'fllig 3 is an enlarged detail vertical section al view taken through the longitudinal axis' oltheumovable portion or sleeve oltli'e `stop device andl showing the 50 lixed stop which cooperates with said device. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are enlarged detail front velevations of the stop deviocshowing the movable portion or sleeve thereof in. dityferent positions, the support for said device in said ligure. A ln the drawings, 1 indicates-'corner posts rising troni the base frame (not shown) of' vthe machine, said corner Iposts sustaining a top plate 2. Above the top plate and cooperative with type bars (not shown) .mounted on said top ilate, is a rotary cylindrical platen 8, said platen havingan axle l1 journaled in the side bars 5 of a platen traine, said platen :trarne comprising in addition to theside bars a front bar and a rear bar 7. A bearingblocl 8 is secured t0 the front bar 6 and journaled in said bearing 'block is a wheel or roller 9 coperating with a shiftableguide rail. l() which is supported onnpright arri-is 1l the latter being pivoted to the frame ot theinachine and operative by' suitable shift inechanisnikin the usual manner. Arms 12 arepivoted at their upper ends to the rear bar 7 of theplaten frame, the lower ends et said arins being connected by a cross rod i3 which is pivoted in the sides of a bar-like carriage truck 14. The car-` ringe truck carries rollers or Wheels lwhich cooperate with a 'fixed guide rail 16, and said carriage trucl; comprises with the platen "traine fa platen carriage. Sheet metal vretainers l'iare secured at the rear of the carril re truck by beaded serews'18, the lower .tort-ions et said retainers curving Jforwardly und r' the ,froide rail 16 and preventing .vertical disiilacenient of the carriage truck.

. ing in the body portlon and engagingia' -31 (Fig. 1) adapte .horizontal y' disposed puslrrod 35, said I 'od being slidable in bearings formed in the top plate and being provided with a restoring spring 36. As is Well understood the ush rod 36 operates When pressed 'rearward y to communicate rotary movement to the stopv bar 26 and to swing the stop lug -28 downwardly. The parts hereinbefore shown and described are common to the Remington machine, and it is not deemed neoessar-yl to explaintheir construction or mode of pperation in greater detail.

Referring to my novel stopping device, this comprises tWoparts, a yokeslike support .and a sleeve-like stop member mounted thereon. The oke-like bracket or .su port comprises a bo y portion 37 extending inngitudinally of the stopbar 26 and having` at 1ts.

left end a rearwar ly extendin lug or .arm 38, and at its right end a latera ly and rearwardly extending bent arm or lug 39'. The

,body portion 37 1s provided with an opening Wh1ch receives a thumb screw 40, the stem ol" threaded opening 1n the carriage truck 14,' thereby clamping and detachably securing the stop device in place on the carria e. A' flange or lip 41- depends from the bo y ore tion 37 and'l when the stop device is in p ace said flange or lip lies against the rear face of the right-hand retaining'platel 17, said flange being formed with perforations as indicated at 42 to receive the heads of the screws 18. The construction is such that the stop device is firmly seeuredin place 'by the screw 40 and.

is prevented from .bein disarranged by the latter and by the hea s of the screws 18.v

As shown in Fig. 3, the under side of the 1 right-hand lug 39 is 'cut away-as indicated at 43.to.perm1t of'free passage ofthe margin stop lug 28 which lies eloW it. Said .righthand lug 39 is formed with an opening which is driven a .cam member'o'r sleeve 44 provided with a flange 45 `which abuts the outer face lof the lug. The in'ner'end yof the 'sleeve 44 is formedwith a series of` saw teeth 46 which' project inwardly beyond the inner.

face of the lug 39V and are each beveled on-one side and straight on the'- other side, sixy of such teeth beingshown. The left-handingl 3 8is formed With lan opening into which is 49 projecting inwardly beyond theinner face -rod 5 1.

counterbored asv` indicated at- '50j (Fig- 3).' The sleeves 44 and 47 are formed With o enings which receive a bearing or pivot ro 51, one end of said rod having a head 52 and the other .endbeing arranged to receive a bindinclr ma 53 which iescrewed up tight to bind af' flanges of the sleeve 44and 47 against the faces 4ci the earswhich receive them. The

pivot-rod 51, thef'sleeves 44 and 47 'and the Supporting bracket which comprises the ears 38 and 39j, are all maintained in fixed relationby the head 52 and the binding nut 53.-.

