Application August 13, 1932. Serial No. 628,738
2 Claims.
This invention relates to adjustable guides for the paper plate of a typewriter and the general object is to provide means whereby a pair of guides can be adjusted simultaneously by a movement of either guide.
Another object of the invention is to provide a scale to facilitate the adjustment of the guide.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure l is a front view of the paper plate showing the invention thereon.
Figure 2 is a rear view thereof.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a blank from which one of the bracket members is formed.
Figure 5 is a view of the bracket member after the blank has been formed.
Figure 6 is an edge view of the bracket member.
In these drawings the paper plate or platform of a typewriter is shown at A and the guide supporting rod is shown at B. In carrying out my invention I find a pair of guides C each of which is provided with a hook shaped upper part 1 terminating in rear of the plate in a ring or eye 2 through which the rod B passes. A bracket member D is associated with each guide and is preferably formed of a T- shaped blank 3 having the holes 4 in its stem part and the large hole 5 adjacent each end of its head part with a small projection 6 extending into each hole 5. This blank is bent as shown in Figures 5 and 6 so that the end portions of the head part are bent parallel to each other and at right angles to the middle portion of the head 5 and this head part is so bent to form the space for receiving the eye 2 of each guide. The projections 6 engage the usual groove 7 in the rod B for preventing rotary movement of the bracket members. A pair of pulleys 8 are rotatably connected to the under side of the plate A as shown in Figure 2 and a flexible member or cable 9 passes over the pulley and has its end connected to the turn buckle 10. One of the bracket members is connected to the upper reach of the cable by a screw 11 and the other bracket member is connected to the lower reach by a similar screw 12. These screws engage one of the holes 4 and by providing two holes in each bracket member they can be formed by the same punch or press and need not be made left hand and right hand.
Thus it will be seen that when one of the guides is adjusted in either direction the other guide will be similarly adjusted in an opposite direction. Thus when the guides are to be adjusted it is simply necessary to grasp one guide and move it in the desired direction and as this guide is being moved, the other guide is moved in an opposite direction by the endless member 9.
A scale strip 13 is fastened at the front of the plate for facilitating adjustment of the guide and the graduations on this plate can be arranged to suit the type of the typewriter on which the device is used.
If desired the bracket members may be made in one part with the paper guides.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
1. In combination with the paper plate or platform of a typewriter and its guide supporting bar, a pair of guides extending over the front of the plate and having parts slidably arranged on the bar and means for adjusting one guide simultaneously as the other guide is being adjusted, said means comprising an endless member, pulleys for supporting the endless member, means for connecting one guide to the upper reach of said endless member and means for connecting the other guide to the lower reach thereof.
2. In combination with the paper plate or platform of a typewriter and its guide supporting bar, a pair of guides extending over the front of the plate and having parts slidably arranged on the bar and means for adjusting one guide simultaneouly as the other guide is being adjusted, said means comprising an endless member, pulleys for supporting the endless member, means for connecting one guide to the upper reach of said endless member and means for connecting the other guide to the lower reach thereof, and a graduated strip on the front face of the plate and located under the guide for facilitating. adjustment thereof.
