The principal object of the invention,

mechanism of the character specified.

One object of the invention is to provide a compact and comparatively 'simple tally strip mechanism enabling the tally strip and posed relationship and which may be readily applied `to existing styles of typewriting machines. A. e

Another object is to provide improved comprising devices which are automatically moved into' and out of operative relationship with the tally strip when the tally strip is brought respectively into and out of the printing field of the types during to and fro When endwise movements of the platen. the tally strip feeding devices are'inopera-A tive position, a line` spacing movement c omwilll not only advance the mai-n work sheet the tally strip simultaneously therewith.

Tothe above and other ends my invention consists in the features of constructionfombinations of devices and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

f Fig. i 4 is a transverse vertical sectional view of .an bars 7 and 8.. A platen aXleJor spindle 9' is a pressed arms 15, and a secondary feed roller y 16 mounted on pivoted springypressed arms 17. The feed rollers coperate with the lplatento the left of a narrow Work-sheetl or ta-lly" strip hereinafter described," through openings in a curved deflector or apron (not shown) which-,extends around the lower side il' pf the platen and upward in rear of the same,'..

fterminating belowl the lower end of a paper 1table.l9.-, The. feed rollers V14- andf'l arekadapted to'be released by devices comprising 'a rockfshaft 2O provided with lugs 21- which,

when themock shaft `is turned, cooperate with projections 22 on the arms 15, throwing said arms downward'and releasing the main feed'roller 14, the lower.. ends of the arms 15 in turn acting to swing the arms 17 downward to release the secondary feed roller 16. The means for turning or rocking the shaft 20 for releasing purposes are best shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 5 and comprise a crank arm 23 fixed to the left-hand end of the rock shaft and pivotally connected with a member or arm 24 terminating in a finger piece 25. Said arm 24 is pivotally connected with an arm 26 pivoted at 27 to the end bar 7. The arms 24 and 26 constitute toggle arms which normally are in the relationship shown in Fig. 4 but when the linger piece 25 is pulled forward to the Fig. 5 position the toggle elements are straightened as shown in the latter ligure, with the result that 'the rock shaft 2O is turned to release the feed rollers 14 and 16 and is locked so as to maintain said feed rollers in released or inoperative position.

The parts thus far described are common to the Monarch typewriting machine.

The right-hand platen head is sunk flush with the end of the platen in the present instance and is provided with an elongated hub 28 which abuts against a boss 8a on the end bar 8 and is suitably secured to the platen axle 9. The end bars 7 and 8 of the platen carrier support a rod or bar 29 which extends lengthwise of the. platen above the same and is or may be the usual paper finger rod. This rod 29 assists to support a tally strip frame comprising a side plate 30 having a hub or boss 31 which surrounds the rod 29 and is secured thereto by a pin 32 or otherwise. The lower portion of the plate 30 is provided with a hole which receives the hub 28, so that the plate 30 is contiguous to the right-hand end of the platen. The rear edge of the plate 30 may rest against the paper table 19. The tally strip frame further comprises a side plate 33 which is spaced leftward from the plate 30 and is secured thereto by cross rods 34 and 35. rl`he rear edge of the plate 33 terminates above the platen and slightly forward of its axial center, as indicated by the curved dotted line in Fig. 2. It will be understood that the 'tally strip supporting frame comprising the side plates 30 and 33 and the connecting rods 34 and 35 constitutes in effect a single member which is secured to the platen carrier near the righthand end of the platen, so that the tally strip 36 carried by said tally strip frame may be fed around the right-hand end of the platen. Said tally strip is wound around a core piece 37 which is arranged en a carrier or holder secured to the upper rearwardly cuvedv end of the side plate 30 by a screw 38. Said holder as shown in Fig. 6 comprises a tube 39 having plugs 40 Loaaoaa and 41 secured in its ends. rlhe screw 33 passes through the side plate 30 and engages in the plug 41, thus securing the holder to the plate 30. The core 37 and the tally strip rolled thereon are adapted to lurn freely on the tube 39. A flange or circular plate 42 is clamped against the outer face of the holder by a thumb screw 43 which engages in the plug 40, said flange preventing accidental displacement of the tally roll. The loose end of the tally strip 36 is drawn forward from the under side of the roll as shown in Fig. 2 and as appears from said ligure and also from Fig. 3 is led down over the paper table 19 to the left of the plate 30, passing between said paper table 19 and a guide plate 44 suitably secured to the inner face of the plate 30, which latter may be used as a side guide both for the tally strip and main work sheet. Said guide plate 44 is arranged between the -platen and the paper table 19 and a paper apron 45, said plate curving around the rear and under sides of the platen and terminating at the front side of the platen just above'the paper apron 45, the usual scale plate 46 being cut away as indicated at 46a t Fig. 1) to accommodate the guide plate and the paper apron. The paper apron 45 is not spring-pressed but is hung or suspended loosely from the rock shaft 2O by hooks or clips 45, the forward end of said apron resting normally on the bottom edge of the cut-out 46a. The apron 45 is preferably a section separate from thesbody of the usual paper apron which extends lengthwise of the platen and is spring-pressed toward the same. The guide plate 44 cooperates with the paper table and paper apron to provide a slot, passage way or channel 47 partly'closed at the right-hand side, through which channel the tally strip passes and by which it is guided around the platen and upward at the forward side thereof, the guide plate 44 being interposed between the tally strip and the platen and holding the tally strip away from the platen until the tally strip approaches the vicinity of the printing point at the front side of the platen. The inner face of the tally strip 36 is preferably carbonized and the guide er curved deflector 44 is provided for the purpose of preventing the carbonized surface from off-setting on the bill sheet which overlies the tally strip but is separated therefrom by the guide 44, said bill sheet which is indicated in Fig. 3 by the number 48, passing between the platen and said guide. Furthermore in many kinds of commercial typewriting the bill sheet is required to be frequently inserted and removed during the writing, and the guide 4-4 bot-h protects the sheet and prevents it from being injured and from being interfered with by the tally strip during insertion and rewas; .e

