- Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 19, 1918.

Application filed February 14, 1917. Serial No. 148,481.

New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Setting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus whereby the operation of a key board having letter and number keys, automatically produces the selection of printing type from a suitable magazine, and causes such type to be placed or set up in a chase in the proper sequence and position; whereby the chase or form is adapted to be placed in a suitable press to take an impression from the matter set up, and produce the desired printing.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved mechanism forproduo ting these results, wherein the act of depress ing any one of the keys will first select the corresponding type and cause it to be deposited in a. guideway, and thereupon such type \Vlll lJG advanced and placed in the chase.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved means for very quickly advancing the selected type to the chase, that is actuated solely by the depression of the key.

Another object is to provide improved mechanism for advancing the chase to, consecutive positions relative to the guide-way along which the type are advanced, for producing the several lines of printing.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments of my invention, Figure 1' p is a plan view of the apparatus, partly in section. Fig. :2 is a vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fi 1. Fi 3 is a transverse section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line- 44 of .Fi 2-. Fig. 5 is a Partial verticalsection enlarged on the'line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view enlarged of the bars connecting the key levers with the selectors. Figs. 7, 8, 9, and 10 showdotails of the same. Fig. 11 is adetail View enlarged of the lower portion of the carriage. Fig. 12'is a section on the line 1212 of Fig. 11. Fig. 13 is a side elevation, and Fig. 14 is a vertical section of the actuating means for the type in the holders. Figs. 15

and 16 show the carrier.

As shown in the drawings, the apparatus comprises essentially a magazine composed a of a series of type holders, each containing considerable number of the same type; a keyboard with connections for causing theact of'depressing akey to efi'ect the selection and delivery of the corresponding type into a suitable guide-way; also a carriage and chase arranged-to reciprocate and advance across the end of the guide-way to receive the selected type as fed along the guide-way by suitable advancing means, controlled or actuated by the depression of the key. The apparatus further includes means for automatically advancing the carriage step-by-step after each typeis advanced for spacing if desired; and also means for the line-spacing movement of the chase.

At the upper part of the apparatus, I pro-- vide a 'magazine in the form of a double series of type holders, indicated by 1 and2,

that are composed of'channels 3 in a frame 48, carrying a setof type 4 in each channel as shown in detail in Fig. 5. The type channels in the two sets are arranged opposite guide-ways 5 and 6, see Fig. 1. In each channel is arranged a follower 7, connectedto a band 8 (see Figs. 13 and 14) passing around a drum 9, controlled by a spiral spring 15, and a ratchet l0 and pawl 11. By' this; means when the drum is released from the pawl the type will be forced to the inner end of the. channel and-pass into the.

guide-way 5 or 6. Each of the type channels or holders 3 is provided with similar actuating means for the type as just set forth. At the end of each type channel a slide 12 reciprocatesvertically to have its beveled upper end move across the end of the type channel 3 adjacent the guide-way 5 or 6. This slide 12 is pivoted on the end of a rock bar 13 (see Fig; 5) and is normally drawn up by spring 14 to extend into the 7 channel and prevent the type. therein being forced by the band 8 into the guide-way.

Thedrum 9 is rotated by the spring 15 to wind up the band and advance the type. The pawl 11 connects with the rock bar 13 bv alink.16,;whereby the, pawl is normally.

held above the ratchet wheel 10, as shown at the left in Fig. 5, permitting the spring to act to draw the type toward the guideway, and the end type will be pressed against the slide 12 to prevent its escape.

lit will be observed that this pawl 11 lies just beyond the end of a tooth, and when the slide 12 is drawn downwardly, as indicated at the right in this view, the pawl will engage the tooth of the ratchet wheel and permit turning of the ratchet wheel by the spring for nearlythe distance of one tooth. This will serve to advance the end type into the guide-way 5, the pawl preventing further advance of the follower and type. The return of the slide 12 by 1ts spring on release of bar 13 will cause the sharp end of the slide to pass across the end of the next succeeding type and engage 1ts outer face, which is done before the pawl is again elevated suiiiciently to release the ratchet wheel, thus preventnig advance of the end type until the slide is again retracted. The slide is pressed against a guide 17 by spring 18.

At the front of the machine 18 a key board denoted generally by 19. comprising a series of key bars 20 extending rearwardly and suitably pivoted at their rear ends at'21, see Fig. 2. Each key bar has means connecting it with one of the said selector bars 13, see Fig. 6. Beneath. each key bar 20, is arranged a bar 22 parallel therewith and which is suitably supported for parallel downward movementwhen depressed by a lug 23 on the key bar engaging the bar 22. The bar 22 is supportedby

arms

24 and 25 of a pair of angle levers, whose upper arms '26 and 27 are connected by a link 28. The purpose of this is to cause parallel movement of the bar 22 upon. engagement thereof by the superposed key bar 20. It is to be understood that for each of the key bars 20 there is a bar 22 supported by anglelevers, arranged to produce the desired parallel movement on depression of the key lever.

