CALCULATING-MACHINE I Specification of Inet-ters Patent.

YPatented Jui-y 21, 190s.

i To all 'itmay concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN WAHAI., citizen of the United States, `residing at Chic o, in

the county of Cook and State of Illinois, ave invented a certain new and useful Improvementin Calculating-Machines, of which Athe following is a full, clear, concise, and exact l description, reference being had to the aceompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

HMy invention relates to calculating mafA x chines or devices, and more particularl to compact calculating mechanism adapte -for separable, attachment tov ty ew'riting 'machines for automaticallyl pe orming calculations.

. My devicejs of the same class as that d'escribed in m coending application Serial No. 256,141 ed pril 17, 1905, and the object is to -provide more simplified and improved construction and arrangement ofl the various operative arts and to provide more efficient and'simp iiied ad'usting, checkin and coir'ecting means. A evice of this kin is more particularl adapted for calculations of addition and su traction, and ma be directlyassociated with the number eys of any style of typewiiting machine and with the-escapement mechanism thereof, and upon actuation of the number keys of the machine the corresponding numbers will be printed .upon the sheet`v and simultaneously regison the indicating mechanism and ma teredV on indicating mechanism. i At the end of a calculation thedesired result will appear be coied therefrom and printed on the s eet.

he indicatin mechanism is in the form of a totalizer a apted for suitable mechanical association `to travelwith the escapement carriage, while the driving mechanism for the `indicating mechanismv is fixed to the type.- writer frame and its various operative parts are suitabl associated with the number keys of the mac ine. There are also several auxiliary controlling,adjusting,l checking and correcting mechanisms associated withbo'th l the indicatingl and the driving mechanisms. .'l`hese.auxiliary mechanisms perform very important functions.. One of said mechanisms serves u on actuation of the ke to correct for any ost motion or relative isplace 4 mentof the machine parts and to set these parts sothat upon actuation of key there will befpropeivalinement and the calculating parts' printing parts in the proper posi-l li'ne ofFig. 7. tional'view taken on line 9-#9 of Fig. 7; Fig.

'non fer erformin their functions. This same mec anism a so prevents escapement.

or slipping of the carriage until 4the calculation and printiighas been completed.

It happens very often in the-operation lof machines of this kindthat a key is not'moved to the -endof its stroke, or that two or more keys are struck at the same time. This, of course, unless corrected for will introduce errors into the calculations, and the purpose 'of another of the auxiliary mechanisms -is to cause restoration of wrongfullyor weidentally actuated parts and to restore calculating mechanism parts to withdraw therefrom the wrong or mdesired calculation. Other undesirable actuations or displacements of the operative partsas those, for instance, due to momentum of the arts or -to lost motion, are prevented b t ese auxiliary mechan isms. In genera it may be stated that all operative parts are securely locked against displacement until the'particular function intended for them is to be performed, this insuring great reliability and eHiciency.

The exact operation and detailed construction of the various main mechanism arts and of the auxiliary mechanism 1parts wl be best to t understood by reference e accompanying drawin s which show my device attached to the well known Remington type'writing ma-v chine-,and in which drawings, i v

' Fig. 1.6 is a view showing a modified arrangement of the totalizer gear wheels within their supporting frame; Fig. 17 is a Iview of some of the parts shown in Fig. 10 While.

a Remington typewriting machine may be adapted to be attached to other machines with equaly facility.

A horizontal track bar 1 is secured to hangers 2--2 fastened to thef frame 3 of the typewritin machine by means of screws 4 4 as best s own in Fig. 2.-` This track bar. or frame has an upper and a lower raceway or track 5 and 6 respectively adapted to b e engaged by plper and lower rollers 7 and 8 pivoted from s afts 9 and 9 extending from the back of the totalizer isupporting frame 10. Thistotalizer frame is thus adapted .for lon'- gitudinal travel along the track frame 1, and the arm 11 connects with this frame and with the bar or arm 12 secured to the rear non shiftable` or comparatively stationary part 13'of the typewriter carriage by means of the screws 14. l This arm 12 is disposed 'at the side of the machine in such manner as to clear the front shiftable or relatively movable part 15 of the escapement carriage supporting the ty eroller 16, this frame, as is well known, eing adapted to be swung.

