TYPE-WRITING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 668,571, dated February 19, 1901. Application led June 21, 1900. Serial No. 213034. (No model.)

T a/ZZ whom t may con/cern:

Be it known that I, WALTER J. BARRON, al citizen of the United States, and a resident off the borough of Brooklyn, city of New York, in the conntyof Kingsand State of NewYork,

have invented certain new and useful Im-v provements in Type Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The object of 'the present invention is to4 lo provide a tabulating mechanism for type, writing and Yother machines which shall be. made of few parts and readily placed upon existing machines and which shall enable the operator by a simple manipulation to rex5 lease the paper orother carriage and move it rapidly to a point for beginning the writing of a number of any desired denomination.

The invention consists of certain features of construction, combinations of devices, and 2o arrangements of parts, all as will be more fully hereinafter Yset forth, and particularly pointed out in the concluding claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of the top portion of a Remington No. type-writing machine provided with a tabulating mechanism in accordance with my invention and showing the parts in normal position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, of said type writing and 5o tabulating mechanism and also showing the parts in normal position. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a denomination-key in working posit-ion, the devices upon which it is mounted being shown in section. Fig. 4 is a plan '35 view of the platen-carriage and tabulating devices. Fig. 5 is an elevation taken on the line a: of Fig. 4 and looking forwardly, the parts being shown as adjusted to the hundred-thousand position. Fig. 6 is a detail 4o view illustrating the manner of 'releasing the column-stop from engagement with the teeth provided upon the column-stop bar. Fig. 7 is a perspective View showing 'the method of attaching to the column-stop bar a short rack by which the said bar may be adjusted endwise.

In the several views parts are omitted or broken away to more clearly exhibit the invention, and similar parts are designated by o similar numerals of reference.

1 indicates a top plate or type-ring, and 2 a carriage having guide-rolls 3, which run upon a rail 4, and also having an arm 5, which engages a sliding collar 6 upon a rail 7, said rails being supported upon standards 8 rising from the top plate. The carriage is connected to a spring-drum 9 by an arm 10 and a strap l1 and is connected to an escapement or letter-feeding wheel 12 by a shaft, (arranged in housing 13,) a pinion 14, and a rack 15, the latter being mounted on arms 16, which are hinged to the carriage at 17. To the upper ends of apair of arms 18, pivoted upon the carriage in front of the rail 4,

Vis hinged at 19 a rectangular platen frame or carriage, which is generally designated as 20, and comprises front bar 20a, rear bar 2l, and end bars 22 and 23, and which is also provided with a front roll 24, running upon a shift-rail 25, and also carries a cylindrical vplaten26, whose shaft or axle 27 is journaled in said end bars and is provided with fingerwheels 28.

The foregoing devices, as well as others which it is not necessary to illustrate, are well known in the Remington No. 6 typewriting machine.

Upon a bar 29 is supported asetof columnstops 30, the upper end of each stop hooking over the top edge of the bar and the lower end thereof projecting considerably below the bar, and each stop being also provided both with a rearwardly-projecting tooth 3l forengaging a set ofteethjor rack 32, formed or provided upon the lower edge of said bar, and also with a curved spring 33, the lower end whereof is fastened to the stop and the upper end whereof bears against the rear verltical face of the bar and serves to hold the tooth in engagement with the rack. The lower end of the stop may be drawn forward toldisengage the tooth, Fig. 6, and the stop may be then adjusted to any desired position along said bar by reference to a scale 34, provided upon the front face thereof and corresponding to the usual carriage-scale 34a, and may then be released, whereupon the tooth 31 will snap into engagement with the rack.

The column -stop bar 29 is supported by means of screws 35 upon horizontal studs 36,

IOO

projecting forwardly from the longitudinal front bar 37 of a U frame or bail, the Side arms 38 39 whereof are pivoted upon the platen-shaft, so as to permit the bail to be swung downwardly to bring the column-stops into position for engaging an upwardly-projecting stop 40, which latter is carried by an arm 41, secured upon the top plate 1 by screws 42, and has a broad working face to accommodate the capital-shift movement of the platen-frame. Each of the side arms 38 39 is prolonged at 43 to extend beneath arms or extensions 44, formed upon the rack-bar 15 of the carriage-feeding mechanism, whereby upon the depression of said bail the devices 43 lift the feed-rack ont of engagement with the pinion 14, thus releasing the carriage, which is moved rapidly to the left by its spring-drum 9 until arrested b y engagement of a column-stop with the fixed stop 40.

