To all whom) it maycort rie 'n: I v

' Be it known that I, EMILEL GOULTRE, a

citizen of the-Republic of Franhefresiding at Alexandria, the .countyo Alexandria,

inghad to the accompanying the letters and figures of reference marked State of Virglnia, have invented certain -i-iewl; and useiiul Improvements in Tabulating Devices for Type-Writing Machines, of which the following is a description reference be-- drawing and to thereon.

My'invention relates to tabulating devices for, typewriting machines, and is articularly adapted for use in connection wit t pewriting machines of what is known as, t e Remington type. v

The-object Of'iih invention is to provide in simple and efficient form devices adapted to -be attached to a typewriting machine, or

used in connection therewith, for tabulaling work. While the invention'is particularly intended to be so constructed that it maybe readily attached to and detached froma typewriting machine, without change of such structed machine in any manner, it may. also. be con- I as a permanent part of such ma chine. I

A further object of my invention is to provide a device for tabulating purposes, in. which by single operation of a key, the car-.-, riage is released and b oughtv to 'arstop in proper-position to print the first figure of the number to be written, so that units of the lview partly in section showing the stop carried by the carriage; Fig. 5 is a perspective Y view of the stop carried the carriage; Flg. 6 is a detail VIP/W 0t the'diflerent'ial device; Fig. 7 is a detail view of the notched bar of the diflerential device; Fig. 8' is a plan view of the differential device; Fig. 9 is a'de'tail view partly in sectionshowing a1 modified form of stop bar Fig- 10 shows the. stop bar and stop in cross section and side view, and Fig. 11' shows the stop barIand washers in tail perspective view of the lever which transmits longitudinal movement'- to the tabulating stop bar. 2

Various parts are omitted or broken away in some of the views for the sake of clearness. Referringto the parts by reference numeral, 1 is the frame of a'typewriting machine of the Remington type; 2 is one of the printing keys; 3 is t e carriage; 4 the carriage rail; 5. the pinion'of. the escapement, and 6 the rack bar carried bythe carriage; 7 is the rearwardly extending arm connected with the rack which, in the typewritin machine 4 is arranged to come in contact-wit margins. stops, carried by-the'. stop bar; 8 are the In extending upward from the top late df t 6 machine 1n rear of the carriage, w 'ch, as the machine is ordinarily arranged, sup rt the stop bar and guide rod 8 (F1 2)., he construction so far described is t at'of the typewriting machines, of the ordinary Remington type, and are shown onlyso far as is necessary to enable the construction and ar rangement of my invention to be understood.

It will-be understood that the pinion 5 is part of. the carriage feeding mechanism common to the. Remington machine and that said carriage feeding mechanism is operable in a known manner by the printing keys 2 to feed thecarria'ge a letter space distance at a time in printing direction.

, for holding'the ends 0 I tion on the lugs 8, I em loy brackets 10 aving in their upper ends earings 1 1, in which is mounted. a tabulating stop bar, 12, the construction being such that the stop bar 12 may be -slid lengthwise in its bearings butmay not be rotated therein. This bar may Instead of the clamps lerdinairily elmployed. t e gui e ro in osibe a notched bar of ordinary form ada t'ed to receive colunm stops 13 as shown in ig. 4. I prefer, however, to use a column sto bar and stops of the construction indicate in i s. 9, 10 and .11, in which the. bar 12 is circ ar in cross section with ends of less diameter than its main portion with awide longitudinal notch 12, formed from end to end of the main ortion of the bar. main portion of t e bar are mounted a series of stops 13 arranged to have a limited move- 3- ment of rotation on the sto bar -to bring their projections 13f'into a out of operating posit on, This rotary movement is limcross section and side view.- Figi12 is a deitedby means of aninwardly projectinglug of the reare provide arocking member compris' 13 which extends into the notch 12, so that the sides of the notch serve as abutments to prevent the stops from being rotated except through an 'arc determined by the width of t 1e notch carried on the sto bar. Between the stops andalternating wit them throughout the length of the stop bar are laced nonrotary washers 14 having inwar ly rojecting lugs 14: whichare made of the in 1 width of the notch, thus preventing the possibility of these washers turning on the stop bar.

