TYPE'WRITING MACHINE.

Application led March 2, 1923. Serial No. 622,285.

To all whom .it may concern: against rotation, so that, as in the lVernery Be it' known that I, JOHN WALDHEIM, a and Smith patent, the grip of the platen on citizen of the United States, residing in theinterleaved portion of the carbon-sheet Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State will result in forward movement of the carof New Jersey, have invented certain new bon-carrier when the platen has line-space 60 and useful Improvements in Typewriting movement, andl so that rearward throw of Machines, of which the following isa specithe carbon-carrier will shift the interleaved fication. f portion of the carbon-sheet rearward along The invention relates to typewriting mathe web-plies.

The roll may` then. be locked or of the carbon-carrier-supportmg strucf1l ture, for accomodation of the rolls, and as not to require passage of the webqplies between the carbon-rolls.

In the invention, as embodied in the structure hereinafter described, the web-plies are fed laterally over the supporting structure, forward of the runway thereon for the carbon-carrier, from containers disposed at the sides of the supporting structure; and the carbon-rolls are set transversely of the car.- bon-carrier within substantially the same space occupied by the carbon-holding blades of the aforesaid Wernery and Smith structure.

An object of the invention is the provision of means for guiding the web-plies crosswise of the supporting structure or rearward extension of the platen-carriage, from either or both sides thereof, forward of the carbon-carrier, and for then turning the webs in the directionl of the platen, in superposed relation to each other, and interleaved With the carbon-sheets.

In this connection, the invention preferably involves a system of web-turning and spacing `bars set diagonally over the supporting structure; the bars for handling the webs from one side of the supporting structure being set crosswise and alternated with respect to the bars for handling the webs from the other side of the supporting structure.

A feature of the invention is a frame on which the work-web-holders, in the form of spools, magazines or other suitable contain'- ers, may be` removably mounted; which frame may, itself, be removably attachable to the support for the rearward extension of the platen-carriage, below the platform of such support, with the web-holders arranged at either or both sides thereof.

A feature of the invention isa simple and novel device, reliable in action, for locking and unlocking the carbon-roll or rolls, and, where there is a plurality of such rolls, for

. simultaneously locking and unlocking all of carriage, a rearwar them.

Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.

Figure 7 is a View, in front elevation, showing the carbon-carrier rolls and the locking mechanism therefor on the carboncarrier mechanism.

The platen 10, by means of its axle 11, is journaled in side plates 12 of a platenframe, pivoted at 13 on the side plates 14 of the platen-carriage, to swing up and down between its operative position and a carbon-releasing position. The side plates 12 of the` platen-frame have rearward extensions 15, which, when the platen is in operative position, rest upon a shaft or cross-tie 16 connecting the side plates 11 of the carriage.' The shaft 16, therefore, supports and determines the operative position of the swinging platen-frame. It furthermore, a rock-shaft which carries hooks 17 for locking the shiftable platenframe in operative position. Coil springs 18 tendvto rock the shaft 16 in such direction as to throw the hooks 17 over pins 19 95 on the side plates 12 of the swinging frame, and automatically to lock the swinging frame, as the latter comes to rest upon the shaft 16.

An extension 20 on the left-hand hook 100 17 serves as a finger-piece, whereby to rock the hooks and 4sha-ft 16 backward to unlock the frame -12 when the latter is to be lifted to carbon-releasing position. The frame 12 carries a knife 21 for severing the typewrit- 105 ten leading form sections .of the web plies; after the carbons have been withdrawn therefrom. The 'frame 12 also carries a table 22 over which the leading form sections of the web are fed; and the table 22 110 usual front and rear pressure rolls 26 and 120 27, respectively. Brackets l28 on the side plates 14 of the carriage support a rod 2S) to which are adjustably secured guidepieces 30 for the side margins of the webs. The webs are led from thelcarbon-carrier,

between the side gages 30, over and around the shaft16 down tothe platen, as shown in Figure 2. The platen-carriage is supported for movement in letter feed and return directions on a rail 31 on the main frame 32 1 of the machine. The machine in its entirety is supported on a supportingy stand 33.l

The carbon-carrier supporting structure is a substantially rectangular frame, the front cross-piece 34 of which is fixed to and supported by brackets 35 on a bar 36, which forms part of the platen-carriage and connects the side plates of the latter. Depending froml the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carrier supporting struct-ure are brackets 38 on which are journaled rollers 39, by means of which the carbon-carrier supportingstructure is carried at its rear on a rail 40 for movement with the platencarriage in letter. feed and return directions. The rail 40 is carried by standards 41, preferablyconnected to the main frame of the typewriting machine, and, like the latter, supported on the top of the typewritersupporting stand 33.

