i To @ZL w/tom/ t wmyconcern:

Be it known that we, `Lows. P.r Diss and States, and residents of Ilion, in the county of i f5` Herkimer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification. f

This inventionrelates to tabulating mechanisms oi' writing-machines, and more particularly to that class of tabulators in which at the operation of a denomination-key a stop corresponding thereto is projected and the l paper-carriageis also automatically released i IS and permitted to run down under the tension of the usual carriage-spring until arrested by said projected stop at a point where the wrlting of a number having the denomination of i the operated key may be begun. In using 120 machines of this class operatorssometimes fail to hold the denomination-key in Working position until the' completion of 4:the runl of the carriage, particularly `when there is' a long jump or gap Abetween columns, and in conse-v i l 2 5 quence the carriage is prematurely rengaged to its lettenfeeding devices and arrested therel by,` sothat the succeeding number is written y `The main object of the present invention is 1` `3o to produce a machine inwhich a single stroke of the selected key insures that the carriage u shall run -to the next column and be arrested at the exact point for writing anumber of the denomination denoted by said key without i any attention on the part of the operator beyond merely pushing the key to working position, so that while the `carriage is running f1 i "he is atflibcrtyto move his hands into posi- .p tion to begin promptly the wri ting of the number, whereby he is relieved of care and liabil- In the accompanying'drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section taken longitudinally of a' Remington No.. 6` type-writing machine and showing our Improvements applied theretofff all of the parts being illustrated in normal position. Fig. 2 is a rear view, and Fig. 3 a plan, of the machine. Fig. l1 is a front eleva'- tion of a double comb for the denominationstops, one of the latter being drawn in crosssection. Fig. f5 is a cross-section of the double comb shown at Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a bottom edge view of the u per comb, and Fig. 7 is-a top edge vi'ew of t ve lower comb illustrated at Figs. 4 and 5. Fig. 8 is a side view of the upper portion of a denomination-stop lever. Figs. et to 8, inclusive, are drawn upon an enlarged scale. Fig 9 is a Afront edge view of the upper portion ofv a denomination-stoplever, the stop .itself being shown in crosssection. Fig. 10 is a plan showing a portion of the denomination-stops, whereof one is prov'jected and caught by an adjacent tooth of the uppercomb, the latter being shown in horizontal section. Fig. 11 is a plan showing a column-stop, a fragment of its supportingrack, and a denomination-stop engaged by the column-stop and released thereby from its detaining eombvtooth. Fig. 12 is a view similar to Fig. 10, but showing only one denomination-stop and its associated comb-tooth or detent. Fig. 13 is a fragmentary front elevation showing in cross-section a locked denomination-stop and a moving column-stop contacting therewith. upon a greatly-enlarged scale.

1n the several views portions are omitted or broken away to disclose the inventionl more clearly, and similar parts are designated byl similar numerals of reference.

Figs. 9 to 13 are drawn The writing-machine comprises a rectangul controlled by a feeding-dog 22 4and a detentdog 23, both carried upon the upper end of a dog-rocker 24, pivoted at 25 in a bracket 26, depending from the top plate and having forwardly-extending arms 27 which support,v

by means of hooks 28, a universal bar 29, that extends across the machine beneath the key-levers. The advance movements of the carriage are effected by a propelling-spring carried in a barrel 30, which is connected by a' strap 3l to a hook 32, depending from the carriage.

Column-stops 33, which areof substantially the construction set forth and claimed in the pendin application of L. P. Diss, Serial No. 1,181,i ed January 12,1900, are disposed along a column-stop rack 34, which extends parallel with the platen 7 or in the direction of the run of the paper-carriage and is, adjustably secured by screws 35 upon the rear ends of a pair of arms 36, said screws passing up through slots 37, formed in said arms, and being tapped into the end portions of said rack 34, and said arms projecting rearwardly from a bar 38, which is attached, by means of a pair of downwardly-bent ears 39 and nuts 40, to the axles 41 of the carriage-guiding rolls 13. These axles are tapped' at their forward ends into the front portions of wheel-boxes 42, and the ears 39 are clamped by said 'nuts 40 against collars 43, arranged upon said axles between said ears 39 and said boxes 42. The arms 36, bar 38, and ears 39 may be formed in one pieceand are preferably stamped from sheet metal, thus making a light and stili frame.

