Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a type lever action control arrangement, and more particularly to a control arrangement for the type lever actions of power driven business machines, such as electric typewriters in which the type lever actions are actuated by a rotary power roll.
  • the distance of the key lever movement depends on the distance through which an actuating means controlled by the key lever moves until it effects engagement between a coupling member of the type lever action, and the driven power roll. In the known electric typewriters, these distances cannot be reduced beyond a certain minimum distance since otherwise undesired actuations are occasionally caused by shocks or by movements of the support of the machine. Such minimum distances require comparatively long actuating movements of the key levers.
  • control arrangements of the type lever actions require adjustment during assembly of the machine, and it is another object of the present invention to provide type lever actions which can be adjusted in a very simple manner so that the machines can be economically manufactured.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a control arrangement for the type lever actions of a business machine with adjustment means by which all type lever actions of a row of type lever actions can be simultaneously adjusted.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a power driven typewriter in which the key levers of all rows of key levers move through the same distance for actuating the respective type lever actions.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a control arrangement for type lever actions effecting a single actuation of a type lever action when the key lever is moved to a first position, and effecting a repeated actuation of the type lever action when the key lever is moved to another position.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a control arrangement for a type lever action permitting an extremely rapid succession of single actuations of the same key lever for the purpose of successively actuating the same type lever without using the repeat actuation arrangement.
  • one embodiment of the present invention comprises a power roll, an operating means forming part of a type lever action and including a coupling member cooperating with the power roll, a
  • the actuating means preferably pivots about a fulcrum member when the key lever is actuated, and moves to an actuating position in which it engages the operating means to shift the same to a position in which the coupling member engages the power roll so that the type lever action is actuated.
  • a portion of the operating means engages the actuating means during such movement, and shifts the same to the displaced position. In this displaced position of the actuating means, it cannot engage the operating means, even if the key lever is held depressed, so that the type lever action is not again actuated, even if the key lever is held depressed.
  • the actuating means is also lowered, and is engaged during the return movement of the operating means of the type lever action to effect repeat actuations of the type lever action as long as the key lever is maintained in the operating position associated with repeat actuations.
  • the actuating means includes a spring connected to a key lever, and an actuating member having a slot in which a pin of the key lever is slidably located.
  • the actuating member has a projecting portion cooperating with the fulcrum member, which is preferably an elongated bar extending across all key levers and type lever actions of one row of key levers.
  • the actuating member has another portion abutting an abutment member under the action of the spring, and such abutment member is for example, an adjustable rod extending across all type levers of a row of type levers, or a portion of the respective type lever.
  • Another preferably rounded portion of the actuating member cooperates with an operating member of the type lever action while the actuating member is shifted to its displaced position.
  • a further portion of the actuating member cooperates with a portion of the coupling member. All these portions of the actuating member are preferably transverse projections, and the portion of the actuating member which cooperates with the fulcrum member is hook-shaped to act as a stop in the displaced position of the actuating mem ber.
  • the abutment member and the fulcrum member are adjustable, and preferably the portion of the key lever on which the actuating member is mounted is provided with a bendable neck portion permitting a simple adjustment by a bending operation.
  • the portion of the key lever on which the actuating member is mounted is provided with means permitting different connections between the same and the actuating member.
  • the same key lever can be used in different rows of the keyboard of the typewriter, the connection being made in such a manner that all key levers move to the same distance for actuating the key lever action.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary side view, partially in section, illustrating one embodiment of the invention in a normal initial position
  • FIG. 2 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 but showing the apparatus in another position;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view corresponding to FIG. 1 but showing the apparatus in another operating position
  • FIG. 4 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 but showing the apparatus in a position in which the type lever action is repeatedly actuated;
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary side view, partially in section, illustrating a modified embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary side elevation, partially taken in section, illustrating a modification of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • Each key lever 1 has a mounting portion 3 which is connected by a neck portion 27 to the main part of the key lever, the neck portion 27 being formed by two cutouts 28 and 29 and permitting adjustment of the position of the mounting portion 3 by a bending operation performed by a tool inserted into cutouts 28 and 29.
  • a pin 4 is secured to mounting portion 3 and is located in a slot 6 of an actuating member or actuating lever 5 which is connected by a spring 7 to the key lever 1 and which may be considered a motion-transmitting means.
  • a fulcrum member 20 includes a bar 29a extending across all key levers 1 and actuating members 5 of one row of key levers, and a pair of brackets 20b at the ends of bar 20a.
  • Each bracket 20b has two slots 200 in which a pair of screws 20d is located so that the position of bar 20a can be adjusted relative to the transverse projection 19 on the portion 18 of actuating member 5.
  • Spring 7 extends inclined to the direction of slot 6 and pulls actuating member 5 into its normal position in which pin 4 is located at one end of slot 6 and in which a lateral abutment portion 9 of actuating member 5 abuts an abutment member 8 which extends across all type levers 1 of the row.
  • Abutment member 8 is shown as a cylindrical rod or bar and is secured by lateral brackets to side walls of the machine in the manner described with reference to the fulcrum member 20 so that the position of the abutment rod or bar 8 relative to the actuating members 5 of the row can be adjusted.
  • Spring 7 and actuating member or lever 5 constitute an actuating means.
  • a set of type lever actions is arranged in alignment with the key levers 1.
  • Each. type lever action includes an operating member 14 turnably mounted on a shaft 16 which is supported on a frame part 17 of the machine.
  • a link is hooked into the opening 14a of operating member 14 and is connected to a conventional type lever.
  • Each operating means of 'a type lever action further includes a coupling member 12 having a coupling portion cooperating with the power roll 26 of the machine.