Rails 42, extending lengthwise of the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carrier .supporting structure, provide a runway on which the carbon-carrier is movable, with the carbone, forward step by step as the platen has its line-space movements, and on which the carbon-carrier may be `thrown rearward a predetermined distance to withdraw the carbons from the leading -form sections of the web after typing on such sections has been completed and the platen-frame thrown to car on-releasing position. The carbon-carrier comprises a plate 43, see Figures 1, 2 and 7, yhaving journaled on the under sidethereof rollers 44. which are grooved to receive the rails 42 and guide the carrier therealong. An arm 45 secured by screws 46 to the left-hand side of the carrier-plate 43 extends forward and terminates in a nger-piece 47 by means ofwhich the operator may throw back the carrier to shift the carbons along theweb. Thus far the structure described is not substantially different from that shown in United States Letters Patent to Wernery and Smith, No.

` 1,132,055, dated March 16, 1915, to which reference may be made for a fuller, ormore detailed. understanding of the operations above mentioned.

The carbon-carrier of the present invention comprises

standards

48 and 49 secured by screws 50 to the top of the carrier-plate 43. .The carbons, in the form lof endless Sheets 51", 51b and 51, are contained in magazines or wound on k,spools 52 having axles 53 journaled, one horizontally ahead of the other, in the

standards

48 and 49. The bearings for the axles 53 in the standard 48 may be mere holes 54 into which one end of the axles are inserted.` `In the standard 49,' slots 55, extending in from lthe periphery thereof, are provided to receive the other end of the axles 53 after the first end thereof has been positioned in the standard 48. Hooks 56 pivoted on the standard 49l are adapted hold the axles and rolls in place. As shown in Figure 2, the carbon-sheets are preferably led off the under faces of the rolls, and an idler 57, journaled in arms 58 at the forward ends of the

standards

48 and 49, may be employed to guide one or more of the carbon sheets from the level of the lower faces of the'rolls to the levels at which the carbonsheets are fed forward to the platen-frame.

It will` be understood that at the linefeed movements of the platen, the carbonsheets are not unwound from the rolls. The line-feedmovement of the platen. as hercinafter explained, results in the advance of the carbon-carrier along its supporting runway. A sufficient length of carbon-sheet having been drawn from its roll, the rollcarrying means is locked against rotary movement. It is only when the length of carbon-sheetin use has become worn, that the roll isreleased to rotation to draw off a fresh len h therefrom. For holding the rolls norma ly locked against rotation, each roll has fixed to one end of its axle, shown in the drawings as its right-handvend, agistar wheel 59. The teeth of all of thejfsftar wheels are arranged to be enga-ged and: lockedby teeth 60 on a bar 61, carried' on arms v62, pivoted at 63 to standards 64 secured by screws 65 to the carrier-plate 43. The arms 62 may be swung upward on the axis 63 with the bar 61 to lock the axles and carbonrolls against rotation, and may be swung down to release the axles and rolls when desired. Y

. For thus swinging the lock-bar up and down, an eccentric 66 is provided. This eccentric is carried by an arm 67 pivoted at 68to a standard 69, see Figure 7, also secured tothe carrier-plate 43. The eccen, p

tric 66 is set into a yoke or bifurcation formed, in part, bythe lock-bar carryingortion of'one of the arms 62 and, in part, y a prong or branch arm 70 therefrom. The normal or roll-locking position of the v eccentric arm 67 is determined by contact of a finger 71 thereon with the upper surface of the carrier-plate 43,'a`s shown in Figure 7. When, however, by means of a finger-piece 72 on the end of the eccentric arm` the latter is lifted, the eccentric, by turning down upon the branch 70 of the yoke, presses. the lockbar away from the rolls.' When the fingerpiece 72 is moved in the opposite direction,

