Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the typewriter and printing arts and more particularly to the provision of a mechanism for maintaining a substantially constant torque on a lead screw which serves to control the movement of a typewriter carrier in either longitudinal direction.
  • the proportional escapement control apparatus comprises a pin wheel mounting a plurality of pins, each of which is movable to a set or reset state.
  • a pin setting assembly determines the states of the pins in accordance with the characters selected by the typist.
  • An escapement pawl assembly is responsive to the set pins and limits the rotation of the pin wheel during each escapement operation.
  • the pin wheel is drivingly connected with a lead screw which moves the typewriter carrier in a forward spacing or backspacing direction depending on the direction of rotation of the pin wheel and lead screw.
  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for maintaining a substantially constant torque on a driven member which can be rotated in either direction, such as a lead screw in a typewriter that moves a typewriter carrier.
  • the mechanism comprises a spiral spring acting to turn the lead screw and advance the typewriter carrier.
  • An input member is caused to intermittently oscillate and during movement of the input member in one direction the spiral spring is Wound via a clutch spring.
  • a second clutch spring prevents unwinding of the spiral spring.
  • Means are provided for selectively disengaging the clutch springs whenever the spiral spring is wound to a predetermined extent either in response to movement of the input member in the one direction or rotation of the lead screw to backspace the typewriter carrier.
  • a spiral spring is wound to a predetermined extent prior to each intermittent movement of the driven member in one direction so that the time required for a unit movement of the driven member remains substantially constant during each intermittent movement.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a constant torque device for maintaining a substantially constant torque on a driven member regardless of the direction of movement of the driven member.
  • Clutch means prevent the spiral spring from being wound beyond a predetermined extent even when the driven member moves in a direction that applies forces to the constant torque device tending to wind the spiral spring.
  • a further object of the invention is the provision of a constant torque device having the characteristics above described which is highly simplified in construction and operation and can be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
  • the constant torque device is adapted to operate over long periods of time in a reliable manner with a minimum of maintenance and adjustment.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a constant torque device used in a typewriter and constructed in accordance with the teachings of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is an end sectional view taken along the section line 22 of FIGURE 1.
  • the reference number 1 designates an interchangeable print element which is detachably secured to a mounting post 2.
  • the print element 1 is mounted from a rocker plate 3 which in turn is pivoted by pins 4 to a carrier 5.
  • the carrier 5 is mounted for longitudinal sliding movement on a print shaft 6 by a print sleeve 7 carrying a print cam 8.
  • the print sleeve 7 is slidable along and rotatable with the print shaft 6 so that when the print shaft 6 rotates, the print cam 8 pivots the rocker plate 3 about pins 4 to throw the print element 1 toward an elongated and stationary printing platen 11').
  • the print element 1 has the shape of a truncated spheroid and a plurality of characters of different widths are formed in generally aligned vertical and horizontal rows thereon.
  • the typewriter is provided with a plurality of character keylevers, not shown, and a number of function keylevers, also not shown, including a case shift keylever.
  • Each of the character keylevers is associated with two of the characters formed on the print element and is operative to actuate character selection apparatus, not shown, for rotating and tilting the print element to bring one of the characters into printing position as determined by the state of the case shift keylever.
  • This character selection apparatus and the mechanisms for rotating and tilting the print element 1 may be of the type employed in the single element typewriter marketed by International Business Machines Corporation under the trademark Selectric.
  • the carrier 5 has a driving connection with an elongated lead screw 12 which extends in generally parallel relation with respect to the printing platen 10.
  • the lead screw 12 is rotated by means to be hereinafter more fully described to move the carrier 5 and the print element 1 in either longitudinal direction to various printing positions in front of the printing platen 10.
  • the directions of rotations and angular distances moved by the lead screw determine the extent of forward escapement movements and the extent of backspacing movements of the print element 1 and the carrier 5.

  • a sleeve 22 Mounted on the outer end of the input shaft 17 in coaxial and longitudinally spaced relation with respect to elongated sleeve 16 is a sleeve 22. This sleeve is rigidly attached to the input shaft 17 by a set screw and is rotatable therewith. Received in overlying and spanning relation with respect to the sleeves 16 and 22 is a clutch spring 23.
  • the clutch spring 23 is right hand wound and has one end thereof attached to the sleeve 16 while the other end provides a radially extending projection 24.

  • the arrangement is such that the input shaft 17 oscillates each time the print shaft 6 is rotated to effect a printing operation.
  • the right end of the lead screw 12 is connected by suitable gearing means, represented 'by pinion gears 38 and 39, to an escapement pin wheel 40 having a plurality of equally spaced pins 41 about the outer periphery thereof.
  • the pins 41 are adapted to be engaged by the tip of an escapement pawl 42 having an elongated slot 43 therein which serves to mount the escapement pawl 42 for pivotal and longitudinal movement on pin 44.
  • a spring 45 biases the escapement pawl forwardly and downwardly into engagement with the pins 41 on the escapement pin wheel 40.
  • An escapement pawl release lever 46 is also pivoted on the pivot pin 44 and has a transversely extending tab 47 which overlies the rear end of the escapement pawl 42.
  • a link 50 extends to a bellcrank 51 mounting a cam follower roll which engages escapement cam 52.
  • the escapement cam 52 rotates with the print shaft 6. It should be noted that each time the print shaft 6 is rotated, the cams 8, 36 and 52 mounted thereon actuate several operations in a desired sequence.
  • the print element 1 is thrown toward the printing platen 10 by cam 8, the input shaft 17 is oscillated by cam 36 and the escapement pawl 42 is released by cam 52.
  • a backspace pawl 55 is pivoted on a lever 56 which is journalled on the shaft mounting the escapement pin wheel 40. An end portion of the backspace pawl 55 engages a fixed stop 57.
  • An arm 58 of the lever 56 has a link attached thereto which extends to suitable typist actuated backspace drive apparatus, not shown.
  • a pulling force on link 59 rotates lever 58 clockwise and the backspace pawl 55 is moved upwardly from the stop 57.
  • a spring 60 immediately pulls escapement pawl 55 into engagement with the pins 41 and the escapement pin wheel is rotated in the backspace direction.
  • the lead screw 12 rotates in a counterclockwise direction and the print element 1 and carrier 5 move to a previous printing position.
  • escapement and backspace assemblies should be considered only as schematic and representative disclosures of escapement control apparatus capable of limiting the rotation of the lead screw 12 in one direction against the action of spiral spring 20 and backspacing apparatus capable of rotating the lead screw in the opposite direction.