Beneath the said bars '22 are arrangel a set of transverse bars 29, each having a lug 30 projecting upwardly in position for engagement with one of the bars 22. For

convenience of arrangement and operation,

the lugs 30 are arranged diagonally across the machine. The bars 29 are each supported by the

arms

31 and 32 0t bent levers whose arms 33 and 3a are connected by a link 35; whereby to produce parallel movement of the transverse bar 29. Each bar 29 has a connector 36 secured thereto, projecting upward adjacent one of the said rock bars 13 that controls the selector slide 12, as shown in Fig. 5. It will be seen from F 6 that the connector has a cross-head 37,

one arm of which will engage the bar 13 to draw it and the slide downwardly on depression of a key lever, through the described bar 22 and transverse bar 29. But byshit't ing the upper portion of this connector 36,,

the opposite arm of the cross-head will be brought above the adjacent rock bar 13*. The type holders are divided into two sets,

there being one connector 36 for each pair oi? type holders and connected rock bars 13, such as 13 and 13 in Fig. 6. The object of this is to arrange the capital letter type in one set and lower case type in the second set. For instance, the rock bar 13 being actuated 'by the connector 36 will serve to select a lower case letter, while if the connector is shifted to actuate the rock bar 13 instead of the bar 13, then the capital for the same being secured to the lower member 13 of the frame 38. The'key 39 may be locked in depressed position by a spring arm 4A. This will serve to shift all of the connectors 36 to the rear, as indicated in Fig. 2, and they will engage with the rock bars 13* instead of the rock bars 13, by the cross-heads 37.

The plate 38 and its lower portion 43 form a kind of frame that is shiiftable back and forth and rests on ball bearings as shown at 45 in Fig. 2. This frame will be reciprocated by the key 39 and carry the connectors to engage either set of selector slides. This frame carries all of the said angle bars supporting the bars 22 and bars 29. Stops 137, 237 limit the back and forth movement of frame 38.

, It will be observed from Fig. 1 that there are two sets of type holders 1 and 2 that serve to advance the type into the guide ways 5 and 6 respectively. Half of the keys and key barson one side cooperate with one set and the remaining ones with the opposite set.

At the rear of the guide-ways 5 and 6 they converge, and the type by the advancing means from each of the guide-ways, is passed through an outlet channel at 416.

An advancing means is provided for each .of these guideways, that are in duplicate,

one of them connected with each half of the bank of keys. This device is in the form of an extensible and contractible device such as a lazy-tong mechanism shown in Figs. 1 and 2. On a bracket 4:7 supporting the frame 48 containing the guide-way 5, is a bar +29 having links 50 and 51 at its, upper and lower ends respectively. These links 50 and 51 are connected by

links

52 and 53 respectively, with levers 541- and mounted on a fixed pivot 56. The latter levers connect with a series of linked

levers

57 and 58 shown extended in broken line position, and shown .in the normal posit-ion in full lines. The forward links 59 and 60 connected with the

levers

57 and 58 are pivoted to a carrier thereof, and are retained in engagement with such gear by arms 64 and (-35. They engage the rear of the rack bars, preferably by rollers 66. These arms are free to swing on the axis cit-the gear and it will be understood that rotation of this gear-causes advanceof the rack bars in opposite directions so that one link is moved upwardly the other one is drawn downwardly thus serving to actd ate the lazy-tong levers 5T and-58. Adjacent the gear is another gear 67 secured 1S engaged by asegment arm thereto, that on a shaft 69 that swings outhe bracket 17 The gear is fast to a shaft 691* that carriesa similar gear *?11- meshing with a segment arm 71. The latter is fast on shaft 69-01 the segment 69' A link 7?; depends from segment 68 and a similar link 7 0 from segment 71. These links 73 and T0 carry a cross-bar 74 extending under the key bars at the right hand side of the machine. \Vhen any of these key bars is depressed this crossbar 74; will move downward and thus swing thesegment arms. This will turn the gears and shift the rack bars, to actuate the lazy-tong device and advance the carrier 72 throughout the guide-way 5, to feed any selected type passed into the guide-way by the said selecting and advancing means, and place such type in the chase. But the crossbar 74' is placed a shortdistance below the key bars, so that the carrier will not be actuated until the described selecting meanshas caused the selected type to be advanced into the guideway.

For the other guide-way an identical form of lazy-tong'mechanismisprovided as indicated at 75 in 1. Thismechanism is provided with across bar 76 similar to the cross-bar 7 1 that extends across beneath all of the other key bars 20 that do not engage with thecross-bar 7 bars and the lazy-tong de ice'with its'car rier, cooperate with the set .2 of thetype' holders on the right side of the machine.

