I have shown my invention in the present lac instance embodied in a No. 11 Remington machine although some of the parts of that machine are only come tionall represented to simplify the illllSlJilllOD. he invention may be readily included in this machine is.
embodiment of ,of the various forms which the invention stop of the machine out of machine comprises numeral-11, is mounted upon the column 'stopbar to different column determining poadapted to be received in and extend through-the central" opening in the column I bottom edges thereof extend respectively without materially modifying the structural features of the machine as they now exist. It should be understood, however, that the invention maybe embodied in various forms of typewriting machines and may be employed in connection with different characters oftabulating mechanism, the present the'invention' being but one maiylassume. g j the present tance the frame of the a-base 1, corner posts2 and topplate 3. A- carriage 4 is mounted on'antifriction balls or rollers 5 to travel overthe top plate from. side to side of the machine, the carriage as shown supporting the usual cylindrical platen '6. Rearwardly extending bracket arms 7 are fixed by screws 8 to the carriage and are connected at their rear ends to a column stop bar 9. This bar is provided with oppositely extending teeth 10 projecting from the upper and lower sides thereof. A [series of column stops, each designated as a whole the reference bar'for movement thereon fore and aft and into operative position. The stops are also mountedfor relative sliding adjustment along the column sitions. Each column stop is substantially U-shape and is provided with oppositely disposed inwardly projecting teeth 12, which when the stops are moved to operative position, as indicated in Fig.5, are adapted to be received in interdental spaces 13 between adjacent teeth -10 on opposite sides of the column stop bar to lock the stops against sliding adjustment along the stop bar. When, however, the column stops are moved to the inoperative position represented in Fig. 1 and in full lines in Fig. 4, the teeth 12 are received in longitudinally extending channels 14 on opposite sides of the column stop bar so'that the column stops are disengaged-from the rack teeth '10 so that the Y column stop bar and column stops are freed 'from each other to afford .an independentrelative movement between them longitudinally of the stop bar. A retaining bar 15 stops and may be secured 'at'its ends .to the colump stop bar by screws 16. When this retaining bar is secured in place the top and above and below the top and bottom edges of the .colunmsto'p'barso as to cooperate oppositely rojecting teeth 17' to' prevent a removal 0 thecolumn stops fromjthe bar. barlliF is provided with forwardly project-.1 ing teeth 38 and the teeth lT onthe column stops re adapted to be received in the interdental spaces 19 between the teeth. 18 when The retaining a the column stops are moved to operative position, as represented in Fig. 5. Each coltent spring 20 secured at one end to the associated column stop. The free end 21 of each detent spring extends through an opening 22 formed in the associated column stop and bears against the body portion of the column stop bar 9 to aid in maintaining the column stop against accidental displacement from the position to which it may be positioned on the stop bar. The column stops, except for the detent springs, are somewhat like those shown in my prior application hereinbefore referred to and these stops" are mounted on the stop bar and held in place by a retaining bar, as in the prior construe-- tionf Further description thereof is there- .umn stop is preferably provided with a defore deemed unnecessary, except to point out that each stop is preferably of a width that corresponds to a full letter space movement of the carriage and that the different column stops are adapted to one another and to maintain their contact or engaging portions 23 separated at letter space intervals, as represented in Fig. 3.
When the column stops are in the operative position indicated in Figs. 3, and 5, they are positioned so as to cooperate with key controlled tabulator stop mechanism of any suitable character. In the present instance I have shown denominational stop mechanism, such as" is employe in the No. 11 Remington machine. Thus a tabulator frame 24 is fixedly secured to the frame of the machine by screws the purpose of the present invention may be regarded as a part thereof. A series of denominational stop levers 27 are pivoted in the tabulator frame at 28 and extend upwardly and forwardly to form a series of denominational stops 29 the decimal stop being separately indicated by the reference bear directly against 25 and 26, and for numeral 30. These stops extend through the\;
usual guide comb31 and are adapted to be projected into the path of the column stops when the latter are'projected to operative position.- The lower end of each denominational stop lever is connected to an aotuating link 32 which in turn is connected at its forward end'to a depending arm of an angular lever 33, which latter is pivotally mounted on a pivot rod- 3% mounted in the base of the machine. The forwardly. extending arm 35 of each angular lever 33 is operatively connected to a key. stem 36 which carries a denominational key 37, and which is re'ceivedin guide openings 1n guide plates 38 and 39 secured to the frame of the ma which thecarriage is released on the depres- 40, which spring in turn is.

ative column stops and to eiiect a release of the. carriage.