ports itreceives asto member'whichis 'refy erably in the form. o an elongated sli e or sleeve 54, said sleeve being' movable both longitudinally and rotatably upon the bearing rod 51. .Near its left-hand end the sleeve 54 is'A provided with an 'annular head or flange 55,'- and outside the flange the body of the sleeve is formed with one or l' more beveled teeth 56 which are adapted to cooperate with. the teeth 49 of the fixed sleeve 47. About midway of its length. the

sleeve 54 is provided with two voppositely 1.

disposed and outwardly, extending'sto s-or lugs 57. .The left-hand faces 58 of sai lugs are beveled, but the 4right-.hand faces- 59 are- )lain and serve as stopping or lcontact faces. n end view'each lug 57 appears, as shown in Fio. 2, ci'rznle, the circumference of which is equal to and is concentric with theouter circumference of the annular flange 55, the center of said circumference being the axis of the' pivot Asfwill be understood from a con'- stops 57 are ybounded at .their roots by the circumference of the c lindrical .sleeve 54. Near its right-hand en the sleeve. 54 is provided 4withl tWo oppositely disposed stops or lugs 60, said sto s being similar in shape and 115' dimensionsto t e stops 57 and having plain Contact faces'l and beveled faces 62. As plainlyl appears from an inspection of Fig. '-2, the stops 60 are disposed .at angles o f 609300.

the correspondingwparts of the stops 57 120 Each ef the stopsO and 75 when considered endwise cover one-sixth ofthe annular yfalce .of the flange .55'. The shape of these. stops 57 and 60 isv such and vthey arel so disposed circumferentially of the lsleeve 54, that when '125 the stop member isv viewed from the right as in Fig. 2, the. onl portions of the'inner tace of ther annular ange 55 Whichare exposed to eac corresplond both in shape 4and in dimensions ofthe. stopsy 57 and 60 andthe ex# 130 Before the rod5-1 is mounted in it's'fsup.

as-'comprising a part of a sector of a bar 26.

' sleeve 47,

`being held b v the margin stop,

posed portions of said'flange 55 are oppositely i disposed to each other. At the rig t of the plam faces 61 of the stops 66 a tooth 63 proyects lengthwise from the end. of the sleeve' 54, said tooth being adapted to coperate with the teeth 46 of the fixed sleeveI 44. A

' lug. The spring 64 serves normally to press the sleeve 54 longitudinally rightward along the rod 51 so as to maintain the tooth 63 normally in engagement with the teeth 46 of the right-hand 'fixed sleeve 44.

Referring now to the. operation of the parts above described and assuming that it is dey sired to address a number of envelope, the first lenvelop is entered in the machine and fed around with the platen in the, usual mai ner. The usualpaper feed devices properly guide. and control said envelop as 1t is fed through the machinel The point at which the first letter cf the first line. of the address is`to be written is noted on the usual platen scale (not shown) and the margin stop 27 is then adjusted so that its pointer 31 1s at a corresponding point on the scale on the stop At the beginning of an operation the sleeve 54 should )e in such a )osition cir cumferentially considered that tlhc stops 57 and 60 are out of' the path of the stop lug 28 ofthe margin stop 27. Let us assume that the various parts are in the relation shown in Figs. l, 2 and 3 with the' spring 64 pressing the tooth'63 into engagement with two of Vthe teeth 46 and with the margin stop just engaging with the flange 55 of the sleeve 54. vIt will be understood that up to this point the movement of the carriage from an indefinite` point at the left towards the right has been free and unobstructed, the stop lug or arm 2S having passedithrough the cut-away 43% in the lug 39. ment vof the carriage be continued from the position illustrated in Fig. l, the` contact face of the stop lug 28 engaging the flange 55 will overcome the force of the spring 64 and the position of the sleove 54 relative to its supporting bracket will be changed, the bracket moving on withl the carriage and the sleeve The effect isvthe same as though the bracket remained stationary and the sleeve were moved along the rod 51 away from the right-hand fixed sleeve 44 and towards the left-hand fixed Two of the stages of this relative movement between thev bracket and the sleeve arev illustrated 1in Figs. 4 and 5. ln Fig. 4, the bracket is shown as being moved far enough to the right to completelyY disengage the tooth 63 from the twxo coiiperating `teeth 46. From an inspection of this figure it will bc'noted that the parts are so proportionedfand; ,l rranged that the disengagement if now the rightward moves.

