SPRING CONSTRUCTION FOR A TYPE RACK Filed Aug. 31, 1959 INVENTOR. ANDREW R. LANG A TTORNE Y.
7 2,978,978 SPRING CONSTRUCTION FOR A TYPE RACK Andrew R. Lang, Detroit, Mich., assignor to Burroughs Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Michigan Filed Aug. 31, 1959, Set. No. 837,161 6 Claims. (Cl. 101-109) This invention relates to printing mechanisms and has particular reference to a biasing spring for printing elements in a type rack or magazine.
One object is to provide a spring construction for apparatus of the above and a related character which permits a very limited amount of spring vibration.
Another object is to provide a spring construction which permits deformation of the impacted portion of the spring within substantially the full width of the housing.
Another object is to provide .a self adjusting spring which will by its own action vary the impact points and thus increase the impact area for each type element or the like greatly decreasing the possibility of fracture at these points.
A further object is to provide a spring construction and mounting so designed that the spring is retained within its housing but is not limited in its deflection within the limits of the housing.
The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description and drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the inventive idea in which:
Fig. 1 illustrates the shape of the spring prior to its insertion in the type rack of Fig. 2;
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the type rack with its associated elements in their assembled positions;
Figs. 3, 4, and 5 illustrate the action of the spring in the type rack of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows spring 11 which is of unitary construction, formed from a single strip of resilient material into a spring of substantially hairpin configuration. One leg portion 12 of the hairpin shaped spring is substantially straightand the other leg portion 13 is bowed with an arcuately bent central fulcrum section 14 about which the spring can rock freely when in its mounted position. When placed under slight compression for mounting in the assembly the straight leg 12 is in opposition to bowed leg 13 near its terminal portion 15. In addition, there is a bent stud retaining loop portion 16 formed at the base of the U-shaped structure. The design of spring 11 incorporates bend radii of a maximum size throughout legs 12 and 13, to provide reduced stress on the spring when fiexure occurs. Where the leg portions 12 and 13 join the loop portion 16 the bends are not less than substantially right angle bends.
In Fig. 2 is shown the application of the spring of the present invention to a type rack 12, which is illustrated in Figs. 67 and 69 of US. Patent 2,629,549, issued on February 24, 1953, to T. M. Butler, carrying a vertically disposed row of horizontally extending elongated type elements 18 within a housing 21. A slot 24 in the base of a housing 21 permits insertion of spring 11 into the type rack 17. After sliding the spring 11 through the slot 24, it is anchored with its loop portion 16 enveloped by retaining stud 20, located near the base of the housing 21. Each type element 18 is slidably and individually displaceable through slots 25 in parallel spaced support sections 23 in an axial direction relative to the type housing 21. When the printing hammer 22 is actuated, it strikes the selected'type element 18 and forces it toward the printing area including a platen 26. Printing hammer 22 acts against the restoring force exerted by straight leg 12 of the spring against laterally extending States Patent 0 2,978,978 Patented Apr. 11, 1961 shoulder portions 19 of the type elements 18. It should be noted that the loop portion 16 is anchored by retaining stud 20 with clearance provided to allow spring 11 to creep upwardly or downwardly. This permits constant change of the points of impact of the type shoulder 19 against straight leg 12 thereby greatly lessening the possibility of fracture at these points.
In Fig. 3 one of the upper type elements 18 is actuated and the resulting deformation of the spring is shown. Repeated actuation of the upper type elements results in gradual movement of the spring 11 and its stud r..- taining loop portion 16 downwardly relative to stud 20 leaving clearance between the base of the loop and the stud. This results in the creep previously referred to in connection with Fig. 2 and a. resultant enlarged impact area on straight leg 12 for each type element 18. Spring 11 rocks freely about its central fulcrum 14 of bowed leg 12 which bears against the abutting edge of the housing 21 of type rack 17.
In Fig. 4 one of the centrally located type elements 18 is actuated and the resulting deformation of the spring is shown. Retaining loop portion 16 is free to move laterally as required around stud 20 until the lower portion of the bowed leg 13 is in limiting abutment against its opposing support section 23.
In Fig. 5 one of the, lower type elements 18 is actuated and the deformation is shown. Repeated actuation of the lower elements results in gradual movement of the stud retaining loop 16 upwardly relative to stud 20 moving the impact points on straight leg 12, again permitting creep of thespring, however in an upward. direction. Spring 11 again rocks freely about its fulcrum section 14 of bowed leg 13 which bears against the abutting edge of support section 23. In addition, actuation of a lower type element 18 results in free transverse movement of the-loop 16 without inhibiting distortion of the spring, thus allowing free transmission of stress around the substantiallyfree floating loop 16 of the spring.
It is readily apparent that the spring design permits direct insertion into the fully assembled type rack assembly with attendant ease of replacement and a minimum of preload stress. The symmetrical bend of bowed leg portion 13 provides substantially uniform tension along the entire length of straight leg portion 12. When a deflecting force is applied the spring is itself deflected over substantially the same linear length regardless of where on straight leg 12 the force is applied.
The shape of bowed leg 13 with its central fulcrum section 14 together with its free floating fulcrurned position against the wall of housing 21 permits free transmission of stresses. around the loop portion to permit both its end portions to contribute substantially their entire length to share the spring load. In addition, the substantially uniform linear flexure of the spring in bowed leg 13 provides a restoring tension along the straight leg 12 that is exceedingly uniform regardless of which typeelement is actuated. It should be noted that with creep clearance allowed about the stud 29 the spring is not stressed at the same point as different type elements 18 are actuated. In addition, the stress provided upon straight leg 12 by bowed leg 13 where they slidably bear together near their free terminals operates with a dampening effect on the vibrations of straight leg 12 after hammer 22has actuated a type element and been withdrawn. This greatly reduced period of vibration for the straight leg naturally lessens the possibility of fracture of the spring.
Particular attention should be directed to the structural characteristics of the loop 16. In the mounted condition a manner that stresses cannot be freely transmitted mound the loop. The anchoring portion of the Spring, the loop portion, is deformable outside and beyond the limits of the housing.
The above factors, together with others previously indicated, appreciably reduce fatigue and flexure type stresses, thereby assuming prolonged service life and virtual elimination of spring break-down and replacement problems.
