Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in a copy-holder for typewriting machines.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a holder of this class, comprising a stirrup supported by the :trame of the typewriting machine and a plate for carrying the copy, the stirrup and the plate being adapted to be brought near to the frame of the machine, when the holder is not used, so that itis then not standing in the way.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of a typewriting machine provided with the novel copy-holder
  • Fig. 2 is a corresponding side view
  • Fig. 3 is also a side view, illustrating a part of the holder-plate in another position.
  • Fig. 4 is a front view on an enlarged scale of the copy-holder.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross-section on'the line V-V- of Fig. 4 and Figs. 6--8 illustrate ⁇ on an enlarged scale several details.
  • Figs. 9--10 illustrate a modification of a detail.
  • the stirrup 4 consists of a bar having a circular crossssection.
  • Each clamping bearing 2, 8 comprises two flat members 2 and 3 connected by means of screws 5.
  • rlhe ends of the stirrup 4 are connected by means of a rod 6 having also a circular cross-section.
  • the rod 6 has pins resting ⁇ in the slotted end of' the stirrup 4.
  • the slotted ends of the stirrup 4 can be pressed together by means of screws 7, the
  • a plate consisting of two halves 8 and 9.
  • the arms 10 carrying the plate piece 9 are rigidly connected to the rod 6, while the arms carrying the plate halt' 8 are loose on the rod 6, so that the plate half 8 can be rotated about the rod 6.
  • a disk 11 provided with a recess or slot 12.
  • the plate half 8 is provided with a pawl 14 acted upon by a spring 13.. TWhen the'two plate halves 8, 9 are lying in one plane, the pawl 14 engages into the recess 12 of thev disk 11 securing thereby the two parts 8, 9 in the proper position with regard to each other.
  • Each plate half 8 and 9 respectively, is provided with a wire stirrup 15.
  • the ends of the stirrups 15 are pivotally connected to the rear-side of the parts 8, 9.
  • These stirrups 15 are bent in the manner illustrated in Fig. 5 over the upper edge of the plate part 8 andthe lower edge of the plate part 9 respectively, the bridge pieces 15 of the stir rups resting on the front side of the plate halves 8, 9.
  • Springs 16 press the bridge pieces 15 against the two plate halves 8, 9.
  • autism plate half 8 and 9 respectively, is provided on one side with a toothed rack 17.
  • the two racks 17 form one continuous track.
  • the slide 18 (Figs. 7 and 8) denotes ak slide surrounding a part of one of the toothed racks 17 and. the edge of that plate half on which is mounted said rack 17.
  • the slide 18 carries a toothed wheel 19 rigidly connected to a small hand wheel 20. rlihe toothed ywheel 19 engages the rack 17 and a spring 21 arranged between the hand wheel 20 and the slide 18 is adapted to exert a brake action upon wheel 19.
  • the slide 18 is provided with a cover-like member 22 acted upon by a spring 21a. To the member 22 is xed an index rod 23 extending across the whole width of the plate 8, 9. n
  • the typewriter can now move the plate 8, 9 supporting the copy into any inclined position and he can also bring the copy within the range of movement permitted by the stirrup 4, at any distance from him.
  • the hereinbefore described holder combines therefore with the advantage, that the plate S, 9 is adapted to be moved above the typewriting machine, the further advantage, that the plate 8, 9 can also be brought on the desired level with regard to the eyes and that the position of said plate can be adapted to the visive faculty of the writer.
  • An important advantage consists also in that the stirrup 4 supported in the frame of the typewriting machine is connected in the middle of the plate 8, 9 to the latter, so that any vibrations of the plate, and therefore of the copy, are diminished during the typewriting. A vibrating of the copy-holder would occur when the stirrup 4 would be connected to the upper or lower end of the plate 8, 9, the latter forming in this case a long lever-arm on the stirrup 4.
  • the rod 23 is for indexing the line, which has just to be copied.
