Definitions

  • This inventirn relates primarily to typewritingr machines constructed to write in languages such as Korean. (hinese. .lapanese. ete.. in which independently printed charactersare grouped side by side and one above another. tor the purpose ot making units or logogran'is.
  • Korean lint ⁇ oi' writing extends trom top t0 bottom of the page; and it is one ot the objef'ts ot' the present invention to write such language without the, necessity of a complicated mechanism. and particularly to adapt a machine ot ordinary construction to write such language.
  • the work-sheet is placed in a typewritinpr machine side first. with its top edge at the let't, and its bottom edge at the right.. 'i'he eliaraeters are placed cumbent or crosswise upon the type-bars with the tops ot' the characters at the lett, so that the impress-hns made thereby upon the worksheet are in cumbent positions.
  • the paper marriage may be eaused to have stepby-step or letterl'eediirLy nwvements from right to lrf' and when a line ol" writing is eonr pulir/l.
  • the sheety may be removed, and may laL :ni-ned ai wel and read from top to botttm in the manner customanv with the Korean nation, White the paper is in the machine. it may be line-spaeed by advancing the platen in the manner usnal in writingf English on typewriting machines. and hence several lines may be written ou the sheet. all ot which will appear in proper sequence from right to left. when the worlesheet is removed and turned around so as to read the writing from top to bottom.
  • the several types by which said logo- ;ram may be printed in eumbent position. would he so disposed that they would take up twiee the ordinary lateral room in the type basket; sinee eaeh character would need to be so placed on the.' type bar, that it would strike the. platen in the proper relationship to other characters; that is, at one side thereof.
  • Some of the types would have to he double or even quadruple width, which would be iz'npractieable, or else the sizes o all the characters would have to be redneed to an extent to be prohibitive.
  • Anothei ditiieulty that presents itself is the apparent neeessity tor making wry many dulilieate characters. since in some cases a eonsonant or section must be printed in three. or perhaps more, diti'erent positions upon the work-sheet. in combination with other characters. thus making it necessary to provide three or more typebars for eaeh of such eliararters. in overcoming these ditiieulties. i have arranged to make the principal consonants, syllables.
  • Every character in each groupingT may have ample room, and may be of substantial dimensions, without the necessity of having extra wide tvpes for this purpose. None of the types need to be of excessive width, and hence there is ample room in the ty] basket. for them all. Moreover. the nece ty ot having the same c iaracter in ditierent positions upon different type-bars is largely avoided.
  • the operator needs only to remember to operate the carriage-spacing key after each vowel is written, whether the vowel be single or double.
  • the carriage is not caused to feed by the operation of the character type keys, but the carriage feeding. mechanism is always silent, and it will feed only when a space-key is operated. In using my machine, therefore, the operator will touch two or three keys forming theI first syllable or part of .t group, the last of these keys being a vowel; and will immediately touch a space key and thus space the carriage, and will proceed to complete the group.
  • Another feature of the invention relates to equipping the same nnichine' writing in another language. at will. as for instance, English or French.
  • Figure 1 shows the Korean consonants and vowels by means of which the written logograms.units, or groupings of the Korean language are i the vowels bring geni rally placed or at one side the cniisonants, as illustrated at Fie. 2.
  • Fi l also shfrws some in lwriting' Korean.
  • Fig. shows a work-s 11,-et on which are written some Korean logogranis; each line of writin reading from top to bottom, and the lines beirg pla ccd one at the side of another.
  • Fig. Ii is a sectional side elevation, taken about reutrally from front to rear of a tyl'iewritmg machine of the Underwood style and constructed in accordance with the present iniprovements.
  • Fig. -t is a plan of the lfeyboard.
  • Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic plan of the types, nearly as they appear in the type basket.
  • FIG. 7 is a front view of the letter-feeding or escapement dog rocker, showing t v ⁇ :itions of the parts when Englis being written on the typewriter.
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective rear view of the parts seen at Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 9 is a front View similar to Fig. T, but showing the normal positions of the parts for writing Korean.
