to it and take it with it during its downward movement, without this movement being hindered by the other pawl.

At the cam 121 engages a spring 130, which it in a certain Seeks to keep the central position and leads him back into this when he passes through one of the Cams zig, 123 has been removed from the center position.

The cam i-, i has three concentric to its axis of rotation 122 Edge portions, namely a most projecting portion 131, a portion 132 of medium projection and a section 133 of smallest projection. One Roller 134, which sits on an arm 135. is usually made by a spring 136 held in abutment with portion 132 of the cam rim. One end of the support arm 135 of the roller 134 is fixedly mounted at 137, while its other end with a Link 138 that is articulated to an upwardly directed one Approach 139 of the punch guide block io5 is located.

When the adjusting key lever 49 is moved downward, the pawl becomes 123 directed downwards, whereby it is a little in the sense of the stop rod 129 clockwise so that its hook-shaped end themselves pushes over the pin 125 and takes it with the further downward movement, wherein rotation of the cam 121 occurs counterclockwise; this has the consequence that the arm carrying the roller 134 is swung upwards, while the roller is on the farthest edge portion 131 of the cam runs up. With the upward oscillation of the arm 135, the block 1o5, in which the punch io4 are guided, moved upwards so that the punch to cover with the top row of perforated die openings 1o1. Because the voiding movement of the block tos during the initial portion of the downward movement of the key levers occurs, the setting of the punch row 104 takes place with respect to the rows of die openings before the hammer slides 1o8 are actuated and the punch drift through the strip of paper. The hammer slides io8 are designed so that they operate the punch in each of their three setting positions.

To further clarify the changeover device, this should be added will be explained on a particular case, it may be assumed that the W key was struck at the same time with the slide button 26. The dock 121 (Fig. 9) will rotated and the guide block 1o5 raised for the punch 104, like this has been explained, so that the punch to be posted, which is the one in the twelfth column of the paper strip (Fig. io) is, a hole not under the letter W punched out, as would be the case if no conversion were made, but punch out a hole under the letter N, which is in the one above the Letter W is located on lying line.

The hitting of the switching lever 48 has the downward movement of the this lever coupled pawl iig result; while the rod 118 acts on the Pawl and brings the hook-shaped end over the pin 120, so that with further Downward movement of the lever 4.8 of the cam 121 a rotation in the direction of rotation of the clockwise experiences, the arm 135 executes a downward oscillation. by the role 13._j. to the edge portion 133 of the cam closest to the center of rotation 122 121 passes. When the arm 13.5 swings down, it takes the block to; finite. where the punch 1o4 guided in the block to coincide with the row of holes 103 der 1_ocllinatrize # -elaiheil.

The effect of the actuating and adjusting device is still on one further example will be explained, whereby it may be assumed that the J key (Fig. 2) is posted at the same time with the Umstellschiene 28. The cam 121 (Fig. 9) will then operated so that the guide block 1o5 for the punch is lowered "-order is, as has already been explained. The impact of the J key then results in that there is no hole in the fourth column from the left in the paper strip in FIG is punched out under the letter J, but under the number 2.

From Fig. 2 it can be seen that each key in the consonant group is provided with two markings on both of its upper corners. These character marks are each attached to that side of the key finger piece which the Changeover rail is closest, by actuating your selection for the paper strip perforation he follows. The two markings co and N, and are on the finger piece of the W key the former on the left side of the finger piece. This side is the changeover rail 28 more adjacent than the other side of the finger piece; hence this sign will shown when the switch rail 28 is hit at the same time with the W key, while the letter N is displayed if the key W is pressed at the same time the Umstellschiene 26 is posted, which the letter 1T on the key finger piece is more adjacent.

In the group of keys on the right-hand side, the L \ 1 key bears the marking L in the upper left corner, so that this character is displayed if the switch rail 25 on the left is hit at the same time as the -M key, while the question mark is displayed if when the button lI is pressed, the switching rail a on the right; is also posted.

