TYPE-WRITER ATTACHMENT- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented an. 1, 1907.

. Application filed December 13, 1905. Serial No. 291,616.

To all whor it. inn/y concern/l Be it knownthat I, ROY W. SooGGIN, a citizen of the United-States'of America, ref

-' siding at Millin ton, in the county of Ken- ]dall and State o Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Typ'e.- Writer "Attachments, of which, the following is .a

specification.

This invention relates to paper-roll-supporting attachments for type-writers, and is designed to provide a simple, inexpensive,

and effective construction of roll-supporting While the device may be employed for sup means which is readily applicable to different makes of type-Writers-and is ada ted to exert the proper tension-upon the roll whilesu porting the same'in position to prevent t e too rapid feed of paper therefrom and is also adapted to permit .of'the reversal of the roll for the rewindin ofan unused portion of the" strip unwound t erefrom when occasion reuires.

* porting a roll of paper of any kind to enable a table;4, one of the spring-clasps for holding continuous sheetof paper to be fed to the "platen of the type-writer, it is primarily designed for supportingand feeding-a contine nous strip of paper divided by perforated or weakening lines at intervals to form checks or drafts an stubs therefor, so that the era tion of making. out a large number of'c ecks and stubs relating thereto may be conveniently and expeditiously performed.

, In theacc'omipranyin'g drawings, Figure l'is a section fromwriter carriage equipped with my invention,

out to rear through a typethe carriage shown eing of that ty pe-used R ferring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the frame of thecarriage of a typewritin machine ;'2, the platen or feed-roll carrie thereby; 3, the paper-guide or feedthe paper pressed against the feed-roll, and the pressure-rollers, .the construction shown being that employed in the carriage 'of the Oliver machine.

I do not limit the invention, however, to

use in connection withthis particular type ofmachine, as its construction is such as to adapt it by slight changes in form or arrangement for app 'catiori to the carriages o a 'therefrom' to exert the Fig. 2 is a rear- ,num'b'er of the 'type writer machines now in common use.

' The carriage is provided at its rear and beneath the table3 with a cross bar or rod 6, to which the improved roll-su porting attachment is a plied. This attac merit comprises a rod or shaft -7,- to which is fixed a roll-core 8, made of wood or' any other suitable material, the ends of the shaft bein extemhed beyond the core and provided with knobs or handles 9' to enable it to beconvenie'ntly rotated. The shaft is supported by a wire' frame formed of a'looped piece of wire, the end portions of the wire providing standards 10, bent at their up er free ends to form bearing-eyes 11, in w 'ch the ends of the shaftare jourconvenient passa e of screws or other fasteniangs to secure t e frame to the cross rod or The roll of paper 16 is wound'about the core Sand is supported by the attachment below the upper end of the feed-table 3, as shown in Fig. 1, and'the pressure-rod 12 is so arranged asto bear against the rear surface of the roll at the point where the paper feeds pressure to hold the roll tion. v

y In the present instance I have shown the roll in the form of a continuous stri divided at intervals by transverse rows 0 erforations or weakening lines 17 to provi e alternately-arranged portions 18 and 1 9,which may be properly printed to form a series of detachable stubs and checks. 4

In-operation the free end of the strip of paper is unwoundfrom the roll and extended own over the feed-table 3 and engaged with the feedingl roll 2 of the carria' e, so that the strip. may e continuously fed I orward in the iproper' tension or om too free rotaoperation of the machine. As the paperis fed forward the stub 18' ofv the first check will be fed into position'and may be filled out b type-writing thedesired matter thereon after which the check 19 is fed forward an filled out through the action of the machine, with the exce tion of the line for the signature of thccas 'er or treasurer, and this operation. is carried out continuously until the desired number of checks have been pre ared. The filled-out checks and stubs may t en be detached on the perforated lines and signed,

preserving a record of the checks made out andfor posting the same to aregister or ledger. I

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- A paper-roll-holding attachment for type- 1 writers comprising a sup orting-frame formed of wire, sald frame elng bent to form a pressure-rod adapted to bear longitudinally upon the roll, spring-arms depending from the ends of the pressure-rod, and stand-- ards extending upwardly from the lower ends of the arms and arranged in divergent relation thereto, the upper ends of the standards being bent to form bearings for the shaft of the 'roll and the arms and standards bent to produce attaching portions at their points of junction, whereby the frame may be attached to the carriage of a type-writing machine.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ROY W. SCOGGIN.