which Asaid tooth 63 had last engaged.

of these `teeth takes place just/before the engagement with the teeth 56at the leftpof thesleeve with the coperatinfr fixed teeth' 49. The latter. teeth are' slifrhtly out of line with the fixed teeth 46 an( .as the relative movement between the sleeve 54 and. its supporting bracket causes the 'teeth 56 to coperate with the teeth 49, and this engages ment of the teeth is effective to produce a slight re'arwardturning or rotary movement of the sleeve so that when the coperating teeth 56 and 49 are fully engaged,` said sleeve will have been turned sufficiently-in the:

direction of. the arrow in Fig. 2 to carry the point of the tooth 63 rearwardly past the point of the tooth 46 with the straight side whereof it had previously cooperated. This change in the relation of thetwo tee-th is illustrated in Fig. 5. When the teeth 56 and 49 are 'fully engaged, as shown in Fig. 5, further relative movement between the sleeve.

and its support is prevented, and the flange 55 wil/lcoperate with the margin stop 27 to prevent further rightward `movement of the carriage.l The spring 64 serves to cushion the sleeve and soften its impact with its support and with the marvin stop. This stoppage of the carriage will occur at the )roper point for beginning the first line of t e ad-y dress on the envelop. Suppose now that the first line of said address be written inthe usual manner. As the letters are printed the ca'rriage will be fed step-by-step from right to left, the sup )orting bracket of the stop device move ing to the left as the carriage moves. ,During the first few spaces of this movement, the sleeve 54, however, will remain fixed, the flange 55 being maintained in contact with the stop lugZS bythe coiled spring 64.Y A relative movement is thereby effected between the sleeve 54 and its support, during which the teeth 56 will separate from the teeth 49 and the tooth 63 will enter lthe space between two of the teeth 46, rearward (or towards the l back of the machine) of that space wigh i s the relative movement thereafter continues, the beveled edges of the teeth 63 and 46 cooperate to cause a rearward rotary movement of the sleeve 54 so that when the tooth 63 is completely engaged with the sides of the teeth 46 with which it now coperates,'sai`d sleeve will have been turned rearwardly to the position shown in Fig. 6. Since )there are six teeth 46, the turning movement coinmunicated to tl'iesleeve when the tooth`63 disengages from one opening andy passes to engage the next opening between said teeth 46, amounts to one-sixth of the circumferenceor6OO.' 'lhis rearward turning move'- ment of the sleeve has therefore been sufficient to rotate the stop 57 shown as entendn ing downwardly and rearwardly in Fig. l from the positionshownin said Fig. 2 to the position .jef

-jps'edportion of the flange 5 5 that is to say7 -,the stop .57 has been turned down into the -f path of the margin stop lug 28. The longi- .tudinal displacement of the sleeve 54 relative ,to its support and the simultaneous rearward `turnn g movement of said-sleeve will be sto ped when the tooth 63 is fully engaged wit the teeth46, so that further letter space '.movement of the carriage will move the stop 1.10@ device 'as a whole leftward and will cause the' downwardly'extendingjstop 57, after some v five or six additional letter space movements, toz engage with the beveled face 30 of the "margin stop-lug, ldepressing said s top lug and communicating a rotary movement to the stopbar 26.' The rotary movement .of the stop; bar operates to lift the usual bell ham- "mer (not shown) so that when the carriage 4has been fed far enough'leftward to permit the stop 57 to clear the beveled face 30 of the margin s top, the margin stop bar will return Ato normal 1position and in doing so will operate the bel alarm mechanism, thus indicati'ngthat the stops are positioned to coper- 'te properly. During the printing of the vettersof the first line of the address the let ter space movements 'of the carriage are -lree l'and unobstructed,the cut-awayy 43 preventing engagementof thevsto device with the 'margin stop 27.- The first ine of the writing having been completed the platen is line s aced in the usual and known manner, and

t en the carriage 'is returned fromleft to right -to begin the second line ofwriting.

