To alllwiiooa z't mag) concern Be 1t known that I, MABEL Aaron, a citizen'cf tlieUIlited State -residing 'a't Stockton,

inthee'ouuty of San Joaquin, Stateof California, have invented certain new and use-- ful Improvements in Attachments for Type- Writers; and I- .do declare the 'following to be 11 full, clea'r, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it 'appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accom-l panying'drawin 's,- and to-the characters of reference market thereon, which form a part of this application.

This invention relates to improvements in attachment for typewriters the objectof the invention bein to produce an attaclnnentadapted to receive and hold the stenographic notcs'fo'r other papers from which transcrip:

tion is being made by-the types-Titer, such holder being designed tofit any typewriter andbeing adjustable vertically and laterally-- to enable it to conform to difl'erent sizes of papers or note books.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will he exceedingly effective for thepurposes for which it is designed.

These objec'tsQI accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of partsas will fully appcar'hy a perusal of the following specification and claim.

.In the drawings similar characters 01; reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

Figure l is a front elevation of the complete device, partly broken out. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section taken on a line,X--X of Fig. 1. i i

. Referring now more particularly to the "characters of reference on the drawings. the

numeral 1 designates the back plate of the typewriter and my improved attachn'lcnt comprising three bars 2 each proridedwith a pair of spaced vertical fiangcsfi adapted to receive-the plates 1 between them and to secure such plates 1 in position by means of wing nuts 4 projecting through one of the flanges 3and adapted to impinge ittight-h.- against the other flange.

Cach of: the plates '2 is provided with suitable rubber or similar supporting feet 5. On each of the members 2 is a vertical rod 6. Slidable over the two outer rods 6 is a lower frame comprising a central member? and .twoouter membersB [and hold the same in fixed trame during its use.

readily seen that T.

such -mcmber' 7 being tel'esooped into thethe same is also held and adjusted in posi-' tion by means of a thumb screw 13 mounted on the threaded rod 6. Hinged tothe upper end of the frame ll.l2 is a spring pressed bar 14- having an operating handle 15 for raising and lowering, which bar is adapted toreccive the paper or book underneath it position on the The numeral 16 designates the sprineis which press agains the bar 1:4 to hold fit in position. Secured to one of the mcnihers (l near its uppcr'end an elastic ham; 1? having a plurality of holes 18 in one end adapted't'o engage a hook I!) on a collar QO mounted on the opposite-rod (3 which elastic band can be used for holding extra length papers or books in upright position on the frame. I

lhe band 17 and the collar 20 are of course capable of moving vertically on. their re-' spec-live rods 6 when the balance of the frames are adjusted thereon.

In practice the book or pa per to be copied from is mounted on the platform 9 and engagcd under the member 1 or the bandl'i and as can be readily seen as the device is attached to the rear of the typewriter it. brings the work'directl'y before the operator rendering it to be easily seen and transcribed.

From the foregoing description it will be rice as substantially fulfils the object of the invent-ion as set forth herein. j

\Vhile this specific-at ion sets lorth' in detail. the present and preferred construction of the device, still in vpracticesuch deviations from such detail maybe resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention.