In addition to the adjustment mechanism, which is through the rails 26 and 28 is actuated and which can be seen from Fig. 9, there is still another similar changeover device, which is located immediately behind it in the sense of FIG and is operated independently of the former. For this further Umstellvorrichtun, - A special guide block 105 is provided for associated punch. as special changeover rails 2; and .2; which allzlischlageil by the right hand are. One hand can therefore use the sonant keys for itself alone or at the same time with one of the two linear rails, while the other hand is independent da @ -oii in turn consonant keys and optionally one of the ones provided for them Unlstellschienen: Lii> clllageil lCann. Any of the two rows of punches can in cover finite one of the three reaming openings in the punch die while the other row of punches is at the same time as well be brought into register with any row of holes in the punch die can. In this way there is an extraordinary variety in the choice of symbols guaranteed.

The guide blocks io5 for the punch are in the vertical direction guided by four slide guides i4o, 142, the guide parts 140 on one rectangular beam 141 are fixed between the side panels of the frame is stored. Each block is provided with two downward facing slide bodies 142 provided, which lead in the grooves of the body 140. The tours can be designed swallowtail-shaped.

The vowel keys (Fig. 16) control a different punching device, which is independent of the changeover organs. The crossbar iog is in its center widened and provided with a web 143, which carries six angle levers 144, of which three each sit on one side of the bridge. The angle levers are step-shaped arranged offset from one another and placed on pin 145, the topmost Angle lever by a handlebar 146 "with the button lever 43 for the vowel A, the middle angle lever by the handlebar 146, with the key lever 43 of the vowel E and the lowest angle lever by the handlebar 146, with the lever 43 for the vowel O connected is. On the back of the ball reindeer there is a punch holder 147, which carries three pairs of vowel punches 148, which with their right end the Bars' iog prevail and stand against the ends of the upward arms of the Place angle lever 144. The top pair of punches can be used together or separately by the uppermost pair of angle levers 144, which are coupled to the two A keys is, actuated -, are. The middle pair of punches is with the two E buttons and the lower pair of punches are connected to the two O keys. Coil springs 149 are between an approach of a punch and an approach of the punch holder 147 clamped so that the punch simultaneously with the key lever 43 in their Basic position can be returned by springs acting on them.

From the previous description of the establishment of the punch mill for vowels it can be seen that each of the six vowel punches or any Combination of the same can be actuated to create vowel representations in the paper strip 34 to generate. From Fig. 1o it can be seen that 'in the first one through it Hole shown word in the final column only the letter E is punched. For your second word, which is in the area of the next three lines of characters is perforated, an -A and an E-hole appear in the same column for illustration of the letter i in your word "kind". In the hole representation of the third NN location if the letter E is punched in one column and the letter O in an adjacent column, to represent the vowel combinationseo in your word "people".

The gap perforation appears in the paper column on the far right. This hole is punched under the control of one of the space keys 2o, 21 (Fig. 2), actuating the punching device shown in FIG. 9. Because the punch 104 for the gap perforation in the right-hand guide block io5 sits and there this guide block adjusted according to the desired final consonant perforation the holes in the space can appear in one of the three rows of holes. the Error punch holes appear in the first two columns on the left edge of the paper strip. The two punches provided for this purpose are also provided by facilities such as they are shown in Fig. 9, operated by hitting keys 34a, 35a (Fig. 2).

Usually it is necessary before an error key to designate of the beginning of a point on the recording strip which during transmission should be omitted, is pressed, turn the knob 94 (Fig.15) to the Pull back the paper strip to the point where the faulty point begins. For this purpose, a glass window i5o (Fig. 6) is arranged, which has an opening closes in the housing 40 so that the operator can find out the point where an error key begins or reaches its end, so that the error punch at the right place.

Many words can be represented by holes made within a single length of paper X with three lines of characters. Such Words are put into one or both hands by a single keystroke Braille shown. The first word "the", which is in the top row of holes Fig. io is shown is generated by a keystroke by means of Finger of one hand, the next word "child" through a keystroke both hands, the third word must be divided into two parts. The first part "PEO" is created by striking it with both hands, the second part »PLE« is best generated by Num # blow by means of both Hands. Other longer words require an alternating number of keystrokes and when the hands are used in different ways depending on the number of letters and the arrangement of the same in the word to be written. .

