Be it known the L-Fnanz WAGNER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the .borough of. Manhattan, -city,county', and '5 State of New York, have iiivented certain new and useful Improvementsv ,in 'ly e- Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification. A j

' I My vention relates to typewriting ma.- '11j chines, and has for its object toin'l rove Inachines of this character as regards t e several instrumentalities' generallfound in such machines, and the particii arobjects of my present invention are-1st; to so construct iii; the keys that they be capable of perform 5 .ingfdiiferent functions,.. accordin" to the -'movement they are iven; thus sun ry of the ordinary keys whic normally'operate the type-levers are so constructed that theynlay be' utilized for operating 'a tabulatingmechanis1n,-and one of the ordinary keys may; besides its customary finic'tiomhave that of moving the -ca.rri'age"liaekward. 2nd.- to improve the detail construction ofv the-margin Ste s and'of the tabillatinglsto'ps which move wit i-the carriage;

The invention also consists in certain features of construction and combinations of V parts, as will be fully described hereinafter 3b "and specifically pginted out in the claims.

I' desire it to understood that vVhile. I have "shown what I coiisider at' present the .best manner of carryin' my ihv'ent'ion-into efl'ect, various'modificatiohs may be made inv the arrangement andco'nstruction of the seveiral parts Without departing. from thenature of my invention.

Here the hem portion of the ey-lever'co'mprise'se key 37, having ashank 38 and'alongitiidinal rn'emf' ber 39, provided with a 'lip- 40, which extends into a recess at the front end 33 of the memb rf33 of the key-lever. There is further provided an arm '41, whichextends throu' h an epefiiiig 33 t6 engage-the imes en t e iegopposite to that onwhich ate-member lever further held in position-by means of a sprmglatch 42, whicLs secured to the members'33 and 43, and isfprovided at its .front end with a pin 44 arran ed to ass throu h a suitable aperture int c mem era 33 an '39. A projection45isprovided, so

' that the latch 42 may be readily manipulated.

7 It will be understood that by swinging the latchupward so as to release the member 39 from the in 44, the forward member of the key is ma e free so that it maybe first moved forward to disengage the hp 40 fro'nrthe front portion 33, and then" upward to entirel separate the- parts 37, 38, 39, 40. and,

41, om the machine. hen these: parts,-

which I may call a removable frontsection of the key-lever, have been taken'oif, I may substitute for them another front section,

which enables-the key-lever to be used for performing some function in addition to its ordinary function of swinging the typ elever into. the printing position. This double upon the key-lever mem function attachment is shown in detail in Figs. 7 and 8, End comprises alongitudinal member 46,-provided with a slot 46, which receives the-pin 44. The spring-47 normally holds the member 46 and the parts connected therewith in a forward position, said spring ed with a lug 33'- being detachably enga er 33. Atitsfront end, the longitudinal member 46 "is provided with laterally projected flanges ,46" provided with lips 46, projecting towar each other. At its rear, end the member46 has lips 46' embracin the edges of the member 33. It will thus e seen that the front key section inthiscase is movable longitudinally of the rear section 33.

. 'Between the flanges 46 and the lips 46 is held to slide vertically the shank '48'of the key 49, the latter being provided with anupward projection for the purpose of ena-v bl-ing the front key section tobe readily i pressed rearward b the operators finger.

lhe shank 48 is furt er guided by aT-shaped projection 46 on the side of the member 46, near its lower end. A-spring 51, which is secured to the member '46 and bearsagainst a projection 48 of the shank 48, normall keeps the key 49 inits up er position.- downward movement of the ey 49 and of the shank relatively to the key-lever 33 is normall prevented by projections 48 and 48, of w 'ch the former pro ects above :1 lug 33*,

while the latter fits under a lug 33, shown best in Fig. 12. This lug 48 serves substantially the same pu ose as that of the 11p 46 which is engaged y the projection 48? ofthe shank 48., It will'be understood that the parts which 'I have termed the double function attachment may be. readily disconnected from thekey-lever 33 when desired.

