TYPE-WRITIN MIAGHINEl To all whom. it may] com-era:

Be it known that l, .(lmo B. Yaw, a citizen Of the United States, and resident of Arlington, in the county of lludson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful improvements in 'lypcl hiting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to t chines and more particular-l mechanism.

()ne of the ohjccts of my invention is to provide a key at the kcyhoard of the machine which is indcpemlcnt of the lahulatiiig mechanism for cllorting a rel use of the carriage.

Another ohject of my invention is to provide simple and ellicicnt nieans for locking the stops of the tahulating niechanisn'i 'in. C OliPQJHtlVG relation.

' base of the machine. Each key lever 4 is connected to a link 6 which in turn is con nected at its upper end to a type bar 7' mounted in. a hanger Ssecured to the top plate. A space bar or key is connected at 30 its ends to levers 1.0 fulcrumed on the bar 5, the lovers 10 being disposed at opposite sides of the printing key levers in the usual man nor, said levers as well as the printing key levers cooperating with restoring springs 11.

A universal bar 12 extends beneath the prin ting key levers 4 and the space key levers 10 and is connected. at its ends to upwardly extending links 13 pivoted at their upper ends to rearwardly projecting crank armsl l' on a rock shaft l5 mounted in hearings in brackets 16. The rock shaft 15 is provided near the center thereof with a depending crank arm 1? connected to a rearwardly extending link l8-pivotcd at its rear endto a depending arm 19 of a bell crank lever piv' otcd at 2() to a bracket 21 secured to the base of the machine by screws 22. An upwardly and rearwardly extending arm 23rd the hell crank lever is pivoted'to an upwardly ex tending link 24 connected at its upper end to a forwardly extending, arm 25 of a dog rocker. Said dog rocker comprises a shaft 26 pivoted at its ends in bracket arms 27 and provided with an upwardly extending arm ".28 which carries feed dogs 29 cooperative with an esrapen'icut wheel 30. The escapement wheel is opcrativcly connected to a shaft 3i which turns in a hearing 32 secured to the top plate of the machine and provided at its forward cnd with a feed pinion 33. A feed rack 34 is connected to arms 35 pivoted at 36 to a carriage truck. 37. The carriage truck carries rollers 38 which cooperate with a fixed guide rod or rail 39 and is also 'providc'd with a rcarwardly extending arm 40 which coo wratcs with a second parallel guide rod or rail 41. Aplatcn frame 42 is pivoted at 43 to links 44 which in turn are pivoted to the truck to afford a case shift movement of the platen frame. A rotary platen 45 is car- 1 ricdon a shaft 46 which is journalcd in bearings in the platen frame. The platen frame carries at the forward side thereof a roller 47 which hears upon a shift rail idsup vibratory arms or levers 45) by which the case shilling movcmcnt'of the platen is effected.-

A spring drum 50 is connected by a hand or strap 5! to the carriage to move the carriage in the direction. of its food when the cscapc- Ll )ortcd on ment mechanism is actuated. The constructlon of the machine as thus far described is somewhat: similar to that ordi-v ate connections and affording a letter space to thetabulator frame.

movement of the carriage,

Rearwardly extending bracket arms 52 are secured to the carriage and carry a column stop bar 53 slotted at 54 on opposite sides thereof for codperation with adjustable bifureated column stops 55. A tabulator frame 56 is secured to the frame of the machine in the usual manner by screws 57 cooperative with the base of the machine by a shoulder 57 and by a yoke bar 58 which extends from the tabulator frame to the guide rod or bar 41. Vertically disposed denominational stop levers 59 are pivoted at 60 in the tabulator frame and are connected at their lower ends to push rods 61 which extend forwardly through openings in a detachable extension 62 secure to the base of the machine and each of these rods is provided at its forward end with a finger button or key 63. Restoring springs '64 are each connected at one end 65 to a rod 61 and at the o posite end to a pin 66 secured to the'memlder 62. The upper end of each denominational stop lever is provided with a forwardly extending member 67 which constitutes a denominational stop. These members are guided in a two-part comb plate 68 secured by screws 69 The projection 67 on each lever 59 has a cam portion 7 O in the rear of which is a locking slot or recess 71. A locking plate 72 is mounted to slide vertically in grooves 73 (see Fig. 6) formed in the .tabulator frame and the upper edge of this looking plate bears against the-lower edges of the different denominational stops 67, it being understood that the width of the locking plate is greater than the width of the system of denominational stops. A contractile spring 74 is connected atone end to a for wardly projecting pin 75-on the. locking plate and at its opposite end to a pin 76 carried by the lower member of the two-part comb plate 68. The pressure of this spring is exerted to move the locking plate upwardly and to maintain the upper edge thereof in contact with the lower edges of the denominational stops. When a tahulator key 63 is pushed in the corresponding denolninational stop will be moved forwardly into the path of the column steps 55. The effect of this movement of the denominational step will be to cam the locking plate down until it clears the lower end of the cam when it will be forced by its spring up zi'rdly into the looking notch 71 to lock the iii-1 uated denominational stop in its projected position.

I have rovided means for automatically releasing t 1e locked denominationalsto by the subsequent actuation of a prlnting ey.