  • Fig. 10 is a sectional side elevation to illustrate the movement of the universal bar when the letter-feeding mechanism vis silenced by reason of the operation of one of the special all-Korean keys when the case-shift mechanism has been shifted to upper-case or abnormal position.
  • Fig. 11 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the mechanism positioned to write English words.
  • the Korean types 10 are connected to figure keys 11, to strike a platen 12.
  • the machine illustrated in the drawings resembles the well-known Underwood front-strike writing machine, the tyi'ies being mounted upon bars 13 which are pivotcd upon a. curved fulcrum wire 14 to strike rearwardly through a ribbon against the front side of said platen 12.
  • the ribbon. being mounted upon the usual vibrator 15, which at every key stroke lifts the ribbon to cover the printing point and then drops it to uncover the printing plant.
  • the Korean type characters 10 are placed rrosswise on the type bars 13, so that the type impressions upon the work-sheet 21 will appear cumbent. Said work-sheet having been inserted sidewise into the machine ⁇ as will be explained, the impressions will therefore appear in proper position one under another* when the sheet is taken out and The type-bars are turned around so as to bring' its top into propel' position to be viewed by the reader.
  • Fig. 5 showsa diagrammatic plan or projection of the types as they appear in the type basket, the types being in the form of raised reverse characters. as shown. 'l ⁇ he impressions made by the types are seen at Fig. 1, in which figure the consonants are shown rseparately from the vowels and from the special or arbitrary characters.
  • Fig. 2 are seen two lines of writing upon the work sheet 21, the right-hand edge of which, it will he understood, is introduced first into the typewriting machine, the letters haria written from top to bottom of the sheet, but appearing while in the machine to be written from left to right.
  • consonants usually occupy the entire width of their types, and hence occupy approxin'iately an entire subdivision of the. printing space on the work-sheet.
  • lt will be ntiticed at Fig. l that some of the consonants are duplicated; certain of them being deiressed, to permit the writing of horizontal vowel marks thereover. These vowel marks are properly located on their type blocks for this purpose. as seen at Fig.
  • the vertical vowel marks may be written at the right of the several consonants seen at Fig. 1.
  • the operator proceeds to write the succeeding consonant and its accompanying vowel, to make another syllable. 1f it is the end of a word, the operator may depress the space-key 23 twice, .so as to produce the space between words. 1f, however. the word is yet inconiplete. the operator presses the key 'ifi only once, and then proceeds to write. another consonant with its accompanying vowel or vowels. to forni the remainder of the logogram or grouping ⁇ .several examples of which are seen at Fig.
  • the types are made of a suitable size for writing nine characters to the inch, while the carriage is arranged to travel onceighth of an inch at cach movement: whereby the desired clearance between the sulrgroupings is secured.
  • rlhe ribbon carrier lo as usual in the l'nderwootl machine, is caused to rise at the t'vpc strokes to cover the printing point with the ribbon.
  • 'l ⁇ he type-bars have heels 35 which press rearwardly a universal bar ill?. which is formed on the forward end of a frame 37.
  • Rising from said universal har is a plate 38, having a slot Clt), in which is confined a pin 4l) on a lever 4l, which is connected at l2 to the lower end of the ribbon carrier 15: said lever being pivoted at 43 upon a bracket 44.
  • This universal bar frame 33T. il will be remembered. does not perform its usual function of operating the feed dogs 2T and 28 when Korean characters are hobos printed, but operates only to raise and lower the ink ribbon; the usual spring l5 being provided for returning the universal bar frame forwardly to normal position.
  • the Roman characters are shown placed at the extreme tips of the type-bars, and the ase-shift mechanism usual in the Underwtod machine is brought into requisition to enable the Roman characters to be written.
  • Fither of two shift keys 47, 48 may be used for this purpose; preferably the key 4S. because it is provided with a latch 49 (Fig. 11) t0 catch over a pin 50 on the shift key lever 51. to hold the same dcwn and leave both hands of the operator free for manipulating the type keys: the latch being releasable by a handle Cach of the shift levers 51, 53 has at its rear end ⁇ an upstanding arm.

  • a shiftable device which, when the parts are in the shifted Fig, 11 position, causes the universal bar frame 37 to operA ate the carriage-feeding dogs 27, 28.
