To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, GEORGE L. CAMPBELL and HARRY G. DAVIS, citizens of the United States, and residents of lVilliamsport, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, have made certain new and useful Inventions Relating to Telegraph Bulletin-Printers, of which the following is a specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same.

This invention relates to telegraph bulletin printers and relates especially to telegraph printers suitable for use in printing newspaper bulletins and the like in page -orm on a continuous web of paper and in which the type may be as large as several inches in height, such printers being controlled if desired by a single electrical circuit over which well known alternating or other electrical impulses are sent out from a transmitting instrument.

In the accompanying drawings showing in a somewhat diagrammatic manner an illustrative embodiment of this invention and in which the same reference numeral refers to similar parts in the several figures, Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a partial side sectional view showing the inking devices. lP ig. 4 is an enlarged transverse sectional view showing the index latching and printing devices. Fig. 5 is a detail view showing the type shaft friction clutch. Fig. 6 is a detail view showing the latching devices. Fig. 7 is a detail view showing the feed and return gear. Fig. 8 is a detail side section showing printing and actuating devices. Fig. t) is a partial front view thereof. Fig. 10 is a detail showing the contact plate and arm; and Fig. 11 is a circuit diagram.

In the illustrative embodiment of this invention shown in the drawings a rigid frame for the machine mayY he formed of the side pieces GO, ('33 connected by suitable transverse braces. including the feed rail 190 a djacent the bottom, as shown in Fig. 1. The shaft 20T of the web roll 1Q? may as indicated in Fig. 2 be mounted on suitable bearings such as the friction rolls 125 supported in brackets on the frame. The continuous paper web 63 which may have a width of several feet if desired is preferably' led around a suitable floating or other tension device, such for example, as the tension roll 85 mounted in suitable arms 36 on the shaft 176 which may be loosely mounted in bearings in the frame so as to allow this floating roll to oscillate freely in the web loop. A brake 39 of any desired description may be mounted to cooperate with a suitable brake drum 180 on the web roll shaft 297 and the brake rod 37 may be pivotally or otherwise connected with the brake and have a suitable adjustable spring 38 normally holding the brake in engagement with the drum with the desired force. As the paper web 03 is withdrawn by suitable feeding devices the loop in which the floating tension rollS rests is shortened and the tension roll raised until its swinging arm 36 engages the brake rod and lifts the rod and connected brake free from the drum, whereupon the weight of the tension roll withdraws additional paper from the web roll until the brake again comes into engagement. In this way the paper is always kept under a definite tension and the undesirable strains incident to starting a large roll of aper are avoided.

As is indicated in Fig. et, the paper web may be passed over the guide rod 195 and under the printing platen cooperating with the type wheel 50 carrying the printi'xig characters. Then the paper web after ass.- ing around the roll 79 may be carrie upward to form an exposed bulletin face (35 of the desired extent and then pass over thc feed roll 135. The shaft 197 of this roll mounted adjacent the up er end of the frame may carry the feediing' ratchet 133 with which the holding pawl 1236 may engage and also the feeding' pawl 134i mounted on a feed arm 194 swinging about the shaft 19T so as to intermittently feed the paper forward an amount corresponding to ay line of the printed matter. A gripping roll 132 ma)7 be mounted in suitable grip levers 131 on the frame and forced against the feed roll to the desired extentl to give a goed gripping action thereto` this gripping roll being held in adjustment by a suitable wing nut 196 shown in dotted lilies in F ig. Q. The paper web may if desired be disposed of by being wound upon the winding roll 19.9 having the winding shaft 198 mounted in the frame and provided with a suitable frictional drive connected with the feed roll or other part of the machine.

The Windingpulleyi 61 loose on the winding shaft 128 is indicated in Fig. 1 as having the friction clutch or disk 162 pressed into engageinent therewith by a suitablespring so that the belt 163 connecting this winding pulley with a corresponding pulley 16st on the shaft 197 of the feed roll tends to overwiiid the winding shaft and roll, suitable slip taking place at the friction clutch so that the web is always wound on the winding roll 129 as fast as delivered by the feed roll and kept at the desired tension.

The type shaft 58 may be mounted in suit able bearings in the machine frame and carry rigidly secured thereto the index wheel 33 adjacent one end and a suitable contact arm 51 adjacent the other if desired, this arni as indicated in Figs. and 11 being provided with the desired number of suitable contact springs to cooperate with the annu- J lar rows of contacts on the contact plate or selector.

and contact springs are preferably mounted so that each contact may occupy a greater as 108, 109 may of course operate the escape` angular space and thus permit the more rapid operation of the machine. For the saine reason the index devices are also preterably provided with a plurality of annularly arranged rows of stop devices, such as the stop pins 32 and 57, for example, which as indicated may be arranged on either side of a single index wheel if desired, which may also be provided with a corresponding number of notches 222 adjacent its periphery as indicated in Fig. f1.

