(oi. 197-27) This invention relates to a type-bar actuating by way of example in the accompanying drawings, means for typewriters, calculating machines and in which the like, in which the movement of all key bars Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through a typerocking about a common. axis is transmitted to .Writer furnished with type-bar actuating means.

In consequence the type bar 52 may be moved manually or also mechanically by the intermediate lever 13 without movement on the part of the key bars.
There engages with the intermediate lever I3 at IT a fork 18 possessing an extension bar 19 extending towards the rear end of the machine. On the fork 18 there is provided a hook 80, which is engaged by a spring 8|, the opposite end of which is anchored to a hooked rod 82. The hooked rod 82 is suspended with its free end in apertures 93 in a bar 84, which rests on rocking levers 85 and may be adjusted by means of the adjustment screw 86 for the purpose of regulating the tension of the springs 8|. The extension bar 19 possesses an eye 81, with which the same is guided on the hooked rod 82. At the rear end the extension bar 19 possesses a transverse arm or operating member 68, which is reinforced by being bent over at the upper end. This reinforced operating member v 88 may engage with the universal bar 89, shown in dotted lines, for the shift mechaniiisn 96 and the remaining universally driven par In addition to each intermediate lever-19 there is also provided a lever 9|, which is likewise able to rock about the shaft I4. The lever 9| is bent in hook-shaped fashion, and possesses a projection 92, by means of which it is able to rest against a depending arm 93 of the intermediate lever 13.
Between the arm 93 and the lever 9| there is provided a spring 94, which draws the lever 9| towards the arm 93. The lever 9| is furnished with a projection 95, which may be engaged by the mechanical drive, assuming that this should be provided.
The operation of the type bar actuating mechanism is illustrated in Figs. 1-3. Upon depression of a key bar 56 the rocker bar 64 is first rocked about the projection 61, and the arm 63 of the key bar engages with the long lever am, so that the end H of the short lever arm lifts the type bar 52, through the medium of rod 12, lever 13, the rod 15 and the short lever arm, with considerable force but with slow movement from the pad 55. When the key bar is in motion, the point 96 of the rocker bar 64 meets against the member 65, so that the point of oscillation of the rocker bar is displaced to the point 96. At this moment the two arms of the rocker bar are of approximately equal length. Since the curved portion 69 takes effect from the point 96, the ratio in the length of the lever arms continues to vary, upon additional depression of the key bar, in the manner just described, so that with approximately uniform rate of movement of the key the type bar 52 is accelerated more and more up to the time it strikes the platen, until it reaches the position according to Fig. 3. At the same time the spring 6| is tensioned, and the universal bar actuated by the extension bar 19. When the type bar 52 strikes the platen, the spring 8| returns the lever 13, and accordingly the type bar 52 and the rocker bar 64, into its original position; At
the sametime the key bar 55 is returned to its initial position by the spring 59 independently of the remaining parts.
v If the type bar, for example for cleaning purposes, is rocked by hand, the key bar remains in this connection the intermediate lever 13 performs the same movement as when the type bar 52 is moved by the key bar 56, it will be obvious that mechanical drive of the type bars' may be efiected by operation of the type bars by the actuating roller through the medium of corresponding intermediate members of the usual kind without any resulting reaction of the key bars. The key bars 56 may accordingly be employed for initiating mechanical operation of the type bars in any of the known ways.
If all rocker bars 64 were made the same over the entire width of the machine, the keys in the different rows A, B, C and D, with equal degree of oscillation on the part of the rocker bars, would require to perform movements of difierent extent, viz., row A the smallest movement and row D the greatest movement. These different degrees of movement are extremely undesirable, and occur in particular if the key bars are too short in themselves.
To overcome this drawback, and to obtain completely similar movements on the part of the keys, the rocker bars 64 are made of diflferent length, viz., in such fashion that the rocker bars pertaining to the short key bars A are made longer than the rocker bars 64 pertaining to the longer key bars 13, C or D. Beyond this the rocker curve 69 of the levers 64 is furnished with a different radius, so that with the same extent of movement of all keys the ends II of all rocker bars perform the same stroke.
In the form of embodiment illustrated in the It is also possible to provide on the rocker bars 64 flyweights 91, which complete the stroke of the type when the key bars 56 or the intermediate levers 13 do not impart any further movement to the type bars, in a manner similar to that in connection with so-called silent machines.
It will be obvious from the above that all intermediate levers 13 perform the same angular movementt. In view, however, of the curved type bar segment the upwardly directed arms of the intermediate levers require to be all the longer the more they are situated towards the outside of the machine in order to avoid an inclined pull of the rods on the lever arm 16 of the type bar.
In the machine as described it has been as-. sumed that the type bars do not perform equal strokes, but that the movement thereof increases the greater the distance of the particular type bar from the center of the machine. In order now to accomplish that the rocking motion (equal over the whole width of the machine) of the intermediate levers 13, which also increase towards the outside, is correctly transmitted to the type bars 52, the length of the.arms I6 is made to increase merely to such extent towards the sides of the machine that pertaining to greater rocking angles of the type bars levers there are corresponding rocking chords of the type bar arms. A further condition for the increase of the lever arms 13, I6 consists in the fact that all of the pull rods 15 connecting the same are disposed vertically to the type bar segment in the stationary position or operative position of the type. If the machine is one having a shiftebletype bar segment, the same remark also applies when the segment is in the half-shifted position. In this manner it is accomplished that despite dissimilar angle of operation of the single type bars 52 and equal rocking angle of all intermediate levers 13 the motion is correctly transmitted.
In Figs. 5 and 6 there are shown three different type bar drives, viz., one for a middle type bar 52, one for a type bar situated in the outer third of the segment, and one for the type bar situated in the extreme outside position. Fig. 5 shows in plan view of the type bar segment 5| the intermediate levers 13, the pull rods 15 and the type bars with their arms 16 in projection, i. e., shortened. The true lengths of the levers are shown in Fig. 6. This figure is to be assumed as having been derived by passing on each occasion through the fulcrum of the arm 16 and'the pull rod -15 a vertical plane on to which the single members are projected. The segment in the shifted position is indicated-in broken lines. a It will be quite apparent from Fig. 6 that in the half-shifted position of the segment the pull rod 15 is situated vertically to the direction of movement of the segment. With a view to mass production it may be desirable to vary the lengths of the intermediate levers 13 and the type bar arms i6 merely in groups, so that the rod 15 possess within certain narrow limits a varying inclination in relation to the type bar segment.
It will be understood that no limitation is made to the particular form of embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, and that numerous modifications and alterations are quite possible within the meaning of the above description and the annexed claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
