Definitions

  • a business machine adapted to be used for printing different items of information such as characters, figures and symbols, includes a coding arrangement, comprising, according to the invention, in combination, a plurality of control means comprising information input means including each a type printing member movable between an idle position and a printing position, each of said information input means being respectively associated With different items of information and each including at least one and a maximum of two normally closed circuit interrupting means operable by the respective pninting member and opening the respective circuit for an indefinite periodvof time upon actuation of the respective information input means resulting in moving the respective printing member to its pninting position; a plurality of code element output means changeable between an inoperative and an operative condition, selected combinations of operative ones and inoperative ones of said code element output means, respectively, representing different code signals respectively associated with dierent ones of said :items of information; a source of energy; and circuit means operatively interconnecting said source of energy, said current interrupting means of said information input means
  • the key 7 is the conventional back space key while for the shifting from line to line the shift key S marked LF is provided.
  • the two keys 9 marked CR serve for causing the carriage return.
  • the shift key 10, marked accordingly, serves for shifting from lower case characters to upper case characters.
  • At the left-hand end of the keyboard keys 11 and 12 are provided by means of which, as will be described further below with reference to FIG. 5, during a coding operation the shift from transmitting characters to transmitting figures or symbols, or vice versa, is to be effected. Itis to be understood that the keys assigned to umlauts and as well as all those keys which are associated with controls or symbols ⁇ which are not to be translated into coded signals, e.g. ⁇
  • thev relay coils R1-R5, R34 and R35 each operate one first relay contact r1R1, 1R2, r1R3, r1R4, r1R5, r1R34 and r1R35 connected in series with each other in the line 42 between junction points 40 and 44.
  • The; function of these first contacts will be described4 further below.
  • the second and third contacts operated by the above mentioned relay coilsk form part of the selector means and control the energy output lines 50, 51,
  • circuitinterrupting means bein-g ythereby moved to open position, the movement of atleast one and a maximum of two predetermined selected circuit circuit interrupting means irrespective of theduration ofl the resulting circuit interruption, and for rendering, upon actuation of a particular one of said information input means, at least one selected one of said code element output means ready for being changed Afrom inoperative to operative condition so as to predetermine thereby a particular combination of operative and inoperative code element output means which represents the same item of information as said particular actuated information input means, and control means actuatable by any one of said information input means for connecting, upon actuation of said particular information input means, said source ⁇ of energy with those selected code elementoutput means which are rendered ready for being changed from inoperative to operative condition within said particular combination thereof, and for thereby effecting the change of ⁇ said selected ⁇ code element output means from inoperative to operative condition, whereby a code signal is delivered by said selected code element output means which Y represents the same item of information as the particular .information
