' To rill wlmm it may concern:

I Be it known that I, OHARLEs E. SMITH, citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn,-city of New York, in the'county of Kingsand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Type-WntmgMachmes, of

which the followin is a specification! My invention relates totabulating mechanism. for typewriting machines, and one of the main objects of said invention is to provide asimple tabulating mechanism by" which an operator can readily secure anydesired columnar position and any desired denominational osition within the column by a single ta-bu ating mechanism and preferably at a single tabulating operation. To the aboveand other ends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consistsin the features of construction, arrangements of parts and combinations of devices to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed ,out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in the various views :Figure lis a side elevation with parts broken away and in section of sufiicient number-of arts of one form bf typewriting machine to i lustrate my invention initsapplication' thereto. Jdig. 2 is a rear elevation of the; same with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary detailed top plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a' detailed fragmentaryfront elevation showing a portion of the tabulating'n echanism. Fig. 5 is an enlarged. detailed sectional view showing the connection "between portions of the tabulating mechanism to be hereafter .mnre clearly'described. Fig. 6 is a detailed lr oictric view of the column stops and the cooperating stop, the colu'mnstop bar bein shown in dotted lines;

Fig. 7 is a detailec fragmentary side elevation partly in section of another form of tabulating mechanism embodying my inventlon, and Fig. 8 1s .a detailed rear elevation of the same.

.1 have shown my invention applied to a Monarch machine, though it shou d be understood that the invention is aplplicableto 5O various forms of type riting mac mes,

The frame of the machine comprises a base 1, (10"1161 posts 2 andto vcrs 4 have a rolling fu crum on a fulcrum plate 5 and are provided with the usual finger ieys 6 at the forward ends thereof. Each key plate3. vKey 1 I lever has a sub-lever 7 pivoted thereto at 8,

and is connected at its ends to the base of the machine. The upper end of each sub-lever is pivoted at 11 to a forwardly extending link 12, the forward end of each link being pivoted at 13 to a type bar 14. The various type'bars are pivoted on a curved pivot wire 15 to swing upwardly and rearwardly to the printing point.

A universal bar 16 extends beneath the various key levers and is connected to a frame 17 pivoted at 18 in the base of the machine. A central rearwardly extending arm 19 projects'from'the frame 17 and is connected to an upwardly extending link 20, which in turn is connected to a forwardly extending arm of a dog-rocker 22, pivoted at 23 andwhich is provided'with the usual restoring spring 24 and feed dogs 25. The feed dogs cooperate with an escapement wheel 26 which'is operatively connected to a feed pinion 27. A carriage 28 carries a platen 29 and the carriage bar 30 has oppositely disposed 'rooved tracks 31 in which bearing or antifriction balls 32 are received. .Oppositely dis osed 'fixedtracks 33 likewise cooperate wit 1 the antiafriction ballsto support the carriage in place and afford an easy travel thereof fromside to side of the machine.

Projecting rearwardly from. the carriage are supporting arms 34 to which a tabulating sto rod 35 is secured. The stop rod 35 is pre erably co-extensive with the length of the carriage andis provided with suitable means for affording an adjustment of the column stops 36, 37, 38 and 39 thereon. In the present instance the means for affording the adjustment of the stops consist in forming grooves or slots-4t) in opposite sides of the stop rod for the reception of thc bifurcated portions of the stops. so that thc stops are ada'ptcd'to straddle the stop rod, whcrcas the parallel sides 41 are received in the grooves at opposite sides of the rod and the stops are secured in this manner against longltu 'dlnal.'dlsplawmcnt on the rod.

From an examination of Fi -6 it will be i observed that the concting or arresting portions 42 on the various stops project to diffcrcnt distances from the rod for purposes which will hcrcinnilcr more clearly appear.

A tnbulating key lever 43 is mounted on a .i

gimbal or universal joint so that it is adapted to receive a swinging horizontal motion and also a vertical swinging movement. bracket 44 is secured by screws 45 to the top plate of the machine and the outwardly extending arm 46 of the bracket is perforated to receive a vertical pivot 47 which extends freely theretln'ough. This pivot is formed as a part of the bifurcated carrier 48. The lower end of thevertical pivot 47 is threaded for cooperation with the nut -19 to secure the carrier 48 against removal from. the bracket arm 46, but to enableit to receivea turning movement thereon. The bifurcatml portion to restore it to the normal position.

of the carrier 48 receives the tabulating lever 43 between the arms thereof and a p1vot5l) connects the tabulatmg lever to the carrier and enables the tabulating lever to receive a vertical swinging movement.

