NEWMAN H. HOLLAND, OF, WEST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO NEW" JERSEY PATENT COMPANY, OF WEST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATIQN 613 NEW JERSEY.
PHONGGRAPIH.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I; NEWMAN H. HOL- LAND, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of West Orange, Essex county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Phonographs, of which the following is a description.
My invention relates generally to phonographs and particularly to memorandum attachments for dictating machines. Attachments of this general character are well known in the art. They enable the dictator to indicate on a prepared memorandum slip instructions for any part of the record, so that the operator or typist on taking up a record for transcription, by referring to the corresponding slip, can have, in advance, full infomation as to the manner, order, etc., the different matters recorded are to be transcribed.
The object of the invention is to provide an attachment which will not interfere with or retard the free movement of the recorder carriage or obscure the memorandum while the machine is being used.
I will specifically describe the structure and mode of operation of my attachment and then set forth in distinct claims the parts or combinations which I regard as my invention. v
In the drawing which forms a part of this specification Figure 1 is side elevation of a portion of a well known type of phonograph, showing my improved attachment applied thereto Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a view showing a modification.
,The same reference numerals designate the same parts on the different views,
The phonograph shown is of the Edison type and comprises a body 1, having the back rod 2 and guide rod 3 on which the carriage 1 for the recorder 5: is slidably supported. Mandrel 6 carries the cylindrical record 7. Suitable motor mechanism (not shown) is provided for rotating the record and feeding the recorder thereover. All of these parts are familiar to those skilled in the art and need no further description. Attached to the body of the machine is a platen or support 8 adapted to receive a memorandum slip-9. Each slip is divided into longitudinal sections by parallel lines Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 28:, 920.
Serial No. waste.
and suitable indicia are printed opposite each section to indicate the particular instruction to be followed. Formed integrally with the platen and projecting upwardly and forwardly therefrom are perforated lugs 10 in which are secured the parallel rods 11. Supported on these rods is a slide or means 12 for locating marking positions on the slip and in which marking means such as a number of spring pressed punches 13 may be mounted. I have illustrated three such punches corresponding to the three longitudinal sections of the memorandum slip, but, of course, any desired number may be provided and the number of longitudinal sections of the slips correspondingly increased, according to the variety of the different instructions desired to be given. The slide is movable laterally over the platen independently of the carriage. Platen 8 has three longitudinal groves 11- cut in its upper face, and the punches are in position to cooperate with these grooves, so that when a punch is depressed its point will readily perforate the memo slip. An arm or straight line pointer 15 or other means is secured to carriage t near the recorder 5 and projects forwardly and downwardly over the platen .8 and in advance of and in position to be struck by slide 12. The arm or pointer 15 constitutes a stop for the slide, indicates the latters marking positions and is so constructed and arranged as not to obscure the memorandum whereby the latter may be easily read by the dictator at any time. The arm 15 furthermore does not unduly weigh down the carriage and prevent its free movement.
Whenever the dictator desires to give a particular instruction, he will move the slide until it is stopped by coming against arm 15 and will then depress the appropriate punch. These operations will obviously cause a perforation to be made in the memo slip opposite that part of the record to which the instruction relates, the section of the slip wherein the perforation is made indicating the particular instruction. The slide 12 after a mark is made may be left in its last position over the memorandum to indicate where the dictation was last interrupted or may be slid back out of the way.
In the modification illustrated by Fig. 3, means is provided to automatically return the slide to an initial position at either end of the platen and is especially applicable to constructions in which the slide is in ad Vance or" the arm or on the righthand side of the arm looking at the figures. The slide is connected by a tape 19 to a drum 20 which is rotatably mounted on a shaft 21. A coiled spring 22, mounted upon shaft 21, is connected at one end to the drum and at its other end to lug 10. A. sleeve 28 surrounds the shaft and prevents the spring moving the drum from a central position. fv'hen the operator moves the slide against arm 15 in making a record on the memo slip, the tape will unwind from the drum and consequently put the spring under tension and when he releases the slide the latter will, of course. be retracted to its initial position out of the way of the advancing carriage arm 15 and recorder 5.
It is to be understood that my invention is not limited to the embodiments and features specifically shown and described herein, but that such embodiments and features are subject to changes and modifications without any departure from the spirit of the invention.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent ot' the United States is:
1. In a phonograph, a movable carriage a support adapted to receive a memorandum slip and means for locating marking positions on the slip, mounted for -1novement laterally over the support independently of said carriage and to positions corresponding with positions occupied by said carriage, substantially as described.
2. In a phonograph, a movable carriage, a support adapted to receive a memorandum slip, indicating means movable with said carriage and means for locatin marking positions on said slip, mounted for movement laterally over the support independently of said carriage and to positions determined by the location of said indicating means, substantially as described.
3. In a phonograph, a movable carriage, a support adapted to receive a memorandum slip, means for locating marking posi- Leeann tions onsaid slip, movable laterally independently of said carriage and mounted above said support to move thereover and an arm connected to said carriage and extending over said support and into the path of said means to indicate marking positions to be occupied by said means, substantially as described.
4:. 111 a phonog aph, a movable carriage,a support adapted to receive a memorandum slip, means for locating marking positions on said slip, mounted for movement laterally over the support independently of and in advance of said carriage and to positions corresponding with positions occupied by said carriage and means for automatically returning said first means to initial position after being moved laterally therefrom, substantially as described.
5. In a phonograph, a movable carriage, a support adapted to receive a memorandum slip, indicating means movable with said carriage. means for locating marking positions on the slip, mounted for movement laterally relatively to said support and to positions determined by and in advance of the location of said indicating means and means for automatically returning said l0- eating means to an initial position after being moved laterally therefrom, substantially as described.
6. In a phonograph, a movable carriage,a support adapted to receive a memorandum slipQmeans for locating marking positions on said slip and movable laterally over said support independently of and in advance of said carriage, an arm attached to said carriage and extending over said support into the path of said means to act as a stop therefor and automatic means for returning said first means to an initial position after being moved laterally against said arm, substantially as described.
This specification signed and witnessed this 13th day of September, 1917.