maval. It will be 'understood that the passage way or channel 47 is clear and unobstructed so that the tally strip may be advanced freely through it.

Above the printing line a guide is provided over which the tally strip is led, the main work sheet passing under the guide. Said guide comprises a plate 49 which curves from a point above the printing line rearward over the platen Jfor a short distance and then inclines upward and rearward, its upper portion being suitably secured to a cross bar 50 the ends of which are fastened by headed screws 51 to the plates 30 and 33. The guide or detlector 49 preferably is under tension in order properly to hold its shape and position; and accordingly the right-hand edge of said detiector just clears the inner face of the plate 30 while the lefthand end portion bears against the lower curved edge of the plate 33. After crossing the printing line the tally strip passes over the detlector 49 upward and rearward to a holder on which it is wound. Said holder is shown in detail in Fig. 7 and comprises a tubular body portion 52 provided with heads 53 which bar on a shaft 54, the ends of which are reduced as indicated at 55 and 56, the end 55 bearing in a hole in the plate 33 and the end 56 bearing in the plate 30. A coiled spring 57 surrounds the shatt 54 within the tube 52, one end of said spring being fixed to the shaft and the other end to the left-hand head 53. The tendency of the spring is to turn the receiving holder so as to wind the tally strip, thereon, the in;

i ner end of the tally strip'being secured in a slot 58 in the tube 52 or any other suitable manner. The reduced end 56 has sccured to it by a pin 59 a crank arm 60 provided with a finger piece or handle 61. Con-A fined between the crank arm and the outer face of the plate 30 is a ratchet wheel 62, said ratchetl wheel being prevented from turning on the reduced end 56 by a pin 63 which projects radially from the shaft and engages a slot G4 in the ratchet wheel. As shown in Fig. 2 a pivoted gravity pawl 65 normally engages the ratchet wheel and prevents it from turning backward under the action ofthe spring 57 to weaken the latter. By turning the handle 61 in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2 the tension of the spring 57 may be increased. The spring 57 is regulated so that it has sufficient tension to take up the slack in the tally strip between the. receivino roll and the platen and so that as the tally strip is advanced or line spaced it will be correspondingly wound on the receiving roll. In order to accom# plish this result it may be necessary from time to time to rewind the spring by means of the handle 61. At suitable intervals the tally strip may be severed against the upper edge of the deector 49 which may be Sharps ened for the purpose. Then the written portion of the tally str-ip which is in roll ferm on the receiving roll may be unwound and removed fromthe receiving holder and the loose newly severed end of the tally strip secured in the slot 58 in said holder for a new series of operations.