  • Said shiftable device is in the nature of an interponent (Figs. 7 to 10), which is de pressed or silenced at Fig. Si while Korean is being written, but which is shifted by either shift key 47 or 48 up to effective positi( n (Figs. 7 and 11).
  • Fig. 11 it will be seen that'said interponent is engageable by the rear edge of the universal frame 37 to transmit the movement of the latter' to the dog rocker, so that the dogs are caused to reciprocate at every type-key stroke.
  • This interponent is fixed upon a slide (i6 which can be shifted up and down on the frcnt side of the dog rocker Q9; said slide having a slot 67 by which it is guided on suitable brackets G8 fixed on the dog 'rocker.
  • a spring (39 tends constantly to lift the interponent to the effective pcsition at Figs. 7 and 11; and an arm 70, which projects rearwardly from a rock shaft 71.
  • the arm 44 which carries the ribben-vibrating lever 41.y is fixed to said shift rail (il to shift up and down therewith; the bcdily shifting movement of the lever' 41 being permittcd by the length of the slot 39 in which the pin 40 works.
  • the ribbon vi brates to cover and uncover the printing point when the llnglish alphabet is being used ⁇ r as well as when the Korean characters are being used.
  • Special Korean character keys 78. 7.() and S0 fail to feed the carriage. not only when the platen 12 is down as at Fig 3, but also when it is elevated as at Fig. 11; because the upper-:ase as well as the lowercase characters on these keys are Kor am, and it is therefore desired that the carriage should not feed at all when either upper or lower case characters are being written thereby.

TYPEWRITING MACHINE.
Application filed April 12, 1913.
lie it known that I. J lfimxn Amann. a citizen ol the United States. residingy in Brooklyn. in the county ot' kings and State otl New York. have invented eertain new and useful Improvements in 'I`ype\Vriting i\fiarhines. ot whieh the following a speeiiication.
This inventirn relates primarily to typewritingr machines constructed to write in languages such as Korean. (hinese. .lapanese. ete.. in which independently printed charactersare grouped side by side and one above another. tor the purpose ot making units or logogran'is.
'l`he machine shown in the drawings is constructed to write Korean language; but eertain i'eaturcs et the invention can be used in writing other agglutinate languages. Korean lint` oi' writing extends trom top t0 bottom of the page; and it is one ot the objef'ts ot' the present invention to write such language without the, necessity of a complicated mechanism. and particularly to adapt a machine ot ordinary construction to write such language.
ln writingv Korean aceordiingr to the present invention. the work-sheet is placed in a typewritinpr machine side first. with its top edge at the let't, and its bottom edge at the right.. 'i'he eliaraeters are placed cumbent or crosswise upon the type-bars with the tops ot' the characters at the lett, so that the impress-hns made thereby upon the worksheet are in cumbent positions. The paper marriage may be eaused to have stepby-step or letterl'eediirLy nwvements from right to lrf' and when a line ol" writing is eonr pulir/l. the sheety may be removed, and may laL :ni-ned ai wel and read from top to botttm in the manner customanv with the Korean nation, White the paper is in the machine. it may be line-spaeed by advancing the platen in the manner usnal in writingf English on typewriting machines. and hence several lines may be written ou the sheet. all ot which will appear in proper sequence from right to left. when the worlesheet is removed and turned around so as to read the writing from top to bottom.
l also aim to overcome the ditr'ieulty en countered in constructingr a machine to carry out the above method of operation. whirh is oeeasioned hv the necessity of Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 760,617.
grouping;r seve al Korean or other agglutinate characters or syllables or sections together; the ditiieulty oeeurring because of the necessity of having the types placed sidewise on the bars. and yet ,occupying but little room in the type basket.
