Application February 17, 1949, Serial No. 76,911
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a supporting foot for typewriting machines, so constructed and arranged that the noise caused by operating the ty-pewriting machine will be absorbed by the supporting feet and prevented from being transmitted to the desk or table on which the machine is supported.
An important object of the invention is to provide supporting feet which will not only absorb shock and noise, but will insure against creeping of the machine while in use.
Another object of the invention is to provide supporting feet of a character that may be readily and easily secured to a typewriting machine without the necessity 'of making extensive alterations to mount them.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure l is a side elevational view of a typewriter equipped with supporting feet, constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmental bottom plan view of a typewriter equipped with supporting feet in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig, 4 is a sectional view taken approximately on line i4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a, sectional view taken on line 55 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates th conventional typewriting machine which in the present showing is illustrated as mounted on the pivoted top 6 of a typewriting table, the top being capable of swinging downwardly to a position as shown in dotted lines for enclosing the typewriter within the typewriting table, when not in use.
. The typewriter foot or support, forming the subject matter of the present invention, includes the holder l which may be inverted cup shape, or
the side portions of the holder may be cut away providing a plurality of curved arms 8 curved to conform to the curvature of the cushioning member 3 which is in the form of a pneumatic ball. In connection with the holder, it might b stated that the depth of the holder is such that it will extend beyond a line drawn horizontally through the center of the cushioning member so that the cushioning member will be held within the holder, by frictiona1 contact therewith.
The holder is formed with an opening through which the screw It extends, the screw l 0 providin means for securing the holder in the usual threaded opening of a typewriter leg by means of which the usual typewriter foot is secured.
The holder 1 at the front end of the typewriter, is provided with a substantially short screw II which is threaded in an opening of the lower arm 12 of the foot support l3, thfoot support 13 also embodying a curved arm M extending upwardly and rearwardly from th lower arm I2, in spaced relation therewith. This curved arm l4 accommodates the ball l5 secured at the free end of the arm it that in turn is secured at one of its ends, to the pivoted top 6 with th free end thereof extended upwardly. Thus it will be seen that as the pivoted top 6 is swung downwardly to enclose the typewriter Within the top of the typewriter table, the curved arm It will act as a support to prevent the typewriter from sliding by gravity from the inclined top.
The bracket indicated at i! is connected with the foot support I3, and includes the wing screw ['8 that operates through a threaded opening in one side of the clamp, the screw engaging the flange [9 at the side of the keyboard of the typewriter, over which the bracket [1 is positioned, securing the foot support in position on the typewriter.
Should it be desired to use the pneumatic foot forming the subject matter of the present invention, on the ordinary typewriter table having a stationary top, the arm it maybe omitted and the pneumatic foot secured in a manner as shown by Fig. 1 of the drawing.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the fact that I have used a, pneumatic ball as the supportng foot of a typewriter, it will be obvious that vibrations in any direction will be absorbed by the pneumatic balls and consequently the noise incident to the use of a typewriter, will be eliminated;
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
In a typewriter support a substantially U-shaped bracket having upwardly extending arms adapted to partially embrace a portion of a typewriter frame, means carried by one of the arms for clamping the bracket 'to the frame, a curved arm carried by one of the arms of the U-shaped bracket and extending laterally and upwardly therefrom, a lower arm carried by the curved arm and extending laterally therebeneath, a, foot support carried by the lower arm and extending downwardly therefrom, a cushion carried by the foot support and extending downwardly therefrom for engaging a supporting surface and means carried by the support and engaging the curved arm and the lower arm for preventing endwise shifting of a typewriter on the supporting surface.