Means are-provided for coperating with the platen to advance or line Space the tally strip when the platen is turned, which means are automatically moved into and out of operative relationship witljl-the platen. Said means in the present instance includes a short feed or pressure roll comprising as shown in Fig. 8 a metal bearing portion 66', a wooden core 67 and a rubber vsheath 68. The tally strip pressure roll is arranged to turn freely on a rod 69, being heldv from movement lengthwise of said rod by 'collars 70 pinned thereto. The rod 6,9 comprises part of a rocking frame which includes parallel arms 71, the lower ends whereof are connected by .and support the rod 69. The upper ends of the arms 71 carry a cross rod 72 to which is secured a clamping member 73 of rubber or the like. The rocking frame comprising the arms 71 and the parallel' connecting rods G9 and 72 is suitably secured ou the reduced end portions 74 and 75 of a rock shaft 7 6. The end 74 of said rock shaft bears in a hub or socket piece 77 secured to the side plate 33 while the end 75 bears in an opening in the side plate 30. The tally strip pressure roll is adapted to coperate with the tally strip and the platen through a cut-out or slot 49a formed 1n the lower end of the deflector 49. The clamping element 73 coperates with the upper. portion of said detlector plate. A spring 78 coiled around the cross rod 35 coperates vwith the arm 7 2 of the rocking frame, tending constantly to maintain the frame in the position shown in Fig. 2 with the clamp 73 operative and the pressure roll 66-68 released or inoperative. By rocking the shaft 76 the frame secured thereto is rocked and as a result the clamping element-7 3 and the tally strip pressure roll are adapted to be swung into and out of operative position. alternately.

Automatic means are provided for rocking theyshaft 76, said meansv in the present instance being controlled by to and fro movements of the' platen carrier and comprising a crank arm 79 pinned at 80 to the reduced end outside the plate 30 and pro.- jecting rearward as shown in Figs. '2 and 3. This crank arm is adapted to coperate with the forwardly extending arm of a lever 81 fulcrumed at 82 on the plate. 30. The lower arm of v'the lever 81 extends downward outside said plate and is formed with a guide slot 83 which cooperates with a headed screw 84 fixed to the platev 30 to guide the lever 81 during swinging movements and prevent.distortion thereof. Fiv

l roller 86 and operates when the roller engages it during leftward movements of the platen to force the roller forward, thereby1 swinging the lever 81 on its fulcrum, lifting the forward army thereof and causing.

the end 81a of said arm which is rounded and underlies the crank arm 79 to swing said crank arm upward, thereby rocking the shaft against the spring 78 fromthe Fig. 2 to the Fig. 3 position. This rocking operation throws off the clamping element 73 and throws on the pressure roll (i6-68. As has been stated the deflector 49 is yieldingly mounted so that in the Fig. 2 osition when the tally strip pressure roll 1s inoperative said defiector is raised from the platen surface, aordingaclear passage 89 for the bill sheet between the platen and the defiector; but when the tally strip pressure roll is swung down into operation as inFig. 3 it engages the surface of the tally strip and through it forces the deliectcr close to the platen surface, thus lessening the liability of tearing or shearing the tally strip between the pressure roll and the side edges of the slot 49a in the deflector. lt will be understood that after the pressure roll 66-68 has been brought to the operative or Fig. 3 position, then if the platen be turned for line spacing said pressure roll will cooperate with the platen to line space the tally strip. When, however, the pressure roll is inoperative as in Fig. 2 and the clamp 73 is operative, the tally strip will be clamped or held from being advanced during turning movements of the-platen. The cam bar 87, 87a is so arranged that the-roller 86 will not engage it so long as that portion of the bill sheet which is to the left of the tally strip is in the printing field of the types; but just prior to the entrance of the tally strip into the printing field of the types the roller 86 will engage the cam 87, operating the train of mechanism connected to said roller, so that when the tally strip enters the printing field the pressure roll will be in operative position and the clamp will be released or thrown off. During return movements, as soon as the tally strip passes rightward out of the printing eld, the roller 86 will separate from the cam bar, permitting the'spring 78 to restore the parts to the Fig. l position.

