RETRACTING MECHANISM FOR PRINTING ELEMENTS OF BUSINESS MACHINES Filed Aug. 6, 1947 2 SHEETS-SHEET 2 INVENTOR COR NELIS HENDRICUS STUIVENBERG ATTORNEYS Patented Dec. 2, 1952 RETRAC' IING MECHANISM FOR PRINTING ELEMENTS OF BUSINESS MACHINES Cornelis Hendricus Stuivenberg, Haarlem,
. Netherlands Application August 6, 1947, Serial No. 766,771 In Germany March 30, 19 9.3
Sectionl, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires March 30, 1963 This invention relates to business machines such as calculating, bookkeeping and similar machines, and more specifically concerns the retracting mechanism for printing elements in such business machines. Business machines of the type involved comprise type carriers which are reciprocably mounted and slidably support a plurality of printing elements which are actuated by a printing hammer for causing the respective printing element to effect a printing operation. After completion of the printing operation, the respective printing element is returned to its original or inoperative position by a retracting mechanism.
The type carriers of suchlike printing mechanisms up to now were so equipped that an inset which contained the typeblocks also contained a bar or similar device, which was pressed by a spring against the typeblocks and which bar in its turn pressed the typeblocks into their normal position. Type carriers with a great number of typeblocks optionally were equipped with a number of bars, each of which was pressed by a spring against a number of typeblocks. Instead of a number of bars angle-levers have already been applied for resetting typeblocks, which levers were in a particular way interconnected by a joint spring. In case of these known type carriers, the angle-levers together with the springs were also equipped within the type-inset.
The object of the invention is to simplify the resetting of the typeblocks and to reduce the width of the construction of the type carriers, so that a particular width of the printing mechanism can be equipped with a greater number of type carriers than up to now. According to the invention this object is reached because for resetting the typeblocks of each type carrier, the construction of the machine is provided with a device which is influenced by a resetting force and which is equipped independent of the movement of the type carriers. Thus according to the invention, the resetting bars and springs which in case of the known type carriers had been contained in the type-inset, are replaced by a device arranged separately in the construction of the machine, so that the width of the type-insets can be reduced in accordance with the rejected parts that were contained in them up to now. Consequently the type carriers of the printing mechanism according to the invention have a smaller constructional width than the known type carannexed drawing.
5 Claims. (Cl. 101-109) Fig. 1 shows a type-inset of a known type carrier.
Fig. 2 indicates the type carrier with a type-inset connected to it.
Fig. 3 represents a profile through the type carrier on a somewhat larger scale.
Fig. 4 shows a typeblock of the type carrier, also on a larger scale.
Fig. 5 is a printing mechanism according to the invention.
Fig. 6 shows a profile through two adjoining type carriers of the printing mechanism according to Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 illustrates another embodiment of the printing mechanism according to the invention.
Fig. 8 is a profile through two adjoining type carriers of the printing mechanism according to Fig. 7.
Figs. 9 and 10 illustrate the operation of the arrangement shown in Fig. 7.
In Figs. 1-4 a type-inset 2 has been connected to the type carrier l, which inset has notches 3 for the guidance of the reciprocable typeblocks 4. To reset the typeblocks 4 a bar 5 is provided, which is pressed by a spring 6 against the camshaped extensions of the typeblocks 4. If a printing bar or a printing hammer brings one of the typeblocks 4 against the printing surface, the resetting bar 5, which is under the action of the spring 6, causes the operated type block to return to its normal position after impression has taken place. As may directly be derived from the drawing, especially from Figs. 1 and 3, the bar 5 and the spring 6 within the type carrier require a relatively great width, so that a certain width of the printing mechanism allows the provision of only a limited number of type carriers.
In the printing mechanism according to Figs. 5 and 6 the type carriers II have been provided with type-insets l2, in which the typeblocks it are so conducted that they can be shifted in longitudinal direction. For the resetting of the typeblocks [4 use is made of an angle-lever l5, which is under the action of a tension spring It. The arm of the angle-lever 15 which projects upwardly, is provided with a slanting part I1. The projections of the typeblocks 14 which co-operate with the angle-lever, have corresponding slanting parts. i8 is the printing roller, l9 the ink ribbon and 20 the hammer that strikes the typeblocks I 4. As may be derived from Fig. 6, the type carriers may be small of construction as regards their width, no room being required for resetting devices between the type carrier l l and the type-inset.