A restoring spring 51, which is in thenature of a leaf spring, is secured to, or forms part of, a disk 52 that is supported on the carrier and is secured to turn therewith so that the spring 51 is alwaysmaintained in a position where it exerts an upward pressure on the lever 4;) The rear end of the lever 43 carries a rack 525 that stop rod to bring the denominational stop' movement in bearin s 59 and 50 one'o'f f: 7

which is supported near each end of the rock shaft on the top plate by screws (it) and tit)". A coiled spring (5] surrounds the rock shaft and bears at its inner end against a collar 62,

which is secured to the rock shaft by a screw 62, whereas the opposite end of the spring bears against the bearing 59, thus tending to exert an expanding force which normally maintains the rock shaft in the longitudinal position shown in Fig. 3.

Projecting from the rock shaft 58 is a denominational stop 63 which may be rotated to different positions and into the paths of the different column stops 36, 37, 38 and 39 in accordance with the extent of rotation given the denominational stop rod 58, as will 'be clearly understood from an inspection of Fig. 6. The rotation of the 63 into the path of the different column'stops is effected )y has a finger piece 43 that projects through a frime 64. I This frame is preferably a four sided frameand is preferably mounted-so that it may receive a vertical movement on antl-f'rictlon rollers 65 which are pivoted Thus a the tabulating lever 43 which is normally r'naintained in an elevated position 'by expansion springs 69, one at each side of the frame and each of which bears at one end against the bottom ofthe frame and at the o pos1te-end against a fixed bar or support 70,. and dowmvardly projecting:

arms 7] on the frame are adapted to bear against the support 70,- limiting the down-- ward movement of the frame. The frame has a series of vertical slots 72 throughout the width thereof and each slot is of a width sufficient to receive thetabulating lever 43%. A side wall of each slot, and preferablvthe right hand wall, is notched, as'indieatcd by 73, for cooperation with a laterally ])l'()](.('.ll-

ing tooth. 74 on the tabulating lever. series of indices, such, "for instance, as the" numerals l 2, and 4 are provided on the,face of the frame (54, one near each of the'notches 73, the numerals being progressively arranged with the numeral at the hottom or at the lowermost notch and the numeral 4 at the uppermost notch in each slot. ()n the front of the upper cross bar of the frame 64. and opposite each vertical slot 72 therein, is a numeral or index, the various indie is extendingfrom right 'to left, as follows Theforward end of' a carriage releasing lever 75 proects beneath the lower cross bar of the frame 64, the lever itself being pivoted at 76 to an arm '77 which extends from the bracket that carries the tabulating lever 43. The rear end of the lever 75 extends beneath a lever 78 at the rear of the machine,

end; thereof, so as to form broad lifting shoes 88 which extend under the feed rack which cooperates with the feed pinion 33 and is connected at its end to arms 90 which are pivoted at 91to the carriage.

lfrom the foregoing it will be understood that a depression of the frame 64, through the tabulating lever 43, effects a downward depression on the forward end of the lever 75, transmitting motion through the" levers 7S and 82 to the rack releasing device 86 2O cates the thousands denominational position 'of engagement with the releasing the carriage to which is thus elevated to lift the rack inent thereof under the propulsion of the spring drum 92 that is connected to the carriage through a band 93 secured at one end to the drum and at its opposite end 94 to the carriage.

In the operation of my device the proper columnar position and denominational position in that column can be read1l y secured by a single operation of the device. -Thus it i may be assumed that the operator desires to write 7000 within the second column, which column is controlled or determined by the column" stop 38. To el'l'ectthis it is merely necessary for the operator to move the tabulating lever 43 from right to left along a horizontal slot 95 until he reaches the position indicated by the index 1000 whichindh of arrest which the operator desires to secure.

.The tabulating lever 43 is then depressed within the vertical slot 72 under theindex 1000 until it reaches the notch indicated by the index 2 which indicates the second column, and a slight movement to the right [,is sufficient to cause an engagement of the tooth 74 on said lever in said notch.