When the key 49 is pfessed down While in the position illustrated Fig. 2, it operates the corresponding typeever 21, and also by her carried b bar 52." This baris movable from front to rear, its movement being limited by the stop 53, which is so arranged-that the motion of 4 the ke -lever will bestopped before the type means of amarm 33 acts on the universal lever 15.

the arm 58 is forked-and has lateral pins 62,:

one of which is adapted. to 'Be engaged at a .tiine-by a coupling member- 63, the ends of whichf'are slottedfior purpose. This cou ling member is inpernia'nent engagement wit screwsor'pins'64, .whidh are secured. to

Atvthe same time, that portion of theyfeedbar which has the o crating member 81 will move in front or to t me right of the portion 77 so as to prevent the dog 77 from moving to theright under the influence of the spring which propels the carriage. When the feed bar is again allowed'to rise,

At the end of this movement, the dog -7 7 will be in operative relation to the feed bar, but the dog 78 will be insuch a position that when the operating member 80.co,mes down without depressing the dog 78. Therefore, at a second downward movement of the feed 7 7 will be depressed, and at the same time the movement of the carriage will be prevented by the fact that the operating member 80 lies in front of the portion 78 of the feed dog 78. T he feed d g-7-7 will be caused to move to the leit by the spring 7 6, that is, it will return to the positionshown in Fig. 4, and when the feed bar 67 rises sufficiently to remove the operating member 80 from the path of the dog 7 8, the

spring which'pro .els the carriage will draw t e latter towar the right, thus brin ing l ig. 4. he position of .the feed dogs is, theremovement of the feed bar. Inany'event, however, one of the feed dogs acts as a stop to tern orarily hold-the carria e, while the other eed dog is shifted 'lengt Wise of the carriage to a new spacing position, and the The s anks .48 of the forward key memrovided with toes 48 $48 respectively, he rear toe 48,isadapted to en-' rigid with said arms 83. 1 The rear end-of the lever is connected with the tabulating; stop-bar 86, movable vertically in suitable on the frame. The upper end of the e path of a stop on the carriage. t will be obvious t at accordingias the stop 86 israisedmore or less, the carriage j-will be arrested at different-points. In order to obtain this'resu'lt', the toes"48 of the differ: ent keys are of different len he, as best shown in Fig.- 1 so that each ey ma 7 impart a difiere'nt movement to the tabuiating stop. The front part of the machine would preferably lieprovided with suitable indica tions adjacent to each of the he s, which are constructed to operate the tabu ating device, or such indications could be marked-directly on the key members 50. Preferabl one ofthe keys is arranged to'raise the ta ulating stop 86 two steps, which would correspond to tens; the other keys would raise the tabulating stop three, four, five, six and seven steps, corresponding to hundreds, thousands, and higher denominations; It will be understood that the distances between successive steps correspond to'*'lctterspaces. These double function keys are pref erably arranged in the uppermost or rear row of the keyboard and are usually the numeral keys, that is in addition to acting as denominational tabulating keys, these keys are also arranged to operate type bars for printing ordinals. These keys increase in value from left to right, 2, 3, 4, etc. up to 9, id when said keys are used for tabulating, purposes as hereinbeiore described, the carriage movement which they allow correspends to the ordinal value of said numeral keys. That is the numeral key 3 will cause the carriage to jump to a space one denomination higher than will the numeral key marked12, the movement increasing onelet ter space from one numeral ke to the next at the right hand of it. It wi therefore be seen that the relative lateral movement of the oarria e is in accordance with the ordinal value of t erespective numeral keys.

When it is desired to have the tabulating mechanism operate in the usual we only, that is, without any denominationa stops, the operator depresses a tabulating key 87 located at the right-hand end of the machine (see Figs. 3, 5, and 15). This key is fulcrumed at 87*, and has a shoulder 87, which is adapted to engagethe tabulating bar 82. By pressing the tabulating key 87, the stop 86 will be raised one step only. The depression of the key 87, or of any one of the keys adapted to engage the tabulating bar 82, is ,also adapted to operate a carriage release mechanism and a brake mechanism,