.j about the stationary frame 13 so that printe eX- ing on the sheet held on the roller can amined during the operation of the machine, and it is thereforeunnec'essary to disconnect the indicating mechanism each time that the front part 15 is raised, this being va very important feature, as otherwise there might be disarrangement or displacement of the indicating mechanism parts which vwould result in errors. The arm 12 is, however, adapted for se arable engagement with the arm 11 so that t e typewriting machine can be used in its ordinary capacity entirely independently of .the calculating mechanism; At the end ofthe arm 11 a head`16 is provi-'ded having a tongue or extension 17 for engagement in the slot 18 through the front end o f the arm 12. To connect the indicating mechanism with the vtracks 5 and 6 on the track bar lare escapement carriage the head 16 is turned to carry the arm 17 `within this slot, and to disconnect the indicatingv` mechanism the head 1-6 is turnedto disengage the tongue. Care must also be taken to' connect the totalizer supporting frame in proper relation with the escapement mechanlsm of the carriage,and the ead 16 is thereforepivoted on the sleeve 18 having adjustable threaded engagement with the end of the arm 11. A loc the escapement carriage, and to causethe' frame 10 to move in a straight longitudinal line without displacement or lost motion the ably as shown, the center parts thereo the prismatic ridges 21 and 22 respectively, having' at each side thereof the horizontal track .ways 23 and 24 respectively. The rollers 7 and 8 to correspond have the shape Vof a s ool, the cylindricalcenter 25 of each spool caring on the outer face 26'of the corresponding ridge, the angular faces 27:, bearing on the sides of the ridge part and thefcylindrical edges 28 bearing on the horizontal prefer- Y' being Q nut 19 secures the sleeve'in any ad'ust- .ed positionand the screw 20 holds the ead The totalizer supportin surfaces 23. Y This form of track and engagingspool causes the supporting frame 10` to v be atl all times perfectly rlgid Without increasin the friction. he upper and lower edges of the su porting frame 10'- are provided with V-sliaped guideways or channels 29and 30 res ectivelyf, and a totalizer framef31 has the sidg Walls 32 and 33 provided at their rear ends with the upper and lower V-shaped tongues 34 and 35 for enga in in the guideways 2,9 and 30, within W ic guideways the totalizer frame may be slid, and to secure the totalizer in anyV adjusted position on the supporting frame 10 a locking lever 36 may be suitably pivoted to the totalizer frame so that itsend y l 37 may be brought into-.engagement in any of the slots 38 along the to .front edgeof the traveling frame 10. ese slots are scaled to correspond to the spacing `distances of the typewriting machine so that the starting oint of the totalizer mayagree with that` of t e t pewriting machine. The totalizer frame w en thus adjusted in osition on the traveling frame 10 will travel ack and forth acrossl the front' of the machine with the esca ement carriage, and the-indicating and ca culatingmechanisms contained by the to'- talizer frame .will be described later.

Depending from the trackbar arearms 39 and 40 terminating res ectively in side plates 4 1 and 42 the arms being connected by a horizontal supportingplate 43, and near the center-of this supporting plate 43 .is mounted the driving frame 44, consisting ofthe side plates 45 and 46 which may be secured tothe supporting plate by the screws 47.1 Pivoted esame indicating vmechanism or totalizer which, travels across the machine. This gear wheel is rigidly secured to the sleeve-50 which is secured to -the shaft 48. To the left vof the gear Wheel 49 is the controlling gear 52 which is rigidly secured to the sleeve 51 slidably but non rotatably mounted upon the shaft 48. The two ears 49 and 52y thus always turn together ut gear 52 is smaller .54journaled in the wall 46 and the 'wall or lever 62toward the late 66.

To t e rear of the shaft 48 and parallel thereto is a second shaft plate 55, this shaft bein ada ted -for longitudinal movement. As st s ownin Fig. 6 two gear wheels 56 and 57 are rigidl secured by means of a hub or sleeve 58. T `s sleeve` and the connected gear Wheels are loose upon shaft 54'so as to rotate thereon. Gear 57 is always in mesh `with the gear 52. To the left of ear 57 a collar 59 encircles'the shaft 54, an has an arm 60 extending therefrom with a bifurcated end 61 entering the groove A controlling lever 6 2 is secured to the end of the vshaft 54 and terminates in afinger piece 63, the lever 62being held in its extreme`positions of adjustment in the slots 64 `and 65 cut in thevplatev66 which is secured to the wall 46'.