From certain aspects of the invention the means by which the column stops. are
. cleared or moved to inoperative position may be of any suitable character but, as}
shown in the present instance, are: similar to those employed in the No. 11 Remington machine and comprise a clearing device cam or wiper 4C1 formed on the forward end of a stem 42 adapted to move fore and aft' of the machme in a bearing opening 3 formed in the tabulator frame 24 This stem has an inclined cam groorhicxtending diagonally across a fiattened-sidcthereoi? and in which is received'an inclined camjv pr0 ect1on- 45 on a fiattened-fide ota. key controlled actuating member e d.--. An actuation of the member 46 effects a baclr and forth camming movement of the" stem 42 and the wiper carried thereby."-lhe mem ber 46 is received in a bearing opening 47 which extends at right angles to the bearing opening 43in the tftbllltit01' f1ffi11l8 and is provided. at its upper end with a finger piece 48. An expansion spring i9 bears at its upper end against the finger piece 48 and at its lower end against a cup-like containing member 50 which is supported on the top of the tabulator frame. A stem 51 of the member 46 passes freely through a centralppening in the part 50 and is "surrounded by the coiled spring 49. The spring is effective to normally maintain the finger piece and the member 46 in elevated position, and to maintain the wiper ll in the full line position represented in Fig. 2 where it is out of cooperative relation with the operative column stops. When, however, the, finger piece or key 48 is depressed the wiper 4:1 is moved forwardly to the dotted line position represented in'Fig. 2 where it is in cooperative relation with the column stops which are in the'cperative position, and a trziveling movement of the carriage at this time is e ective to cam the operative column, stops from the dotted line to the full lirle position-represented :in Fig. 4 to move the column stops from the operative to the inoperative position. a
The finger piece, 48 is provided with a pin or arm 52 which extends to the right thereof and overlies a crank arm 53 formed with a hub 54. This hub is secured by a set screw 55 to a rock shaft 56 mounted to turn in bearing openings in an upwardly extending ear 57 and in an upwardly extending projection' 58, the ear and projection being formed, inrthe example shown, on a bracket plate 59 secured on top of the tabulator frame 24 by screws '50. The projection 58 is extended hub 62 is secured to the rock shaft 56 by ascrew 63. An arm or column stop positioning device 64 extends forwardly from this last mentioned hub and is bifurcated at its forward end portion to provide two depending arms or fingers 65'and 66 which in the normal position of the arm 64 are arranged. above the column stop bar and out of the path of the columnstops. The arm '64 receives a bearing against, the supporting arm 61, which latter resists the movement of the arm or positioning device at to the right; An ear or stop 67' extends from the upper edge of the supporting arm 61 and overlies the stop positioning device 6% and is adapted to limit the upward movement of the latter. A coiled spring 68 surrounds therock shaft 56 and bears atone end against the bracket plate 59 and is received at its opposite end, as at 69, in an opening in the positioning device 64 and the crank arm 53 in the elevated position. When, however, the finger piece or key 48 is depressed to move the wiper or clearing 'deviii 41 to operative position, the arm 52 cotiperates with the crank arm 53 to move the positioning device 6% into coiip'erative relation with the column stops, as represented in Fig; 4c. Whenthe positioning. device is in the position shown in this figure the arms 65 and 66 coiiperate with opposite end per tions of the column, of the column stop bar to arrest the coin n stops during the movement or the carriage from left to right and to group theocolinnu steps against the positioning device cr es represented in Figs. 2 and i. in other words, a depression of the key i8 is effective to'move the wiper 41 to operative position and to simultaneously interpose the posh; tionmg device he in the path of the column hub 54:. The power of this l spr ng is exerted to normally maintain the stop on opposite sides they are brought into engagement with the I positioningdevice at or with a column stop previously arrested by said positioning dc vice so that the various colnmn stops "are grouped as indicated iii-Fig. 2,? This stop positioning device, and the manner at cons trolling it,is substantially the same as in the construction represented in my pending application hereinbefore referred to,
Thecolumn stops in the present instance are operated upon individually to move themtooperatiyefposition by a simidog rocker carries a feed capement wheels 88 which in operation are may be of the usual constructionemployed from the normal position shown in Fig. 1
operative to the operative position. At thebeing understood lar to that employed in the No. 11 Reinington machine for setting the stops in the operative position. This deviceyasshown, comprises a crank arm which has an engaging member 71 of a width sufiicient to cooperate with but one column stop at a time. The crank arm 70 is fixed to a rock shaft 7 2 supported in bracket arms 7 3 forming part of a bracket member secured to the top plate of the machine in the usual manner. A. second crank arm 74 projects rearwardly from the rock shaft 72- and is connected to the hpper end of a depending link 7 5. The lower end of this link is pivoted at 76 to a key lever 77 which is fulcrumed on the usual fulcrum bar 78 and is returned to normal position by'a spring 7 7 The key lever 77 extends forwardly to the keyboard of the machine where it is provided with a finger key 79 by which the stop setting device 70 is actuated.