- the eccentric,- by pressing up upon the upper rearward of the typewriting machine, and forward of the runway 42 for the carboncarrier. In the drawings (see Figure 5),

there are two web-rolls at each side of the stand. It will be understood that the web from each roll is to constitute one ply of a multiple web, between the plies of which the carbons from the carbon-.supply-rolls 52 are fed to the platen. The plies 7 6, 7 6b, 7 6c and 76d from the rolls 75 are, therefore, led into superposed position, as presently to be described.' The spools 77, which carry the rolls 75, are journaled in brackets 78 on aV bracket 78; after which a hook 82, pivoted to the corresponding bracket at 83, is swungA down over the rear end of the spool-axle, to retain the s ool in its bearings.

The holder or the work-web supply-rolls comprises

uprights

84 and 85, at opposite sides of the stand or support 33; to which uprights the brackets 78 are secured. The front and rear uprights, at each side of the holder, are braced and connected by tierods 87. At the front and rear ends of the tie-rods 87 are lugs 88, offset laterally, and slotted at 89, to be set onto rods 90, which form art of the stand 33, and which connect the rear legs 91 of the stand with the front legs thereof (not shown). The upper ends of the

u rights

84 and 85 are secured by screws 92, t readed into bosses 93, formed on the edges of the top 94 of the stand 33. When, therefore, the screws 92 are loosened, and the work-web roll-holder lifted to clear the lugs 88 of the rods 90, the roll-holder with the rolls may, as a unit, be tilted and withdrawn laterally, in either direction, from the supporting stand.

The webs, at either side of the stand, are led upward from the roll 75, over an idler 95, journaled in brackets 96, secured to the

u rights

84 and 85 of the roll-holder. Tience the webs are led upward and over idlers 97 on the sides of an assembling or gathering device, which interleaves the carbons with -the work-webs and guides them so assembled to the platen (see Figures 5, 6 and 1). The idlers 97, one at each side of the gathering device, are journaled in brackets 98, secured by screws 99 to the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. As the carbon-carrier'-supporting structure is connected to the platen-carriage, to have movement therewith, in letter-feed and return directions, on the rail 40, it and the gathering device mounted thereon andv line position of Figure 5.

traveling with it will in one extreme position of the platen assume the full-line position of Fi ure 5, and in the other extreme position of the platen assume the dotted- When in fullline, Figure 5 position, the web-plies at the left-hand side will be slack, and, when in dotted-line, Figure 5 position, the web-plies at the right-hand side will be slack. To control this slack, there are, journaled on `the brackets 96 of the roll-holder 79, idlers 100 opposed to the idlers 95. The webs are led from the rolls between the

idlers

95 and 100. The idlers 95 are pressed against the idlers 100 by means of leaf-springs 101, the ends of which are set in between ears 102 on the front and rear brackets 96 and the extended axles 103 of the idlers 95. The

axles 103 are set into horizontal slots 104 inthe brackets 96, so that the springs 101 may have the action indicated, and so that the

idlers

95 and 100 may be forced apart, to permit the webs to be easily threaded therebetween. When the platen-carriage and the assembling and gatherin device are sufliciently far to the right or le of center, on either sid/e, the web-plies on that side hang 1n a loop 105, supported by the correslponding idler 100.