In other words, in the Vthe end walls 41 and 42. from intermediary points of the `shaft 89` eX;

Below -the shafts 48 and 54 is pivoted a pari allel shaft 69 between the end walls A41 and 42. The segmental gear 68 beforeA referred toA is in the form of a rim 70 andarm 71 having the slot 72 at its lower end spanning'the shaft 69, and a ivot pin 73 passes throu h the arms 74 andp75 and through said sha t, whereby thesegmental gear frame ma swing laterally and when in a vertical plane to mesh with either the gear 56 or the gear 52 of the driving mechanism, as before described.

Between the shafts 48 and 54 and the shaft 69 is the shaft 76 secured in the walls 46 and 55. On this shaft is the sleeve 77 having the groove 78 in which engages the lower edge 79 of the rim 70 of the segmental gear frame.- Directly below this shaft 7 6A'is another shaft 80'to which a bell crank lever 81 is pivoted at its elbow 82, the end of the arm 83 of said bell crank lever being pivoted to the sleeve 77. The end of the other arm 84 of the bell crank lever is pivotedto the upper end of the link 85 having an elongated slot 86 at its lower end in which engages a pin 87 extending from the arm 88 extending from the shaft 89, which shaft is pivoted at its ends in From the ends and tend supporting arms 90 carrying at their ends the universal shaft 91 on which is the roller 92.

Between the rear lower ends of the end plates 41 and 42 is pivoted a shaft 93, and in suitable position over each number key of. the machine is a wi -shaped frame 94 con-V nected at its one en to the corresponding machine number key by means of an; adjustlable turn buckle 95. Adjacent to'each frame 94 is a cam arm 96 terminating in a cam surface 97. From an intermediary point `-be' tween this cam surface and the shaft 93 is a post v98 engaging in the slot 99 through the adjacent frame 94.4 For each number key also there is an actuating lever 1.00 terminating in a cam roller 101 pivoted on the extension 102. Each cam roller is ada ted for engagement with the carnsurface 97 of (corresponding cam arm 96 'so that upondeiiression of a key motion is transmitted from the frame 94 to the post 98, cam arm 96, and by means of' engagement of the cam surface 97 with the cam roller 101 the corresponding lever .100 is swung to cause' rotation of the corres onding to the amount of rotation re# the segmental gear and of the driving mechanism to move the indicating Wheel' thereof A actuating cam tion thereof due to the sudden impact with .the cam arm upon Astriking of the number taining-Wall 103 parallel to the cam surface cam slot. from the bend of each goose-neck which in 4 i `tllittion of certain keys after other keys have been depressed.

The intermediate actuating evers are displaced proportionally, the arms, however,being all ofthe same length. f To .cause more regular actuation of the actuating arms and to preventl over actuakeys, the cam4 arm is in the form of a gooseneck, as best shown in Figs; 3 and 4,t eend of the arm being turned back to'form the re- 97, and the cam roller is confined in the There is also an extension 104 the normal position ofthe keys engages against the plate 43 or vertical sup orting walls 105 of the drivin frame 46.` here isf" also a projection 106 rom the end of each goose-neckextendiiigforwardly.

The roller, howjection 106 and another ke cannot, therefore, .be depressed when the rst key is down. Each wing frame 94 has a cam projection 107 from near the center of its periphery, and the cam face 10.7 and the'edges' 108 and'109 e'rably concentric Awitht e shaft 93. ong the edge 'of the upper end of each wing frame', which edge is concentric with the shaft 93, isa pluralityr ofteeth 110 adapted for engagement with a locking tooth or web 111 Iifted. between the end walls' 41 and 42. e distance between the ivot line and the point of the locking web p us the distance of l the center' line of the shaft 93 to the teeth 110 is slightly greater than the distance between the center line of the shaft 93 and the pivot line ofthe locking web. Inth'e normal position of the keys as shown in Fig.' 3 the' wing frames will be up and the teeth thereon will be back 'ofthe locking web.