In writing Korean down a page, characters are grouped one under another. as many as four characters. syllables or seetions sometimes being placed one under another in a single complete grouping?r or iogograin. Now when the workfsheet is turned quartenway around. so as to write the line in the manner above specified. it follows that owing to the nece ity of providing seetional or 'syllabie types that will print in the required different positions in the several groups, the types must be of undue width, that is. ot a width inconsistent with the necessary close arrangement of the types in the type basket. Sometimes the several syllabi(l characters or sections when grouped together on a printed sheet. form a single grouping or logogram which may be twice as high as it is wide. Hence in the type basket. the several types by which said logo- ;ram may be printed in eumbent position. would he so disposed that they would take up twiee the ordinary lateral room in the type basket; sinee eaeh character would need to be so placed on the.' type bar, that it would strike the. platen in the proper relationship to other characters; that is, at one side thereof. Some of the types would have to he double or even quadruple width, which would be iz'npractieable, or else the sizes o all the characters would have to be redneed to an extent to be prohibitive. Anothei ditiieulty that presents itself is the apparent neeessity tor making wry many dulilieate characters. since in some cases a eonsonant or section must be printed in three. or perhaps more, diti'erent positions upon the work-sheet. in combination with other characters. thus making it necessary to provide three or more typebars for eaeh of such eliararters. in overcoming these ditiieulties. i have arranged to make the principal consonants, syllables. sections or characters of a size nearly equal to the letter-feeding movement of the carriage; and in writing each Korean complete grouping or legogram, I first print the Character or chary acters forming the first part or section ot the logiigram, then space the carriage. and then print the character or characters forming the second part of the same logogram or grouping. Thus every character in each groupingT may have ample room, and may be of substantial dimensions, without the necessity of having extra wide tvpes for this purpose. None of the types need to be of excessive width, and hence there is ample room in the ty] basket. for them all. Moreover. the nece ty ot having the same c iaracter in ditierent positions upon different type-bars is largely avoided.
In order to avoid errors through unintentional superposition of consonants upon consonants, or other objectionable results, the operator needs only to remember to operate the carriage-spacing key after each vowel is written, whether the vowel be single or double. The carriage is not caused to feed by the operation of the character type keys, but the carriage feeding. mechanism is always silent, and it will feed only when a space-key is operated. In using my machine, therefore, the operator will touch two or three keys forming theI first syllable or part of .t group, the last of these keys being a vowel; and will immediately touch a space key and thus space the carriage, and will proceed to complete the group. 1f the word or logogram is long, the operator will again touch a space-key and add another group, and so on. After the completion of the word or logogram, the carriage is spaced to produce the necessary blank interval between the words. The types .a'institute sections of the syllable or of the final complete character or logogram, and these types or sections are mounted to strike at the same piinting point, so that their imprints would be superposed, but by iiians of said space-key a relative movement e ifecn-ii between the worksheet and the types, to cnabk` the type sections to combine their imprints to build up the required iogogram or multiple space character.
Another feature of the invention. relates to equipping the same nnichine' writing in another language. at will. as for instance, English or French.
Still other features and ad.:intages will also hereinafter a ppear.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the Korean consonants and vowels by means of which the written logograms.units, or groupings of the Korean language are i the vowels bring geni rally placed or at one side the cniisonants, as illustrated at Fie. 2. Fi". l also shfrws some in lwriting' Korean. Fig. shows a work-s 11,-et on which are written some Korean logogranis; each line of writin reading from top to bottom, and the lines beirg pla ccd one at the side of another. Between the lines of writing appears a series of dashes, which are used herein diagramniatically to indicate the letter-feeding movements of the paper farriage, or in other words, to show the sub-divisions of the line of writing: from which it will be noticed that each of the consonants takes up about an entire sub-division or letter-space. Fig. Ii is a sectional side elevation, taken about reutrally from front to rear of a tyl'iewritmg machine of the Underwood style and constructed in accordance with the present iniprovements. Fig. -t is a plan of the lfeyboard. Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic plan of the types, nearly as they appear in the type basket. Fig. (i is a perspective front view of the principal parts of the key-operated. mechanism, showing clearly the devices for silencing the letter-feeding mechanism. Fig. 7 is a front view of the letter-feeding or escapement dog rocker, showing t v`:itions of the parts when Englis being written on the typewriter. Fig. 8 is a perspective rear view of the parts seen at Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a front View similar to Fig. T, but showing the normal positions of the parts for writing Korean. Fig. 10 is a sectional side elevation to illustrate the movement of the universal bar when the letter-feeding mechanism vis silenced by reason of the operation of one of the special all-Korean keys when the case-shift mechanism has been shifted to upper-case or abnormal position. Fig. 11 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing the mechanism positioned to write English words.