  • a spring 23 connects coupling member 12 with operating member 14 and urges coupling member 12 into the position shown in FIG. 1 in which one end of the coupling portion 15 abuts the stationary part 17.
  • Another spring 21 is connected to a frame part, not shown, and operating member 14 and urges the operating means 14 and 12 to turn in counterclockwise direction to the normal inoperative position illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Coupling member 12 has a first control portion 12a cooperating with a transversely projecting lateral portion 10 of actuating member 5 and operating member 14 has a second control portion 22. When coupling member 12 turns in clockwise direction, it eventually reaches a position in which its end abuts an adjustable stop in the form of an eccentric member 25 which is turnably mounted on a shaft 24.
  • the control arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 operates in the following manner: In the initial normal position of the arrangement, the key lever is in the position 1a, and all parts are in the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • Actuating member 5 abuts abutment rod 8 and pin 4 is located at the right end of slot 6.
  • the friction face of coupling portion 15 is slightly spaced from the surface of the power roll 26, and the angular projecting portion 19 is slightly spaced from fulcrum bar 20a.
  • the lateral projection 10 is located opposite the first control portion 12a on coupling member 12.
  • each key lever 1 is limited by an adjustable stop 60, see FIG. 1, which can be shifted to a Repeat Actuation position in which movement of key lever 1 to a lower operating position 1c is possible.
  • the type lever action is repeatedly actuated as long as key lever 1 remains in the position 10.
  • actuating member 5 is also raised sufficiently to permit the hook-shaped projection 18 to pass over the edge of fulcrum member 20.
  • fulcrum member 20 When fulcrum member is lowered, the small space between transverse projection 19 and the upper edge of fulcrum bar 20a, see FIG. 1, is increased so that key lever 1 must move farther down before projection 19 abuts the upper edge of fulcrum bar 20a, and actuating member 5 can pivot about this fulcrum to engage coupling member 12 by portion 10.
  • fulcrum member 20 and abutment member 8 are correspondingly adjusted.
  • Fulcrum member 20 and abutment member 8 extend across the entire machine and cooperate with the actuating members 5 of all the type lever actions which are controlled by a row of key levers 1. Therefore, all key levers of the respective row are simultaneously adjusted by adjustment of members 8 and 20. If an individual adjustment of one or several of the key levers 1 is desired, the neck 27 of portion 3 is bent so that pivot pin 4 is displaced relative to the pins of other key levers 1. The cutouts 28 and 29 receive prongs of a suitable tool so that neck 27 can be very accurately bent. It is evident that lowering of pin 4 by bending mounting portion 3 in counterclockwise direction, will move portion 10 to a position closer to coupling lever 12, so that a shorter travel of the respective adjusted key lever 1 is necessary for effecting actuation of the respective type lever action.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a modified arrangement whose construction and operation substantially corresponds to the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. However, instead of an abutment member common to all actuating members of the row, each actuating member cooperates with an abutment member on the respective associated type lever.
  • a key lever 30 is biased by spring 30a to normally abut against an abutment 301).
  • Key lever 30 has a pin 31 projecting into an elongated slot 33 of actuating member 32.
  • a spring 38 connects lever 30 with actuating member 32 and urges the latter to the position illustrated in FIG. 5 in which pin 31 is located at one end of slot 33.
  • the projection 37 is located above and slightly spaced from the fulcrum member 50, while the abutment portion 34 abuts the abutment portion 39 which is connected by a thin neck to the main part of the key lever 30.
  • Abutment portion 39 has an opening 40, and the main portion of the key lever 30 has a correlated opening 41, so that the prongs of a tool can be inserted into openings 40 and 41 for the purpose of bending the neck of abutment portion 39 until the position of abutment portion 39 relative to the actuating member 32 is exactly adjusted.
  • Actuating member 32 has an actuating portion 35 cooperating with a portion of a coupling lever 42 which has a coupling portion 45 cooperating with a power roll 26.
  • Coupling member 42 is mounted on a pivot pin 43 of operating member 44 for turning movement, and is urged by a spring 46 to the illustrated position.
  • portion 37 of actuating member 32 abuts the fulcrum member 50 so that actuat ing member 32 turns about the latter to a position displacing coupling member 42 until coupling portion 45 engages the power roll 26 which effects turning movement of the operating means 42, 45, 44 until the control portion 49 of operating member 44 engages the curved control portion 49 of actuating member 32and shifts actuating member 32 to the right as viewed in FIG. 5 to a displaced position in which projecting portion 37 is located behind the fulcrum bar 50 so that actuating member 32 can pivot to a higher position under the action of spring 38. In this higher position of the actuating member 32, its lateral portion 35 is located so high that it cannot be engaged by the returning coupling member 42 whereby a repeated actuating is prevented.
  • Travel of the key lever 30 can be adjusted by adjustment of fulcrum member 50, or by bending of abutment portion 39, or by both adjustments.
  • the key lever 13 may be depressed to a repeat actuation position in which portion 36 is located so low that the returning coupling lever 42 abuts portion 35 before coupling portion 45 releases power roll 26 so that the actuations are repeated.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a modified arrangement of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the mounting portion 3 of each type lever 1 has, for example, four bores 51, 52, 53, 54 corresponding to a keyboard having four rows of keys I to IV.
  • the pin 4 is mounted in the bore 51 if the key lever 1 belongs to row I, while the same standard key lever 1 is used for row II by inserting the pin into bore 52.
  • the slots 6 of the actuating members are correspondingly shifted in the actuating members 5 which are used in association with the key levers 1 of diiferent rows I to IV. In this manner, it is assured that all key levers of the four rows will have to move to the same distance of travel to position 1b to effect actuation of the respective type lever action.
  • a corresponding modification can be made in the embodiment of FIG. 5 by arranging the slots 33 in different positions for the key levers of each row.
