JOHN WALDHEIM, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNCR T UFION TYBEWRITER COMPANY, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION 01* NEW JERSEY.

TYPE-WRITING MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern: 4

Be it known that. I, J OHN \VALDHEIM, citizen of the United'States, and resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification. p

My invention relates especially. to tabulating mechanism for typewriting machines and its general object is to provide newand improved means for enabling columnstops to be moved from a non-operative place or position and set in an operative positionon a stop receiving member and for enabling the stop receiving member to be readily cleared of the set column stops preparatory to resetting the column stops for a new variety of work.

To the above and other ends my invention consists-in the features of construction, combinations of devices and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In carrying out my invention in the present instance I have applied it to a No. 11 Remington typewriting machine but the nature of the invention is such that it may readily be adapted to other styles of writing machines. 'l.:, 1 I

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 is a sectional .vie'wwof a. No'.

with the grooved front and rear bars of a carriage truck if which through links 8 is connected witli and. supports a shiftable platen frame oi'lcar'rier comprising end bars '9 and a cross rod 10. I Journalcd on the platen carrier is -a paper supporting element or platen 11 with the front face whereof cooperate 'printinginstrumentalities (not shown) of the usual style. Fixed to the truck 7 is an arm 12 connected by a strap 13 A with a motor or's pring drum 14 which constantly urges leftward the carriage comprising the truck and the platen frame, step by step movements of uthe carriage belng however controlled by the usual or other suit-- able escapement dex ices which are omitted from the drawings Cooperative, with the column stops to be hereinafter described are denominational, stops 15 which are at the forward upper ends f stop levers 16, thestops and the levers .16 being preferably integral. The levers 16 are fulcrumed at 17 in a frame 18 detaohably secured to the main frame of the machine, and the lower ends of said levers 16 are connected links 19 with bell cranks 20 having fixed fulc'rums 21 and being provided with restoring springs 22. Said bell cranks are operative by vertically movable key stems 23 each pro-' vided at the top with a ltabulator key or button 24. The bell cranks 20 preferably operate carriage releasing devices, not shown, but which act inthe'usual fway to free the carriage from the control of the escap'ement de-; vices and permit it to be moved rapidly leftward across the toppl lite for a'continuous or tabulating run.

A stop receiving element or stopbar 25 is provided for the column stops, said stop bar being arranged behind,;the' platen and secured at its ends by sci-ewe 26 to angular brackets 27 whioh are fastened by screws 28 to: the rear bar of the platen frame 7 (Fig. Thesttlp bar 25 is fdrmed with grooves,

notches or looking or engaging deilces oi rotary movement on said rod in order to en able the stops to engage withand be d1sen-,

The stops are adapted not only to slide along the rod 31 but also to have a limited gaged from the notches 29 in the stop bar 25, but the. stops are constantlyconnected to their support 31 whether they are in set position, that is engaged with the stop bar 25, or not. As best shown in Fig. 5, each stop 30 is provided with a notch 34 and which enables the stop to be swung down into anyof the grooves 29 and to fit over the stop bar 25. being thereby set on the stop bar. To the rear of the notch 34 each stop 30 is provided with a stopping-portion proper 35,- which when the stop 1s swung down in operative engagement with the stop function of which will be hereinafter described. Inorderto hold thestops 30 up non-operative position, a detent spring 37 1s secured tothe top of each stop 30, the free end of said'detent spring beingbent into a V for coiiperation'with a rib 38 projecting upward from'the rod 31. The V end of the ,spring 37 cooperates with the rib 38 at the "forward side thereof to hold the associate said bar.

'whole'by the numeral 39.

stop 30 in the non-operatijre position, but

when the stop is swung downward into e11- gagement with the stop bar 25, as hereinafter described, the V end will snap over the top of the rib 38 and will :oiiperate with it at the rear side thereof to maintain the stop 30 in operative position. In other words, the spring 37 is double acting and acts to hold the stop either free or set, that is, either up or down, as it may be adjusted.

In order to-assemble, bunch-or group the tabulator or column stops 30 and also to distribute or adjust them at'desired intervals along the stop bar 25, a stop controlling contrivance' is provided, the details of which are best shown in Figs. 4 to 6. Said contrivanc'or stop controller, which for }.convenience of reference is designated as a of a housing and is slida'oly mounted on a support or supporting bar 40, which bar is arranged above the rod 31 and is secured at.

its ends by screws 41 to upstanding ears or terminal portions 42 of branch portions 43 extending rearward from the brackets 27.