From an inspection of Fig. 1 it will beobserved that the key lever 77 extends over the universal bar 80 of the escapement mechanism, the universal bar being con-' nected by links 81 to crank arms 82 secured to a rock shaft 83. A third arm 84' extends centrally from the rock shaft 83 .and is connected. by means of an upwardly extending link 85to a dog rocker 86. This dog 87 which cooperates with two relatively adjustable esmaintained relatively'fixed, the wheels being operatively connected to a feed pinion 89. The feed pinion meshes with a feed rack 90 connected to forwardly extending arms 91 which are pivoted at 92 to the carriage. The escapemcnt mechanism thus described in the No. 11 Remington machine, or of any suitable construction.
It will; be understood from the foregoing description that a depression of the stop. set key 79 at the keyboard of the machine is effective tomove the stop setting device to the-operative position indicated in Fig. 3, to effect a movement of the column stop which is in register therewith from the insame time the universal bar 80is depressed and-at the last portion of the movement of the finger key 79 the feed dog, 87 is shifted from one escapement wheel to the other, it that there is a slight drop during /this movement of thedog. from one escapement wheel to the other. It will also be understood, that after the column stop has been moved in the manner described to operative position and pressure is released on the stop set key 7 9, the stop set device will be returned to its normal position by the spring 77 and as the .membcr 9-12 is best shown in Figs. 3, from which it will be seen that said upper feed dog 87 moves back into eng gement with the normally engaged escapement wheel a letter space movement of the carriagewill be effective under the power of the spring drum 93', which is connected in the usual manner to the carriage. It will be seen, therefore, that after each column stop is moved to operative position a letter space movement of the carriage is effected to bring the 'next adjacent column stop into register with the stop setting device, as will hereinafter more clearly appear.
The column stops having been grouped in the manner indicated in Fig. 2, it is necessary to retain the group of stops in such position that one of them will register with the engaging portion of the stop setting; de vice 70 to enable the stops to be successively moved to operative position and to be thrown into engagement with the teeth 10 by which they are locked in such a position.
'These means'will now be described. A second column stop positioning device is employed,- such device comprising an arm 94, which corresponds in part to one of the denominational stop levers 27. This arm is contained within thetabulator frame and is mounted to turn on the pivot 28 by which the denomination stop lovers are pivoted in the frame. The arm 9%,however, terminates at the pivot 28, as indicated at 95. This arm is mounted adjacent to and at the left of the denominational stop lever which ries the decimal stop 30, which in the present instance may be assumed to be the left- ,hand denominational stop of the series. The arm 94:- normally bears against a screw stop 06 which is received and adapted to be adjusted in a tapped opening inthe tabtr lator frame 24.. A spring 97 surrounds the pivot 28 and 1s connected at one end, as at 98, to the arm 9.4 and at its opposite en 99 st a wall of the tabulator stop bears again.
y I p frame. 'Ihe pressure of this spring is exerted to normally naintam the arm 94 agamstthe stop 96. The. upper end of the 5, and 6,
end portion is extended forwardly like the denominational stops but is bifurcated to form two arms or fingers 100, 101, whichare offset laterally to the right from the body portion of the member 94 (see Fig.6) and are arranged respectively above and below the decimal stop 30 and in the plane thereof so that the right-hand orcontact faces of the contactface of the decimal stop. These arms and the, decimal stop move fore and aft of the machine into and out of operative position in the same'plane.
It will be noted from an inspection of Fig; '5 comprising the member 9 .1 and arms 100, 101 are-moved forward from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that indicated in Fig.5, 130
the arms 100, 101 are in the same plane as that when the positioning. device,
said arms will be located on opposite sides of the column stop bar and are adapted to engage opposite edge portions of the column stops ,to effectively engage the stops and hold them against movement While the column stop bar may he moved with the carriage independently of the column steps.