The Korean types 10 are connected to figure keys 11, to strike a platen 12. In many respects the machine illustrated in the drawings resembles the well-known Underwood front-strike writing machine, the tyi'ies being mounted upon bars 13 which are pivotcd upon a. curved fulcrum wire 14 to strike rearwardly through a ribbon against the front side of said platen 12. the ribbon. being mounted upon the usual vibrator 15, which at every key stroke lifts the ribbon to cover the printing point and then drops it to uncover the printing plant. driven by bell cranks 16, which have pinand-slot connections at 17 to levers 1H carrying said keys 11` the levers being fuicrunicd at their rear ends upon a, rod 15) and having returning springs Q0, and being connected between their ends to said bell cranks lo. The work-sheet 21 is seen at Fig. 3 as havingr been placed around the platen, and a Korean type is sei-n as striking the same.
The Korean type characters 10 are placed rrosswise on the type bars 13, so that the type impressions upon the work-sheet 21 will appear cumbent. Said work-sheet having been inserted sidewise into the machine` as will be explained, the impressions will therefore appear in proper position one under another* when the sheet is taken out and The type-bars are turned around so as to bring' its top into propel' position to be viewed by the reader.
Fig. 5 showsa diagrammatic plan or projection of the types as they appear in the type basket, the types being in the form of raised reverse characters. as shown. 'l`he impressions made by the types are seen at Fig. 1, in which figure the consonants are shown rseparately from the vowels and from the special or arbitrary characters. At Fig. 2 are seen two lines of writing upon the work sheet 21, the right-hand edge of which, it will he understood, is introduced first into the typewriting machine, the letters heilig written from top to bottom of the sheet, but appearing while in the machine to be written from left to right.
As will be apparent from an inspection of Figs. l and 5, the consonants usually occupy the entire width of their types, and hence occupy approxin'iately an entire subdivision of the. printing space on the work-sheet. lt will be ntiticed at Fig. l that some of the consonants are duplicated; certain of them being deiressed, to permit the writing of horizontal vowel marks thereover. These vowel marks are properly located on their type blocks for this purpose. as seen at Fig.
The vertical vowel marks may be written at the right of the several consonants seen at Fig. 1.
None of the character kejs l1 will effect a letter-spacing movement of the carriage 22 on which the platen 12 is carried: but after a consonant has been written and its vowel then added thereto. the operator depresses a space key 23. which feeds the carriage one space. lt will be noticed that the car riage has the usual rack il to mesh with a pinion 25. which is connected to an escapement wheel QG. and that feeding digs 2T. 2S control the movements of said escapement wheel. These dogs are mounted on a rocker Q9, from which depends an arm ft), in positionto be engaged by a space-key arm 31. rlihe space-key Q3 is mounted on arms 3Q. which extend forwardly from a rock shaft 33, and said arm 31 extends hack from this shaft. The letttafeeding movement of the carriage produced b v depressing .said key 23, is therefore accomplished li'n the manner usual in typewriting machines: the arm 3l swinging up andthe rocker 29 being swung to carry the dog 23 into and the dog '2T out of engagement with the wheel 2G; and a spring 34 returning the parts to normal positions upon the release of the key 23. thereby permitting the wheel lo to escape one teoth and the carriage 22 to feed one space. Having therefore written a consonant with its accompanying vowel to make a syllable, and then depressed the space key to feed the paper along. the operator proceeds to write the succeeding consonant and its accompanying vowel, to make another syllable. 1f it is the end of a word, the operator may depress the space-key 23 twice, .so as to produce the space between words. 1f, however. the word is yet inconiplete. the operator presses the key 'ifi only once, and then proceeds to write. another consonant with its accompanying vowel or vowels. to forni the remainder of the logogram or grouping` .several examples of which are seen at Fig. lt will be seen that they characters are sulliciently large to be legible without making the types unduly wide: and iu using the machine in this way it is only necessary for the operator to remember lo press the .space-kav 23 after every single er double vowel. 'l`he type sections all strike at the same printing point, and unless the paper were `stepped along they could not combine to print a complete logogram or word. But said space-key moves the paper just far enough to enable the type imprints to combine to form a single multiple-space logogram. lly making the type-sections strike at a single printing center. compactncss of the arrangement of the types in the machine is secured. More over. it becomes practicable to combine the English or other lhenician alphabet types with the agglutinate type-sections.
