sum u [If 4 ROLL MEMORANDUM DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to roll memorandum devices which are devices having a paper feed roll of which portions are selectively disposed upon a writing surface. In devices of this type the portion of the paper feed roll disposed upon the writing surface is written upon with appropriate information. A fresh writing surface can be then provided by merely rotating the paper feed roll which causes the portion of the paper formerly disposed upon the writing surface to be removed therefrom. Also, in devices of this type, the portion of the paper roll written upon can be torn off.
Conventional devices of the above type suffer from certain disadvantages. The principal disadvantage is the fact that the feeding mechanism for the paper from the paper roll to the writing surface is not positive. That is, in many cases, the paper will slip and not feed. This, of course, makes the device inoperative.
The structure of the present invention avoids this disadvantage by providing a horizontally disposed pivotally movable holding member upon the writing surface and above the feed rollers. The holding member is spring biased toward the feed rollers. The paper is disposed between the holding member and the feed rollers and is thus placed in continuing close contact with the feed rollers at all times.
A further disadvantage of conventional devices is the fact that the control between the paper roll shaft and feed roller shaft is not positive and the intermediate driving structure tends to slip. In the present device the means for driving are positively engaged and disengaged when required.
A further disadvantage of conventional devices relates to the manner of guiding the paper from the paper roll to the writing surface. The means utilized in the present invention are simple, foolproof and positive.
A further disadvantage of conventional devices involves the means for placing the paper roll in position upon the paper roll support means. In the present invention a pair of spaced slots are provided at opposite ends of the paper roll support means which can accommodate one end of the paper roll shaft.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention, in its broadest aspect, constitutes a roll memorandum device which comprises, in combination, a body having a forwardly disposed table portion having a writing surface thereupon. The body also has a paper supply support portion adjacent (preferably behind) the table portion. A feed shaft is disposed beneath the table portion (preferably transversely). Paper feed means (preferably a pair of spaced feed rollers) are connected to the feed shaft. A horizontally disposed spring loaded holding member is disposed above the table portion and is biased toward the paper feed means so that selective portions of the paper supply are disposed between the paper feed means and the holding member so as to produce positive feeding of the paper supply.
Optionally, also, handle means are disposed upon the paper roll support, means are disposed upon the paper roll support which are operatively connected with the first feed shaft so that rotation of the paper roll support will rotate the first feed shaft, and a pair of slots are provided laterally with respect to said paper roll support to provide for a simple and foolproof manner of replacing paper rolls when necessary.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION BY REFERENCE TO THE DRAWINGS The roll memorandum device 11 of this invention is formed with a body 12 having a forwardly disposed table portion 13 thereupon. Portion 13 bears a writing surface 14 thereupon. A paper roll support portion 15 is disposed behind the table portion 13. Paper roll support portion 15 is also formed with two pairs of spaced slots 16-17 at opposite sides thereof. A shaft member 19 is disposed across support portion 15 and a paper roll 20 is carried by shaft 19.
A handle element 21 is disposed on one side of paper roll support portion 15. Handle element 21 bears a projecting portion 22 thereupon having grip elements 40. Handle element 21 also has an arcuate slot 46 therewithin and a projection 47 formed within lower element 48 normally rides within slot 46. Handle element 21 also bears aninwardly projecting portion 49 (FIG. 1) which is provided with an opening 50 therewithin. An intermediate member 64 lies beneath handle element 21. Member 64 is provided with an opening 65 therewithin and an arcuate raceway over which handle element 21 is guided. Ratchet element 51 bears a projecting portion 52 which is adapted to be accommodated within opening 50. Portion 52 and opening 50 bear mating shoulder portions 54 and 55 (FIG. 6) so that the turning of members 21 and 51 will be simultaneous.
Members 21 and 51 also bear mating openings within which a screw 53 is disposed to hold the parts together.
Handle element 21 also bears a pair of spaced holding portions 42 and 420 at its inner face. A spring 18 has one end 41 secured between portions 42 and 42a and its center portion 56 is disposed about portion 49 of element 21. The opposite end 57 of spring 18 is held against member 47.
Within one end of paper roll support 15 an arcuate slot 58 is provided (FIG. 3). A portion of ratchet element 51 rides within slot 58. A ratchet member 24 of ratchet element 51 is adapted to mesh with gear 25. Gear 25 is disposed upon shaft 26 which is disposed within slot 27. Gear 25 in turn is selectively adapted to mesh with gear 270 which is in turn carried on shaft 28. Gear 270 in turn meshes with gear 29 which is carried upon shaft 29a. A pair of feed rollers 30 and 31 are carried by shaft 29a and are disposed within recesses 32 and 33 provided within table portion 13.
A second shaft 34 is also provided in this structure. Shaft 34 has a spring 35 secured thereto. The central portion 59 of spring 35 is disposed about shaft 34. Shaft 34 in turn is secured within a pair of opposite downwardly depending portions 60 which are formed in holding member 61. Holding member 61 is horizontally disposed and overlies table portion 13. One end portion 62 of spring 35 lies upon shaft 29a and the opposite end portion 63 of spring 35 is secured to holding member 61. Thus holding member 61 is spring loaded and biased toward feed rollers 30 and 31.
The operation of this invention will now be explained.
A paper roll is disposed upon shaft 19. Shaft 19 is then placed between slots 16-17 at each end of the paper roll support portion of the device into place. The paper issuing from roll 20 is guided through channel 36 over paper support 37 and then over table portion 13. The paper is then placed below holding member 61 between the lower surface of member 61 and feed rollers 30 and 31.
The operator of the device can now write a memorandum upon the portion of the paper issuing from the paper roll which is disposed above the writing surface of the table portion.
When a fresh surface of paper is to be exposed the operator moves handle 22 downwardly. This moves gear into contact with gear 26 and thus causes feed rollers and 31 to grip the paper in contact with these rollers and to move it forwardly. Release of handle 22 will cause it to move upwardly because of the pressure of the spring to which it is operatively connected and also will release gear 25 from contact with gear 26. Thus a new forward movement can be initiated. It is also to be noted that rollers 30 and 31 are constantly urged against the abutting surface of the paper roll while the forward movement takes place. Thus constant and positive feed of the paper is performed.
lt is also important to note the optional offset position of the paper roll member as shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings. in the preferred modifications of this invention the paper roll shaft 19 is not designed to be placed on the exact center point of the sides of the paper roll support portion but is offset from the center point and slightly behind the true center point. This permits room to be provided within the paper roll support portion for the operating mechanism of ratchet member, etc.
The foregoing sets forth the manner in which the ob jects of this invention are achieved.