Denomination-stops 44, arranged at letterspace intervals and placed sufiiciently in rear of the column-stop rack 34 to clear the column-stops 33, are carried by the upper ends of vertically-disposed levers 45 of the first order, which work upon a common transverse fulcrum-rod 46 and at their lower ends are provided with horizontal push-rods 47, whichl extend forwardly beneath the base l and carry at their front ends keys 48. Said fulcrumrod 46 is supported'at its ends in averticallyarranged cast frame, which comprises a pair of side bars 49, extending up in rear of the type-writer frame, a cross-bar 51, bearingv upon the top of the rear portion of thebase 1, and lower edge of the rear wall of the base. Setscrews 53 are tapped into bosses 54, formed at the/junction of the bar 52 with the side arms 49, and bear up against the lower edge of said rear wall of the base, so as tocoperate with the bar 51 to clamp the frame upon said base. Ears 55 project forwardly ing or springing.

a cross-bar 52, jutting beneath the from a third cross-bar 56, which joins said side arms 49 about midway between the fulcrum-rod 46 and the denomination-stops 44, and are clamped by a screw 57 to an ear 58, depending midway from a yoke or bar 59, which is hinged at 60 upon the rear carriage-rail 16 and fits closely between the standards or supports 17, the left-hand support 17 constituting an abutment for the yoke and which takes the force of the impact of the carriage when it is arrested by the tabulating-stops. Said yoke 59 is capable of a turning movement upon the said rail 16, and hence for assembling purposes affords a vertically movable or adjustable support for the upper end of said denominationstop-lever frame, the fixed vertical position of the latter being determined by its attachment to the type-writer base and said yoke 59 being then rocked upon the rail 16 until the perforations in the ears 58 and 55 register, whereupon the two devices are clamped together by the screw 57, whereby the lever-'frame may be readily secured in place and rigidly supported at its upper end and enabled to receive the shock of arresting the carriage without yield- The side bars 49 may be further connected by'forward and rear plates 61 and 61, attached by screws `62 to ears 63, formed upon said arms, said plates serving also to retain a set of squared separators or spacing-plates 61", placed between the stoplevers upon the fulcrum-rod 46. Said separators may be formed integrally with the forward plate 61a and at their rear ends may iit in notches 61, cut in the forward side of the rear plate 61, thus forming rigid lateral supports for the fulcrum or hub portions of the stop-levers.

The difference between the width of the set of denomination-stops and that of the set of ldenomination-keysis compensated partly by fanning the stop-levers 45 at their lower ends, as illustratedat Fig., 2, and partly'by fanning the key-rods 47, as at Fig. 3. The divergng ends of said levers 45 are guided in slots 64, cut in a rearwardly-jutting portion of the lange 52. By means of bent lingers 65 the pushrods detachably engage perforations 66 in said levers 45, the connection being maintained by yieldingkeepers 67. The forward ends of said key-rods are guided in perforations formed in a verticalange 68, depending from a longitudinal bracket 69, clamped by screws 70 along thelower edge of the front wall of thc base, said bracket being also provided with a bevel-face, upon which is arranged a plate 71, labeled witha series of numbers indicating the denominations of the underlying keys.

A carriage-releasing bar 72, arranged transversely in front of the upper portions of the stop-levers 45, is carried by a pair of vertical rocker-arms 73, which are pivoted at their lower ends upon shoulder-screws 74, tapped Vinto the side bars 49 of the stop-lever frame.