'l`here .should appear a slight clear space between the sub-groups forming the main groupings or logograms; and in order to provide for this clearance, 1 form the tynes on a smaller pitch than would naturally conform to the letter-spacing movements of the carriage. Preferably the types are made of a suitable size for writing nine characters to the inch, while the carriage is arranged to travel onceighth of an inch at cach movement: whereby the desired clearance between the sulrgroupings is secured.
rlhe ribbon carrier lo, as usual in the l'nderwootl machine, is caused to rise at the t'vpc strokes to cover the printing point with the ribbon. 'l`he type-bars have heels 35 which press rearwardly a universal bar ill?. which is formed on the forward end of a frame 37. Rising from said universal har is a plate 38, having a slot Clt), in which is confined a pin 4l) on a lever 4l, which is connected at l2 to the lower end of the ribbon carrier 15: said lever being pivoted at 43 upon a bracket 44. This universal bar frame 33T. il will be remembered. does not perform its usual function of operating the feed dogs 2T and 28 when Korean characters are heilig printed, but operates only to raise and lower the ink ribbon; the usual spring l5 being provided for returning the universal bar frame forwardly to normal position.
One of the features of invention disclosed in the drawings relates to using the same typewriting machine for writing in either of two language.` at will. 1t will be seen at Tig, 5 that each type blcck carries English letters 46 placed longitudinally of the typebars in the usual manner. so that the letters wiil appear in their natural upright positions on the paper in the machine; whereby the machine is adapted to print English as well as Korean; although not limited t0 these languages. ny language using the `Roman alphabet. or 1*- -r derivative of the ihenician alphabr ould be written, as well as Korean or other language using cemposite or agglutinate characters built up by printing several character types one after another in various positions or groupings before feeding the work-sheet, particularly where the lilies of writing reatl up and down the page.
The Roman characters are shown placed at the extreme tips of the type-bars, and the ase-shift mechanism usual in the Underwtod machine is brought into requisition to enable the Roman characters to be written. Fither of two shift keys 47, 48, may be used for this purpose; preferably the key 4S. because it is provided with a latch 49 (Fig. 11) t0 catch over a pin 50 on the shift key lever 51. to hold the same dcwn and leave both hands of the operator free for manipulating the type keys: the latch being releasable by a handle Cach of the shift levers 51, 53 has at its rear end` an upstanding arm. These arms7 designated as 54, 55. engage bell crank arms 56, 57 on a platen-shifting frame. which is hinged at to the main framework 59 of the. typewriter. These bell cranks comprise arms (E0 which are joined at their for- Yard ends by a shift rail (31. The platen 12 is mounted in a platen frame 62, which is connected by rock arms G3 to the main carriage said rock arms extending forwardly frtm a rock shaft (i4 in the usual manner; whereby the platen lnay shift up andy down, but is compelled to travel with they carriage. Thcplaten frame has a roll (34 to run upon said rail G1; and wlien thc rail is lifted the platen and frame `a`i f'thrown up to the, Fig. 11 position, to enable the and so there is connected tothe case-shift mechanism a shiftable device which, when the parts are in the shifted Fig, 11 position, causes the universal bar frame 37 to operA ate the carriage-feeding dogs 27, 28. Said shiftable device is in the nature of an interponent (Figs. 7 to 10), which is de pressed or silenced at Fig. Si while Korean is being written, but which is shifted by either shift key 47 or 48 up to effective positi( n (Figs. 7 and 11). At Fig. 11 it will be seen that'said interponent is engageable by the rear edge of the universal frame 37 to transmit the movement of the latter' to the dog rocker, so that the dogs are caused to reciprocate at every type-key stroke. so that the 'arriage may feed after cach type is printed. This interponent is fixed upon a slide (i6 which can be shifted up and down on the frcnt side of the dog rocker Q9; said slide having a slot 67 by which it is guided on suitable brackets G8 fixed on the dog 'rocker. A spring (39 tends constantly to lift the interponent to the effective pcsition at Figs. 7 and 11; and an arm 70, which projects rearwardly from a rock shaft 71. is provided with a lip 7'2 to engage a lug 73 projecting from the interponent slide (3G, to depress the same; the position of the rock shaft 71 being contrclled by the platen shift rail (il, to which is fixed a depending arm 71, which has a slotted pci-tion 7.3 to engage and depress an arm 76 fixed en said rock shaft 71. This arm 74. 75 shown at Fig. (i as holdingr down the arm 76; the parts be ing in position for writing Korean. and the interponent G5 being drcpped out of the path of the universal bar 37.