After the cam roller on theactuating lever reaches the cam surface concentric with the shaft 93 there will be no further rotation of the segmental gear and the roller shaft leaves theV cam surface 107 and is restored by gravity tov its normal 'position to rest against the surface 109 of the wing frame94. The link and bell crank lever mechanism is also returned to its normal osition as by a spring 113 and the segmentalgear returned to its normal position out of mesh With-the driving gear, :this normal position being lshown in Fig. 3. Upon depression of the key, also, the 'teeth 110rar'e carried'b the point of the locking web 11-1, this web being eld in engagement with the teeth by the springs 114. The osition of the teeth s ould be such that t e locking point will be in en a ement with teeth an instant before the s a t roller 92 comes 'into engagement with the cam surface 107 vand before the cam surface 97 becomes effective, and also that the point will still enga e teeth an instant after the roller leaves-t e cam'projection. lt will be seen that there can be no restoration of the typewriter key to its normal position until the key has been deressed its proper distance to, carry the wing rame teeth beyond the locking web point.

Upon release of the key thelroller shaft 92 upon engagement with `the cam extension 107 is rotated rearwardly about the shaft 89 andthe arm 116 on the shaft 89 rotated forwardly. .The slot 118 in the link 119, however, performs the same function as the s1ot186 in the link 85 of the .segmental gear swinging mechanism, ,and the post 117 on the arm 116 merely moves along the slot 118 without consequent motion of the lever `frame 121 and when the shaft roller again reaches the surface 108 the post returns to its normal position atithe rear end of 'the "slot11,8.

If a num-ber key isintended to be actuated but is not depressed its entire stroke the locking web 111, as before described, will prevent restorationi of the key. The operator notic-I ing that the key does not restore in this case can further depress the -key through its full stroke and the desired number will be enteredin the indicating mechanism.

If a key is struck unintentionally and throughout its full stroke and a number` unintentionally can then be moved to the subtracti added or subtracted in the indicating mechanismthe error can easily be rectified by `moving the gear controlling lever 62 to its other osition. is set 'or adding and a number key is umntentionally struck the gearing 'mechanism` position and the same key struck whic will result in the restoration of the indicating mechanism to its position before the key was' unintentionally struck. If, however, a key is unintentionally struckl and insufficiently moved so that .the locking web 111 locks the vkey a ainst restoration, or in the event that Y accesi rence between the t le actatlythe these keys can not "e de'-- cys are struck4 simultaneously and locked by the lockingwebagainst-restoration, means must be'provided for releasing these keys-and for causing the error introduced by, such unintentional key `actuation mechanism. i h j :It isvery commento accidentally strike twqlmmg, ke s at the,same-time, and on to be rectified or taken out ofthejindicating valso supports the locking web 11.1.

For instance, if `the ,gearing .ment with .a tooth tion, then, as shown in y Shaft 89 w O'se rotation controls the swinging K' lpressed their full dstancaand will consequently be locked against restoration. This simultaneous actuation of the keys causes a resultant rotation of the segmental gear and y the introduction of a corresponding error the indicating mechanism, and to rectify this error the segmental gear must be rotated in a reverse vdlre'ction to its normal or initiatf dr1v1ng 1position to remove `the error before the mec anism is operated which will swing the segmental gear from 'meshing engagement with the drivin gears.

As best shown in igs. 10, 17` and 18 lever frame 135 is pivoted to the shaft 136 bearing '.invthe, frame 137 secured to the frame v43.`

An arm 4138 extends from the frame 135 through the opening 139 in the frame 43 and is adapted for engagement with the tongue 140 extending from Y the hub 141 which,V

Adjacent to the lever 135 is a second lever142 on the shaft 136 having at its one end the projection or `ost 143 normally-engaging the extension or s oulder.144 on the frame 135. A spring 146 connecting between the frame 43 and the lever frame 1357.1iormally serves to hold theshoulder 144 against the post 143 Aand the corresponding-end of the lever 142 against the leaf s ring 147 secured to the frame 43. The otiterminates inV a hook 148. Extending from the shaft 89 are the posts 149 and 150, the

lpost 149 being adapted to be caught by the' ook 148 upon de ression of the lever 135 and the post 150 gaged by the shoulder'151. ivoted to the post 152Vextending from the frame 135 isa pawl frame 153 from whose tail end extends the post 151, normally held within the notch 154 1n the lower edge of the leverframe 135 by the spring 155, saidpawl frame having at its front end a tooth 156 adapted for engagel157 extending from the shaft 69. Y

