Patented. July 17, 1906.

lApplioation filed J1me 6,1905. Serial No. 263,758.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ENGLAND J BARKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Morgan Park, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Writing Machines, of:'which the iollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to feed the platen of a type-Writing machine with pa er from'a continuous roll and do this in sue a way that the reciprocal platen-carrier will not have to support the weight of said roll or in such a manner -that the manipulation or operation of the machine will bemoredifficult. This I accomplish by the means hereinafter more fully described and as particu! larly pointed out in the claims.

In the'drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a type-Writing. machine from which most of the parts not 006 erative with my invention are removed. ig"; 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof. Fig. 4 is a diagrammatical view in T e drawings illustrate my invention'as a plied to a well-known type-writing ma c e now extensively in use; but it will be readily perceivedthat my improvements can be used in connection with any make of typeplaten.

In the drawings, A represents the supporting-frame of the maclnne, B the reciprocal carriage, and C the cylindrical laten suitably journaled in the ends of s'ai carriage. I Secured to and projecting horizontally I from the rear of'the carriage, preferably near one end and at right ang)es to the axis of the platen,is a guiding-arm For conyenience of construction I prefer to secure the arm D to its support by means of a; screw-plate d, and as the rear part of thecarriage to which this screw-plate is fastened is below the horizontal plane in-which the engaged portion of said arm is arranged said arm extends ver tically fromits screw-plate a short distance and then horizontally to the rear, as stated..

Near the other endof'the platen another guiding-arm E is secured tc/the rear of the carriage in a similar manner by means of a screw-plate, e. This arm extends vertically slightly above t from its screw-plate to a horizontal plane at occupied by 'arm' D, and then extends obliquely, referably at an angle of about forty-five egress, horizontally 'course, so that'it leaves said arm E a horizontal railsor bars at, from the center of length of which suitable bearing-studs F and G project horizontally to the rear; These studs are of sui'ficient length for rolls of paper H- and I to be journaled thereon, and

their rear endsare threaded and have washers' f and nuts 9 mounted thereon for retaining the rolls in place. The webs of paper from these rolls extend in a vertical'direction to and around the overhanging horizontal portion of arm D, and then horizontally in a transverse'direction to, under, andqaround arm E, which latter being arranged obliquely to the path of the web of paper changes its proximately at right'angles to the directlon the web moved between arms D and E. From arm E the pa er extends to and under the platen O in t e usual manner, where it is manipulated the same as sheets of paper used in the type-writing machine now onthe market.

The operation of my invention is ap arent from the foregoing description. As t e carriage is reciprocated a slight slackness of the Webs of (pa er will be apparent between therolls an t e iding-arm D E. This will not interfere, operationof the invention, althou h it will be evident that this slackness, if 0 jected to, may be taken up by mechanical expedients well known to a skilled workman. 1

I do not desire to be confined to the employment of two rolls of aper, because, if desired, one roll only nee be employed, or, if desired, more than two rolls might be emoWever, with the successful ployed. This would simply re ulre the use platen journaled therein, and means on and projectmgfrom the rear of said carriage for changing the course of the web of paper from said-roll and'fe'eding it to said'platen always at the same angle to the axis.