nected-by a cross bar 90."=- The arms 8,9 are- '100 For this-purpose, each of said keys is proloose relatively tothe arms 83. The release bar 88 at its upppredge engagps' a toe or shoulder 87 out e .tabulatin ey 87, and} atits'lower'edge itengages a hp 87 on said tabulating key. Thus whenthe release her 88 is depressed by any one of the toes 48, the tabulating key 87 will be caused to move downward at the same time. The rear end oi the tabulatingv key is connected 'at- 87 with a link 91,-which-is pivotally connected sit-91 withfa lever 92, 'fulcrurned at 92. This leverha's a pin and slotconnection 92*, with a 'brake-and-a'release bar 93, which is drawn upward by a spring 94, and has at suitably guided movement in" a vertical directioni The release bar at its upper portion has a member 93 arranged to engage the feed dogs' 77, 78, so that upon a downward movement of the bar 93, the feed dogs will both be thrown outof engagement with the rack 75, thus allowing the carriage to be proielled by its spring. Theupper endoi the ar 93 also carries a brakefi inthe nature of ,a semi-elliptic spring actingin confine-1130' iio '35 stop comprises a sleeve 102 arranged to em brace the rod 101, and provided with a protion with a pad or cushion 95. The ends of the springnormally do not touch the upper surface of-the rack 75 at all, or only very slightl same manner when the key 87 aloneis depressed. 1

Iii-cases where it is not desired to use the particular stepped tabulating stop described,

may substitute therefor an ordinary stop 96, as shown in Fig.- 6, which stop is vertically movable and "is connected at its lower end with a lever 97, fulcrumed at 97 and having "a loose connection at 97 with an arm 92 on the lever 92. Whether the stop 86 or the sto 96 isused, the stop is normally kept in its ower position by means of an arm 98 engaging a pin 86? or 96 respectively, said arm emg under the influence of a spring 99 (see 4); 1 he tabulating stop on the carriage which 006 erates with. the mechanism just descri ed is'shown in detail in Figs. 14 and 15.

This stop is adapted to be adjustably held in position on the rack 100 which is rig dly connected with the carriage and the teeth of which correspond to letter-spaces- The stop is mounted to slide lengthwise on a. bar or rod 101, also rigid with the carriage. The

jection 102 ada ted to ride on a bar 103 of the carriage- T e stop has anothermember 104, which at its upper end is provided with a pointer 104 arranged to indicate on a scale 105. A spring 106 (shown best in Fig.11)

tends to t row the projection 102 down on the bar 103,:and the member 104 in a forward direction at its lower ortion. In front of this lower portionxis ocatedthe rack .100 hereinbefore mentioned. With this rack is adapted to be engaged the stop proper 107, pivoted at. 107 and pressed downward by a is ring '108 into the'path of the sto 86 or 96'.

he forward edges of the sides of t e member i or casing 104 are adapted for locking engage ment with .the rack 100. The stop proper 107 projects through a suitable opening 104 in the casing 104, and may, when desired,be swung byhand into an inoperative positlon. When in'it's inactive position, the stop proper -ishe'ld from outward movement under the influence of the spring 108 by means of a latch 109, pivot at 119' and having a shoulder" 1'09 to hold the stop proper 107.

This latch is under the influence of a spring I 110, and'has a fingr=piece 109 projecting exteriorlgnof the casing 104, so that by pressing this gar-piece to the left (see Fig. 12),

to the s eeve 102 against the tension of the spring 106, and then sliding the entire stop on the rod 101' and bar 103 until the proper position is reached. While I have shown only one stop of this character, it will be understood that two or more of them may be provided, thus enabling the carriage to be sto ped successively at different points.

