REGINALD S. COYSI-I, OF CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA.
' TYPEWRITER ATTACHMENT.
Application fi1ed June 2,
To all whom it may Concern:
Be it known that I, REGINALD S. CoYsH, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, and resident of Calgary, in the county ofCalgary and Province of Alberta, Dominionof Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Typewriter Attachments of which the followin is a s oecifi'ca- 7 D tion.
This invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in typewriter attachments and has for its primary object the provislon of an attachment of the character stated which may be readily applied to a conventional form of typewriter for supporting pins, pencils, erasers and the like in such a manner that they may be readily i the typewriter in such almanner as to be out of the way of the operator and yet within convenient reach so that pins, pencils, erasers and the like may be readily obtained from the attachment.
The invention has for a further object the provision of a typewriter attachment of the character set forth .includingpocket forming walls and plates connected by bottom forming straps and attaching members carried by one of said walls and having one portion formed for detachable engagement with the typewriter while their opposite portions are extended into one of the pockets to support the articlesplaced therein.
With the foregoing and other object in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of co-operat-ing elements as hereinafter more specifically set forth, claimed and shown in the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthe present application, in which:
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of the attachment, showing the same applied to a conventional form of typewriter, the greater portion of the typewriter being broken away for the sake of clearness.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the attachment, removed.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section substantially on the plane of line 33 of Fig.
1923. Serial No. 643,116.
2, looking in the direction indicated by the ,1;-
arrows.
Referring more in detail to the drawings in which similar reference characters desig- 'nate corresponding parts throughout the several views, it will be noted that the attachment includes a rear plate 5 and a forward plate 6 spaced apart to provide therebetween, the rear pocket 7 for a paper of pins 8 or other articles required for use by the operator of the typewriter 9 to which the attachment is applied. The plates 5 and 6 are connected by substantially U-shaped straps 10 forming bottom members for the pocket 7 and secured upon the rear of the plates5 and 6. The plate 6 is prefery ably wider from front to back than the plate 5 and positioned slightly below the latter as well as forwardly thereof. The height of the plate 6 is also less than the height of the plate 5 and supported in such a V manner as to serve as the bottom member of a .forward pocket 11 in which is located the pin-cushion 12 projecting slightly above the rear pocket 7. The forward legs of the substantially U-shaped straps 10 are extended upwardly above the plate 6 and engaged against the rear side of the pin-cushion 12. A strap 13 i employed to connect the ends of the forward legs of the substantially U- shaped straps 10 and provided with spaced openings 1-1 through which thread 15 or other suitable means may be extended for securing the pin-cushion 12 firmly in position within the forward pocket 11. This may be readily understood by referringto a Figs. 1 and 3. I H
A forward tray forming plate 16 is secured upon the outer face of the forward plate 6 and has its lower edge extended outwardly and then turned up to form the 7 bottom tray 17. The plate 16 also has outwardly ofiset and transversely curved inter mediate portions to form the upper trays 18 above and parallel with the bottom tray 17. It is evident that the trays 17 and 18 may be readily employed for supporting pencils, pins, erasers and the like so that they may be readily obtained by the typist, when desired.
In order that the attachment may be readily applied to or removed from the typewriter 9, a plurality of attachino straps 19 are mounted on the rear face of t e rear plate 5 with their up er ends turned upon themselves to form t e typewriter engaging hooks 20 which may be readily engaged over and clamped on the forward bar 21 of the typewriter 9 or any other suitable portion thereof, as desired. WVhen properly attached to the typewriter 9 by means of the hooks 20, the complete attachment will be supported in proper position with the bottom tray 17 resting on the table or other support on which the typewriter 9 is mounted. The attaching straps 10 have their lower ends extended around the lower edge of the rear plate 5 to form the forward and upwardly curved article supporting fingers 22 within the rear pockets 7, so as to receive and support the paper of pins 8 or other articles placed in the pocket 7 and directthe lower edges of such articles toward the rear plate 5, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. It is to be understood that the attaching straps 19 may be produced in blank form with the straps 10 when manufacturing the device, if desired.
It is believed the complete construction and operation or use of theattachment may now be apparent from the foregoing paragraphs taken in connection with the accompanying drawings without further detail description. It may be stated, however, that different articles may be placed in the various pockets and trays of the attachment and the complete attachment readily placed on or removed from the front, the side and rear of the machine or any appropriate part thereof, so that the articles may be readily obtained by the operator, when desired, or replaced in the attachment when not required for use. I
lVhile the preferred embodiment of the invention has beendisclosed, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrange- 'ment of co-operating elements may be resorted to within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Vhat I claim as new is: p 1
l. A typewriter attachment including spaced plates forming pocket walls; a tray member carried by one of said pocket walls; bottom strap members connecting said plates and forming the bottom members of one of the pockets; and attaching members carried vby one of said plates and having portions extended for engagement with a typewriter and other portions extended for supporting I .for the attachment; a cushion member mounted on the last mentioned plate and held between the tray forming plate and the 1 connecting members for the first mentioned plates; and attaching members carried by one of the first mentioned plates and having portions for detachable engagement with the stationary part of the typewriter while other portions of said attaching members extend into the pocket formed between the first mentioned plates to support articles in said pocket.
3. A typewriter attachment including spaced plates forming a pocket there-between; U-shaped connecting members for said plates; said U-shaped connecting members serving as bottom members for the pocket provided between said plates; a cushion member resting on one of said plates outwardly of the U-shaped connecting members a tray plate mounted on the last mentioned plate and having portions extended to form trays extended from the outer face thereof; said cushion member being positioned between said U-shaped members and said tray plate; a strap extended between said U-shaped members within the first mentioned pocket; said cushion member being attached to the last mentioned strap; and attaching members carried by one of the first mentioned plates; said attaching members having extended portions for detachable engagement with a typewriter part while the lowermost tray of the tray plate rests on the surface of the member supporting the typewriter; said attaching members having ,oppositely extended portions projecting on an incline into the said pocket to support articles positioned in said pocket and direct the articles toward one wall of the pocket.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signa ture.
REGINALD S. OO'YSH.