The screws 35 are shouldered and engage longitudinal slots 45, formed in said columnstop bar near its ends, whereby the bar is enabled to have a limited independent endwise movement or adjustment upon said depressible frame, such movement being imparted thereto by means of a short horizontal rack 46, secured by screws 47 upon the rear face of a short angle-bar 48, which is secured by screws 49 to the rear vertical face of said column-stop bar, Said rack being driven by a spur-wheel 50, arranged over and in engagement with said rack and fixed upon the forward end of a horizontal shaft 51, which is journaled in the bar 37 about midway of its length. To the rear end of said shaft is rigidly secured by a screw 52 a pinion 53, which meshes with a gear 54, formed or provided upon a diagonally-extending lever 55, pivoted at its right-hand end at 56 upon the rear face of the bar 37 and having a linger-piece 57,so that by a depression of said lever the pinion 53 and spur-wheel 50 may be rotated, cansing a rectilinear movement of both the rack 46 and the column-stop bar 29 toward the left or in the direction of the letter-space move: ment of the carriage. A diagonally-extending rod or shaft 58 is fixed in ears 59, projecting rearwardly from the lever 55 at its left-hand portion, and independently-movable keys (50, which are`marked with numbers or letters to indicate various denominations, are pivot-ally mounted along said rod, a collar or lateral hub l and a downwardlyextending stop or contact 62 being provided upon each key and a retin-ning-sprng 63 being coiled around each collar.

In operation the posilions of the columns upon the page may be predetermined by the stops 30, which are successively swung forward out of engagement with the teeth 32, Fig. (i, and adjusted along the bar 29 by reference to the scale 34, the spring 33 causing the stop-tooth 31 to snap into rengagement when the stop is let go. Then the particular key 60 which corresponds to the denomination of the number to be written is pressed rearwardly to swing the contact 62 thereon (which is normally out of line with or in rear of the bar 37) forwardly into a position over the bar 37. The lever 55 is depressed and through 'the gears 54, 53, 50, and 46 imparts a sliding end wise movement to the bar 29 until said lever and bar are arrested by the engagement of said contact 62 with the top edge of the bar 37, Figs. 3 and 5, at which time the longitudinal adjustment of the columnstop bar 29 will correspond to the denomination indicated by the selected key 60. A further depression of the key 57 causes the entire columnstop-bar frame to swing downwardly about the platen-axle, bring the column-stops down into a position for engaging the abutment 40, and through the arms 43 lifting the rack 15 out of engagement with the pinion 14, thus freeing the carriage and enabling it to move along rapidly under the influence of its spring-drum 9 until arrested by the contact of a column-stop with the said abutment 40. Upon the key 57 being released froin pressure the columnstop frame is raised by a spring 64, which is coiled around the left-hand platen-hub and bears upwardly at its rear end against the under side of the platen-frame and at its forward end against a projection 65, provided upon the bail-frame 38, thus permitting the rack 15 to drop into rengagement with lthe pinion 14 and.disen gaging the columnstop 30 from the abutment 40. A draw-spring 66, one end of which is connected to the right-hand stud 36 and the other end of which is caught over a projection upon the plate 48, serves to slide the column-stop bar reversely, thereby rotating the gears 50 and 53 to lift the lever 55 to normal position. The tension of the spring (5G should be relatively weaker than that of the spring 64, so as to insure the rengagement of rack 15 with pinion 14 before the columnstop bar is retracted. After the type-keys (not shown) are operated to write the desired n unlber the foregoing operation is repeated in order to bring the carriage to the proper denominational position for beginning the writing of the desired number in the next column, and so on. It will be understood that the con tacts 62 are of such length and are so arranged with reference to the axis 56 of the lever as to enable a step-by-step adjustment of the lever, and hence a corresponding endwise adjustment of the column-stop bar through one or more complete letter-space intervals, or, in other words, said lever and column-stop bar may be simultaneously adjusted through any one of a number of predetermined intervals, the movement of the bar being equal to one, two, three, four, live, six, seven, or eight complete letter-spaces, according to the denomination-key selected. To illustrate, if it be desired to write lthe number 314,000 the second key from the left at Fig. 1 or from the right at Fig. 5 is pressed, the nger-piece 57 is pushed down as far as it will go, and the carriage being thereby released is advanced rapidly until arrested by contact of a column-stop with the abutment 40, when said' IIO It Will be observed that the independently- I actuable denomination keys are operatively connected both to the carriage-releasing mechanism and to the stops 30, the con tacts 62 mechanically limiting the movement or determining the extent of adjustment of said stops, as Well as of the bar 29 and lever 55, and also enabling the lever 35 to depress the column-stop frame. Said lever or the key 57 thereon is used to move said bar 29 end- Wise and transversely and also to operate the carriage-releasing mechanism, all of said operations being performed simultaneously by a single downward stroke of said lever or key. Hence the mechanism which releases the carriage from the control of its escapement mechanism isv itself controlled by the same means or devices which serve to adjust a stop 30 to different denominational positions.

It will be seen that I have contrived a tabulating mechanism which is simple in construction and operation,inexpensive to manufacture, and which can be adapted readily to existingtypes of machines. Parts of the improvements may be used without others, and many changes may be made in the details of construction and arrangement within the scope ofthe invention.

Although I have illustrated the invention in connection With a type-Writing machine, yet certain of my improvements are also applicable to adding-machines in which it may be desirable to move a carriage quickly to diiferent denominational positions.
