` To all whom'tmay (1o-mem:-

Be `it known that I, JOSEPH RABnm a .citizen of the United States, residingnt Poplar Bluff, Missouri,"4 have invented a- A5 new'aind useful Adding and "Recording Macation:

. [lhjis invention relates recording maf chin'es, and more particularly "to adding and` recording machines, the general object beingto provide key mechanism forv an .add-.f

' The"type of" d'ding ,and li'ecording maL chinestol which this invention relates is disclosed an application .fiiled iby l Hubert y 1903,. Serial. No. 1403390, 'and patentedfin' England No. 854

of 1904.2'. In" the; Hopkins machine', which" includes ftypewritingmechanism .having a 'complete key-'board andan adding and recordin'g mechanism having 'keys 'separate from'the typewriter keys, thereis' n o means for 'entrainin'g'r the typewriter numeral keys with i'the addinmechanism keys.`

enable""the 'cpeatorrto use the typewriter ,numeral keys for `actuating the typewriting mechanism' or for introducing numbers into.

v the adding'mechanism, as desired.

AA further object is to .provide devices whereby the typewriting mechanism will be disabled and held-against operation when- 'ever the numeral keysnthereof are ventrained with the adding mechanism.

Another? object-"is to provide, in combi- 40 nation withalaterally movable paper car- 'griage and typewritin-g mechanism operable to recordy any desired 'data thereon, means for entraining the typewriter n umeral keysl with 'adding mechanism Jregistering devices,

45. whereby-numbers may' be' set up 'or introduced 'intol the' adding mechanism, and mechanism for preventing lateral operation of the paper-carriage. by the typewrifting'A mechanism while said typewriterlkeys are entrained with "the adding mech:a,'n" ism.

from theffollowing detail description.

mechanism numeral-1evers..'-Figs; 9' and" ine . anism being controlled in any known man-v .v moving mechanism may both parts of which are pivotally mounted upon the rod or shaft 3. The rear portions of the numeral-levers have pin-andslot connection with the link e in the same manner as do all of the remaining levers. A coupling is provided between the front part and the rear part of each numeral-lever, whereby operation of a numeral key may be caused to effect operation of the entire lever and thereby the entire train of mechansm, effectively to strike the type 'oars against the platen. These couplings are of duplicate construction, each comprising a sliding block G having slots 7 which receive `pins 8 on the-front portions of the numerallevers. These blocks are dinovablenlongit-udinally, and in their rearward position rest over extensions 9 on the rear parts of the numeral-levers as shown in Fig. 1, thus constituting couplings whereby depression of the numeral keys will result in operation of they entire typewriting trains leading from said keys respectively. The complete train of typewriting mechanism in. addition to the key mechanism described, includes a series of' links 10 pivoted upon a rod or shaft 11 and having pin-and-slot connection 12 with the links 4. The upper ends of the links 10 have links 13 leading to the type bars 14 pivoted upon and supporting rod, 15, preferably in position to constitute a front `strike typewriter. Itwill be noted that the coupling blocks 6 may be moved forwardly beyond the ends 9 of the rear portions of t-he key levers in the typewriter numeral trains, in which position the numeral lkeys may be operated without affecting the remainder of t-he typewriter numeral trains.

The paper carriage 16 is movable laterally, preferably upon -ant-i-friction devices 17, the lateral movement of the paper carriage in operation of the t-ypewriting mechner through the medium of a pinion 18 meshing with a rack 19 on the carriage. Since the -method of stepping the carriage across the machine by operation of the typewriter mechanism constitutes no part of the present invent-ion, such mechanism has not been herein illustrated, it being understood that Aany suitable type of escapement and carriage y be utilized for these purposes, and it being further understood that the carriage may be actuated by any ype of motor, since such devices are old and very well known in the art and may be readily assembled in a machine of this character by anyone familiar with such devices.

In the advance position of the couplings 6, they are immediately over the upwardly' extended ends of adding mechanism numeral-levers 20,.pivoted side by side upon ashaft 21, and having their front ends diverging properly, as shown in Fig.2,-so as tov terminate alongside of the proper typewriter numeral keys. In the present instance, as in the Hopkins patent and application beforeI mentioned, there are ten numeral-levers 20, one for each of the ten numeral characters. Operation of these numeral-levers is necessary in order to introduce any number into the adding mechanism of the machine. In the Hopkins devices the front ends of the numeral-levers are surmounted by keysl arranged adjacent to the typewriter keys and there is no means for preventing operation of the typewriter numeral keys instead of the adding mechanism keys in the listing column. This is the occasion of confusion in many instances, and the operator will not be informed of his error in striking the typewriter numeral keys in the place of the adding mechanism keys until it is too late for correction. These objections are obviated by'the mechanism provided for entraining one set of numeral keys with either mechanism as desired, and preventing operation of both mechanisms simultaneously.