After an engagement between the lever 43 and the releasing frame 64 is thus effected, a further slight depression of the lever, until the frame raiser 86 and the carriage will be arrested at is arrested by the stop 71 coming in contact with the sto '70, will release the carriage through the evers 75, 79, and the rack the thousands position in the second columnar field and the operator may proceed to write 7.000. The movement of the key lever 43 along the horizontal slot 95 effected a horizontal swinging movement of the lever and produced a longitudinal movement of the rock shaft 58 in its hearings to secure the proper denominational positioning of the denominational stop 63 without, however, effecting a rotation of that stop. The vertical movement of the lever 43 in the slot 72 effected a vertical swinging movement of the rack 53 and thus roduced, through the gear connection with t e pinion 56, a partial rotation of the shaft 58. This resulted in turning the denominational stop 63 to a position where itwas in position to cooperate with the cated by the index 2,

second column stop 38 as determined by en gagement of the lever in the notch 73 indiment of the tabulating lever in the notch 73 in the manner described, the further depres sion of the tabulating lever resulted in transniitting movement through the various connectlons to the rack lifter which was cfleetive to ralse the rack from engagement with its feed pinion, thereby freeing the carriage and the denominational sto 63 was properly po- After the engage- 89 out 1 and the carriage ran free until this particular feed pnnon, thereby column stop was brought afford a free movef be understood that the impact of the carriage 55 sitioned in the path 0 the column stop 38} on the stop63 tends to move the rock shaft 58 longitudinally towards the left and this movement, transmitted to the lever 43, tends to force the forward end thereof towards the right, but at this time the'lcver is seated against a side wall of the frame with the tooth 74 in one of the notches 73, and thus any tendency to shift the stop 63 from the position in which it is set, by an impac't-of'the carriage against the. sto will be resisted by the foz' -"ard end of the ever bearing against a side a all of a slot 72- 'and the stop 63 will thus be maintained against accidental displacement from the position to which it is set and cannot be dislocated or moved from this position by the impact of the carriage.

In Figs. 7 and 8 I have shown another form. of construction embodying myinvention. In this construction the means for effecting a rotation and longitudinal movement of the rock shaft 58*, which'corresponds to the rock shaft 58 in the construction previously described, is the sameas that heretofore described i'nconnection with Figs; 1 to 6 of the drawings. In the modified construction, however,-instead of the denominational stop receiving a rotary movement with the rock shaft it receives a rectilinear movement to different extents fore and aft of the machine to interpose it in the path of the different column stops carried'by the carriage and, projecting to different distances there'- from; thus the shaft 58 is mounted in bearings 96 and 97 secured to the top plate of'the machine and adapted to receive rotary and longitudinal movements therein. The outer end of the rock shaft has apinion 98 and side plates 99 secured thereto in the same manner as in the construction heretofore described.

A. coiled expansion spring 100 surrounds the rockshaft and bears at one end against the bearing 96 and at its other end againsta sleeve 101 secured to the rock shaft by a set screw 102 so that the tendency of this expansion spring is to move the rock shaft in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 8, or from left to right when examined fromthe rear of the machine. A yoke or bearing piece 103 has two arms 104 which arespaced a art and perforated to receive the rock .is aft 58 loosely therethrough. Sleeves 105 are securedto'the rock shaft by screws 106, one on each side of the member 103 and on each sideof the arms 104 thereoflso that any longitudinal movement of the shaft 58 will effect a corresponding movement of the part 103, though the shaft may receive 'a rotary movemerit independently of the part 103,- and in order to prevent the part I03 from rotating with the shaft 53 a pin or spindle 107 projects from and is secured to adepending member 108 on the part or bearing 103. The

vthe shaft. A pinion 109 is secured to theshaft 58 between the arms 104 and this pinion meshes with a rack 110 secured to the slide 111 on which a denominational stop 112 is formed or securedt The slide 111 is received in an undercut way or guide 1 13 in the member 103 so that the slide and the stop 112 connected thereto may receive a rectilinear movement to di'llerent extents fore and aft of the machine to bring it-into cooperation with di'll'erent column stops 114, 115, 116 and 117 which are carried on a stop rod 118 secured to the carriage and which corresponds to the stop rod 35 of the construction previously described.

From an examination of Fig. 7 it will be observed that the stops 11am 117 extend to dili'erent distances from the stop'bar and thatthe extent of forward movement of the stop 112 will bring it into cooperation with the (lilterent column stops, determined by the extent of the movement of the step 112, and that the other stops to the left thereof (when viewed from the front of the machine) will not cooperate with the denominational stop at this time.