Normally all the parts just described are in the position shown in Figs.' 10 and 17 If now -vthe one keyis unintentionally.l lightly struck erendof the lever 142 with the tooth 140.' As the key. was de- Y pressed the caih pro ection 107 was brought mtoengage'ment wit theroller shaft 92 and this shaft rotated about the shafth89which also caused the teeth 149 and 150 to be roftated rearwardly.; Engagement of the ex-v h tension 138 with the tooth 140 releases the 125- 'locking web 111 from the locking teeth 110,

and the ke jis released to're'store lts'elf.- r,The i mechanism of the Is/egi'nental gear is held against rotation because the hook 148 upon depression of the lever 135 is moved to catch the post 4149, this movement of the hook being caused by the pressure of the spring 147 'against the other end of the lever 151. Upon depression of the lever frame 135 the p'awl tooth 156 and the tooth 157 will merely move by each other without causing movement of the actuating shaft 69, as the pawl frame is held against rotation by the spring 155 only.

{Upon return of the lever frame 135, however, to its normal position, the pawl frame will be locked 'by the engagement of the pin 151 in the notch 154, and the tooth thereon coming into en'gagementwith the tooth 157 the shaft 69 is rotated back to its normal-po sition to return the segmental gear t0 its no rmal osition to correct the error unintentionally introduced upon insuflicient actuation of the one key 'or simultaneous actuation of the several keys. The hook 148 is released from the post 149 upon rengageinent of the shoulder 144 with the upper end .pf the lever 152, but this disengagement doesnot take place until the pawl tooth has passed upward suiliciently to cause rotation of the segmental gear back to its normal position. 1n other words, the segmental gear is prevented from unmeshing from the driving gears until it has been sufiiciently rotated to rectify the error. As before-stated, the post 150 is engaged by the shoulder 1 51. at the end of the downward stroke of the lever 135, the purpose of this being to causea slightly additional rotation i of the shaft 89 to lift the shaft roller from the cam surface 107 which lreduces the friction and allows the key and ring frame. to be more readily restored. The lever 1 35 is held in its normal position by the-spring 159, but to insure more positive operation o the correcting parts the lever frame may be returned` l tion of the segmental gear s aft otherwise' manually to its normal position. Thearriage is also locked against escapement by the arm 123 until the error is corrected.

In Figs. 8 and 9 I have shown two ositions of other controlling mechanism W ich en` ables the operator'tol release the 'calculating mechanism from the segmental gear, said mechanlsm also servingto reventactuaf than by striking the keys. A lever frame 160 has a slot 161 'near'its center in which engages-the pivot pin 162. The-rear-.end 163 -of the lever .'extends throughthe openingv 164 through the' frame 43 and is adaptedfor.

uengageme'ntwith the tooth 165 extending and .at ariint.ermediarvyff= point' 1 6 7 is vcnvnected by a spring 168 with the frame 43, resting against apln 1.69 projecting from the extension 170 from the lever 160, this being connected by a springr171 with the frame ,43. The end 172 of the-lever 166 is adapted upon downward rotation of the lever 160 to engage vwith the pin 173 extending from the shaft 89. When the lever 160 is rotated downwardly to the position shown in Fig. 9, the end 163 by engaging the tooth 165 'rotates the locking web 111 from the path of the teeth 110, and the springr 168 pulls the lever 166 to carry the end .172 into engagement with the pin 173 to cause 'the roller shaft 92 to be rotated upwardly from the path of the cam projection 107, this rotation of the shaft 89 being permissible on account of the slot 86 in the link 85 connected with the segmental gear swinging mechanism. A post 174 extends from the end 163 and is adapted for engagement at .either side of the head 175, and lo set thc 175 by virtue of the springs 168 and 171.