As indicated in Fig. 11 the contact spring lOl may cooperate with the inner ring of contacts and the contact spring 103 also mounted on the contact arm 51 may similarly cooperate with the outer ring of condevices on the index wheel. The sunflower controller, however, is preferably provided with several additional control .wcontacts which may as indicated in Fig. 11 be wired directly to the control devices of the machine, such for example, as the motor controlling magnets and 157 for holding the switch lever 102 in such position as to coinplete the circuit between suitable contacts 158 and 1(30 in the motor power or control circuit 159. 101. Similar contacts from the controller may also operate the paper feed magnet 35, the spacing magnet 113and so forth. rThis controller is of the regular suntlower construction employed in printing telegraphy having the escapemciit ratchet.

; 110 to operate. the controller arni 112 engaging the ring of contacts 100, all the contacts of the selector or contact plates being D ofcourse connected by the wiresI with A luralit i of rings of contacts the corresponding number of the controller contacts. Suitable escapement magnets, such ment pawl 111 to allow the controller arm 112 to rotate around the contacts when the cscapeinent magnets are actuated by the intermittent or alternating electrical impulses usually employed. Such impulses may be sent out over the

line wires

143, 144 connected to a number of printers to be simultaneouslyactuated by transmitting mechl anism diagrammatically indicated in Fig.

l1 as comprising a pin cylinder 145 having a spirally arranged series of pins on its petacts 106 of the selector. rthe spring 1023 5 may as indicated be connected with the commutator ring 52 with which the brush 523 eugages to energize the latch magnet 5t and in a similar way the contact spring 10-1 may be connected with the con'iniutator ring 52 with which the brush 53 engages to energize the latch magnet 54 at the desired time.

As indicated in Fig. 1, the type wheel 5t) may be slidingly mounted on the type shaft 5S and be rotated in unison therewith by the splines cooperating with corresponding slots in the hub ot' the type wheel, as shown riphery corresponding to the number of contacts on the controller. This cylinder is connected with a drive pulley 18S through the pinion 154 and gear 152 having a friction clutch connection with the shaft of the pin cylinder so that this cylinder normally tends to rotate and is continuously rotated except when one of its pins is engaged by the correspending key of tbe key-board` only one hey being indicated. This pin cylinder may be geared or otherwise connected with a suitable commutator 146 engaged by the brushes 177, 1.78 supplied with. current from a gencrater 14:9 through a circuit in which the resistances 174 are normally included. The brushes 170, bearing on this coininutator 140 thus normally send out over the line wires 143, lill alternating impulses of modcrate intensity sutiicient to actuate the sunber of contacts on the selector and with the number of stop pins, notches or other stop flower controllers on each instrument connected with the line. The pulle}l 188 also may be similarly connected with the operatingl .shaft 187 on which the connnutator 147 and detent wheel .14S are mounted and normally tend to rotate. The. operating magH net 181 in the line circuit is connected with the spring-actuated pawl '182 cooperating with the detent so as to accurately stop the detent and commutator at intervals of a partial revoliition. The brushes 1.83, 184 as indicated are connected in shunt around the l (ltl clutch lever and brought into engagement l with the clutch lever on the return clutch l operativelv engaging the return clutch shell To with the feed shaft 165 and rotating the same in the, direction indicated by the ar- E row to rapidly return the type wheel and its i feed carriage to the l e; i'i1inine` ot' the liue. rl`hereu11ion the engagement o'l the callar 1T by the stop 1S throws the control bar and control lever in the other direction, returnf ing the clutch lever 2 to the position indicated in the drawings so that the shifter Ti' is brought back into engagement with the feed clutch shell T5 which is once more clutched to the feed shaft 103 'for regular 3 feeding when the feed clutch latch 8 is detached.

The stopping or latching devices eoiperating with the index wheel may comprise the latch plate 91 pivoted about the pin h5 in the extension or bracket Jl ot` the frame. as indicated in Figs. t and G. This latch plate may carry one or more latches 5G, 5G pivoted thereto and yieldingly pressed inward by a suitable spring, such as 103.` Suitable latch magnets l, 5l may be mounted on the latch plate and provided with pivoted armatures normally held up in retracted position by suitable springs, suf-h as 102, in which position the upward extcn- 4 .siens ot` the varmatures rest below the lower extensions or tails 130. 13? of the latches so as to hold them in the disengaged inoper :nire position shown in Fig. t'. The latch plate may he connected with any desired cushioning' device such as the cushioning cylinder (30, the piston in which may have its connected cushioning' rod flo connected with the latch plate by the pivotetl link 18 hewn in Fig. l, a suitable spring 101 engaging' the outlet end U3 and nornially tcnding to return the cushioningl rod and connectcd piston into thel position indicated` the cushioning action on the piston being of course adjusted by the throttling or vadjusting valve G1.

