ORNEY Patented Sept. 1, 1931 UNITED STATES" PATENT OFFIC CARL w. BRENN, OF MONTGLAIR, NEW- JERSEY, 'ASSIGNOB 'IO 'A'I JTOGRAPHIC REGISTER comrm, or HOBOKEN,
NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY IANIFOLDING Application filed April s,
fer strips for use in typewriting machines I and the, like.
-Heretofore it was proposed to control the feeding of such apile of manifoldin strips in a typewriter by pin-wheels, and or this purpose the record strips were provided with rows of holes at their lateral edges for engagement by the pin-wheels which maintain the record strips in registration with each other and in alignment and in coordination with the feeding mechanism of the ma chine.
' It was also proposed to reduce the number of papers engaging the pin-wheels by making the carbon strlps narrow enough to lie entirely within the space between the pins on pin-wheels which are located at opposite ends of the platen, and with this arrangement it has been found advanta eous to secure all the record and carbon strips together to travel through the typewriter or other machine as a unit.
An ob'ect of this invention is to provide for positively feeding both the carbon strips and the record strips by the feeding device of the typewriter or the like, and yet avoid the need of providing feeding bands on both edges of both the record strips andthe transfer strips.
To this end, according to the present invention, the record strips and transfer strips are respectively off-set from each other laterally to provide feeding bands extending beyond the adjacent edges of the others and these feeding bands preferably are provided with a succession of pin-engaging apertures, the strips being secured together in this offset relation by staples or other securing means passing through the superposed strips. I
Besides savin material and work by ob-' viating the need" for a feeding band at both sides of each set of strips, an important advanta e resulting from this arrangement is that t e projecting portions of the respective strips constitute finger-grips by means of which the carbon sheets and record sheets main body 1931. Serial No. 528,528.
may be separately gripped and pulled apart to strip the one from the other after the strips ave been severed along transversely extending registering lines of severance. Moreover, with this arrangement, one edge of the record strips is not mutilated and the other edge having the pin-engaging apertures may be used as a binding edge when it is desire to bind the record sheets in a book.
In the preferred form of the invention,
each record strip, or at least the upper or original one, may be provided with longitudinally extending lines of Weakness between the apertured feedin band and the of the strip afimg which the strip may torn to remove the feed-ing band therefrom if and when desired. 7
Also, the strips, especially the uppermost or original record strip, preferably has its unapertured lateral edge which is adjacent the apertured feeding band of the underlying strip located in close proximity'to the pin-engaging apertures so that the strips, or, as stated, especially the upper record strip, will be held to the under-lying strips by a (part of the feeding mechanism which strad les the pins projecting through the pin-wheel apertures.
Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate one form of this invention, that at present preferred- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a manifolding pack made in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a pile of strips corresponding to that shown in Fig. 1, and showing one set severed from the rest.
Fig. 3 is a perspective View showing the transfer sheets in a severed set being stripped from the record sheets.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the operating side of a transfer sheet forming part of one of the strips shown in Figs. 1 and 2. showing how the feeding band thereon is-left uncoated with transfer material.
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic View showing a fragment of a typewriter platen with the feeding pin thereon, and the means which fat.
straddles the pins engaging the margins of the uppermost record strip to hold it close to the underlyin transfer strip.
As shown in t e accompanying drawings, the pile of manifoldin strips may comprise record strips 10 wit interleaved carbon strips 11 which are continuous in form and which are placed one above the other in superposed relation. For convenience, in shipping and handling, this pile of strips may be zig-zag folded to form a pad or block 12 as shown in Fig. 1, from which the leading end may be lifted to be inserted in a typewriting machine or the like. v
The zig-zag folding of the pile of strips 10 and 11 is facilitated by transverse weakening lines 13, preferably perforations, in some or all of the strips and these further serve as lines of severence along which the pile of strips may be severed to form sets of interleaved record sheets 10a and carbon sheets 11a. 1
In cases where it was desired to use the pile of strips 10 and 11 in a telegraphic typewriter having pin-wheel feeding devices for keeping the pile in strict coordination with the platens of the sending and receiving machines, it was heretofore customary to provide the record strips 10 with lateral margins projecting beyond the adjacent edges of the carbon strips so as to constitute feeding bands having apertures for engaging pins 14 on the typewriter platen 15, see Fig. 5.
Instead of providing the record strips 10 with lateral margins-at both sides to form feeding bands, they are according to the present invention, provided at only one side with a feeding band 16 while the transfer strips 11 at the other lateral edge of the pile of strips is provided with feeding bands 17.
This is accomplished by off-setting the transfer strips 11 from the record strips 10 laterally and the strips are maintained in this lateral off-set relation by securin means such as staples 18 preferably locate on the lines of severance 13 so as to become inoperative to hold the strips together when the strips are severed alon said lines of severance 13 to form record's eets 10a and transfer sheets 11a, see Fig. 2. In this way, the amount of material needed to produce the pack is reduced byomitting and obviating the need for the feeding band at both sides of the record or transfer strips.
In addition tovthis, the provision of the feedin bands on the record strips and transfer strip respectively at opposite lateral edges of the pile permits the feeding bands to const1-" tute finger grips by means of which the record sheets 11a may be gripped with the fingers of one hand while the transfer sheets may be gripped with the fingers of the other hand so that upon drawing the hands apart the transfer and record sheets are stripped from each other as indicated in Fig. 3.
When'the manifolding pile of the present invention is to be employed, with the telegraphic typewriter or other machine having pin-wheel eeding devices, the feeding bands 19 extending in rows longitudinally-thereof.
These apertures substantially fit the feeding pins '14, see Fig. 5.
16 and 17 are each provided with apertures The feeding band 16 on the record strip a may be divided from the main body of the strlp by a longitudinally extending weakening ine 20, and this arrangement is especially advantageous when employed on the up erdesired, however, the feeding band 16 may be left on the record sheet and may be used to clamp the record sheet in a loose-leaf or other binder which ma if desired, have rings or ins for engaging t e holes 19 therein.
referably, the record strips 10 and transfer strips 11 are off-set laterally only suflicient to permit the pins 14 to pass through the holes 19 without engaging the adjacent edges 21 of the other set of stri s, so that a grooved roller 22 provided on t e machine with which the pile of strips is to be used may straddle the pins 15 and enga the edge 21 of the inwardl off-set stri s an hold the stripe, rom the typewriter the top against fal in away platen 15. This is especially true 0 or original record strip 10 and is not [of such great importance in accordance with under stri s, for, if the .top stri is hel against fa ling away from the plii t others will be held in place by the top stripi'ii" While the record strips 10 and transfer.
for economy sake the transfer strips may be made narrower than the'record strips so as to only underlie the printed portions of" the record strips and thus may have their un pertured edges 23 fall short of the lines of weakness 20 in the record strips, as indi cated in Fig. 2.
As shown in may 'be only partially covered with transfer material, approximating that area nor- Fig. 4, the transfer sheets 11a mally typed upon in the record sheet 10a,
to thus provide a clean finger grip area for. the operator when stripping the transfer sheets from the record sheets. 7
No claim is made in thisvap lication to a. pile of continuous strips wit interleaved carbon strips fastened together with staples or other fastening means located through the strips on the line of perforations, for this sub ect matter is disclosed and claimed in my co ending application Serial No. 221,912 filed eptember 26, 1927.
The feature of having the edges of the carbon strips inwardly removed from the adjacent edges of the record strips, and of having the edges of the carbon strips tangential to the pin-wheel apertures is disclosed and claimed in my co ending application Ser. No. 401,897 filed 801:. 23, 1929, which is a i division of my application Ser. No. 335,402
