COPYHOLDER Filed Oct. 26, 1929 Patented Feb. 28, 1933 UNITED STATES FLOYD J. KAVANAUGH, or eALvEsroN, TEXAS oorYHoLnEn Application med october 2s, 1929. seriaiNo.- 402.6154. f 5 ff. Y
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a copy holder.
One object of the invention is to provide a copy holder whereby matter to be copied by a typewriter may be held in convenient position in front of the operator and embodies an adjustable line finder having novel means for holding the same against the work being copied.
Another object of thev invention is to provide a copy holder of the character described that is suitable for holding sheets of different widths. A further feature of the invention resides inthe provision of a copy holder that may be readily maintained in the de'-V sired position by means of the typewriting machine itself and which will not require screws or other fastening means.
A still further feature of the invention resides in the provision ofa copyholder of the character described that is of very simply construction and has few movable parts to get out of order and which may be easily operated by the operator of the machine.
With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and il- 3 lustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 shows a front elevation of the complete device.
Figure 2 shows a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a horizontal cross sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 shows an enlarged fragmentary cross sectional view taken on theline 4.-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 shows an enlarged fragmentary cross sectional view taken on the line 5 5 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 shows an elevational view of a supplemental attachment bar employed, and
Figure 7 shows an elevation of a line finder extension employed.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures be adjusted to any selected the numeral 1 designates theverticalcopya board, composed ofanyi sui-table ymateria-1"; and referablyrectangular `in form. At= p ltache'l to the. bottom' of said'board is the for- I wardly extending platform 2 which :is fur.- 55 ther connected to the board by means of side1 angle'braces 3, 8; The typewriter4v machine may rest on the platform 2 to yhold the copy holder in position. At the .top of the copy board arevsuit'ableremovableclamps 4,4 of 60W any desireddesign andwhichare provided for clamping theupper edges of the sheets to'A the copy board. A lsupplemental bar 5" may bebolted to the upper end of the copyboard f and extend Iout ylaterally beyondfsaid board C to provide for paper of extraordinary width.
At one side ofthe copy board there are the upper and lower bearings 5, 5 in which there is mounted the rod 6 which is secured in place bythe upper and lower nuts 7, 7. This 7053 rod has a lengthwise groove 8 extending from the upper to the lower end thereof. Slidable on the rod there is a bearing 9 which has the inside felt packing ring 10 designed to receive and retain a lubricant for the 755 f bearing. Attached to the bearing 9 there is the line finder 11 whichl extends out trans-` versely on the front side of the copy board 1.
There is a spring. dog 12, one end of which is fastened within the bearing 9 and whose 80W other end is curved to fit within the groove 8 and this dog serves to hold the line finder 11 at any selected position on the rod 6 and yieldingly against the board 1. If the copy work held in the holder is of considerable 95 thickness, the line finder 11 may be moved outwardly from the board to give the required space for the copy work but it will be held yieldingly against the copy by the dog 12, but said line finder maybe swung outwardly by the grip 15, a sufficient distance toy cause the curved end of the dog 12 to ride out of said groove and the line finder 11 may then position where it 'will be held by said dog.
When the bar 5 is used for wide sheets of copy work, a supplemental finder extension. 13 may be bolted to the line finderl 11, said supplemental extension being of sufficient length to extend out the required distance. 1005 Around the rod 6 and supported on the bottom bearing there is a yieldable bumper 14 against Which the bearing 9 Will strike when the finder 1l reaches its lowerlnost p0- 5 sition.
The drawing and description disclose What is now considered a preferred form of the invention by Way of illustration only Whilethe broad principle of the invention. Will be defined bythe appended claim.
What I Claim is vIn a Copy holder having a rod for supporting a line inder bearing, sad'rod having a longitudinal groove; a bearing slidable on 15 said rod, aline finder attached to the bearing', an outwardly extending grip on said bearing7 saidbearing being also turnable on the rod, a spring dog housedy Within they @bearing and having a free portion Which "'normall'y runs in said. groove and Which isy shaped to ride out of said groove, upon the turning of. the bearing, and to thereupon grip said rod to retain said bearing in a selected position on the rod, and a bushing in 2-51the bearing above said dog and closely surrounding the rod, said bushing being formed' to retain a lubricant for lubricating the rod.'l
ln testimony whereof; l have signed my Y name` to this specification.