In order to control the movement of the positioning device 94 into and outrof operative position, I have provided meanswhereby the stop setting device may be operatively connected with the positioning device Wardly from to automatically control its movement. Thus the member 94 has what I term a catch block 102-riveted thereto, as indicated at 103 (see Figs. 5 and 6). *This block is provided with an upper beveled face 104 terminating at its rear end in an abrupt vertically. disposed wall or engaginggface 105. The inclined face or bevel 104 is in the same plane as the arms 100, 101 and is arranged so as to T0111] a continuation of the upper edge 106 of the arm 100. The, inclined portion of the block extends above the upper edge pf the arm 100, as represented in Fig. 5, and
' ISIQCGiVQtl in and adapted to move along a slot 107 formed in the tabulatqr stop frame 24, the slot extending fore and aft of the machine. An engaging arm 108 is pivoted at 109 to the'upper end of the stop setting device 70. The engaging arm extends rearthe member 70 over the column stop bar and above the tabulator frame 24. The rear end portion of the en- .gaging arm 108 is provided with a depending engaging member or pawl 110, the
*lower end portion of which is offset laterally to the right, as indicated in Fig. 2, and is received in the slot 107. A spring 111 is fixed at one end to the member 7 0 and exertsv a downward member 94 is in i the normal position shown in Fig. 1 the pawl 110 rests upon-the upper edge 106 of the arm 100, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. By this engagement of the pawl withthe upper edge of the arm 100, adownward swinging movement of the'engaging arm 100 around its pivot 109 by the pressure of a spring 111 is resisted. When, however, the stop set key 79 is actuated to move the member rearwardly, a corresponding movement of the arm 108 is effected. This movement continues until the pawl 110. en-
counters the bevel 104 which causes the free end of the arm to be elevated. against the pressure of the spring 111 until the pawl has passed the rear terminal portion of the bevel. When the pawl passes the rear end of the bevel the spring is effective to depress the arm 108 to move the pawl into engagement with the rear abrupt engaging face 105. of the catch block, as represented in Fig. 3. In this manner an operative connection is effected between the member 70 columnstops,
pressureat its free end "on the arm 108. When the blocl be effected for this purpose.
the position of the 00 and the positioning device 94 and as pres-.
' from the position indicated in Fig. 3 to that represented in Fig. 5 where it extends into the path of the column stops while they are in the inoperative position. It will be seen that each subsequent depression of the sto' setting key 79 is effective to move the stop setting device 70 rearwardly and to afiord a movement of the associated positioning device 94 out of cooperative relation with the whereas each return move ment of the stop setting device to normal position is effective to bring about a forward movement of the stop positioning device or member 94 into co"perative relation with the column stops. The operative connection, once established between the stop positioning device 94 and the stop setting devioe, continues indefinitely. Y Nevertheless a disconnection bet-ween the parts may be I effected at any time by merely lifting the rear end of the arm 108 against the pressure of its spring 111, a finger piece 112 carried by and extending laterally from the rear end of the stop arm 108 being provided for this purpose. When the arm 108 is lifted to the limit of its movement, determined by an overlying stop 113 which forms part of the ear 57, the pawl 110 will be disengaged from the stop positioning device 94,:ithus enabling itto return to its normal position under the power of its spring 97. It will bepbserved that the stop 113. prevents an upward movement of the arm 108 a sufficient distance to entirely withdraw the pawl 110 from the slot 107. The pawl therefore remains at all times within the slot, and the pawL in its fore and aft movement in the slot, is guided by the side wallsthereofand prevented from lateral deflection and is thus maintained in cooperative relation with the upper edge of the arm 100 or with the catch r, as the case may be. It will be observe-c from an inspect-um of Fig. 2 that the positioning devices 94 and 64 are spaced apart to receive the entire series of column stops between them. In the present instance I have shown twelve. column stops which ordinarily is as many as will be used at any one time. It should be understood, however, that if a greater number of stops are" to be used, the positioning devices 94 and 64 may be more widely separated to receive the entire series '0 column stops between them. In the modification shown in.
Fig. 9 I have provided means by which a relative adjustment of the positionmg devices toward and away from each other may It will also be ection of Fig. .2 that umn stop positioning observed from an ms device 94 is such that when the column stops are engaged thereby the left-h und stop of the series wi l be maintained in a position 1 v where it registers with the engaging portion 71 of the stop setting device.
It may be assumed that previously set column stops are to be cleared preparatory to setting them in different arrange-' ment. To accomplish this it is merely necessary to move the carriage to the limit of its movement to the left, depress the finger piece or key 48, and move the carriage to the limit of its movement to the right. The effect of this movement will be to cam the operative columnv stops forwardly on the column's'top bar to the inoperative position and to group thecolumn stops adjacent to one another against the stop positioning de vice M as re )resented in Fi 2. The column stops are thus all cleared preparatory to resetting them. The column stops may now be set in the operative position. Prearatory to such setting, however, the stop setting key 79 will. be depressed, thereby moving the connecting bar 108 rearwardly to effect an operative connection with the stop positioning device 94:. hen pressure on the stop setting key 79 is released the positioning device 94 wardly in the manner hereinbefore described, the positioning device extending into the path of the column stops which have been grouped to the right thereof. The carriage may now be moved through an actuation of the spacing key or otherwise from right to left until the carriage reaches the position where the first column stop is to be set.