When the shift rail 61 rises, counterweights 77 cn arms 70 and 7G tend to cause said arms to rise; and this motion is as sisted by the spring (it) which elevates the interponcnt (S5 to the Fig. 7 position. so that the carriage may feed automatically while English.y Roman. Greek or other suitable lettcrs are being written: this of course making no difference inthe operation of the space-key Q3. which is now used only for upper-case or English characters to printwilie purpose of making spaces between the principal Kcrean characters not being` able to strike the platen at this time. The arm 44, which carries the ribben-vibrating lever 41.y is fixed to said shift rail (il to shift up and down therewith; the bcdily shifting movement of the lever' 41 being permittcd by the length of the slot 39 in which the pin 40 works. Hence. the ribbon vi brates to cover and uncover the printing point when the llnglish alphabet is being used`r as well as when the Korean characters are being used.
\Vhen writing English, it is desirable that the carriage E22 should make its letter-feeding movements automatically, as usual, at the depressions of the various type keys;
words in the usual manner in writiner ling lish. Y
Special Korean character keys 78. 7.() and S0 fail to feed the carriage. not only when the platen 12 is down as at Fig 3, but also when it is elevated as at Fig. 11; because the upper-:ase as well as the lowercase characters on these keys are Kor am, and it is therefore desired that the carriage should not feed at all when either upper or lower case characters are being written thereby. In order to provide that these special keys shall not feed the carriage when writing upper-case characters, each of the keys 7S` 79 and 80 is provided with a silencing mechanism, which may comprise a link 81 ltit connected at iti-t lower end to the eorrespondlng key level', and its upper end having a Slot 542 to engage a pin e' provided upon an arm Si extending rearwardly from the roek shaft 7l. llvlien the maehine is in lowercase or Korean-writing position, these slotted links 82 ride idly up and down upon the pins Sli; but upon the parts being `@hifted to -he upper-ease poezition, the three arms til roek up to the Fig. ll position, so that the pins 82% shift up to the top of the slots n2. This having been done. it follows` that when- Gfefr any of the three type keye` TH, T), nl) is depressed. its` arsoeiated link #il is pulled down, and thun4 rockbl down the arm Si and roek shaft Tl to whieh ity is fixed, and Causes arm 7l) on Said Aahaft to hear down lug T3, and thereby pull down the slide (Sli and its interponent (55. This occurs before the heel 35 of the type-bar eti-ikea the universal har 36. 'hen the universal bar is finally struck and moves backward, the interpellent (35 is held depressed by the link il as aforesaid, and hence no motion is transmitted from the universal har to the dog rocker 2S) and the earriage fails to feed. 'Illia permits the use of eXtra kevs which are not neeessary for writing English. Since each of these extra keys has two Korean characters thereon. it, will he underatood that `very few ofeueh extra keys will Sulliee, so that. the keyboard will notl be unduly enlarged, or in other words, the keys are brought within the limit of an ordinary typewriting machine, so that very little change needs to be made, in the machine in order to adapt it for writing either Korean or Iilngliah at will. The type` whieh are eonneeted to keys T8, T2), 8O are marked H5, N3, o7 at Fig. 5,
lt will he seen by eomparing the keys and the. types at Figs. 4 and 5, that there are upon the upper ease-shift several punctuation marks, and figures and a few eliaraetera for VEnglish writing: and it will be understood that all of these would feed the carriage autoinairally. lt will be alo ob- `eervedithat' the Korean eharaeteray upon the ,loupe read i'xaturally` that ie., they are stand-f ing upon their feel, and appear the naine on the lieve an they do on the vertn'al line of Korean writin". whereas on the types the character are pla'zed in ruinlient positions or eros-wise on the typen; or iu other words, the Korean type poz-itioiul at lfig. 5 are at right angle:-l to the iguref, at Fig. l, for reasons: already explained,