In addition to the paper feeding devices hereinbefore described for the main work noaaeaa sheet including the feed rollers 14C and 16, l provide additional devices for cooperating with the main work sheet above the printing line on the front of the platen, said additional devices comprising a pressure roller 90 which is pivotally supported on a bifurcated carrier 91 fixed to a rock shaft 92 arranged above the platen and extending -lengthwise thereof. The left-hand end of said rock shaft bears in an arm 93 fixed to and extending forward from the rod 29, while the right-hand end of said rock shaft, as appears clearly in Fig. 8, bears in the socket piece 71. Fixed to the left-hand end of the rock shaft 92 outside the carrying arm 93 is a crank arm 94 which projects downward and is pivotally connected at 95 with a link 96 curving upward and rearward and pivotally connected at 97 with a crank arm 98 fixed to and extending upward from the rock shaft 20. The crank arms 98 and 94C and the connecting link 96 provide a connection between the rock shaft 2O and the rock shaft 92 such that when the finger piece 25 is pulled forward to release the feed rollers at the under side of the platen it will also operate to rock the shaft 92 and swing the pressure roll 90 up from the Fig. t to the Fig. 5 position, thereby entirely freeing the main work sheet from its feeding devices both above and below the printing line.

It will be understood that the mainwork sheet or sheets may be inserted in and re moved from the machine at pleasure without interfering with the tally strip which is superposed on'the right-hand edge portion of the main work sheet when the latter is in position to receive the type impressions: also it will be plain that the main work sheet may be fed or advanced from line to line without interfering with the tally strip or disturbing the latter, so long as the tally strip is not within the printing field. When the tally strip is brought within the printing field and the types are operated the im pressions through the usual ribbon will be made on the tally strip and transmitted from the carboned back of said strip on to the main work sheet so that the type impressions will be written in'dupiicate on the tally strip and the main work sheet. These' impressions as is well understood are usually totals relative to items which are specified onr the left of the main work sheet outside of the field of the tally strip. zlihus the tally strip affords a check on' the biils. By employing my invention it will be clear that the items on the tally strip will be in condensed form for the reason that the feeding of the tally strip is automatically effected when the biil sheet is line spaced after the totals have been printed in duplicate on the tally strip and bill. sheet, but at 'other times when the hill sheet is being written on at the left ofthe tally striptield, line spacing operations of the bill sheet will not affect the tally strip, which latter will re main quiescent. In other words, the tally strip is advanced or line spaced only after.

it has been itself written on; and line space ing movements of the main sheet at other times do not affect the tallystrip. It will be observed that b my present invention I provide the com ination with a platen, of a paper feeding device-movable relatively to the platen to feed paper, and means for automatically moving said device into operative position; that the automatic means operates during bodily endwise movements of the platen but independently of rotary movements of the platen; that after said device has been moved' into operative position it will coperate` with the platen during rotary movements thereof to feedv the paper, the paper in the present instance being a tally strip; i that the feeding movement of the device .is a movement relative to the rotary movement of the platen; that said device is also moved out of cooperative relationship with the platen during endwise movements of the platen; that the movement of the device into and out of operative position takes place at predetermined points in the carriage travel or platen travel in opposite directions; that said device in the present instance is a feed or pressurev roller which is mounted on a swinging frame, said swinging frame also carrying a clamping element which coperates with a part, in the present instance a paper guide, separate from and independent of the platen; that the feeding device or roller for the tally strip and the clamp therefor are thrown into and out of operative position in alternation; that the said devices are mounted on a swinging frame supported on the tally strip supporting bracket, said swinging frame being pressed in one direction by a spring and being adapted to be swung in opposition to said spring by devices comprising a cam bar on the machine frame and connections between said cam bar and said swingin frame comprising a lever fulcrumed on t e tally strip supporting bracket, said lever carrying a roller that may engage with the cam and also coperating with a crank arm rigid with said swinging frame; and that the platen is combined with linespacing devices and a feeding device (in the present instance a tally strip feed roller) whichl is mounted independently of the platen and coperates therewith to feed paper when the platen is turned by the line spacing devices, said device being rendered effective and ineffective to feed the paper by automatic means, said automatic means in the present instance comprising the cam bar on the l.