  • the rod 23 is kept in the proper position by the spring 21 exerting a brake action upon the toothed wheel 19 engaging into the toothed rack 17.
  • the small hand wheel 20 has to be rotated.
  • the toothed wheel '1.9 is then" moved along the toothed rack 17 causing the rod 23 to move relatively to the plate 8, 9.
  • the parts of the copy projecting beyond the upper and lower edges of the plate may be inserted into the wire-stirrups 15 (Fig. 5).
  • the copy is only small and has, for instance, the size of a post-card
  • the pawl 14 is moved out of the recess 12 of the disk 11 and the plate half 8 is turned around, so that it comes to lie behind the plate half 9 (Fig. 3).
  • the width of the wire stirrup 15 of the plate half 9 exceeds to such an amount the width of the stirrup 15 of the plate half 8, that the stirrup 15 of the plate half 8 is clamped between the ends of stirrup 15 of the plate half 9 when the two halves 8, 9 are moved toward each other, the two plate-halves 8, 9 being thus secured in their proper position when they are parallel to each other.
  • the copy is put in this case on the plate half 9 and secured in the proper position by means of the wire stirrup provided on said part 9.
  • the copy-holder When the copy-holder has not to be used, it may be brought into the position illustrated in Fig. 2 in point and dash lines, in which position the holder is not standing in the way. In this position of the holder the machine can be covered in the usual manner with an oil-cloth or the like and it is also not in the way when the machine has to be carried about.
  • rlhis can be eected in a very simple manner by lifting the member 22.
  • rlhe stirrup 4 projects on both sides of the typewriting machine to such an amount beyond the latter, that it does not prevent in any position of the carriage of the machine a movement of the sheet wound around the machine platen.
  • the clamping action in the bearings 2 and 3 and in the ends of the stirrup 4 can be adjusted in such a manner by means of the screws 5 4and 7 respectively, that said action is great enough to fiX the stirrup 4 carrying the plate 8, 9 and the latter in any desired position.
  • the toothed rack 17 can also be dispensed with.
  • the toothed wheel 19 is replaced by a friction roller 24 acted upon by a spring 25, which is adapted to press said roller 24 against the plate S, 9.
  • a copy holder for typewriting machines comprising a stirrup pivoted to said machine at about the level of the rotary platen thereof, a copy supporting plate in two parts hinged together, means for adjustably pivoting said plate in said stirrup at about the hinge line thereof, a paper clip on the upper and lower edges of the respective plate sections, said clips interlocking with one another when the plate sections are folded one upon the other, and a latch to hold the plate sections in operative position.
  • a copy holder for typewriting machines comprising a pair of clamping bearings arranged at the back of the machine frame at each side thereof, a rectangular open frame having one side journaled in said bearings and capable of being folded down against the back of the machine and to swing over the top of the latter, a copy holding plate pivoted on the free side of the frame and capable of swinging through the latter, means for adjusting the plate at different angles to the ends of the frame, and means whereby the plate may be folded within the bounds of the frame.
  • a copy holder for typewritingmachines comprising a stirrup, means on the machine in which said stirrup is adjustably pivoted to be swung backward and forward over the machine, a copy supporting member adjustably pivoted on the stirrup to swing therethrough, said member comprising a pair of end abutting plates hinged together at a point olf-set from the plates, a rack on one side of each plate capable of abutting when the plates are placed in the same plane, and a line indicator cooperating With said rack,
  • a copy holder for typewiiting 1nachimes comprising a stiriup, means on the machine in which one end of the stiirup is Jii'ictioifially pivoted, a pair of plates, hinge straps otfset from said plates to hinge said plates on the other end of said stiiiup, said plates having their edges abutting and ly- 10 ing in the same plane when n operative position and arranged to swing through said stiriup, clips at non-abutting edges of the plates, said clips substantially contained between the plates, when folded and being diinensioned to lie Within the hinged olset, a ack on one edge of each plate and a line indicator tiaveisable along said rack.