fter leaving thev idlers 97 at the sides of the gathering device, the web-plies must be spread apart for interleavement therewith of the carbons from the carbon-rolls 52, and must be turned forward at right angles for passage to the platen. For this purpose, a series of obliquely-disposed turning bars 106, numberedI also, respectively, 106", 106", 106c and 1061, are provided. The bars 106a and 106, which turn and guide the web-plies 76a and 76, from the righthand side ofthe table, extend .obliquely from the forward left-hand side of the gathering device to the rear right-hand side thereof, and the turnin bars 106b and 1061, which turn and uide t e weblies 7 6b and 76d; from the le t-hand side o the gathering device, extend obli uely from the forward right-hand side o the athering device to the rear left-hand si e thereof, as shown in Figure 1. Each turning bar, at the rear end thereof, has a bayonet-jointslot 107, by means of which, asshown in Figures 1 and 6, it is set onto a pin 108, forming an upward extension of a post 109 on the corresponding side reach 37 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. The forward end of each turning bar is slotted at 1 10, axially thereof, to be set into grooves or restricted necks in a corresponding ost 111 on the corresponding side reach 3 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. The grooves in the post 111 are spaced apart the distances at which it is desired to hold the turning bars spacedfrom one another. With the turning bar loose, the work-web incasso i ply, therefore, is passed thereover, and then turned forwardly thereunder. The lowermost bar 106, with the web thereon, is set upon the shoulder formed by the pinextension 108 on the right-hand rear post 109, and the bar is moved laterally to cause the pin 108 to be received into the throat of the bayonet-joint-slot 107. The bar is then swung angularly, around the pin 108, until the slot 110 in the forward end thereof is in alignment with the axis of the forward left-hand post 111. The bar, being then level with the lowermost groove in this forward post, is given a translatory movement forward, to cause the post-111 to be received in the slot 110, and to cause the pin 108 to pass to the end of the axiallydirected portion of the bayonet-joint-slot at the rear of the bar. The next turning bar 1061 with the web-ply folded thereover, is then set upon the left-hand post 109 and right-hand post 111 in the same manner; the shoulder formed by the extension 108 on the left-hand post 109 being higher than the corresponding lshoulder on the right-handA -1 post 109, to effect the'proper spacing of the bar.y 1061 from the bar 1061. The bar 106C is then set on the left-hand post 111 and the right-hand post 109; a collar or washer 112being slipped over the pin 108 on the right-hand post 109, to maintain proper spacing of the bar 106c from the bar 1061. The bar 106d is then set on the lefthand post 109 and the right-hand post 111, with the spacing /collar or washer 112 on the left-hand `pin 108 to space the bar 106d from "the bar' 106C. When the bars are all in place and have been pulled forward as far as the bayonet-joint-slots 107 will allow, a thumb-nut 113, threaded on the upper end `of each pin 108, is tightened to clamp the bars against displacement.

It will be noted from4 the from Figure 6, that the web-plies 7 6a, 761, 76c and 76d, on leaving lthe idlers-97, are passed to die'rent elevations, so that the carbons may be received between the same. If the web-plies were led directly from the idlers 97 to the turning bars 106, they would l' pass to the latter at different angles, and

would, consequently, be made tovbear upon the carbon-sheets, which latter are all horizontally directed.` In so fouling the carbonsheets, thev forward feed movement of both the carbon-sheets and the work-webs and the rearward withdrawal of the carbonsheets to succeedin form-sections would be interfered with.. onsequently, instead of leading the web-plies directly fromV the idlers to the oblique turning bars, they are first led over guide-bars 114, each of which extends, horizontally, from rear to front, on the level vwith the turning bar for the web which it is to guide. For simplicity, each guide-bar 114, as shown lin Figure l, is

foregoing, and

formed as a'unit with the corresponding turning bar 106. The guide-bars 114 connect at their rear with the turning bars, and at their forward ends are free. The free ends of the guide-barsare supported in the following manner.- The lowermost guidebar 114, at its forward end (see Figures 1k and 6), rests upon the upper end of a stud 115, threaded into a lug 116 on the righthand side reach 37 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. The forward free end of the next higher guide-bar 114 rests `upon a stud 117 on and near the frontend of the turning bar 1061*. Studs 118 and 119 (see Figure 6), on and near the fi'ont ends of the turnin bars 1061J and 106, support the-forward ree ends of the two higher guidebars 114. To guide the carbons 51a, 5111 and 51, from the rear of the machine, in a similar way, there are provided guide-bars 1141a extending from the turning bars 4106, and resting on studs 1141 of the oppositelydisposed turning bars 106.

' Guides or gages 120 are provided for the side edges of the webs between the idlers 97 and the guide-bars 114. l These guides 120 are shown as fingers (see Figures l, 2 and 6), projecting'upward from sildes 121 on the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carriersupporting structure. Slides, instead of liXed brackets, are provided, in order that the guides 120 may be adjusted to accommodate webs of different widths. .Thumbscrews 122, passing through horizontal slots 123 in the slides, in part support the slides, and serve, when tightened, to hold the slides in adjusted position. Pins 124 on the side reaches 37 project into the slots 123, to prevent angular displacement of the slides and guide-fingers.

