TYPEXVRITEE ATTACHMENT.
Application filed December 27, 1926. Serial No. 157,349.
This invention relates to typewriters and more paiticularlyv to a novel attachment therefor.
The primary object of the present nven; tion to provide novel means for association with anin'diiniry type of typewriting machine for normally hiding from, view of the operator of the machine, the type bars of the machine. 1
in the constant use of typewriters the movement of the type bars have an injurious el'iect upon the eyes of the operator of the machine, probably caused by the continuous and rapid movement before the eyes of the operator. Y
It is therefore another prime object of the invention to provide means for hiding the type bars from view and at the same time permit the means to be moved to such a position, whereby the ribbon can be readily changed when necessary or desirable.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel attachn'ient for typewriters en'lbodyinga supporting plate for connection with the front frame plate of the type writer directlv above the keyboard and a shield pivotally connected with the plate adapted to be normally positioned in front of the type bars with means carried for detachable connection with the upper bar of the typi-iwriter, whereby the shield can be moved into and out of operative position for facilitating cleaning of the type bars.
A. still further object of this invention is to provide a sight. shield attachment for. typewriters of the above character, which will be durable and efiicient in use, one that will be simple and easy to manufacture and one which can be placed upon the market and incorporated with a conventional typewriter at a small cost.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a typewriter showing the improved attachment incorporated therewith,
i igure 2 is a longitudinal side elevation of the typewriter sl'iowing the improved attachment incorporated therewith, parts of the typewriter being shown in section to illrretrate the detachable connection of the sight shield with the upper cross bar thereof,
Figure l. is a detail section taken on the line 51 1 of Figure 3, and
l ie'ure 5 is a view similar to Figure 3.
showing the front of the improved attachstance illustrates the use of the improved device. The typewriter as shown includes the usual front frame plate 10, board 11, and the upper front cross bar 12.
The improved attachment B can be constructed from any desired material, such as cardboard, light metal or the like and coinprises an attaching strip 15 which extends t ansversely of the front frame plate directly above and in rear of the board 11. This strip can bersecured to the frame plate 10 in any desired way, such as by the use of screws 16 which may be part of the assembly screws of the typewriter. Hingedlyconnected to the strip 15 by any desired means, such as by flexible strips 16 is the eye shield plate 17 which extends up from the key board to the top of the typewriter. This shield plate is shaped to conform to the conventional configuration of the typewriter and is cut so as to admit standard parts thereon.
The shield B is held in a raised position in front of the type bars, not shown, in any preferred way, such as by the use of a spring clip 18 en'lbodying resilient arms 19 for engaging the cross upper bar 12 of the type writer. As shown this resilient clip or fastener extents through the shield 17 and is provided with a knob 20 which constitutes a handle.
Normally the shield is in a raised position as shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings and thus it is evident that the movement of the type bars is hidden by the shield and thus the operator of the machine will be caused no discomfort thereby. When it is desired to clean the typewriter, it is merely necessary to swing the shield 17 to a lowered horizontal position as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2, and it is thus evident that all dirt can be readily removed from the typewriter.
Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention, but:
\Vhat I claim is:
1. The combination with a typewriter including a front frame plate and a cross bar, an attachment therefor comprising a supporting strip secured to the front frame plate above the keyboard of the typewriter an opaque. shield hingedly connected to the bar and means carried by the shield adapted to detachably engage the crorss bar for normally holding the shield in raised position in front of the type bars.
2. The combination with a tvpewriter including a front frame plate, a keyboard and a top cross bar, of an attachment for the typewriter comprising a supporting strip, means securing the supporting strip to the front frame plate above the board, an opaque shield hingedl connected to the upper edge of the supporting strip, and a resilient clip carried by the upper edge of the opaque shield for detachably engaging the cross bar. 3. The combination with a conventional typewriter, an attachn'ient therefor comprising a shield disposed in front of the typewriter in a vertical plane to hide the type bars from view of the operator, means normally holding the shield in a raiwed operative vertical position, and a hinged connection for permitting the moving of the shield to an inoperativp horizontal poilion for allowing the cleaning of the type lHll'r.
In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
JOHN V. A. EIMESS.