The arms of the angle-levers which have been equipped as resetting devices project into the existing interspace of the typeblocks M of adjoining type carriers.
When the printing mechanism is operating, the type carrier is pushed upwards in a known manner and positioned at the types that are to be impressed. During the impression the printing hammer 20 drops against the typeblock l4 that is in printing position and strikes this block against the printing roller IS, the required impression being obtained by means of the ink ribbon l9. When the respective type block I4 is thus being moved forwardly toward the printing roller l8, it takes along the arm l5 against the thrust of spring I6. After the impression has been made, the spring 5 by means of the angle-lever l5 returns the operated typeblock back to its normal position. If some typeblocks l4 near the operated typeblock l4 should have been shifted a little owing to shocks originated by the impression of the operated typeblock M, the blocks inquestion are pushed back into their normal position by the slanting part I! of the angle-lever l5, when the typebearer is moving back to its normal position; the pushing back of the typeblocks preferably is so effected that they are already pushed back, before coming within reach of the ink'ribbon l9. Thus possibly projecting typeblocks M are securely prevented from actuating the ink ribbon 16 during the downward movement of the type carrier.
The printing mechanism according to Figs. 7 and 8 comprises a type carrier with a great many typeblocks has been indicated, as e. g. applied to tabulating-machines for printing letters, figures and signs. In this case as resetting device for the typeblocks l4 two-arm levers 2| have been applied, which are pivotally supported by a shaft 22 outside of and separate from the type carrier 28 and type blocks 14 and. mounted in the machine frame. The two arm levers 2| 'are'each acted upon by ,a spring 23. As may :bederived from Fig. 8, the levers 2| will lie between "the free extremities of the type blocks Ill. The arm of the lever :21 that is co-operati-ng with the typeblocks M, has an extended 'head provided with slant surfaces 24, 25 for retaining the type blocks M to their normal or inactive position. The typeblocks M are provided with lateral extensions tor bosses 21 having inclined surfaces corresponding to and arranged for co-operation with the slant surfaces 2'4 and 25.
The operation of the printing mechanism according to Figs. '7 and. 8 in the main corresponds to the operation of the printing mechanism described above. When the type carrier is being shifted, typeblocks I4 that may have been pushed forward, are brought back "to their normal or inactive position by the slant surfaces 24, 25 of .the resetting lever 2| as will presently appear.
In Fig. 8, there is shown a portion of the type carrier'28 with two type blocks IA. 'The upper one of these type blocks is in its retracted position, while the lower type .block l4 shown .in Fig. .9 is not in its retracted position. As will be clear from Fig. 9, the lever 2| with its slant or beveled surface '25 just engages the .adjacent beveled surface of the extension .21 pertaining to the lower type block |4.- It will now be clear that, when the type carrier 28 is moved-in the direction of the arrow Q, the upper beveled surface of the extension 21 pertaining to the lower type block M will slide :along :the beveled surface 25 of-the lever 2| .until'the lastementioned extension 21 has moved behind the right-hand edge (with regard to Fig. 9) of the lever 2| so that the lower type block ll of Fig. 9 will be in its retracted position similar to the retracted position of the upper type blocks l4.
Referring now to Fig. 10, the situation is just reversed. In other words, the lower type block I4 is in its retracted position, while the upper type block I is not in its retracted position.
' It will be clear that, if now the type carrier 28 is moved in the direction of the arrow Z, the beveled surface 24 of the lever 2| will engage the lower beveled surface of the extension 21 pertaining to the upper type block M of Fig. 10 and will cause this upper type block to move into its retracted position.
The co-operating parts of the type blocks l4 and the lever 2| are preferably so arranged that the type blocks nearest to the ink ribbon of the printing mechanism are, when not being actuated by the printing hammer, sufliciently spaced from the ink ribbon so that a sticking of the ink ribbon through the type blocks is always avoided. During the actual printing operation, the respective lever 2| is taken along by the type :block which is acted .upon by the printing hammer, against the force of the spring .23, but as soon as the impression has been made and the actuating pressure .on the printing hammer has been released, the spring 23 automatically returns the respective type block H to its normal or "inactive position.
