EDUCATIONAL DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 663,287, dated December 4, 1
Application filed November 18,1899. Serial No. 737,542. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS L. MARTIN, residing at Lewisburg, in the county of Logan and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Educational Device, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improved educational device and is adapted for use in teaching writing, spelling, arithmetic, the fundamental principles of languages, or anything else that can be taught by copy.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple form of device which can be manipulated by a scholar under the direction of a teacher and one in which the copy will be placed in front of the pen or pencil.
The construction and operation of the device or apparatus are as follows.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a top plan view, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
In constructing the device I employ a stand or frame A, composed of the side pieces a, connected by cross-rods a and a and said rod 0. also acts as a hinge-rod for connecting the frame Awith the forward section B, comprising the side pieces I) and connecting-rods b and h The side pieces a are formed with curved seats a in which rests a cylinder 0, and passing through said cylinder is a shaft D, upon which is wound the ribbon E, upon which the copy is written.
The shaft D is operated by means of a crank F, and carried upon said shaft outside the cylinder is a gear-wheel G, which meshes with another gear H, mounted upon the end of a shaft H, journaled in bracket 72., projecting rearward from the side pieces a. The ribbon passes out through an opening cin the front of cylinder and then forward and downward between the rods 1) and b and around the roller 1) on rod b then back under rod a and cylinder over a roller K, and is wound upon a spool H mounted on shaft H. The roller K is mounted on a shaft is, journaled in bracket It, extending from the sides a. By
turning the crank F the shafts D and H are revolved, and as the ribbon is Wound upon one it is unwound from the other, and the bars I) and Z) and roller K act as tension devices to keep the copy taut.
A small box or receptacle L is mounted upon the cross-rod a and in which pens, pencils, and sundries may be kept. Guide-disks M M are mounted upon a shaft m, journaled between the sides Z), and similar disks N N are mounted at the ends of the rollers K and H the purpose of said disks being to keep the ribbon straight as it is wound from one roller to the other.
The slate, tablet, or sheet to be written upon is slid beneath the roller I), mounted upon rod b and as the portion B is pivoted to the portion A said part B will move upward sufficiently to acom modate a thick or thin slate or tablet. The roller thus always rests and presses upon the slate-frame and assists in holding it fixed in place. The pupil may place the Writing-point inside the roller b and it will thus be noted that the copy is directly in front of the writing point, while the roller b serves as a hand-rest. When one line is finished, the slate, tablet, or sheet can 4 be pushed under the roller 19 and another line written.
A device of this kind. saves a teacher a great deal of time and trouble, as one teacher can direct one hundred pupils to turn to a certain line or page and copy the same, and it will only be necessary for the teacher to inspect the work.
While teaching writing Various studiessuch as spelling, arithmetic, and grammar can also be taught, since a person constantly copying a number of words or examples in arithmetic will be impressed with the manner of spelling and the rule for doing said examples.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An educational device comprising a main frame, ribbon -winding rollers which are geared together, asupplemental frame hinged to said main frame, so that it may be raised as required, and having guide-rods arranged at its front end, one being higher than and in rear of the other, and a ribbon passing over said rolls and back to the winding-rollers, substantially as shown and described.
2. An educational device comprising the frame, a cylinder fixed therein and having a lengthwise slot in its front side, a rotatable crank-shaft passing axially through said cylinder, a roller arranged parallel to said shaft, and meshing gears operatively connecting the cylinder and shaft, guide-rods arranged in the front portion of the frame, and a ribbon wound on the shaft and roller, and passing intermediately over said rods, as shown and described.
3. The educational device comprising the main frame adapted to rest upon a Hat surface, the ribbon-winding shaft and roller arranged therein, and the supplemental 0r movable frame hinged to the main frame and having guide-rods, one of which is located at