he margin stops are-shown best in Figs. 4, 13 and '14. Each of these stops comprises a casing 111 provided with a sleeve 111 arranged to fit on the same rod 101 which carries the tabulating stop or sto 5. These margin-stops are also engaged with their casings between the teeth of the rack 100 and are adjustable lengthwise of the carriage in the same manner as the tabulating stop. Within eachfof the casings 111 is pivoted about an axis 112 extending transversely of the rod 101 a margin stop proper 113, adapted to engage-the permanent sto 113. The ends of the carriage are adapte to engage cooperatingrelatively stationary stops 114, 115, res ectively. Each margin stop 113 is presse in one direction by a coiled spring 116 against the casing 111, so that the margin stop. may yield in one direction, but will act as a stop when the carriage moves in the opposite dlrection. Of course the arrangement of the stops is such thatone of them will stop the carriage on its movement from right to left, and the other will sto it on its movement from left to right. he stationary'or permanent stop 113 is mounted on a rock-shaft 116, and one rock-shaft 117 is rigidly secured the bell trip 118. With the stop 1 13* is rigid or integral an arm 119 having a'sto pin 120 projected into engagement with t e bell-trip.- A spring 121 acts to keep the bell-trip against the pin 120. The shaft 116 also carries a crank arm 122, which is connected by a link 123 to 'a relcase key lever 124, pivotedat 125. By pressing the release key 126, the permanent stop 113 is swung out of the path of the margin sto s 113, so that if desired the rintin may e continued on the margin. t will e under- "stood that the malzgin'stops proper 113 can swing in an inward irection onl ,and cannot swing outward. Therefore, when the carriage moves in one direction one of the stops 11.3 will act to arrest the carriage, but t 1c other stop 113 will swing over the permanent stop without any action. The shaft 117 which carries the bell-trip 118 is also provided with astriker 127, arranged to. ring the bell 128. As shown in Fig; 4, that face of the trip 118 which is adapted to enga ethe margin stop 113 is beveled so that as't e carriage soon as the margin stop 11 3 clears the belltrip, the spring restore the parts to-thcir' first position, and will throw the striker against the bell.

the bell may be timed, the benanp proper an -adjustable connection.

may be ad-ljustable on the arm carrying .it in a direction engthwise of the carriage. This may be done in any suitable manner, for instance, by meansof an adjusting screw 12-9 on aging a slot of the carrier.

he permanent etc 113' which becomes 0 erative at the end 0 the linefma be mova le lengthwise of the carriage pat so that before the said. stop positively arrests the carriage, it will receive a certain movement, and this movement of the permanent stop may be utilized for the purpose of locking the key levers before the carriage is arrested.

The mechanism for effecting this is more fully described hereinafter, and comprises a stop-member arranged to engage and lock the universal bar, so that the ke levers cannot be operated. Even when t c said looking mechanism for the key levers is employed, the keys may be released again by pressing the key 126 so asto continue printing on the margin whenever desired.

- To enable the carriage to be movedlb ack one space or more, I provide 'a toothed dog 130, secured on an arm 131,. referably by his arm is guided upon a' pin-or screw 132, and is connected at 131Fwith a. bell crank lever 133, rulcrumed at 133. This bell crank lever is connected by a link 134 with a lever 135 fulcrumed at 1.35. The forward 'end 'of this lever is arran ed to be engaged by a key of the character escribed with reference to Figs: 7 and 8, when the forwardsectionof such key is pressed'down inxthe rear position.

.- In order to lock the rear section or body of when the forward sections are forced back,

these keys ainst downward movement the frame is provided'with a plate 136 (see Fig. 20) with teeth or prongs 137, between which the key levers .move, and when the keys are in their rearposition, the flange 46 takes over one of the prongs 137 so that only the slide 48 can-move downward.

.It will be understood that by depressing the key which operates the back spacing dog 130, the said dog is brought-into engagement with the rack and moves the carriage to the right, andthe movement of the operating key may be so limited as to'fe'ed t e carriage to the rightthe. distance of one letter-space. By operating) the key twice or more, the carriage may e moved to the right two or more letter spaces. The gen eral featufes of the 08,1118, e construction may be the same as ordinar' y used, or any new construction maybe employed.

In order that the action of 138'istheplaten. v 1

139.is the release lever, which, through the medium of links 140, operates on a plate .141, which is guided by oblique slots- 141 and-screws 142 so that it may be thrown In order that ta ulating stops may be put on-or removed from the rod 101 without removingthe margin stops from the cara section 101*, which is permanently fixed to the carriage, and into which screws the endof thebody portion of said rod. The length of the section 101 is such that'it will accommodate the adjacent margin stop. When it is desired to add or remove the tabulating stops, the margin stop is shifted over on section-=101", thenthe body of the rod 101 is turned, a screw-head 101 being becomes separated from the section 101 and then additional tabulating stops may be put on, or such stops may be'removcd, as desired, while the margin stops remain on the carriage.