Upon actuation of a key after' setting of the lever as shown in Fig. 9, the goose-necks will be actuated to rotate the shaftv 69 and the.`

segmental gear thereon, but as the roller shaft 92 has been carried from the path of.

arm 177 of this third lever is held in engagement by the spring 178 with a post 179 extending from the lower end of the extension 170. The lower arm 180 'of this third lever is normally directly before the roller shaft 92. A tooth 181 extends forwardly from the leverl frame 176 above the shaft 177 and a `shoulder 182 on thearm 183 extending from the shaft 69 is normally in engagement with this tooth so that actuation of the actuating levers 100 and of the shaft 69 is normally revented. Directly uponv depression of a ey, however, the roller shaft 9 2 is engaged by the cam proiection 1 17 and pushed against the arm of the lever 176-5to rotate this lever towithdraw the tooth 181- from the shoulder 18,2 yt'o allow actuation of the levers 100 by the 'goose-neck frames to rotate the segmental gear. Depression of the lever .160', however', causes the roller shaft 92 to be'moved from the cam projection 107 but the shaft 69`is unlocked as the post' 179 isN A 'proJection 185 also extends from thesh carried'against the end 177 of the lever-5L76:'-

The inion plate 198 has ten teeth to mesh with t e carryover teeth.193 on the gear plate 192 4secured to a totalizer gear. The star' wheel 199 is provided with ten circular concave peripheral 7'0 the'same radius as the earn plate 195, this star wheel beingin engagement with the cam plate secured to the corresponding totalizer gear wheel. The inion part 200l of each set is in mesh with t e totalizer gear adjacent to the totalizer gear with whose cam plate and gear plate the star wheel and pinion plate of the set are in engagement. Normally a concave surface of each star wheel is in intimatffengagementwith the unbroken cam surface of the corres onding cam plate secured to .the correspon ing totalizerA gear, and when in' such p'os1tion there can be no rotationof the,carryover set on account of the greater radius at the points 202 between 35 the concave surfaces, but when a notch 195 of thev vcam late arrives below one of these oints ad ition'al s ace is afforded to allow or this longerl ra ius, and the carryover tooth 193 disposed opposite the articular 9 0 cam late notch upon meshing witii the pin- -ion p ate` can rotate this pinion plate and the star wheel and carryover wheel secured thereto.

, wheel is the means be'fore referred to for normally locking the pinion part 200 to the part 200. Upon engagementof a carryover tooth 193 associated with one totalizer gear-with thepi'nion plate 198 of thel corresponding cara not revent rotation t lereof and the adjacent tota izer gear will berotated, but this adjacent -totalizer gear, however, meshes only with the part 200 and cannot be directly rotated because the locking wheel engagingv both the part 200 and part 20D-locks the part 200 against the part 200, which part 200 is ciate locked against rotation by virtue of the engagement of-a circular notch of the corre-V sponding star wheel' with the circular cam- -surfacesecured to the other totalizer gear. Thus normally each totalizer gear is locked against direct displacement and the possibility of errors practically eliminated. To allow calculations to be carried on, however, the locking wheel must be released from-the carryover set whose corresponding totalizer gear is about to be rotated by the actuating gear' 49. Each locking arm or lever therefore terminates at its lower' end below the shaft 204 ina plro'ection or finger 206 arranged .in a straig t orizontal line land adapted as the totalizer frame travelsto pass by in front of the end 4207 of the actuating arm 208 extendingu wardly from the lever frame 121 assowith the driving mechanism.

As before described, the lever frame 121 is -revolved aboutthe shaft 1.22 u on striking of the ke s and the end 207 wi therefore,

be carrie forwardl when a key is struck into engagement with t e finger 206 of the locking lever associatedV with the carryover setof the totalizer gear tobe'actuatedupon the depres-l sio'n of the particular key, Arthe adjustment being such; that the locking Wheel is moved from lockin 'engagement just before the segmental gear w1 l cause rotation of the engaged total-l lzer gear. As the'first totalizer gear to the y right is not p)receded by a carryover set ,other v means must e provided for normally preventing unintentional or accidental displacement thereof, this means being shown m Fig-12,

consisting of. a bell crank lever 209 also pivoted to the shaft 204 and having a finger 2 10 in alinement with the fingers of the locking levers 203. An arm 211 extends for# wardly and has a tooth 212 for engagement between the teeth of the first totallzer gear, andnormally held in engagement therewith by the sprin 213 connected between the the frame of the totalizer. Springs 214 connected between the totalizer frame andthe arms 203 serve to normally hold the .locking wheels 205 in en agement with the carryover pinions of te corresponding carryover sets, y

To prevent dis lacement of the lockinwheels whenthellbcking arms are raised, l

rovide bars or'wires 215 and 216 extending liom a` common hub 215 pivoted to the shaft 204. y'A s ring 217 secured to the framework holdls) these wires in engagement between the locking ear teeth. When a locking arm is aetuate the wires are raised to release the other locking gears so that the total-- izer gears maycarry over,the gear on the raised arm being however locked. To rotate the wire frame to release the locking gears upon actuation of the first totalizer gear, the lever 209 has 4an extension 210 for en aging the wire frame. To prevent undue the locking wheels with the carryover vpinions abutment screws 218 extending through the iction of I bar 219 are provided to form an abutment y for the ends of the locking levers.