The operation otthe construction shown in Figs. 7 and 8 is similar to that previously described in connection with the other figures, thus the horizontal swinging move ment of the tabulating lever determines the dcnoiuinational position oi the stop 112 by moving it longitudinally with-the shaft 58, whereas a vertical'movement oi' the tabulating lever 'ell'ects a rotary movement of the shaft 58", thereby turi'iing the pinion 101) to dill'erent extents determined by the extent of vertical movement ol" the tabulating key lever. 'lhe rotary movement thus transmitted to the pinion will eliect a forward,

movemcntof the stop 112 to bring'it into the path of the proper column stop to arrest-the carriagcat the proper columnar field without nar field may be situated and'at thesa-me' the necessity of first arresting the carriage at the preceding columnar fields determined by the preceding column stops.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that either ol the constructions described require but a single movement of the single tabulating key 43 in one directim'i' and then in another to secure an arrest of the carriage by single operation in thepro-per columnar field, no matter where that columtime to secure the proper denominational positioning of the carriage within the se lected columnar field.

Should the operator desire merely to use the tabulating mechanism as a column jumper or to 'all'ord a movement of the carriage to any desired columnar field without first arresting the carriage at the pre- 1t at a particular denominational position within the selected field, it is merely necessary to depress the key lever 13 to the desired extent in the first vertical slot 72 in the frame 64, or in that slot 72 over'which the key lever is normally situated and over which the decimal mark or index is located. It will be understood that this straight down ward movement of thetabulating key from its normal position will not effect a denominational positioning of the denominational stop, but will merely move'it forward to the desired extent to cooperate with the parand the selection of which depends on the extent of depression of the tabula ting key. The release of the carriage is efi'ected in the manner proviously described without affecting a change in the denominational position of the stop 63 (or 112).

- When 1 refer herein to a carriage, it

my present invention it is innnaterial whether the carriage be a platen carriage such as is shown in the accompanying drawings or is any other kind of a typewriter carriage, such, for instance, as a type action 'carrying carriage of the character sometimes employed in liat platen machines.

When I refer herein to arresting the car riagc atany desired columnar positionor field l mean that the carriage may by one movement be brought to the desired columnar field whether that field be theisecond, third, or fourth field, and thatit is unnecessary to bring the carriage to a stop first at one field an d then at the next and so on until the desired columnar field is reached.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that either mechanism shown and described is operative to arrest the carfirst arresting the carriage at the preceding columnar fields; that this result may be secured with a single key and a single actua .tion or stroke thereof; that the denominational stops 63 and 112 are moved to diliertermining the denominational position of arceding columnar holds and without arresting ticular column stop which is to be selected will be understood that for the purpose of ice riage at any desired columnar field without rest of the carriage and the movement of I junction with said means to cause the careach stopin the other direction determining the columnar= position of arrest of the car riage. It will alsobe seen that notwithstanding the fact that the tabulating key lever 43 and its key-43 are moved to different extents in two directions and that the stop 63 (or 112) controlled thereby is likewise moved to different extents in two directions, the release of the carriage will, nevertheless, always be effected at the same time relative to the proper inter-positioning of the stop and irrespective of the extent of movement of the denominational. stops. In other words, the carriage is always released after the stop 63 (or 112) has received its proper denominational position and after the said stop has been interposed in the path of the proper column stop, notwithstanding the fact that in order to secure the proper denominational and columnar position of arrest it is necessary to move the sto 63 (or 112) to diilierent extentsin two irections, and that, therefore, the cooperation of the stops to arrest the carriage in the proper position is assured. Then again it will be seen that the same tabulating mechanism comprising the single set of stop devices 63 (or 112) and 36, 37, 38 and 39 (or 114, 115, 116 and 117) are operable by the same key actuated controlling means to arrest the carriage at any desired columnarposition and are also operable to arrest the carriage at any desired denominational position Within the selected column.

It will be seen from the foregoing'that I have provided column selective means and denominational positioning means whereby the operator may, by the operation of a single key connected with said means, cause the arrest of the carriage at will in any desired or selected column field and at any desired or selected denominational position in said field.

While I have shown and described with considerable particularity two forms of construe-tion embodying my invention, it should be understood that various changes may be .made without departing from the spirit of my invention and that I do not limit myself to the constructions shown and described.

It will likewise 'be understood that various changes in the construction may be rendered necessary in order to adapt the invention to different forms of typewriting machines, although the mechanisms shown may be applied to the Monarch, and possiblyto other existing forms of typewriting machines with out changing the structural features of said machines.