These means comprise a frame consisting of two arms 77 ivoted at their upper ends to the sides of t 1e 'tabulator frame 56 as indicated at 7 S and the arms are bent rearwardly attheir lower ends where they are connected by a so-called universal bar 7 9 which extends across the path of thedenbminational stop levers-59. This frame is restored to and normally held -in the position shown in Figwl by a springfl79. Pivoted to the universal b ar 79 and extending forwardly between the denominational stop levers is a lever or device 80 which is bent downwardly at its forward end, as indicated at'S], the downward end extending between the printing; key levers andto a point considerab y below, said. levers.

thereof and are provided with hook-like bear ing portions that pivot on a pivot rod 86 secured to the base of the machine above the printing key-levers. A universal bar 87 is connected at its ends with the side. arms 84 and is normally below and out of the path of the printing key levers, as shown in Fig. 1. This universal bar extends beneath the various printing key levers, but not beneath the levers 10 of the space bar or key. A cam face 88 is formed on the lever 80 81 for cooperation with the cross bar 83 of the frame which carries the universal bar 87 and the lower end of said cam terminates at the finger 82. A shoulder or rest 89 is formed at the upper terminal of the cam face 88 for cooperation with the cross bar 83, as will hereinafter appear. An upwardly extending link 90 is pivoted at its lower end as at 91 to the lever 80* 8], the upper end of said link being pivoted at 92 to the lockingv plate. When a 'tabulator key is actuated to project the associate denominational sto 67 into the path of a column stop as herein efore described the partswill'be locked in the )ositions to which they have'laech moved by 'the locking plate 72. Iltweve'r, the locking plate is afterwards automatically released as will appear from what follliws. The actuation of the tabulator key is effective to bring the lower end of the associated denomination'alstop lever 59 in'to cooperation with the universal bar 79, thereby moving the frame thereby forcing the cross bar 83 upwardly until it rests on the shoulder 89; As shown or rclc in Fig. 2 this movement results in carrying the universal bar 87 up into contact with the lower edges of the printing key levers, so that an actuation of any or the printing key levers at this time results in depressing the universal bar 87 and the parts connected thr-xrewith, so that the locking plate 72 will be moved down out of locking engagement with the projected denominational stop 67 by the cross bar 823', the lever Sll-$l and link 90, and the denominational stop being released from its locking mechanism will be restored to normal positionhy its restorin spring 64.

'lvi'o arms or lovers 9:} are likewise invoted to the universal her 79 and are spaced apart throughout portions oi their length. as indicated in F and are riveted together to form in efl'ect one lever. A link 94 is pivoted to a cross pin which extends between said arms and f" pivotally connected at its upper end, as at 45, to a carriage releasing device or lever 97 pivoted at 98 to a bracket 99 secured to the top plate of the machine'by a. screw or screws 100.

The forward end; of this releasing device or lever 97 carries a hi-' furcatecl or slotted plate 101, the arms of which extend on opposite sides of the feed pinion 33 and beneath the carriage teed. rack 34. The forward end portions of the levers or arms 93 have recessed portions 102 and slots 1.03. .1 he rear end portion of the lover 19 extends between the arms 93 and is provided with a pin 104 Whiclrprojec ,s from opposite sides thereof and which is adapted to cooperate with the slots 103 in the lovers 33, as will herein after more clearly appe r, so as to connect the lever l-)-23 and the levers 93 and cause them to move together. In the normal positions of the parts the pin 1041 located tree of the slots 103 and above the recesses 102 in the levers Q3, shown in Fig. 1, so that an actuation of the escapement mechanism. whether efi'cctcd hy a printing key or by the space key, merely results in. vibrating the pin it}! down and up in the recesses 16) in the levers 9.; without effecting a movement cl said levers. l hen. however a tahulating key is actuatml it results, as hercinhclorc pointed on t, in moving the univc sal har 7E) rcarwardly, thus moving the love, 5 93 rearwardly with it so that the pin 104 will he seated in th slots 193 as shown in Fig. 2 to connect the age releasing mechanism'with Llll sp key. ii at this time ssed, as shown in Fig.

3, the result will he to actuate the inlcrmedi ate connections hetnecn the universal bar 12 and the lover in -25 and a downward move ment of the rear end ol' said lever effects a dowim'ard moven'icnl oi ihc rear end of the carriz'tge rcliasing device or lever 97. This results in tin the forward end ofthe lever sing device to lift the feed rack out of engagcn'ient with the feedpinion and thus disconnecting the carriage from its escapement mechanism as indicated in Fig. 3. When pressure is released upon-the space key the lever ill-23 and the parts controlled thereby will resume their normal disposition shown in Fig. 2.

The operation is as follows :In order to effect an actuation of the tahulator the operator first pushes in the appropriate denominational or tabulator key 63, t ereby moving the associated denominational stop 67 forward into the path of the column stops 55. i The locking plate 72 will automatically engage the deiiominational stop and lock it in its projected position. The e'l'l'ect of this movement of the donon'iinatiimal stop throu h its associated donominational stop lever 59 is to move the universal hit-l 79 and the parts connected therewith rearwardly to establish an operative connection between. the lever 93 and the lever l9-23 which constitutes a part of the connections for actuating the escapement mechanism. This same movement also results in cannning the cross bar 83 up to and seating it on the shoulder 89 on the lever -8l, thus bringing the universal har S7 into cooperative relation with the printing keys. The operator may now depress the space key wl'iich results in actuating the train ofcrmncctions between the universal har .l 2 and the dog rocker which a is etl'ective to actuate the carriage release device 7 to free the .arri-agc from the control of its escapmnent mechanism. so that the locked denominational stop and one of the column stops on the carriage wil be brought into cooperation to arrest the carria e at the iced by its escz-ipement mechanism and the bar 79, arms 77 and the parts controlled thcrehy will be restored to normal positions shown in Fig. l.

From certain aspects of my invention it is immaterial What character of tabulating mechanism is employed. .t will also he understood that from ci-a'tain of my invention certain of the features thereof may he employed Without others. Thus the locking means for locking the stops in eo6pcrative relation may be employed Without the carriage releasing means, or the carriage rcleasing means maybe used without the locking means.

Various changes may he made Without departing from the spirit of my invention.