Upon thil left-hand rocker-arm 73 is formed a IOO l .l forwardly-projecting arm or.A lever 75, carrying an adjustable screw 76, adapted to depress if "91o,

` ject forwardly from the upper ends thereof,`

the rear end of a forwardly-extending releaselever 7 7, which is pivoted between its ends at i 78upon a fixed bracket 79 and is provided ,j i at its forward end with a head 80, adapted to i lift the carriage-feed rack 19 out of mesh with its pinion 20. The denomination-stops" v44, which are formed integrally upon the levers 45and prowork in a guide-comb comprising an upper set of teeth 81 and a lower set 82, the upper `set-being" formed upon a transverse plate 83 `and engaging the top edges of the denominai tion-stops, the lower set beingformed upon a plate 84 and engaging the lower edges'of said denomination-stops, and said plates being secured at their ends by screws 85 to forwardlyy `projecting lugs 86, cast upon the upper ends of the lever-frame. Said stops are made thin in order to provide room for the intervening comb-teeth 81 and are increased in width or 1 height, so as to insure sufficient strength to withstand the shock of arresting the carriage, while they are supported at their top and botf tom edges by the guide-comb,iso as to prevent The forward edge of and bottom edges may be eut upon lines sub- Upon the right-hand side of each denomimnation-stop and in rear of the comb-plate83 are cut forward and rear locking-notches 87 and 88, The lower portions of the upper comb-teeth are beveled at 89, so as to. match Nsaid notches,.and the abrupt forward faces of said teeth 81 are adapted to engage the abrupt `portions of the notches when the stops are projected forwardly, so as to prevent return movement of the latter.

The tips of the teeth r 81,1nay also be beveled at90, so as to permit them to lit more fully and securely in the shallow denomination-stop notches, which are eut upon a double bevel, as will be understood l y by comparing Figs. 8 and 12. Before assemblage the upper portion of each of the levers 45 is bowed slightly toward the right, as-illus- `trated at Fig. 9so that it is necessary to f spring them slightly to the left in order to introduce the stops between the comb-teeth,

` said `tee-th being in register with the spacingplates 61b at the lever-hubs. By this means y lthe levers are given a natural or inherent spring tension toward the right, whereby the denomination-stops when projected forwardly `are caused to snap into lateral engagement with the comb-teeth or detents 81, thus locking the stops against backward movement.

`1n operation after setting the column-stops "at the desired points along the rack 34 a key 48 of the selected denomination is pushed rearwardly and by means of rod 47 swings its y the denomination-stop 'lever 45.

lever 45 upon the axis 46, the stop.44 carried at the upper end of said lever being projected forwardly into the path of the column-stops 83. The stroke of the lever and key is limited by a shoulder 94, which is formed i upon the top ofthe lever and contacts with the rear face of the comb 83, while at the same time, owing to the lateral tension of the upper arm of the lever 45, the rear notch 88 thereon is caused to snap into engagement with its associated detent or comb-tooth 81, as illustrated at Fig. 10, thus locking the denomination-stop in working position. The release-bar 72 is also borne forwardly by said stop-lever 45, and by means of the arms 7 3 and 75 and screw 76 depresses the rear end of lever 77, the forj ward end of which lifts the carriage-feed rack 19 clear of the-pinion 20, whereby the carriage is'freed from the controlv of its escapement devices and is rapidly advanced by the springbarrel 3,0 and strap 31, whereupon the succeeding column-stop 33 thereon abuts against the projected denomination-stop 44, thus a1'- resting the carriage in position to begin the writing of Va number having the selected denomination. By the impact or pressure of the -column-stop the denomination-stop is moved .whereof is attached to an adjustable collar 97,

secured upon the key-rod 47, which controls The pull of said spring is sufficient to -overcome the friction between the column-stop and the denomi- IOO IIO

ing devices and the rengagement of the carriage-feed rack- 19 with the pinion 2O under the tension of the usual rack-spring. (Not shown.)