Secured in. a liorizental position to -the driving mechanismvframe is a detaining bar 220, this bar extending. upwardly to engage the front of the fingers 206 and 210 on the locking arms. In front of the end 207 of the arm 208, however, a slot or passageway 221 is cut in this bar 220 and only the lockin .le-

ver Whose finger is about tobe engage byi the end 207 can be actuated, all the other locking 4bars being themselves locked as their fin ers are held b the bar 220.

' rThe number w eels and the totalizer gears areplacedingroups for example units group, thousands group, millions grou and so on, there being a space between eac group of totalizer gears, and thus when the numbers are' printed onthe sheet they will be properly Vgrouped without. the necessity of printing periods or commas. Thus the operator wishing to strike off a sum on the keys starts say in the thousands column and strikes the numbers in the thousands division, whereupon she must strike the spacing key before proceeding to strike -off the numbersin-the undreds 'group and'so on. If she should neglect to space and should strike a number keyi'instead there will` be confusion anderror. To prevent this I provide extensions or rigid fingers 222 between the groups of actuating fingers of the locking levers 203. When a spacing division is now reached and the opios lioA

erator should attemptto strike a number keyins'tead of the spacing bar the end 207 of thearm 208 will strike the rigid finger 222 land the number key cannot be depressed owing to the inability of the lever frame 128, the

intervening mechanism and the shaft 29v to j rotate, the'roller shaft becoming then rigid, and upon engagement with the cam projection 107 preventing further depression of the key. This immediately notifies the operator that she must depress the spacing key before further calculations can be made. To aline g the totalizer gears to insure easy and properA .meshing eng totalizer gears about to be carried into mesh with the actuating gear 49 areengaged b this tooth an'if'properly alined, and the teet of the driving wheel 49 also extend a distance* over the side and theirgentrance edges are properly beveled as best shown in Figs and `4; The entrance edges of the gears 52 and 56V also extend a distance over-the side and are beveled as shown to insure easy and yroper meshing-connection of -the segmentall) therewith. l l i Y As beforestated, the totalizer frame is ad- 'ustable along .the traveling frame 10, ythe 'I y ocking. lever 37 and the slots 38'servin for this urpose, and the'starting position o the 'tota lzers may be adjusted ytocorrespond with `that of the typewriting machine.A To

render it lunnecessaryfor the operator -to strike off the spacing onthe s acing bar of the typewriterv to bring the tota izer gear into engagementwith-the actuating ear 49tabulating mechanism may be used or' this purpose, and Eigs.` 1 and 15 show the well known r orm of tabulating mechanism employed in conjunction Awith Remington typewriters.

Thevtabul'ating keys 225 Varedisposed in a horizontal row at the front of the machine and connect by rods 226 with the levers 227 .pivoted at 228. and terminating at theirguper end in the lescapementi fingers 229. f ounted on the traveling carriage of the 4typewriter is a bar 230 rovided with teeth 231 whose pitch is e ua to the pitch ofthe 'escapernent teeth o the typewriter. 'escapement fingers 229 are The ouped in the rear of vthis actuating bar an are spaced to correspond with the teeth 231. Abutmen'ts 23,2are ada ted for adjustable insertion-in the teeth o the rack. 230 and arespaced thereon, to correspond with the spacing be- 'tween the totalizer gears and the starting point of. the typewritin 1 machine: By the proper s acing of these a utments it is necesated by saryy o `y for 'the operator to `depress the proper tabulating key and the esca ement carriage will Vtravel directly to bring t e cor# responding totalizer ear into mesh with the driving gear. It isy a so evident that instead of only one totalizer as shown a greater number can be inserted on the frame 10 to be actuthe driv' Ordlnaril v mechanism. the lstance between the total- 4 izer gears o a group should be equal to the .spacmg distance of the machine sc that'upon 4 tenth o an inch. A great deal of mechanism, however, must be crowded' in between gear wheels and at the same time this mechanismy such as gear wheels and gear gear 'is consideral plates must be :suiiciently wide to insure pro er meshing relation. before scri ed, a gear plate and 'camplate "are-lsecured to onevside of. eaclr gears-wheel, w