The tabulating key 22 is arranged, in the present instance, at the right of the machine with respect to the 'operator 'in alinement with the row of numeral keys, said Atabulating key comprising a stem supporting a finger piece and operating in a guide 23, and having its lower end resting upon an arm 2-1 which is rigid with a rock shaft 25 supported. below the key-levers 2. Said rock sha-ft extends transversely under the key-levers, and at its end opposite from the arm 24 carries a depending arm 26 to which a link 27 is pivoted, the rear end of said link being connected to the vertical arm of the bell crank lever v28, which is pivotally supported 'at 29. The other arm of said bell crank lever extends forwardly and is pivoted to the lowerend of a vertically movable rod 30, the upper end of which eX- tends through a socket 31 supported by the frame of the machine. A spring 32 encircles the rod 30 within the'socket 31, abutting at its upper end against the frame of the machine in which the rod' 30 has its bearing, and at the lower end against a collar or flange 33 on said rod 30. his spring is effective to actuate the rod 30 downwardly, returning the saine and the connected parts including the tabulating key to idle position after each operation. rlfhe upper end of the rod 30k is under a bar 34 which is carried by two arms 35 attached to the rock shaft 36 by which the rack 19 is supported. Depression of the tabulating key causes the upper end of the rod 30 to lift the har 34 and thereby rock the shaft 536 which carries the rack 19 out of mesh with fthe pinion 18, as shown in Fig. 10. This releases the carriage from the control of the -escapement mechanism and permits the motior (notshoivn) to move the carriage lat- `shoulders .or projections are formed at proper intervals for column spacing or tabulatinagf,A so that' after eachline of type. .writing is completed the carriage may be erally. The lower edge of the bar 34 is provided with a number of projections or shoulders 37, which engage the rod 30 and there# by stop movement of the carriage.` These quickly moved to the proper position for receiving thelists produced by the adding mechanism. Release of 4the tabiilatingi` key -permi`ts the rack .19 to be lowered into engagement with the'pinlon-IS, which engage` ment takes place vjust before the' rod 30 is disengaged from the shoulder 3'?.- The op-I eration of the 4tabulating key also results in shifting` the coupling devices `G, whereby the l numeral keysw'ill be connected with the le-' vers 2() and. disconnected from the typeivriting trains.

A. bell crankflever 38 pivotal'ly mounted at 39-has a'horizontal arln ivoted -to the vertically movable rod 30, and in its dep'ending arm aI slot- 40 is formed. The lever 38' perates adjacent to a verticalplate 41 in which an angular slot 42 is formed, said slotcomprising a horizontal palrt and a ver-"- tical part.

43 indicates a bell. crank lever pivoted to A-inFigz` 1. in which the- 'pin 45 is at the re'il end of the horizontal-part of the angular slot 40. .When Ithe rod 30 is raised by oper;

ytion .of the tabiilating key, the .lower end of I the` lever 38 is moved forwardlv until the n n f' n pin 451s brought above the vertical part of the slot 42. A vertical rod 4T has its lower end above the plane lin which the roller 46 moves, so that when lsaid roller is moved forwardly it passes under -said roi'.. rod 4T isyyieldingly supportedby s sgringl' 48 mounted in asocket 49 on the fi. me of the -niacl'iine. The upper extremity of the rod 4T carries a roller 50 below a bar 51 on the paper carriage. A cam block 52 is ad justably mounted on the bar 51. having a spring-actuated detent 53 adapted to engage in'notclies 54 in-saidbar. By releasing;- the detent 53 thc block 52 may be moved to and latched in any desired adjustment on the bar 51. eration of the block 52 is immaterial. and there are many vwell known devices. capable of use to perform the yfunction of this block."

The l The specitic construction and op l To adjust the mechanism for, operation, so that the machine maybe used for typewritilng'and listing Work, the block 52 should .be .adjusted on the-bar 51 so that when the paper carriage is stopped by the rod 30. said block 52 will have1 passed above and depressed the rod 47, as shown in Figui'. This movement of the rod 47 causes the lower end thereof to press upon the roller 46 and thereby operate the lever 43 as shown in Figs'. 3 and 4. A link 55 is connected to the lower arm of the lever 43, and has its front end mounted in a suitable support 5G, said link is pivted to an arm 5T attached to a rock shaft 58 which extends transversely, and in the proseliti instance through oblique .slots 5 9 in the levers 20, so that said levers vmay be free to operate. A series ofiipwardly extending arms 60 are rigid with the rock shaft 58,'there. being one of .said

arms G0 foreach of the nun-ieral'keys. Links- 61 connect said arms (30 with the respective couplingbloeks (3. It is apparei'it that the operation of'the lever 43 resulting from the depression of the tabulating keytherefore will rock the shaft 58 eti'ectivelyv to shift the couplings 6 forwardly out of engagement 'with the extensions 9 on the rear members lof the typewriter' numeral key-levers, and.