In interleaving the carbons with the workweb plies, and in adjusting the 4work-web plies and carbonspreliminary to typewriting, the lower work-web is threaded from its roll 75 or magazine, over its oblique turning bar 106, and the leading end thereof led forward of the turning bar in the manner hereinbefore described. The rearmost carbon-carrier-spool 52 being unlocked, the sheet therefrom 1s drawn forward over the leading end of the lowermost web. The web 7 61 is then superposedon thislowermost carbon-sheet, and the carbon from the centralcarbon-roll drawn forward thereover.. The work-web 7 6c is then positioned over the middle carbon, and the carbon from the forward roll 52 led thereover. After the upper work-web has been positioned over the upper carbon, and all the carbondraw the leading ends of the carbons slightlyv rearward of the leading ends of the workwebs, so that,"in subsequent operation, the

- printing surfaces, and the worn length of the carbons detached.

It will be noted, from the foregoing, that the position of the work-web supply-rolls is Such that the plies thereof do not pass over, around or between the carbon-supply rolls, and that, consequently, the latter may be of such size as not to require constant replacement. It will also be noted. that the arrangement and feed of the work-web-rolls and plies is such that the carbon-rolls may be set substantially horizontally and transversely, and at the same level on the carbon-7 carrier, within the lines delined -by the sides ofthe work-web in the forward movement of the latter to the platen. Thus, noglateral extension of the carbon-carrier, or of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure, is re- `flllired, such as would add to the weight t ere'of, and, consequently, throw such a' burden on the platen-carria e and carboncarriage-drive as to make t is drive sluggish or unreliable in action.

It will be further noted that .the carboncarrier and carbon-rolls are arranged substantially unitary with the typewriting machine. 'That is to say, they are mounted directly thereon, They are carried by and move with a moving element of the apparatus. They maintain a fixed relation of alignment to this carrying element of the appa- L ratus, to the Work-web, and the elements upon which the work-web is carried and by which it is controlled. This method `of mounting the carbon-rolls permits the car bon-sheets drawn therefrom to be led into interleavement with the work-webs in a di- .rect substantially straight line and in planesl substantially parallel to each other and to the planes of the work-webs, after the latter are directed toward the platen. For this reason, since, in the-typing orother operationof the machine, no turnin or other undesirable change of direction o travel of the Acarbon-sheets 1s necessary, the strain upon .these sheets and the risk that they will thereby become torn or displaced is reduced t0 a Consequently, the carbon turned.

sheets may be made of extremely thin and delicate texture, and thereby effect an added eiiiciency in the apparatus. It will be noted that in the present arrangement it is the work-web, and not the carbon-web, which is led laterally onto the assembling or gathering device, and there obliquely turned and directed over turning bars toward the platen. It is during this operation of directing the work-web' over the oblique turning bars, that the web, being turned, might become torn; and hence, sincethe work-web is usually of heavier and coarser texture than the carbon-web, the probability of its being torn in such an operation is muc less than if it were the carbon thus being It must be evident from the above that the arrangementA and relation of carbon to work-web provided in this apparatus is a distinct advance in the art, which embodies substantial advantages in this respect. Also, the interleavement of the carbon-web with-the work-web as accomplished in this apparatus reduces the possibility of improper registry of the work-webs and of any undesirable markin of the work-web by the carbon-web, which t(lieretofore, at times, resulted from the weaving action -of the carbon-web because .of its passage throu h the carbon-carrier from a source of supp y entirely outside of the machine. l

Variations may be. resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements maybe used without others.` Having thus described my invention, I

4claim said carriage havin la rearward extension,

stationary spools o work-web disposed at opposite sides of saidv rearward vextension and below the carriage, delivering workwebs upwardly and in opposite directions' to said extension, oblique devices crosswise /of each other onsaid extension for directing saidl work-Webs forwardly to said platen, and posts or supporting means for holding the oblique devices in operative relation on said extension, said oblique devices being recessed for removable attachment to said supporting posts.