Secured to the rearwardlyextending arm 7 is a rearward extension '15 preferably having its rear end bent'over, as indicated at 15. A coupling member or clamp 15 C-shaped in cross section and carrying a clamping screw 15 may be employed to secure the extension, 15 to the arm 7. The con ling mem her is first arranged to embrace th ping portions of the arm 7 and extension 15, and then the screw 15 may be tightened to clam the parts together. Secured to the rear bar of the carriage 3 is an arm 16 carrying a movable sto' 17. This movable stop 17 is dpivoted at 18, to the arm 16'and is rovide in its head with a slot 19 through W 'ch pass headed screws 20 which secure it to the arm. 16 and permit it to be turned on its pivot to bring its rear end into position to strike a column stop carried by the stop bar 12. The stop has a rearwardly extending arm 21 preferably with its end bent over, as shown at 21. A spring 22 secured at one end-to the arm 16 and at its free end bearing against the rearwardly extending arm 21 serves to hold the stop 17 normally out of position to engage a column stop.

It will be understood that the extension 15 may be formed integrally with the arm 7 if preferred and the arm 16 carrying the movable stop 17 may be formed on orermanently secured to the back bar of t e carriage. In order to adapt my invention for attachment to machines now in use the extension 15a'nd the arm 16 are made detachable and the arm 16 is arranged to be adjusted by means of a slot 16 and screws 16 by which it may be secured to the back bar of the carriage.

It will be understood that the depression of the rear end of the arm 21 will cause the stop 17 to be moved into position to contact with the stop 13 and the depression of the rear end of the extension 15 will raise the rack bar 6 out of contact with the inion 5 to release the carriage and permit it to be carried forward by its feed mechanism until stopped by. the. stop 17 striking a column sto ' I or the p 'ose of efiecting the depression rid of the arm 21 and the depression of the rear' end of the extension 15, I

, a rod 24 carried by arms 25 and 26 pivote to the brackets 10, said rod being adapted to be e overlap-- moved eccentrically about "the pivots of the arms 25 and 26'. 'Said pivots are designated res ectivelyby the numerals 25 and 26. It will be noted that the bar or rod portion 24' of'the rocking member does not turn about its own longitudinal axis but turns about an axis which passes through the pivots 25 and 26. The bar or rod 24 may therefore be said to be an eccentric part, that is, a part arranged externally or eccentrically of or away from-the axis about which it turns. The lefthand arm 26, as shown inFig. 3 has a forward and downward extension 26 to the end of which is pivotally connected the upper end of an arm 27, the lower end of W ch is adjustably connected to a bar 27 extending from side to' side of the machine and pivotally connected at its ends to arms 28 pivoted at their opposite ends to clamps 29 secured to the sides of the frame 1.

In typewriting columns of numbers it is,

of course essential that units of the same order shall come in the same'vertical line and.

the first figure of the number to be written may belong to the units, tens, hundreds, or other line. It is desirable in order that units of the same order may be written-in proper line that the column stop should be so placed that it shall determine the position of the decimal point if numbers indicating dollars and cents are t bewritten or the lowest order of units, if numbers not indicating dollars and cents are to be written. In order to provide for writing the first figure of the number to be written, in proper position relative to the column stop, I have provided means for shifting the position of the stop bar and the column stops carried thereby. The means which I have provided for this purpose comprises a series of differential keys 30, preferably arranged in front of the key board and marked respectively 0,1 '(units), 10 (tens), (hundreds), 1,000 (thousands), 10,000 (ten thousands), 100,000, (hundred thousands), 1 000,000 (millions). These keys are pivoted on a-snaft 31 carried by clamps 32 secured te -side of the frame 1 and. are

held in normal position by springs 33 secured to a bar 34 carried by clamps 35 secured to the sides of the frame 1. The key levers of the keys are arranged to be fitted between the key levers of the keys 2 of the keyboard of the machine and their rear ends 30 are arranged to move up and down in slots formed in the outer plates of the differential device. The differential device comprises a fixed and a movable member, the movable member being arranged to be acted on by the differential keysbeing so connected to the tabulating stop bar that by its movement the stop bar will be moved to the right, that is in a direction opposite to the direction of feed of the carria e, a distance depending 'upon the difierentia key operated in order to stopgthe carriage in proper position for v printing the first-figure of the member to be written.

