TYPEWRITING MIACHINE.

Application: filedOctober 16, 1922. Serial No. 594,689.

To all whom it may come/2t:

'Be it known that LEIERBERT E. BRIDG- watrnn, citizen of the United States, and re ident of Syracuse, in the county of Onon daga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Typewriting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

' lviy invention relatesto typewriting and like iachines, and more particularly to paper feeding means for such machines. The object of the invention, generally stated, is to provide a simple, inexpensive and highly efficient paper feed device which my be readily shifted to effective or ineffective position as may be desired. and by the mere act of thus shifting the device bringing into action means for effectively holding the device in either of such positions. V

"Stated more specifically, an object of the inventionis to provide a simple and efiective auxiliary wpaper feedor pressure device which may be maintained under spring pressure against the front of the platen or the paper thereon, and which, when it is desired to dispense with the use of such device, may be readily shifted to a position. at a considerable distance away from the platen where it may be maintained free from interference with the work sheets;

To the aboveand other ends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the features of construction, arrangementsof parts and combinations of devices set forth in the following description and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. i v

In the accompanyingdrawings, wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in the different views.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of 'a portion of a typewriting machine equipped with the paper feed device of my invention.

Figure 2 is a detail fragmentary vertical fore-and-aft sectional view of the same, taken on the line 2 -2 of Figure l and looking in the direction of the arrows at said line.

Figure 3 is a view corresponding to Figure 2 except that the paper feed'device is shownin side elevation instead of in section and is shown retractedtothe 1nefltective rposlt on.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail transverse sectional view of the paper feed device and some of the associated parts, the section being taken on the line %4; of Figure 2 and looking in the direction of the arrows at said line.

I have shown my invention embodied in the present instance. in a Monarchtypewriting machine equipped for use with VVahl I adding mechanism, said machine embodying inventions of Frederick A. Hart, Serial No. 630,226, filed April 6, 1923, although the paper feed device of my invention is not restricted to its use in such a machine but may be employed in various makes of typewriting or like machines In the accompanying drawings I have shown only so much of the machine referred to as is necessary to arrive at an understanding of my invention in its embodiment therein. i i

he typewriting machine comprises the usual carriage 1 supporting a platen 2. Side arms 3 are fixedly secured by suitable means to each end of the carriage. The means employed in the present instance are the same as those disclosed in the patent to Herbert H. Steele No. 1,222,694, dated April 17, 1917.

Parallel cross bars 4: have their feet 5 secured by screw bolts 6 and nuts 7 to the arms 3. These bars extend throughout the length of the carriage in front of the platen and are united at different points throughout the length thereof by shouldered spacing pins or members 8 riveted at their ends to the cross bars, as indicated at 9. As far as the present invention is concerned, these parts constitute portions of the typewriter carriage. 0

I utilize the cross bars 4 to support the paper feed device of my invention, although other supporting, means connected to the carriage may be provided fol-this Arranged about centrally of the carriage is a shouldered spacing pin or member 10 which preferably is connected at its ends to the cross bars 4 by headed screws Patented Sept. 18, 1923.

COAL BUNKER FOR LOCOMOTIVES.

Application filed 'August 29, 1922. Serial No. 585,023.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ismon Bnonuno, a subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Skarsatra Lidingon, Sweden. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coal Bunkers for Locomotives, of which the following is a specification.

In locomotives the store of coal is generally placed on a separate carriage running behind the locomotive, a'so-called tender, in a coal-bunker situated on said carriage. In small locomotives, as for instance in switchers, said tender isgenerally replaced by a smaller coal-bunker located behind the drivers cab and close to the "floor thereof. In some locomotives, particularly of the type in which the tender is used as a support for a condenser or other recooling device appertaining to the locomotive-aggregate it has proved diflicult to provide a separate coal-tender. In case of such locomotives being intended for larger development of power than switchii'ig, the above named arrangement of a coal-bunker at the rear wall of the drivers cab and its floor will not allow a store of coal of sufficient volume. o

It has also been previously proposed to place the coal-bunker above the steam boiler in front of the drivers (2:11), but in such case it has been difiicult to provide free outlook forwardly from the cab. Furthermore a coal-bunker situated in "front of the drivers cab will always result in coal-dust and the like being blown into the cab.

This invention relates to a coal-bunker for locomotives provided with condensers and consists in that the coal-bunker is located in the upper part of the drivers cab and. provided with a discharge-hopper which preferably is situated in the rear part of the cab.

The accompanying drawing illustrates diagrammatically an embodiment of the in- 45 vention. Fig. 1 shows a locomotive constructed according to the invention and Fig. 2 a section of the same, the left part of the figure on the line 13-15 in Fig. 1

bunker 9 which rearwardly and forwardlyhas the shape of a discharge-hopper 10 ending at such a height above the floor ll of the cab that the coals may be readily shoveled away. At either side of this discharge hopper there is room for the driver and the stoker to dwell during the journey v i and in the same place the operating mechanisms of the locomotive are provided. Besides at the sides of the discharge-hoppcr doors l2 and 13 are arranged through which there is passage to the compartment 14 where the turbinc-aggregate is located. The coal-bunker is in well-known manner provided at the top with shutters which in opened position form a receiving hopper.

IVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A coal-bunker for locomotives provided with condensers, characterized by the coal-bunker being located in the upper part of the drivers cab and provided with a discharge-hopper preferably situated in the rear part of the cab.

2. Coal-bunker according to characterized by the width of the dischargehopper being less than the width of the drivers cab for the purpose of providing room at either side of the hopper.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