It'will thus be seen that to supply the type in the channels or holders, corresponding with the keys'by which they are controlledz itis only necessary to"depress the desired. keys, when the corresponding type will be released to'be advanced into the guide by its controlling spring, which'is done at once on the depression of the key. This depression ofthe key *also'servesto actuate the lazy-tongdev-ice, that-is advanced imme- The latter set of key diately after the selected type has been moved. into the guide-way, and the carrierwill cause such type. to be advanced to the endof the guide-way. Suitable springsare provided forreturning all ofthesc parts to normal positions. Each of therlinks 35 is connected by spring. 77 witha fixed portion of the machine, that will return the bars 29 tonormal. positions when released. Each of the angie bars :2-fi26 is eonnectedto a retra'ctile spring 7 8 (see Fig. 2) that will reto' normal position when released. .Also a spring 7 9 serves toreturn the lazy-tong device to normal position.

To receive the type selected and advanced, I provide a -.carriage denoted generally by SO that is movablelaterally acrossthe rear, of themachine, which carriage is provided with a chase 14S arranged to slide in a frame 81 on the carriage, that has vertical movement on the carriage for the purpose of line spacing.- The carriage is shown as support I turn the barsrQQ, and also the key bars 20 V ed at 82' and-83 on suitable bearingsand is drawn fromright to left across the machine by a band 84:, carried by drum 85, that may contain the usual spring such as used in typewriters. The movement of the carriage in this direction controlled by any suitable escapement device, indicated at 86 in Fig. 2, that will permit the. carriage to. advance a unit distance at each operation of a key lever. On the escapement is an arm.87 connect-ed with duplicate levers 88, which at the front have, links 89 connecting with

links

70, 73 whereby every depression of a key lever will operate the escapement. To returnv the carriage, I provide a draft rod 90 (see Fig. 1) that swings an arm 91 on. a spindle 92 at the rear. arm 93 engaging a gear 91- fast on an escapement drum 95, around whichone end of the band Si is wound and secured. This band is not directly connected with the carriage, but through a lever 96 pivoted on the carriage,v the connected end of the lever having its stud 97 that secures it to the band working in a slot 98 in the carriage-(see Figs. 1,2 and 11). returned by the said operating means, the lever 96 will first be swung to move stud 97 through the slot 98, and then the carriage is actuated. This lever is connected with the feeding means for the chase.

ustable stops are provided for the carriage that can be actuated from the'front'of the machine. As shown I provide a stop 99 This rod 100 has a g'earlOlmeshing with On this spindle is a segment hen the carriage is.

a gear 102 on a 'sideshaft' 103. The latter extends to the front'of-the machine, to be turned by ahandle 104:. -An indicaton'guide 105- slides'on athreaded shaft 106 to move a pointer-107 along a scale 108. T hisshaft 106 has a get. on the shart A. similar mechanism is provided on t opposite side of the machine for ope ng stop identical with the stop 99, controlled by handle 111 through a side shaft 112.

A separate space key 113 is provided at the front, that rocks a lever 11%: to swing link 115, connecting with the escapement arm 87.

The chase frame 81 is provided with racks 11321115. 117 on its rear face that en gage worms 1L and 119 mounted on

vertical shafts

120 and 121 respectively, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and These shafts rotate in unison by having miter gears 122 and 123 that engage miter gears 12%: and 125 fast on a cross-shaft 126. The latter shaft has a gear 121' at one side meshing with a large gear 128, provided with a handle 129.v The latter serves to rotate he worm wheels and elevate or depress the chase as may be desired. The said shaft 123 is supported by

uprights

130 and 131 on the carriage 80. At the lower ends of the

shafts

120 and 121 are arranged

gears

132 and 133 each provide: with pawls 131 that mesh with

ratchet wheels

135, 136 that are fast on these two shafts. Said gears, 132, 133, mesh with

racks

138 and 139 on a slide 1&0 on the carriage. This slide is pivoted to the lever 96 whereby it connects with the band 8%. It has been set forth that when the carria e is returned, this lever will first be swung before the carriage moves. Hence slide 1 10 will be shifted to turn the ratchet wheel, and through the pawls the two worm shafts will be swung, which is sufficient to advance the chase the proper distance for line spacing. The pawls and ratchets will per nit the reverse movement of the worm shafts to elevate the chase when desired. in order to permit the chase to be depressed without moving the slide 14,0, means are provided to shift the pawls. A head 1 11 (Fig. 2) is slidable on each

shaft

120, 121 and has its lower end conical to engage pins 1&2 on the several pawls, serving to shift the pawls away from the ratchet wheels.

F or the purpose of freeing the carriage from the escapeinent I provide akey 1 13 that connects with lever 114i by link 145 (Fig. 4), and through link 1 16 serves to shift the escapement 86 out of range of the carriage rack 11?.
