13116 mnstops in the inoperative position. 7 Fig. 7 is aview 'correspondingjto Figs. 5 and 6, but showing certain of'the column stops locked in the inoperativepostjf tlon and'othersin theoperativeposition. Fig. 8 is a detail rear elevation of thelocle mg bar for the column stops, tliebearings for said bar beings'hown in'section. I have illustrated my invention in' the presentinstance embodied in aMona rch Inac'hine, although it should be understoocl'that the invent-ion may be embodied in various other styles of typ'ewriting madhinesf The frame of the machine comprissfa base 1, corner posts 2 and top plate Fitted oppositely grooved guide rails 4. aresecured to the top plate of the machine in the usual manner. 'The grooved facesof tli'eseguide rails receive vanti-friction balls or rollers'l5 which are likewisereeeii e'd oppositely I grooved guide rails '6 which form p'art of a guide bari 7. The bar? constitutes the fear cross bar of the carriage and from'it' project I forwardly extending end liars "18 .prmzidedwith bearings which receive a platen shaft 9 on. Which a" cylindrical rotative plate 10 is mounted'l The carriage thus supported above the top plate for movement from slde to side" of the machine. RearWardly eidend' ing arms 11 are pivoted to'the end bars 8of the carriage and are connectecl at' their rear ends to a feed rack 12 which meshes withi a feed pinion 13. This feed pinion is secured to the front end of the shaft 14: irvhichds mounted to turn in a haifing in a bracket 15 secured to the top plate of the: machine. The rear end. of the shaft is connected to an escapement wheel 16 by the usual pawli'and ratchet connection containedgwithin a drum 17. The carriage r', 'e cei* a step by -step feed movement underfcontrol 0f h SQ P merit mechanism byiltihe' "till v the carria et e "usua gs i b y "en tnat the for a pivot rod 20 received in openings in the bracket arms, as shown in Fig. 4, and secured in position by nuts 21'arranged outside of the bracket arms and engaging threaded end portionson the rod. This rod is preferably cylindrical in form and is pro-' vided with cylindrical or circumferential teeth 22, .with cylindrical bearings 23 formed on the rod in the spaces between said teeth. There are preferably as many of these interdental spaces as there are teeth on the feed rack 12 so as to provide a space for each letter space position of the carriage, although the number of such spaces may be varied. Column stops, each designated as a whole by the reference numeral 24, are slotted at 26 as shown'in Fig. 6, to provide an openmouthed bearing portion in each plate-like column stop for the reception of and cooperation with a bearing 23 of the pivot rod. As will be seen upon, reference to Fig. 5, the throat of each slot in slightly contracted, or is of less width than the bottom or bearing portion of the slot, in order to prevent accidental displacement of the column stops from the pivot rod when they are once seated or sprung in position thereon. There is sufficient resiliency in the metal from which the column stops are made to enable each column stop to be sprung into position on the pivot rod by slightly Wedging or spreading the arms on opposite sides of the slot 25 apart as a column stop is forced into position onthe pivot rod. The column stops, however, do not bint or engage the pivot rod with undue pressure when in place, so that the column stops may be turned on the pivot, but there is, nevertheless, preferably sufficient friction provided between the parts to enable the stops to be retained in definitely in either of the two positions to which they may be turned on the pivot rod; that is to say, either in the operative position shown in Fig. 5 or in the inoperative position shown in Fig. 6. The circumferential teeth 22 on the pivot rod maintain the column stops properly spaced apart at letter space intervals and prevent the column stops from moving longitudinally along the rod. The blade 27of each stop terminates in a contact portion 28 with which the key controlled tabulator stop or stops cooper te.
A fixed toothed locking bar 29 is arranged parallel to the pivot bar 20 and in the rear thereof. This locking bar extends between and is fixed to the bracket arms 19 and has its teeth 30 upwardly directed. There are as many interdental spaces in the bar 29 as there are column stops, and these spaces are arranged to register with the column stops so that when any coliimn stop is moved from the position shown in Fig. 6 to that represented in Fig. 5, the blade of the stop will be moved into an inter-dental space in the locking bar 29 and be seated therein to time to operative position.
and are thrown into such engagement by the movement of the column stops to operative position. By this arrangement a firm and substantial support is provided for each column stop when it is in the operative posi-' tion, or in a position to be engaged by the tabulator stop or stops which cooperate therewith.
A depending arm 31 projects from each' of the column stops at substantially right' angles to the length thereof. The (terminal portion of this arm .is curved or rounded at.
32 for cooperation with a device by'which the column stops may be moved one at a Thus, an upwardly extending arm or finger 33 is arranged beneath the column stops and is fixed on the inner end'of a rock shaft 34. This shaft is mounted ,to turn in hearings in brackets 35 secured to the top plate of the machine by screws 36. The rock. shaft 34, as will be seen in Fig. 3, extends from I a point near the center of the machine to the right-hand side thereof'where it is provided with a forwardly extending crank arm 37 connected at its forward 'end toa depending link 38.. The lower end of this link 38 is connected to a key-lever 39 fulcrumed at 40 and provided at its forward end with a finger key 41, at the keyboard of the machine. A restoring spring 42 cooperates with the key lever to return the key lever and the parts connected therewith to normal position. From an inspection of Fig. 3 it will be understood that the contact portion 33 of the arm 33 is arranged above the escapemeiit wheel. shaft 14 and in a vertical plane which extends fore and aft of the machine and cuts, or substantially cuts, the printing point. The depression-of the key 41 is etfec tive to rock the shaft 34 and effect a forward movement of the arm 33, thereby engaging Fig. 5, the engaged column stop will be turned on its pivot rod from the normal position shown in Fig. 6 to that illustrated in Fig. 5 and into engagement with the locking bar 29. The column stop is thus moved from the inoperative position to'the operative position and; the particular column stop which is thus moved depends on the position of the carriage in its line of travel. If, for instance, the carriage be at the point indicated'at 4O on the carriage scale, and the key 41 be depressed at this thereof until arrested by the cooperation of the projected denominational stop with the first of the column stops.
In setting the column stops a work sheet may be introduced into the machine. The character of this work sheet is usually such as. to indicate where the columns are to appear. Thus, for instance, the work sheet may-be divided byfvertical lines to produce several columns which may be provided with pivoted headings above each column; The column stops having all been cleared, the carriage may then be moved to a position where, say, the decimal point is to appear in the first column which it may be assumed is at 40 on the carriage scale. The key 41 is then depressed and the column stop which has been brought into register with the contact portion of the arm 33 will be and the said key controlled member being ;moved to operative, position.
Thereafter the carriage will always be arrested in the first column at 40, when the decimal key is depressed. -The stops for the remaining columns may be set in a like manner.
Certain of these devices may be used without others, and various other changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
What I claim as new and by Letters Patent, "is