Although a single notch 88 is suiicient for locking the denomination-stop and the carriage-releasing mechanism in operative positions, still as the carriage frequently rebounds u pon striking the denomination-stop and wou ld -of the column-stop and the carriage-releasing devices are temporarily detained in operative pos1t1on. When the carrlage recovers from the rebound and strikes the denomination-stop a second blow, the safety-notch 87 is released from the detent 81, the denomination-stop lever is returned to normal position by the spring 95, and the carriage is reconnected toy its escapement devices in position for beginning the writing of a number of a denomination corresponding to the operated key- 48. Inasmuchas a second rebound is' not apt to occur it 'is not deemed necessary to provide a second safety-notch. The carriage thus having been positioned, the type-keys are operated and through the leversiand links cause the type-bars 6 to impress the desired number upon the paper, each'key movement also causing a movement of the universal bar 29 andv next column, and 'so on.'

The teeth 81 in the upper comb are beveled in two directions to correspond with the angular notches formed in the stops, thus weakening the teeth; but in order to distribute the force of the carriage impact between the upper and lower comb-teeth in proportion to their strength we form upon each of the stops 44 a small rib 98, which is located Vnearer to the lower comb-teeth and directly receives the impactof thecarriage. The lowercomb-teeth are beveled in one direction only, thus leaving their strength unimpaired, while the lower portions of the stops are correspondingly beveled or cut away at 99, thus leaving a space between the stops and the teeth suilicient to permit the necessary lateral play of the stops.

The last column-stop in the series (shown at the right'upon the rack 34:) is provided with an elongated guard 100, having a bent inger 101 for bearing against the rear side of the rack,-.said guard extending longitudinally of the rack and preventing the projection of any vdenomination-stop when the carriage has nearly reached the end of the line of writing, so as to avoid the liability of any of said stops being accidentally projected and locked, andA consequently obstructing the return of the carriage for the beginning of a new line.

A paper-shelf 102, mounted upon the carriage, is extended rearwardly over both the column stops and denomination stops and curves downwardly and rearwardly at its rear end at 103, thus allowing the paper to hang in rear of the denomination-stop frame and avoiding the liability of catching and tearing the edges thereof.

lt will be seen that when projected each denominationstop latch is set h v a lateral movement of less than a letter-space, thus conducing to the compactness and accurate operation of the mechanism, and that a guide-comb is provided for the upper ends of the stop-carrying levers, the latter having notches which form teeth in proximity to the comb-teeth and adapted to'engage the latter, so as to detain the levers in working position, each lever having a lateral spring for this purpose. It will also be seen that each denomination-stop is further provided with. means, as the safety- ,notch 87, forchecking the return movement` thereof to normal position, said checking means also being released by the carriage, thatthe carriage first releases the stop-detaining means and subsequently releases the checking means, so that in orderfor the projected stop to return to normal position it is necessary to have arepeated impact or continued pressure of the carriage-stop against the denominationstop, and hence it is impossible for the latter to return to normal position while the carriage is rebounding. lThe said stopmust wait for a repetition of the carriage impact or pressure,

and hence must remain practically in working IOO plied to carriage-arresting devices differing widely in construction and scope of operation from those illustrated, and hence that it is not essential in so far as these features are concerned that the denomination-stops be independently movable, or that they be mounted upon the framework, or that the carriage-stop be mounted directly upon the carriage, or that means be provided for variably arresting the carriage, or that a set .of denomination-keys be employed. The devices for detaining the projected stop in working position and checking its return to normal position may be varied widely within the scope of the invention, and this feature is not limited to the use of devices'having teeth or notches nor to devices released by the impact or' the carriage-stop against the stop upon the framework, an important feature of this portion of the invention consisting in providing a stop-detaining device which cannot be released by momentary. impact of the carriage, but which must be either held or repeatedly moved to a releasing position in order to enable the return of the projected stop to normal position. @ther changes may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