'The iixed member of the differential mechanism consists preferably of a pair of parallel plates 40 suitably spaced apart'to carry a sliding plate 41 between them and guide it in its movement. The plates 40, or one of them, are secured by clamps to the frame of the machineand are provided with slots 42. at right angles to the longitudinalline of the plates which are adapted to receive and guide the ends of the di'flerential keys. The,

sliding plate 41 is provided witha series of' diit'erential slots 43 each having one side at right angles to the longitudinal line of theplate and the opposite side inclined at such angle that as the end of the ,key levers of the differential keys are forced into the slots 42 V theytwill act upon the .sliding plate to cause it to move a distance depending upon the particular key operated and the inclination of the side of the'slot 43 into which the end of the lever of that key enters. A slot 44 with both sides at right angles to thelongitudinal line of the plate is provided as shown in Fig. 7, at the right of the figure into which i the end of lever of the zero key enters;

The sliding plate 41 is pivotally connected referably at the right of'the machine, toa ever 45 pivoted at 46 to a plate 47 secured by a removable clamp or otherwise to the,

frame of the machine. This lever 4,5 is bent or curved as indicated in Fig. 2 so as to extend above the plate of't'he machine, preferably passing upward beyond the outer edge of the top plate, and at its upper end is provided with a slot 48 through which a pin or screw 49 extends connectingthe end of the lever with the tabulating stopv bar. It will thus be seen that movement of the sliding plate 41 t ough the lever 45 transmits movement to the tabulating stop bar in a direction op-i positeto the direction of feed of the carriage,

the extent of this movement being determined by the movement given to the sliding the rod 24 to be depressed, pressing down the end of the ex'tension 15 and simultaneously pressing ,down the end of the arm 21, thus raisingltherack bar 6 to release the carriage from t e escapement mechanism and causing the endof the movable stop 17 to be brought into operative position to engage a column stop. During this movement-the spring 22 resists-the depression of the arm 21 and thus causes it to act on the rod 24 as a-b'rake to retard the carriage after the latter has been freeddrom. the escapement or letter space feeding devices. If the zero key is operated no movement will be-given to the sliding.

plate or the stop bar, the operation of the key serving-only to eiiect the release of the carriage and move the. end-of the movable stop into positionto engage the col pmn stop; As soon as the difiierentialkey is re eased the rack bar ydrops into engagement with the pinion of the escapement mechanism and the movablestop is returned to normal I position by its spring 22permitting the carriage to be fed forward as the keys of the ty e'writing machine'are operated. If on'eof t e differential keys, other thanthe zero key, is 'oper' ated .its end 30 as it enters and passes u ward in its slot 42 will, byits action on t e inclined sideof its slot 43 in the sliding plate, '7 cause thesliding plate to move to the left which through the lever 45, willcause'the stop bar to move to the right to move the column stop: one, two or more spaces to the right according to the differential key operated so that the carriage will be stopped by the contact ofthe movable stop 17; with the column stop in proper position :to print the first figure of the number to be written.

It will be-notedthat the shaft on which the differential keys are pivoted, the bar carrying the springs which hold these keys in normal position, the fixed plate of the ditl'erenj tial mechanismdzhe arms which carry the bar on which differential keys act to effect the re- 5 lease of the carriage and the movement of the mo vable stop, as well as the lever which con- IOO nects the sliding barof the difl erential nechanism to the stop. bar, are all arranged to be secured to the frame of the machine by removable clamps, and the extension 15 and the arm which carries the movable stop are also each arranged to be securedfin position by clamps, so that all of these parts may be secured in position without the necessity for.

in any way making any change a type- Writing machine as constructed for brdinary typewriting, and the stop bar brackets 10 may be. secured inplace without other change than the mere removal'of, the sci'rews which hold the guide bar in position, these brackets. when secured in" osition serving to hold the guide bar in p ace. The device is thus adapted to. be attached tomachines in use with .very little trouble and without requiring special skill.

described as held inflplace by removable clamps may be permanently secured in place. g

The spring 22 is preferably of such strength as to press the end of. the arm 21 firmly upward so as toot'fer considerable re rod 24'so that when this'ro'd- .is'depressed, there will be considerabld iriction between it and. the end the. arm, thus Of course if desired the various partsrabo v e sistance to the depression ofthis arm by the checking the movrhentof the carriage when released from the escapement mechanism and preventing the shock whichfwofuld otherwise result from; the release of the carria e and the momentufm with which its movable stop would be brought against the column I do not desire to be limited to the precise form and arrangement above described asit is obvious that changes in form and ar-,