The under side of the bar 40 is provided with V notches 44 formed at .letterspaceintervals, an additional V notch-"'45 (Fig. 4)

' contrivance 39comprises a plate-like front portioirA-fiwhich maybe of sheetmetral bent of the plate 46 is is in the nature or curved forward and downward, as shown in- Fig. 5, and provided with hooks or lugs 47 which engage with the pointed ends of the teeth formed by and between the notches wiper which is adapted to coiiperate with' the stops 30 to wipe or cam them upward automatically out of engagement with the stop bar 25. -At its sides the lower portion provided with rearwardly bent ears or lugs 51 and 52 for codperatio'n with the portions 36 of the column stops when the latter are in non-operative positions. As clearly appears from Fig. 5 the plate 46 is arranged at the forward side of the bar 40 Screws 53 secure to said plate above the bar 40 a roof portion 54, whichmay be of cast metal, undercut as indicated at 55 to fit over the top and rear sides of the bar 40. From Fig. 5 it will be observed that the supporting'bar40 is engaged at its forward and under sides by the plate 46 and lugs 47 whilethe top and rear sides of said bar are engaged by the part54. The constructionis such that while the contrivance 39 may bereadily slid along the supporting bar, it cannot become accidentally detached from said bar or displaced. Suitably secured to the under side of the top or roof 54 is a plate or roof portion 56, having a rearward extension 57 which is notched, as indicated at 58, for. cooperation with other latching or locking devices comprising a pin 59 secured to and upstanding from a latch member 60 which ispivoted at 61 to the topof the tabulator frame 18.

When the latch is in operation, as shown in Fig. 3,. the contrivance 39 will be held in' fixed position 'on the machine. A pin 62 limits the rearward movement of the latch '60 (Fig.2). At its ends fthe roof portion 56 is provided with downwardly bentears orext'ensions 63 and 64 for cooperation with therearportionsof the/column stops when the latter are in non-operative positions. The roof portion 54 is formed with an enlargement 54* which is slotted, ans indicated at 65 (Fig.3) to provide a bearing for a stop-setting device which is in the form of a vertically reciprocatory blade 66 rounded at its lower end, as indicated at 67, and terminating at its upper end in 'a horizontally bent portion or key 68.,A stud 69 at the I ofa coiled springfiO -which is seated in a being provided near the right-hand end of The stop controlling means or depression 71 in the enlargement 54* and operates to restore or return the setting deviceto. normal position after operation. The upward erratum marementof said device is limited by a pin 72 which cooperates with the under side of the plate 56, said plate being also notched or slotted in reg- 1st er with the slot 65 to provide for the passage of the blade 66. The setting device or blade (36 is adapted when depressed to coact' with the tops of the steps 30 and swing them downward from inoperative position to operative engagement with the column stop oar The contrivance 39 is, as has been stated, slidable along the bar 40' and is held in desired positions along said bar by a detent spring 73 (Figs. at and 5), said spring being secured by a screw 7% to the under side of the plate 56 and having a V end which engages with the notches ea in the bar 10, A pointer 75 is secured by screws 76 to the front of the plate 46 and projects drf-wnward and forward in position to cooperate directly with a sheet of paper ruled ofi" .in columns as is usual.

A. ruled work sheet 77is illustrated in Fig.2 in position for coiiperation with the pointer The work sheet is held in this position, by clips 7 8 whichfit over the rear end portions of arms or brackets 7 9 secured to the platen frame rod 1 0. These arms 75 are the usualsupports forthe paper table. At their forward ends said arms, are provided with laterally extending hearing por I, .tionsf80 which are pivotally engaged by the curled ends of strips'81 suitably secured at the under side of the paper table 82 A side guide, comprising oppositely extending portions 83 and 84, is suitably secured at the leftside of the paper table 82. When the paper table is in normal position as shown in Fig. 1 the usual lnnlting pins 85 at the under side thereof engage with the clips 78,

said clips being. at the time covered by the paper table and the side guide 83 being in position to cooperate with the left edge of the paper that is'introduced over the paper table and around the platen in the usual way. Preparatory to stop setting opera.- tion, however, the paper table is swung forward and downward about the exte tisions or hearing portions 80 as centers, exposing the clips, as shownin Fig. 2, and enabling the upper edge of the ruled sheet 77 to be in trcduced under said clips, the left edge of said sheet being guided by the side guide portion 84, and said sheet resting on the forwardly swung paper table and against the surface which is normallythe under side of said table. J