and between each gear wheel and tlieadjacent geaxgwheel` there must be space to receive the number wheel and also the number wheel gear which mesheswith the totalizer"l gear. l- There must also be room-between these gear wheels for thepinion plate, star wheel and carryover pinion rparts of the cor#L gear wheels must be of sufficient width, to Insure proper 'meshin relations as before stated. It can easily' e seen however, that resionding carryover set. hese gear plates an partsvmight therefore be,toos1nall to insure proper, coacting. relations a'nd errorv Vmight result. The s ace between groups, however, ly largerl than between gear wheels.' l'

In Fig. 16 I'havedia ammaticall shown improved spacing for t `e ear-'Whee swhich takes the surplus space om between the groups and distributes'it between the totallzer gears. The ear wheels and the various parts attached t ereto are shown, and zthe relative positions of the actuati wheel 49v .i il y" with but one tenth of an inch available thesel as the totalizer frame travels are a so shown.

The first gearwheel then engages .at the center of the wheel 49. The next gear wheel engages to the left of the 'ilo y.

center, the next wheel tothe right of the center, the next gear wheel' again at the center and sov on: Thus without losing any efliciency I am enabled to increase'the available space betweengearwheels suiiiciently to ac uire proper dimensions for the delicate wor g parts.` The totalizer parts'4 may be further protected by ythe `covering 233 which fits about the front and lower edges 234 and 235 of the side walls 32 and '33' and suitably secured thereto. In the front of this Ecover' a number of openings 236 may be provid-d in a horizontal rowto exhibit the rowV of numbers on the totalizernumber wheels. An illdicating plate or -scale 237 may also be proon the totalizer frame having the dis lines 238 corres onding to the grouping of the gear Wheels an a pointer 239 secured to the t ewriter frame will indicate on this scale whic totalizer gear is being actuated upon depression' of a key. The driving mechanism parts may also be concealed and protected by l a coveri-ng 240 having the 241 andopenm `242 through which extendt e en s 158 and 243 of the controlling levers 135 and 160 reknurled head whereby the lever 16()"I nay be better actuated, it 'being necessary to pull and push this lever while rotating it.

The operation of the device is now appar` ent. For illustration, suppose itis desired to 'add a 'column of sums, then, after the totalizer -frame is properly adjusted so that accumulated on the totalizer and alinement on the sheet.

the printed numbers will ap ear at the proper osition on the sheet, and t e totalizer numr wheels all indicate zero, the prol er tabulating key for the'first sum is struc where'- after the number keys of the machine are numbers ef the sum on the totalizers. The escapem'ent 'carriage is then returned to its initial osition, the,v rinting roller being adsheet,- the proper mechanism being` first,

however, actuated to reversevthe rotation 'of the driving mechanism and the result will be that the number wheels willbe returned to zero'and the accumulated sum total of'the added numberswill be placed on the sheet below the added numbers. The different mechanisms and their o erations for producing these results have been sufficiently described beforev and it will not be necessary to re eat them here. A

thus provide a very useful and efficient device for performing calculations of addition connected with any tlyfpewritin machine without in any wa lnte ering wit the ordinary operation o the machlne. The construction and arrangement of these parts are very compact as described, Vand produce a ver neat appearance. y

hevarious locking features are suchv that i practically all errors dueto rebounding, mos

mentum or accidental'contact with the parts are prevented, while the various adjusting and correcting mechanismsemployed are so arra ed and constructed that they ma `be quic and readily actuated to restore alse or accidental actuations and to vcorrect in the spectively, the'cnd 243 being inthe vform of a nnation with a totalizer frame connected with successively struck to place thev remaining.

time. The proper tabulating key is struck.

thereof to cause latera swing of the segand subtraction which may be removably indicating'meclnlmism` anyy errors'resulting therefrom. 'The feature of locking the "carriage against escapement until the desired calculations are performed in .the totalizer is also very important.'A A' A Variations in the construction and arrangement fromthatv shown and described may be= made-without:departing'from the spirit of my invention. I do not, therefore,`wish'to be limited'thereto.