During this movement of the carriage'to the left the series of column stops have been brought into engagement with, and are maintained against further movement. to the left by, the interposed positioning device 9&, the left-hand of the series of stops being in the position of the dotted line stop in Fig. 2
4 where it is maintained in register with the contact portion 71 of the stop setting device. When the carriage reaches the proper position a depression of the stop setting key will therefore effect a movement of the column 5 stop, .which is in register with the stop setting device to operative position. During the movement of the stop setting device to position the column stop a rearward movement of. the stop positioning device 94 is effected, thus carrying it out of the path of the column stop which has been projected to operative position, as indicated in Fig. 3. As soon as the clearing device has been moved out of the path of the projected 0 column stop and the key 7 9 starts to return to normal, position, a letter space movement of the carriage will be effected to carry the projectedfiolumn stop a letter space distance to the left of the positioning device 94. It follows, therefore, that on the continued will be brought for-' forward movement of the positioning device 94L it will be interposed in the path of the next succeeding column stopito arrest all of those column stops to the right of the one which has been projected to operative position. The carriage may then be stepped along until it attains a position where the nextcolumn stop is to be set and the stop setting key 7 9 is again depressed as before, thereby moving the registering column stop to operative position and withdrawing the positioning device 94; out of the path thereof. A release of the stop setting key is effective to bringabout a: letter space movement of the carriage so as to enable the projected stop to clear the positioning device 94 in order that the latter may on the return movement of the stop setting key be inter; posed. in the path of the other column stops to the right of the one which has been last projected to operative position. These operations continue until all of the column stops have been set in their operative positions.
effected by the-actuation of the stop set key,
enables the projected stops to clear the POSI- tioning device 94: and it enables the positioning device to be successively introduced into the path of the column stops tothe right of i the last onewhich has been moved to operative position, thereby retaining all of the inoperative stops against movement with v the carriage to the left at a time when it is} desired to maintain the stops against such movement with the carriage.
It will be understood that byarranging the stop positioning device 94 in the same plane as-the decimal stop, I am enabled to maintain the column stops in such position that the left-hand one of the series of column stops will register with the stop setting device 7O sothat said registering stop when projected to operative position will bev arranged to arrest the carriage bycooperation with the decimal stop at a point corresponding to the reading on the carriage scale. If, for example, the carriage scale and pointer indicate a point when the stop set device is actuated to project a columnstop to operative position, then this same column stop will co-act with the decimal'stop to arrestthe carriage at 40 40 on the carriage scale during the subsequent tabulatingoperations.
misses Thus the column stops will be set in accordwith the ruling on the sheet to position the column stops according to such ruling. After the column stops have been set the operator may lit't the handle 112, thus efleoting a disconnection between the stop setting'device and the positioning de 94, enabling the latter to return to 'norf vice mal position under the pressure of itsspring '97. The machine may then be actuated and the tabulating operations carried out in the usual manner. l
cording-to the number of column employed. It, for example,
a greater Qu n,- ber of column stops is to be used than is pro vided for by the construction represented in the preceding figures the stop positioning device 64 (Fig. 9) maybe adjusted to the right along the shaft 56 after the supporting arm 58* has first been adjusted to the right.
. In the modification shown in Fig. 9 parts which correspond to those previously described are represented by the same reference numerals as those employed in the preceding figures with the addition thereto of the exponent a It will beseen that the bracket '59 is provided with an upwardly stops to be extending car 1141 tapped to receive two heeded screws 115 which are adapted to extend through a slot 116 in a bracket armlli'. This arm 117 is formed as member 58 which supports the positioning n tothe right. It
a part of the will be understood therefore-by loosening the screws 115 the member comprising 'the supporting arm 58 and the bracket arm 117 may be adjusted to the right andthe screws tightened to secure the member in its adjusted position. The set screw 63 may then be loosened to enable a corresponding adjustment of the positioning device 64 to the right to be effected, the screw 63 being tightened to secure the positioning device in its newly adjusted position on the rock shaft 56. In this manner arelative ndjustment between the two positioning devices 94 and r 64* may be readily effected-j The extreme outward adjustment provided for by this modified form of construction enables as many as some eight additional stops to be employed, thus providing forthe use of as many estwen'ty column stops at anyone time. that the means disclosed in this modification may beso arranged as to provide for the use of any desired number of column stops.