Vith the ruled sheet'adjusted as shown, and assuming that it is desired toadjust or arrange on the stop bar 25 column stops in correspondence with the ruled columns on what follows. that at this time all of the coltwenty-four or twenty-five, although the number may of course vary, will be within ithe contrirance 39 and confined in inoperative position between the downward extenions or-lugs 63 and 64 at the rear, and between the lugs 51 and 52 at the front. In other words, -if the contrivan'ce is pushed bodily leftward at this time the rear portion 33 of the right-hand stop 30 will be engaged by the lug or extension 64 and the forward portion 36 of said stop will be engaged by the lug 52 so that any leftward movement of said contrivance will result in forcing the entire set of stops leftward along the "rod 31 with said contrivance. On the other fhand, a bodily right-hand movement of the (contrivance will cause the lugs 63 and 51 to gact on the group of stops to force them rightward, the trayelii'ig carriage remaining [quiescent or motionless during such bodily I? movement of the contrivance 39, leftward or rightward. It it be assumed that this ri htward movement of the contrivance 39 lFig. 6) to engage with the top-of said stop land. force it downward. on to the stop bar 125, thus locking or'setting the stop for opertation, this movement of the stop being. trans terse of the platenor paper support. The key 68 is thereupon released and the con}- trivance 39 is pushed rightward until the pointer 75 is brought to the next columnar position. This rightward movement of the contrivance will carry with it the entire set of stops 30 except the left-hand stop of the giroup, which left-handstop has been set on the stop bar 25. As'a result of such setting have been lowered out of the path of the extension 63 while the portion 36 will have been raised above the path of the extension will remain behind, locked on the bar 25 as '59 continues. The stop setting operation above outlined is repeated for each columnar position on the paper 77, and the residt will be that a plurality of column stops 30 will be held or set at any and all desired points on the stop receiving or stop holding rar position on the work sheet, while the remaining column stops will remain within the contri'vance 39., Consequently, wherpthe latter is moved to the extreme right, as shown in Fig. 2, the non-operative column stops will be carried with it and will, to-

5 umn, stops, of which as shown there are sometgether with the contrivance, be maintained ia-ttained the operator depresses the key 68, icausing the rounded end of the setter 67 g which overlies the left-hand stop of they igroup (as will be clearly understood fronr the portion 35 of said..left-hand stop will 51. The result is that the set stop is fretted: from the control of the contrivance 39 ahd continued until the pointer 75 is brought the rightwardmovement of the contrivai'ice element or stop bar 25, one for each colfumsheet 77 is withdrawn and the i scttingof thecolumn stops for a new form of tabular work the stop bar. must be cleared of the set column stops as a preliminary operation to a new setting operation. In order to clear the stop bar it is only necessary to move the contrivance 39 from the right-hand position shown in Fig. 2 to a ositicnat the extreme left. During t is movement .the contrivance will automatically disengage the column stops from the stop bar 25 and bunch or group them withvin itself, as will now beexplained. In the first place it may be said that as the contrivance is moved to the left, theextensions 64 and 52 'will cooperate with the righthand stop of the bunched column stops said stop upward, causing it to disengage from the stop bar 25 and forcing it to the and. will force leftward such of the column stops as may be bunched within the contrivance 39 at the time. lVhen the left-hand movement of the contrivance has continued far enough to bring the wiper or cam edge into engagement with the first or' right hand. one ofthe set column stops,.the wiper cam'150 acting against the bottom edge 'of the part 35 .of saidright-hand stop, wilt cam non-operative position where it will be caught by the left-hand one of the bunched stops and forced leftward along with the bunched stops as the movement of the contrivance 39 continues. The set colunln stops are forced off or unlocked from the bar 2-5 successively one by one, and grouped or bunched with the others inside 'the contrivance or controller 39 so thatwhen'the latter is brought to the extreme left-hand position it will then house within it the entire set of column stops. The tabulator or column stops 30, it will be noted. are supplied from a number which need not bein excess of the greatest number of columns for which the machine is intended.

In the use of the invention as heretofore described, 'the relative movement lengththe stops, necessary to wise of the printing line on the platen between the traveling element or carriage and provide for the appropriate setting of the stops, is caused by moving the controller 39 and the stops along thecarriage lengthwise of the printing line while the carr age I remains motionless, in.-

1 stop receiving element.

-.movement of the controller and stops, if such mode of operation is des1rable or is preferred. .In such case the operator simply slides the controller or contrivance 39 leftward to the middle of the machine and latches 'o-r secures it by swinging the pin 59 into the notch 58', as shown in Fig. 3, thus anchoring the contrivance and the plurality bunch of column stops within it to the stationary element or machine frame. The operator then moves the carriage along. until the first column on the work sheet is oro-ught opposite the pointer 75, whereupon the setting key 68 is depressed to set the first column stop in pcsition'on the stop bar. Next the carriage is moved leftward until the next columnar position is attained, whereupon the key (38 is again depressed, and so on.

TV hen the desired number of stops have been set, the contrivance 39 is unlatched and set in non-working position at the right of its supporting bar, as shown in Fig. 2. lViien the set stops are to be'unlatched and the stop bar is to be cleared, the stop controller may he slid leftward from non-working position to the middle of the machine and there latched This movement will unlock and clear the stop bar automatically of all of the stops set along its right-hand portion in the 1 path traversed by the controller. After the controller has been latched in the middle position. the carriage may be moved from left to right preparatory to a new setting operation. with the result that the left-handpor- .ion ofthe stop bar will be cleared of all of the column stops set on it.-said stops being automatically unlocked and bunched within the controller during the rightward movement of the carriage. Thus it will be seen "that the controller. is provided with a device or cam which operates automatically withut any attention on the part of the operator to clear the stop bar of the set stops, the

. stops being unlocked and bunched 'either by a sliding movement of the controller along the carriage: or. vice versa, by a movement f the carriage while the controller itself is held or locked against movement.

Various changes ma v be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