When through the controller and lector devices previously described in connection with Fig.. 11 one ot` the selector contacts 10G for instance is energized, the spring' 102) carried b v the contact arm 51 i and the connected latch magnet 5t is correspondingly energized when the contact .spring passes into ei'igagement with the energized contact. This latch magnet thereupon instantly draws down itsl armature rei leasing the latch 5G which innnediatelyv swings inward into the path oic the stop pin t The if? on that side otl the index wheel 313.

' .stop piu swings the latch and connected latch plate outward, the inertia of the index and type wheels and connected parts being absorbed in the cushioning devices, so that the type wheel is quickly brought to a stop without undesirable shock, any desired form l drive shaft G5.

of connection between the cushioning devices, such as the cam 9i' on thercnshioning rod 9G, serving to force upward into the corresponding notch 222 in the index wheel the locking pawl 4T which may be pivotally mounted on the pin 221 in the projection 9&2 of the trame. As the locking pawl 47 rises s it. carriesI up the printing hook 121 normally loosely hooked over this pawl as indicated iu Figs. et and 9, this hook being pivotally or otherwise loosely connected with the hook lever 126 as shown in Figs. 4 and 9, this lever 126 being secured to the sleeve 119, the.

l other end of which carries the printing latch 11T cooperating with the one-revolution stop printing clutch 118 cooperating with the lVhen this latch is released the stop clutch automatically clutches the loose extension or cam shaft 223 with the drive shaft so as to make one revolution therewith, the cam S8 on this shaft engaging and forcing down the inner end of the latch detacher against its setting spring 101 so that its outer end rises and engages the l tail of the latch which has been operated and forces the same upward so as to swing the corresponding latch outward into the inoperative position indicated in Fig. G, so that the corresponding armature can swing upward and hold it in this position. The releasing pin 224 mounted on this cani shaft thereupon engages the hook finger 183 swinging the hook 121 outward away from the locking pawl, the cam 49 on this cam shaft also oscillating the lever actuator 48 shown in Figs. 8 and .l. The printing eccentric il on the cam shaftv is also simultaneously open ated oscillating the eccentric rod 4st and connected printing har Q1. mounted in the trame as indicated in Figs. 1 and A4. The link S25 serves to connect'J the upper end oi this bar 2l with the rock lever 26 pivoted to the printing rod 2T to operate the toggle levers Q9 connected with the printing platen U2 at various points along the same so as to :torce this printing platen and the paper beneath the same as indicated in Fie. 4 down into printing engagement with the cooperating type on the type, wheel 50. It desired, a

1 .suitable aliner may be employed to insure the accurate alinement of the index and type wheels and it desired a pivoted almer 31 may be used t'or this purpose and may be operated by a suitable connection, such as the pin 89 on the printing bar 24e projecting through a suitable slot 88 in the 'trame member and cooperating with a suitable slot in the aliner to force the same downward so that the inclined notches 124.-, 125 on either side ot' the wheel are adapted to coperate with the stop pins 57 thereon and Vtorce them into the narrow upper portions of these notches in which they lie When the printing contact takes place. The latch plate, after the release of the operating latch as indilGll lllO

its.;

cated, is of course forced backward into its l normal position indicated in Fig. 4 by the cushioning spring 104 and the locking pawl g 47 descends after the cam 97 has been disl engaged therefrom so that the printing hook l 121 may be swung into'place over the same 1 as indicated in Fig. 9 by a suitable spring shown in dotted lines.

The actuating lever 48 which as indicated is oscillated every time a character is printed is provided with a free end normally prot jecting beneath the feed hook 6 shown in l l1`ig. 1 and `somewhat diagrammatically in Fig. 8. This feed hook is pivoted at itslv lower end to the feed hook lever 7 loosely engaging at its lower end the feedvbar 116 i shown in Figs. 1 and 7, this feed barcarrying at its outer end the feed clutch latch 8 and thus withdrawing the same from engagement with the feed stop clutch 283 when the actuating lever 48 is oscillated, so as to i feed forward the type wheel and its car riage one space every time a character is printed. The spacing magnet 113 indicated in Fig. 7 also causes a similar spacing when actuated by the corresponding contact on the sunflower controller. This magnet or solengid may have its armature pivotally` connected with the spacing bar 114 normally pressed into engagement with the detaching pin 202 and spacing lever 115 having itsl other end loosely connected with the feed l bar 110 by being located in a suitable notch or slot therein, as illustrated in Fig. 11. The feed bar is thus longitudinally moved to cause the type wheel and carriage to be t carried forward one space when the spacing 5 magnet is actuated, the spacing bar 114 being disengaged from the spacing lever when l the detaching incline 203 engages the detaching pin 202 so as to swing the bar outward against the action of its spring.