In a modified form of the invention, a printed font stenography can also be used instead of the hole stenography. In this case, a paper strip 35 is printed by the machine, as shown in FIG. Ii. The paper strip, which is obtained with the perforated font stenography, the result of which is shown in FIG z are shown, described. In Fig. 13 a device for actuating the lever of a typewriter is shown. which has a similar design as the device for hole stenography already described and shown in FIG. so that this device for pressure stenography does not need a detailed description. It should be emphasized, however, that in the device shown in FIG. 13 a changeover block carries three sets of type rods 1.54, and that a paper roller is provided over which the paper strip is guided instead of the perforated matrix. The paper roller 151 sits loosely on a WelIC i; 2 between the side walls of the machine frame, carries two paper strips, namely an outer strip 3; for receiving an original and behind the same with the interposition of a copy sheet a paper strip 35.1 for a print through.

The adjustment of this type block always takes place before the link 115 causing the pressure reaches the toggle lever pair 11o. i11 has stretched sufficiently. to move the hammer slide i05 and hit the type 154 against the ribbon 153.

The printing device shown in FIG. 13 allows printing in all columns of the paper strip 35 shown in FIG. 11, except in the two middle vowel printing columns, for which the printing device has the design shown in FIG. In the case of the latter, three key levers 43 for the vowels A, E, O are provided with attachments i_56 and 158, respectively, which increase in length for the three levers one after the other. Between the vocal key levers sit rotatably on a rod 4z arms 159 and 16o (FIG. 5), each of which is provided with a wire 161 and an attachment part 162. They sit between the three vowel key levers, so that when two vowel keys are struck at the same time, arm i19 or arm 16o is taken along. For example, if the A key and the E key are struck at the same time, the attachment part 162 (FIG. 5) is carried along. so that the arm r, 59 connected to it also moves downwards. If only one vowel beloved is struck, then the attachment pieces move to the side and the arms 1, 39, 16o remain in their upper position. The lower part of the arm i> q also protrudes an approach 163 downwards over the liäiigestüclce 16: the -companies out: ent- speak is also rler arm i60 with one downwardly protruding shoulder 164 provided.

The sector 167 is i111 tooth engagement 1111t a toothed drive 173, which is in fixed connection with a lock washer 17 +, which is loosely placed on the shaft 122. Against the circumference The cam disk 17 + lies on a roller 176, which is arranged on a lever 175 which is loosely placed on the pin 137. The cam disk 174 has five concentric box sections of gradually increasing radius, which correspond to the five different angular rotations which the angle disk under the influence of the group of five lugs 156, 157, 1.98, 163 and 164. The lug 164 gives the disk the greatest angular rotation and the angle z 156, which is furthest away from the rail 165, is the smallest inleldrellulig, while the other three approaches cause angular rotations of the ock disc 174 which lie between the two limit values. In connection with the angular rotations imparted to it, the TOCk disc 174 causes a more or less strong lifting of the lever 175 carrying the roller 176 with its end remote from the axis of rotation 137, which is in pin-and-slot connection 177 with an up and down movable type carrier 178 in which five vowel types 179 are stored. A spring ISo acts on the pin 177, which reaches through the slot of the lever 175. which strives to keep the type carrier 178 in its lower position and the roller 176 in contact with the circumference of the cam disk 174. Each type 179 is held in its remote position from the paper roller by a small helical spring 181.

The top type on type carrier 178 is the A type, the second the E-Type and the third the O-Type. When both the A key and the E key are pressed then the attachment piece 162 they have taken pulls the arm 159 and the Approach 163 and then the rail 16; downwards, so that sector 167 oscillates and the ock disc 174 rotates, the fourth stage of the ock disc got under oarlock 176. The associated setting of the type bar 178 brings the I -type into the printing position opposite the ink ribbon 15 3.