From the foregoing it will he #een that the same maehine in adapted both for writing Korean eliaraelers down a page, and for wiiing linglish eharaeteix arrose a page, and the eos-,t of produeing the unn'lnne is onlv a trifle greater than the coat of produeing a machine, for writing 1korean or only" linglish. Y
rlhe arrangement of the l\orean types to print at a Common eenter in such a way that the carriage may be spaced during the writing of a multiple-Space Korean unit or sub-grouping (including several consonants and vowels) not only permits the use of large types without unduly increasing the width ofthe types, but also enables the rillinlier of types. to be kept at sueh a minimum that the same typewriting maehine may have Capacity for a set of additional types, auch as English or the like; and these English or other types may be placed upon the :same type-bars or blocks as the Korean, and a case-shift mechanism may be used to print either one language or the other as required. The English types are shown as comprising an alphabet of capital letters, and these correspond to the capital shift types of an ordinary typewriting machine.
At Figs. 3 and 4- there shown a key 88, nhieh is depressed as soon as the last logoram or sub-grouping is written in Koreaan. 'i he operation of this key causes the carriage to make two letter-feeding movements. Thus the earriage is fed not only for the last logogram or unit. but also-for the space between the worde. lvsually when writingthe last vowel in each sub-grouping or unit, the ordinary spaee-key 23 depressed simultaneously with the type key; but when writing the very last cha 1aeter in a unit or grouping` the key S8 is depressed simultaneously with the type key. Suitable meehanism may be eonneeted to the key 88 to enable it to produee two letter-feeding movementa` or double feed of the paper carriage There is illustrated hereinl one form of surh meehanism. but any other form may be used. ln the form illustrated, the carriage may make a eomplete feeding movement at the down stroke of the key 8H. and may also make an additional eomplete feeding movement at the return stroke of sain key thus making two n'ioveiuents of the earriage for every eomplete operation of said key 548. The la t-mentioned key is mounted upon a lever Si?. fillernniod at il() on the framework. and having a rearwardly extending arm 9i, whieh earries a pin l2 to engage a .alot 93 in an arm ll-l, whieh proieets from a 'horizontal roi-k haft 93 extending aeross the maehine. Kir-ing from this roek s-.haft i5 an arm fll'. having a vani JT to engage a pin M projeeting from the lower end of the dog roekel- :irm Ill), lipon depression of the key HH, the arm ll rises and earries up the arm nl. thereby roeking the shaft 95 and swinging the arm fl forwardly, so that the cam il? thereon may foree up the pin 98 and pass beneath the `:ame and elear thereof, as seen in dotted linea` at liig. 3. When the apex or point oll the ram passing under the pin 9S, the do; roeker i-unpletes one movement; and after the forwardly swinging eam passes the piu, the anual epring Si (Fig, n) returns the dog rocker and the carriage :22 feeds along. while the key 88 is held down by the operator. VUpon releasing said key. a strong spring J9 i'etiirns the same and forces the cam arm 9G rearwardly; a second rain l0() thereon now engages the same lpin 9o and again forces the saine upwardly. to repeat the movement of the dog rocker Zihtlie latter completing its new initial stroke as the point otl the cam passes rearwardly under the pin 9&5. 'lhe rocker 2S) then makes its return stroke as the cani arm 96 completes its backward movement to normal position.
