COPY-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,863, dated November 14, 1893.
I Application filed August 18, 1893. Serial No. 483,464. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that we, WILLIAM A. BRAM- LETTE and WILLIAM H. EVANS, citizens of the United States, residing at Bonham, in the county of Fannin and State of Texas, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Gopy-Holders; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Our invention relates to an improved copyholder, more especially designed for typewriting machines, of any of the prevalent forms, and it has for its object to facilitate the holding of the copy; also to aid the reader or operator to readily retain his place, in reading the copy line by line, in the usual way, to insure accuracy in copying the same;
also to provide for its adaptation to the machine, irrespective of the size of the latter; and the invention consists of the novel combination and arrangement of parts, including their construction, substantially as hereinafter more fully disclosed and pointed out inv the claims.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a side elevation of ourimproved copy-holder for type-writing machines, as applied for use. Fig. 2 is a broken, partly sectional view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the copy-holder proper.
In the embodiment of our invention, we provide a case or closure A open at its rear side, preferably, consisting of a base a, endportions a secured to said base, a curved metal top-portion a secured upon said end portions as shown, among other Ways, and the similar front portion a anchored, or otherwise secured, in said base, and having its upper edge standing slightly, or a short distance, away from the lower front edge of the top-portion (1*, thus providing a slot or opening a, thereat, for the passage therethrough of the paper or copy, as indicated in dotted lines, in Fig. 3.
Arranged within the closure or'casing A, are the paper or copy feeding rolls 1) b, the
paper or copy being, passed and held, therebetween, said rolls being mainly of wood and covered preferably with rubber for the purpose, as well understood, of producing the requisite friction to aid the feedingof the interposed paper or copy as the rolls are actuated or turned. The journals of these rolls bear in slots b in the end-portions a, of the case or closure A, the upper journals having follower-blocks c resting thereon, and upon these blocks or followers is exerted the action of springs d held in place, and whose tension can be regulated, by set or adjusting hind, and is stopped just above, said straight-- edge by accordingly controlling the movement of the rolls, the next or succeeding line ofthe copy remaining, in the mean time, unexposed.
To provide for adjustably supporting the case or closure A in an elevated position and .conveniently to the operator or reader, legs or standards 0 0, having upper right-angled portions 0' O, are employed, said right-angled portions 0 0' having slots 0' therein, through which are inserted adjusting or set screws 0 adjustably connecting the legs to said case. The legs o-rstandards when extended as indicated in dottedlines, in Fig. 1, rest upon the floor, but'when' constructed as shown in full lines, they have connected to .them the angle-arms O of brackets G adapted, preferably as shown, for connection to the base of the type-writer, they being provided with set or holding screws g for that purpose.
The legs or standards 0 and the arms O of the brackets G areprovided with longitudinal slots 0 c 0 respectively; and engaging the slots are set or holding screws 0 to .provide for the requisite adj ustment of the parts ICO to accommodate the copy-holder to the convenienceof the operator. V v
The arms 0 are adj nstably connected together by the sectional cross-bar consisting of the sections D, D, one having a set screw 61' engaging a slot d in the other section to provide, with the set screw and slot arrangement 0 c aforesaid, for the accommodation or adjustment of the parts or legs and brackets to difierent sized machines.
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is' r 1. The combination, with a copy-holder, of the legs or standards having right angled upper end-portions provided with slots and adjn'sting screws engaging said slots and connecting said upper end-portions to the case of the copy-holder, substantially as specified.
2. The combination, with a copy-holder, of
the legs orstandards having adj nstable connection with the case of said copy-holder and connected together by a cross bar consisting of adjustable'section, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with a copy holder, of
the legs or standards connected thereto and