place said couplings above theexten'sions on .v

the levers 20', as showin in Figs. o and 4; .Operation` of thennvmeral keys when the couplings are adjusted in this position.y will have no effect upon the typewriter trains' but. will operate the numeral levers 20 effectively to perform their registering functions. The link 55 also carries a projection G2 in front of. a ,transverse rod or bar (33, which is supported by the lower ends of the peculiarly shaped links G4. The rear portions of the typewriter lnumeral-levers areprof vvided with dependingy parts G5, while the front p'ortionsof said levers are devoid of these projections. The remaining' key levers likewise have projections` (l5. all of said projections being arranged in transverse aline-- nient. Rearward movement of lthclink 55', as previously described. causesI the j'n'ojections G2 to move the rod (i3 beneath the row of projections t'35.`thereby constitiitiii; a loi-k for all of the typewriter keys except .the fron-t portions of the numeral keys which. 'as stated, are not provided with the projecvtifis 65. l'n this way Ithe entire typewritiiig.: mechanism locked against'opeijat ion when-4 -cver the couplings t3 arezidjiisted to entrain .the typewriter numeral keys with the add? in n mechanism numeraldovere. and is held *against operation ,so long as 'the papier cai'- ttriage remains'in position 'tor receiving the listsl from the adding mechanism. The links (54 are peculiarly shaped so that the Art-:iter l vportion of their weight is at' one sidefot' the ipivots whereby the lower ends of said'links .will be swung forwardly when released from iio engagement by link 55.

'lhe typewriter space bar 66 isA of usual construction and operation, land the varms of levers supporting saidbar also -have projections similar to the projections 65, whereby the' space bar will belocked against opera tion Whenever the numeral keys are entrained. with,` the addinginechanisni. The special keys for the typewriter, such as shift keys, etc., are also locked in the same Way.

A. spring 67 (Fig. l) may be employed in connection With the connections leadingto the coupling blocks 6, to assist in returning the couplings to posit-ion in engagement with the typewriting trains Whenever the the proi'ections 62 on the ycarriage is returned to position to .receive records 'from' the typewriting mechanism. In this Way the couplings Will be automatically moved to release the numeral-levers 2O Whenever the paper carriage is in position to receive typewriting records, and said ccaiplings vwilll entrain the numeral keys with. the ,adding mechanism numeral-levers only when the carriage is moved to position to receive the adding mechanism records by,

opcrationvo'i' the tabulating key. The type- Writiiig mechanism may be operated to Write ruil lines across the entire sheet of paper, and will be locked against operation i,1 oi y l, by the tabulating key connections. In dinary use of theftypewriting mechanismv immaterial what position the block 52 upies, and said block may depress the 1 ifo/l t'repeatedly Without affecting the coniiections to the coupling devices, since. in normal position of the lever38, the pin 4:5 and roller 4G are outof the path of travel of said rod 47, as shown in Fig. 1.4 This permits said rod 47 to be raised and lowered repeatedly by the movementof .the block 5 2 thereover Without in any Way aiiectingthe coupling devices on the keys.l It is obvious, therefore, that operation of the tabulating key is necessary in order to aiiect the keylocking mechanism and the coupling devices, and that except when said tabulating key is operated the typewriting mechanism may be operated for any desired purpose vwithout in any Way' affecting the adding mechanism. The mechanism constructed along these lines enables the use of one set of numeral keysV for operating typeivriting mechanism or registering ,numbers in an adding mechanism as desired., he provisions of the tabulating mechanism, the operation of which is necessary in order to introduce numbers i'nto the adding mechanism,simplies -the ina' chine to a great ex tent and provides an etlective safeguard against error, since the locking mechanism controlled by this key Will l positively disable the typewriting mecha nism Whenever'A numbers are being' introduced .into the adding department of the machine; also the 'adding' department is enagainst error.

noeaeaa tirely inoperative so far as the introduction of additional items therein is concerned, Whenever the typewriting department is in operation, thus guarding both mechanisms' l/Vliile I have shown and described a convenient and preferred embodiment of my invent-ion and have made reference tothe Hopkins machine, I do not Wish to be understood as restricting myself to the specific embodiment described, nor to its use in any specific type of combined adding and type- Writing machine, since it will be robvious to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates that there may be various forms of the invention and that it may be used with other types of adding and Writing machines'than those of the Hopkins construction. I do not restrict myself to its use lin any specific sense other than as set forth in the. appendedv claims, but' l .lVhat I desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1.