A fixed slotted part 182 forms a guide for the Volcaltype beam 178. The Typelt 179 are counterbalanced by a Hamlnierschiene 183 hit the paper roller T @ 1. over which the paper strips 1135 and ;;, 1 passed are. The 1-laminator rail 183 slides into your guide ball 1o9 and is at a narrow Knee joint pair 18.4, 186 finite knee joint 185 articulated. The arm 186 of the Kilie Hebelpaa.res is rotatably placed on a fixed rod 113. The operation of the knee pair I84, 186 is carried out by a handlebar 187 attacking the (leleill: point I85. which is bent at its lower end 1) e1 189 and under all three vowel key levers 4.3 takes effect. Each time you hit a vowel key or a combination two such buttons, the handlebar 187 is moved downwards and stretches the pair of knee joints 154., 186, so that the hammer bar I83 against the type in the printing position rushes forward. Between the lower edge of the vocal keyboard hel) el. #;. 3 and the bent Part 189 of the handlebar 187 is, as shown in FIG. can be seen a certain Space. While a type lever .a.3 measures this gap, the Type balls 178 are set. A spring engages the knee joint pin 185 188, which each time pulls the hammer rail I83 back into its basic position and the pair of levers 184, 186 in the ready position for a new printing process brings.

The printing device for the vowels, which is shown in Fig. ..L is, like that shown in Fig. 13, in the center of the syllable typewriter arranged between the two consonant printing devices. - From Fig. II is evident. that short words like the words "the" or "kind" are printed on a line while the word "people" requires two lines. Certain words or Parts of a word can be printed while with the sweep of a hand others require the use of the fingers of both hands. The line spacing Z between Split vain word is only half the line spacing Y between two Words. The larger line spacing is made possible by a special transport device for the printing machine. This particular transport facility will Effective every time a space key is pressed together with the other keys Purpose of Printing of a whole word or the last part a long word is posted.

The particular transport device for further spacing apart printed words on the registration tape is shown in FIG. It can be seen from this figure that the paper ratchet So, the associated pawl 82, the slide 69 and the adjustable stop 72 have the same design as in the case of the transport device which was described earlier with reference to FIG. The associated arm 62 "is different in that its axis of rotation 6o is closer to the rear end of the machine, so that the arm performs less oscillating motion when the rail is actuated by the levers 43 and 47. This arrangement is hit because the usual line spacing Z (Fig. ii) on the printing strip 3; is much smaller than the line spacing X of two groups of lines (Fig. to) on the punched tape 34. A smaller swinging movement of the pin 67 of the lever 62 results in a smaller upward movement of the slide 69 and accordingly also a smaller angular rotation of the indexing wheel So and the shaft 92 which is decisive for the paper advance.

The device for producing the larger line spacing I- (FIG. Ii) between two words can also be seen from FIG. If a space key 2o or 21 is struck at the same time as a character key or without one, then a space lifter 146Q experiences a downward movement around the shaft 42. The space key 21 is connected to the lever 46 by a cross connection 5o. A pin igi on the lever 46 ″ passes through a slot 192 in a link 193 which hangs on a U ″ angle lever 194 which is rotatably mounted at 195. A spring 196 seeks to pull the angle lever 194 against a stop 197, while another spring 198, which is stretched between a point on the link 193 and the pin igi. seeks to lift the lever 46 and hold the pin igi against the upper edge of the slot 192. At the upper end of the angle lever 194, a handlebar i99 is attached, which is articulated to an arm 200 at its other end. which is loosely attached to (lie Transport - #. @ - ei @ e c>?. 1-) he Arrr Zoo carries a handle toi. which cooperates with the tooth number t.les i'ades #; o. An adjustable Ail- # chla-T for the angle lever i94 in F!) Rm a screw 2n2 in a \\ 'arze 203 is on the <side of the cre> set wall 37 fore> pulled. When the lever 46 ″ of a space key is moved downwards, the angle lever 194 is rotated clockwise, with the handlebar 99 being carried along to the lower right, and the arm Zoo swinging to the right, which results in the pawl 2o2 sliding over ineffectively The rotation of the angle lever 194 is limited by the impact of the lever on the screw 202. The release of the space key allows the lever 46 to go up again, the entire linkage being returned to the original position under the influence of the spring 196. During this downward movement of the rod parts, the pawl toi engages in the toothing of the ratchet wheel So and causes a rotation of the shaft 92, so that the printing paper strip 35 (Fig. Ii) is connected upstream by the distance Y. This distance is approximately twice as long as the line spacing Z by which the paper strip is switched under the influence of the slider 69 mm when value keys are pressed. Although the space rail and the value keys are struck and released at the same time, and although the pawl 2oi (Fit -'- 7) and the rack 79 cooperate with the ratchet wheel So, there is no mutual interference; because during a part of the return process both the pawl and the rack seek to turn the ratchet wheel, whereupon the rack 79 comes to a standstill while the pawl toi continues the rotation of the wheel, so that a shift by two spaces instead of just one is going.

