  • said support is arranged at least on a level with the feed plane of the writing material, said support being mounted in spaced relationship to and behind the transcribing machine and in that the continuous sets of forms stacked in a stationary pile container behind said transcribing machine are supported by said paper support on passing through the transcribing machine.
  • the invention further proposes to dispose the uppermost supporting point of the paper support preferably in the perpendicular longitudinal central plane of the said pile container or the continuous sets of forms respectively.
  • the paper support according to the invention may have the form of a bracket secured to the base plate of the transcribing machine, or to the transcribing machine or to the pile container.
  • the paper support may consist of a laterally movable guide lever fixed to the carriage, preferably in such a way that the point of support in the reciprocating motion of the carriage retains its neutral position with respect to the writing material, thus ensuring an almost constant support of said material.
  • the continuous sets of forms are arranged zig-zag folded or reeled within a stationary mounted holding device or stacking or pile container which may have the form of, for example, a container open at its upper end and having laterally adjustable side plates, and the bottom of said container may be provided with extensible supporting members presenting a stop member at their rear end, said supporting members being adjustable to difierent sizes of writing material.
  • the improved device permits the continuous material for writing on to be guided approximately parallel, and avoids the development of tension forces or other stresses which may affect the material in spite of the continuous reciprocating motion of the carriage vertically to the direction of feed of the material such that this continuous transverse movement of the carriage in the direction of feed of the material to be inserted cannot impose undesirable stresses or tensional forces on the Writing ma terial.
  • the paper support is provided with a level guide directly ahead of the inserting area of the writing material into the roller of the carriage, said level guide being adapted to align the Writing material in the desired position for insertion.
  • the invention further provides a level guide on the carriage for laterally and vertically aligning the continuous writing material prior to its insertion into the transcribing machine.
  • This level guide can easily be formed with lateral guiding edges projecting beyond the lateral edges of the writing material to be inserted, said guiding edges preferably being curved in the direction of feed of the writing material and relatively thereto such that an enlarged inlet and/or outlet passage is formed.
  • the latter according to a further feature of the invention is provided with at least one stop member located above the writing material, said stop member preferably being convex relatively to said Writing material.
  • a particular simple and practical arrangement of the level guide is obtained according to yet another feature of the invention by securing the level guide directly to the carriage of the transcribing machine by means of a .known adhesive, for example a self-adhesive tape, a magnet or the like means.
  • a .known adhesive for example a self-adhesive tape, a magnet or the like means.