In order to prevent the actuation of the .spacing magnet and connections just described when the type wheel and carriage are l at the end of the line a suitable safety device may be employed in the form of the feed safety bar indicated in Figs. 1, 7 and l 11. as being pivotally connected to the con- 1 trol lever 1. This bar 20 may be provided with suitable projectionsl or lugs loosely engaging the lower end of the spacing bar 114 so as to swing the same out of engagement with the spacing lever 115 when the control lever has been swung outward by the control bar 16 as the feed carriage and type wheel roach the end of the line. Under these circumstances, the safety feed bar 20 will also engage and close the spring contacts 142 so that if under these conditions the con troller arm 112 assumed the position indicated in Fig. 11 to actuatc the Ispacing magnet, the spacing bar actuated by this magnet I would be prevented from operating the feed bar and space feed and the closure of thel contacts 142 vwould thereupon energize the paper feed magnet to feed the paper up' one line and return the feed carriage and" tating the feed roll 135 is pivoted by the pin 195 to the connector 23 which ma be pivoted at its lower end to the feed lever 191 mounted on the pin 192 inthe frame and carrying a suitable cam follower 193 at its lower end to copcrate with the feed Cam so that for every revolution of the feed cam the feed arm will be oseillated and the feed roll advanced through the space of one printed line. The feed cam 40 as indicated in Figs. 8 and 9 is operated by a one-revolution stop clutch 4G of any desired construe tion whenever the paper feed clutch lever 42 is withdrawn from the pawl 41 of the clutch. The arm 13 of this lever 42 pivoted to the frame cooperates as indicated in Fig. 1 with the paper feed bar 34 having if desired a pivotal connection with the armature of the paper feed magnet4 35 so as to give it a momentary oscillation when the magnet is energized in the same general way as the spacing magnet described. The upper lateral extension of the hook bar 14 indicated in Fig. 1 as slidingly mounted on the frame member rests` as is indicated over the paper feed lever 191 so that when this lever is actuated the hook bar is raised and similarly raises the clutch lever hook 3 pivoted by the pin 4 to the extension of the return clutch lever 2. In this way when the paper is fed up a line the return clutch is operated by its lever and the type wheel and carriage return to the beginning of the line. In order g to prevent a. feed of the carriage in this dii rection when the feed carriage has already been returned to the beginning of the line as when the paper is being fed up a number of lines to exhibit the printed matter thereon, a suitable return guard may be provided in the form, for instance, of the projecting guard or finger 5 shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 secured to the lower depending end of the clutch lever hook 3 and in the path of the feed carriage. Thus when the feed carriage is at the beginning of the line the return guard is engaged thereby and the clutch lever hook swung about its pin 4 so that its upper end is swung out of the path of the hook bar 14 and kept in this inoperative position so long as the feed carriage is at the beginning of the line.

ln the position indicated in Fig. '1, the end of the actuating lever 48 lies as indicated beneath the feed hook 6 so that as described the oscillation of this actuating t lever when any letter 1s printed raises the feed hook and advances the feed carriage and type wheel one space along the line.

-the lastspace in the line the collar 19 on lVhen, however, the carriage has reached l the control bar is engaged by the stop 1S. thereby slightly moving the control bar ld and connected control lever 1, the pin S3 swinging in the slot 84 in the return clutch lever 2 without moving the lever. This movement of the controtl lever correspondingly moves the links 9 and 1l pivoted to 1 the feed hook (i and to the paper feed hook l 12 whose upper end is pivoted to the paper i feed clutch lever 4Q, 18. In this way these hooks are laterallyT displaced to a sufficient l extent so that the end of the actuating leve;` 4.8 when it rises engages the paper feed hook 12 instead of the feed hook G. Thus when a character is rinted at the end of the'line i instead of feet ing forward the type wheel and carriage another siace, the paper feed mechanism is actuated hy the actuating lever 48 through the connections described and, the return clutch mechanism is also operated through hook bar l-t, clutch lever hook 3 and return clutch lever Q so as to return the carriage to the beginning of the line. l

Any desired inlting mechanism may he employed to properly ink the character printed upon the web. If desired, this may ie accomplished by keeping the characters on the type wheel constantly inked by suitable inking devices mounted on the carriage and indicated in Fig. 3. The ink fountain 166 is shown as supported from the cariiage 138 and provided with a supply roll 120 journaled within the saine. rl`hc inlting t roll 122 may as indicated be loosely jonrnaled in the fountain by having its journals mounted in suitable slots therein so that it can properly engage the type wheel charl acters whenever for example the doctor roll l' engages the saine, this doctor roll heilig if desired mounted in suitable swinging arms 12st and pressed between the supply and inking rolls by the springs 12?.

Having described this invention in connection with an illustrative embodiment thereof, to the details of which disclosure the invention is not of course to be limited, what is claimed as new and what is desired to be secured by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