To at the end of approaches or other places pressure strips 35 to to precede three line spacings, d. H. by a distance. which equal the route Y increased by the distance Z is the value keys and the space key released one after the other. Each of the buttons can be released first and immediately after it the other key. which entails. that) (lie I, # lii) l; e 2o1 a circuit by two line spacings and the shifter 69 for itself eii) e circuit uni bring about a line spacing. so dali a c total circuit ini extent comes from three simple line breaks.

My third form of stenographic registration is illustrated in FIG. 12. It consists of a honil) ination of Locliscliriit with block letters. A pressure mark also appears under each hole. which gives the meaning of the hole. Instead of all print marks. To print on the paper strip in advance as shown in Fig. 10, only those print characters are printed. «-Which are actually stipulated on your registration strip when stenographing. The production of a hole and the printing of the associated symbol are carried out in one operation using punch 2o5 (Fig. 14), which are connected to types 2o6. The device for the simultaneous generation of holes and their meaning defining printed characters corresponds to the punching device shown in Fig. 9, apart from the different design of the punch 2o5 and a height-adjustable hammer slide 207. Instead of attaching the punch to a block that can move up and down, As is the case with the punching punches according to FIG. 9, the hammer slide 207 is mounted in the block 105E, which can move up and down, while the punches 205 sit in a fixed guide bar 2o8.

33 rows of combined printing and punching punches 2o5 are provided, each of which contains three stamps. There are also two middle rows of special vowel stamps present, which will be explained later. The three stamps of each row are in congruence with the openings ioi to 103 of the perforated matrix 86, so that when a punch is moved to the left in the sense of FIG. 1, the hole section the same a rectangular - punched hole from the paper strip 36 and related so that a printing mark of the type 2o6 on the stamp is printed, if this type hits the paper strip and this against a flexible insert 86 "in the die plate. Guide coil springs 2o9 in the guide bar 2o8 the punch 2o5 return to the basic position after each actuation.

The '33 hammer slide 2o7 fall into two groups, each of which is mounted in a special beam 105E. 17 hammer sliders sit in the guide beam, -, which to the left-hand switching mechanism and the keys for the initial consonants heard, and 16 hammer sliders sit in the beam. which by the right-hand Switching mechanism belongs to the keys for the final consonants.

The hammer slides 105E are usually upstream of the ends of the central punches 2o5. When a toggle lever 49 is moved downward, the blinker 123 is pulled downward, causing the cam plate 121 to rotate counter-clockwise and the guide pad ioSE is raised. so that the hammer slides 207 are positioned in front of the upper punches 205. If, on the other hand, the lever 4.8 is moved downwards so that the pawl becomes effective, the square disk 121 is rotated clockwise and causes the guide bar io5E for the hammer slide 2o7 to be lowered so that it is set in front of the lower stamps 2o5 will.

The impact of a character key has the consequence that the link 115 connected to it is moved downwards and stretches the pair of toggle levers i io, iii so that the slider i08 coupled to it is moved to the left and pushes the hammer slider 207 so that it drives the one in front of it Lochstempe12o5 actuated. Each hammer slide 207 is assigned a spring 2i0, which returns its slide to the basic position after each actuation if this is also done by the spring 5i with the toggle lever pair.

Between the left-sided and right-sided group of combined Hole and pressure stamps are two rows of 6 vowel stamps each. This one Stamps must be pressed in combination to represent the vowels i and u, they cannot be reached by a stop mechanism as shown in FIG is to be operated. Rather, the stamps must each be struck separately, as shown for the vowel punches in FIG. That which can be seen from FIG The facility can be kept unchanged; just have to go to the punches Types can be provided if, at the same time as the holes, there are also printed characters on the paper strip should be produced.
