mechanism shown in Fig. 7; Fig. 9 is a section taken through the guide showing one positionof the webwith relationthereto and Fig. 10 issa similar; view showing another position of the web with relation to the guide. In these drawings Iliave illustrated two embodiments of my invention but it will be understood that these particular embodiments have been chosenfor the purposes of illustration and the mechanism may take various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. Q 1 r In both forms here illustrated theiregister' comprises a supporting structure or housing 10 having neans for supporting therein a web of paper or the like folded into sections of form length, as shown at 11; Greasesare fOI'lllGflpbGt-VGEH adjacent sections of theweb by weakening the web along transverse linesin a well known manner,as by scoringlthe same or by a line of small: perforations, which will permit each section to fold in either direction with relation to an adjacent sectiona- The top wall 12 of the housing is provided with a writing opening beneath which is arranged a writing table 13, Arranged beyond the writing table a feeding mechanism which preferably com- 7 prisesa lower -feeding roller 1 1 mountedon a fixediaxiswithin the housing and an upper fcedingroller 15 yieldably supported above the roller 1 -1 so thatjitmay be moved into and out of operative engagement with a web resting upon the lower roller. 1 The roll ers are provided at each end thereof with cylindrical portions 16, preferably of re-. duced' diameter and adapted to receive be tween them tapered members 17 by mean s of which the upper roller may be elevated to release the web. Arranged beyond the feeding rollers ismeans for severing the discharged portions or forms of the Web, 1
which is here shown as a cutting edge 18. l
i The web is carried ttrom the stack offorms orpad, as shown inyFigaQQabout a guide, here shown as a roller-19;which is' arranged near the rear end of the register just below the top wall thereof. :Pieferably asuppcrting roller isarrangedbelow andiorward ly of the guide roller 19 to support the web in substantially horizontal position below the guide roller. The web is carried forwardly from the guide roller above the writing table 13 to the feed rollers. These rollers may be actuated in any suitable manner. As here shown, they are connected one to the other for rotation in unison by means of a gear 21' on the roller 15 and a gear 22 on the roller 14. The gear 22 meshes with a large gear 23 rotatably mounted on a stud shaft 24 journaled in the side wall of the housing. Rigidly secured to the outer end of this stud shaft is an operating handle 25 and rigidly secured to the stud 24 within the housing is a pawl carrier 26, here shown as a segmental plate, on which is supported a spring actuated pawl 27 which engages with a ratchet wheel 28 loosely mounted on the stud and rigidly connected with the gear 23. The operating handle is supported in its normal position by a stop 29 and is moved rearwardly to impart movement to the feeding rollers through the pawl and ratchet mechanism. The gear ratio is preferably such that a single movement of the operating handle will advance the web a distance equal to the length of the longest form which the machine is capable of handling.
\Vhen the web has been advanced the desired distance it is released from the feeding mechanism, accurately positioned with relation to the edge 18 and then again engaged by the feeding mechanism which then serves to clamp the same against movement. These operations may be effected in various ways but, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the tapered member 17, which serve to separate the feeding rollers and release the web, are tapered rearwardly and they are connected at their rear ends by a transverse bar or plate 30 to one end of which is secured a bar 31 which is slidably mounted in guides 32 on'the adjacent side wall of the housing to hold the bar 30 against twisting movement and to cause the tapered members to move in unison. The tapered members are normally supported in a re tracted position in which they will not interfere with the operative engagement of the upper roller with the web. Connected with the plate 30 is a rearwardly extending arm 33 which is pivotally connected at its rear end with an arm 34 rotatably mounted on the stud shaft 24. The arm 34 is normally stationary but means are provided forimparting rearward movement thereto when the web hasbeen advanced the desired d1stance,thereby releasing the web from the feeding members. For this purpose I have provided the pawl carrying plate 26 with a stop, such as a pin 36, arranged to engage the edge of the arm 34 and cause the same to move with the shaftaudthus draw the tapered members between the rollers. The movement imparted to the web by the feeding mechanism preferably advances the same a distance slightly in excess of that required to properly position the form with relation to the severing edge 18. The guide roller 19 is spaced from the cutting edge such a distance that a crease be tween adjacent web sections will be in contact with the guide roller at the time that the web is released by the feeding members and the web will tend to move or spring rearwardly, due to the resiliency of the paper and the position of the crease withrelation to the guide roller, as shown in Fig. 6. It will be noted that the roller 20 supports the lower portion of the web substantially parallel with the upper portion thereof, thus causing the web to bend sharply about the guide 19 and placing the'same under such tension that the resiliency of the web will cause the creased portion thereof to spring rearwardly. This rearward movement is checked by a suitable stop, such as a plate 37 arranged in the rear of the guide roller. This step plate is spaced from the cutting edge a distance'exactly equal to'the length of one form or of a plurality of shorter forms and when a crease in the web is in engagement wi'l h the stop plate a preceding crease will be properly positioned with relation to the severing edge 18. This positioning of the web takes place instantly upon the releasing of the webs from the feeding members and upon the return of the actuating handle to its normal or initial position a stop or pin 38 on the pawl arm 26 will engage the rear edge of the arm 34 and move the tapered members forwardly so as to permit the upper roller to again engage the web and thus clamp the same against movement. The rearward movement which is imparted to the creased portion of the web as it passes about the guide serves to maintain the plurality of webs with their forms in alinement, this being due to the forcing of the crease in each lower web into the crease in an upper web. The distance which the web is advanced upon each operation of the feeding mechanism may be varied by adjusting the stop 36 with relation to the plate 26, the latter being provided with a'series of holes 39 in any one of which the stop 36 may be inserted. Means are preferably provided whereby the rollers 19 and 20 and the stop plate 37 may be adjusted with relation to the supportingstructure or housing to correspond to the adjusted position of the stop 36 and for this purpose the housing is provided with a plurality of bearing openings 40 and slots 41 to support the rollers and plate in adjusted positions.
In Figs. 7 and 8 I have illustrated a modifiedform of the register in which the releasing of the web by the feeding members is controlled the crease in the web. As here shown, the feeding rollers and their operating mechanism are similar to those above described but the tapered members'42. which separate the feeding rollers, are tapered for V wa-rdly and the plate 43 to which those tapbers into operative engagement with said rollers when a predetermined movement has been imparted to said operating handle and the other of said stops will engage said arm and retract said tapered members when said operating handle is moved in the other direction, a guide for said web so arranged that a crease between adjacent sections of said web will be in engagement therewith when said rollers are separated, thereby permitting said web to move rearwardly, and means for limiting the rearward movement of said web.