' 'wardly projecting stop 57 will contact with the face 29"onthe margin stop arresting the sleeve 54, so that as rightward movement oi said carriage is continued the supporting ''Qbracketf'mov'es' with it, again compressing the spring 64 and separating' the tooth 63 from' the teeth 46 with which it was engaged. The carriage vwill be finally arrested when a full and complete engagementbetween the teeth 56 and the teeth 49 takesplace. This time the carriage has beenarrested by thel .-operation df the margin stop with one of 'the stops 57 instead of by thecoperation ofthe margin stop with the flange 55. Con'- io sequently the carriage will be in a-position to begin the second line some half dozen spaces more or less to the right of the first one, the number of spaces between the beginnings lof the two lines depending on the longitudi- V nalI distance between the flange 55 and the stop 57. This distance, of course, is optional,

but in the present oase' I have shown these 'with the margin sto As: .3 5-the' carriage is moved rightwa'rd thedo'wnyposition in turn.

carriage is moved step-by-step to the left the restoring spring 69 will againserve to maintain they sleeve 54 against the contact face 29 of the margin'stop until the tooth 63 at the right of said sleeve has again become enga ed with the toothi46, thereby causin an a di' having been completed the platen is again' line spaced and the carriage is restored tothe right. This time the stop will cooperate tolarrest the carriage in position to begin tl ie third line seven letter space distances to the right of the beginning of the second line. As the third line is written a third rotary movement of the sleeve 54 is completed in the same manner as the two preceding "movements Said sleeve will now have been turned in all through 180. Consequently when the carriage is next restored to the right the 'margin stop will coperate with the flange 55 at the part of the latter opposite to that with which it 'first coperated. Thisl opposite part of the flange 55 is that shown above the rod 51 in Fig. l

Ordinarily the address on an envelop consists of lthree lines and I vhave designed the lpresent attachment for such an address.

.The address on the first envelop being completed, said envelop may be removedfrom entered and addressed in the samemanner as the first.

stops 57 and 60 that before were inoperative will be automatically 'moved to operative 4 When the second yenvelop is being addressed the sleeve 54 will have made one complete '4 rotation and will be ready for the third envelop. Obviously this operation may be repeated indefinitely, the sleeve 54 turning always in the same direction and assuming a recurrent series of positions.

lf itis desired to write a fourth line on an envelop, as for example the county in which 1GO y ythe machine and a second envelop may be The operation will be the 'same' l as that above explainedv except that thethe addresse resides, this additional direc-Q tion may be written in the lower left-hand corner by operating the margin release rod 35 to swing the margin stop lug 28 down out ot the path oi th'e'stop device on the carriage so that the latter may be moved rightward until the stop device has completely clearedv the margin stop lug 2S. As soon as this' clearance occurs therod 35 mayy bereleased to permit thesto'p bar 26 to return to. normal position and bring the final margin stop 32 into the path of Ya lug 38a projecting dow'n- -i wardly and rearwardly from the lefthand lug 38 of the supporting part of the novel stop device. The stop 32 should, of course, be adjusted to bring the beginning' of the additional or 'fourth line to the -proper place at the lower left-hand corner of the envelop. The stopping portion 32 of said stop 32 shouldV be made to'lie closer -to the stop bar 26 than in the ordinary construction, but otherwise said stop 32 is like the usual stop on the machine.

It' Will be seen that l provide two stops automatically cooperating to arrest the carriage in a yseries of varying positions in its pathgof travel, lthis lseries inthe In'esent instance comprising three lines and being a recurrent one; that 'further l provide a stop having a plurality of contact surfaces arranged to cooperate with another stop to arrest the carriagev at different points in its travel in such' a Way that the contact vsurfaces intermediate tlie cooperating stop and the particular contact surface With which it is to cooperate may be 'skipped or passed. The I neans for automatically turning the stop-sleeve, said means consisting ofI the canfmellnbers or toothed sleeves 44 and 47, is preferably mounted on the two-part stop device itself, but it is of course obvious that .said means need not be so mounted.. 30 kVlfhile my invention `is especially adapted `lfor 'addressing envelope and has been ex- "plainedin connection'with such Work it is "tol bey understood that said invention 'may ber used for tabulating Work of various kinds :35. and' .that the construction shown maybe ada tedto different forms of such tabulating wor Certain of the features' shown and described herein are broadly claimed in my application hereinbefore referred to whichY is pending concurrently henmtith.
