Patented Apr. 19, 1919. Serial No. 402,996.

To all whom l'L15 may concern: I

Be it known that I, JACOB FELBEL, citizen of the United States, and'resident of the borough of Manhattan, city of .New York, in the county of New York and State 'of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Writing Machin-es, of which the following .isla specification. Y

My invention relates especial-ly to tally strip devices for typewriting machines and its main object is to provide'improved devices of the kind specified.4

To the above and other ends which .will hereinafter appear, my invention'- consists in various features of construction, combinations of devices and arrangements of parts presently tobe described and particularly pointed out in' the; claims.

In 1the `accompanying drawings', Figure 1 is a top plan view of .a part of the paper.

carriage of a Monarch typewriting machine embodying' my improvements. Fig. 2 is a side sectional elevation thereof, the section beingtaken at the dotted line of Fig. l and the 'fixed carriage rails being added. Fig. 3 is a central Vertical section of one of the tally feed rolls and its support. Fig. 4 is aperspectiv'e view of the support or bracket for the tally strip roll. Fig. 5 is a side sectional View similar'to'Fig. 2 showing some of the parts in different relations from those in which they appear'in Fig. 2, other parts shown in' Fig. 2 being omitted. Fig. 6 is avview corresponding to Fig. 5 but omit- .tingsome of the parts shown therein and showing other of the parts in different relations from those in which they appear in Fig. 5. i

1 designates the paper carriage as an entirety,'the back bar of said carriage being` formed .with oppositely grooved portions for the reception of bal-ls or rollers' which also bear on oppositely grooved rails iiXed to the l frame-workpf the machine in the usual mannerjto support the paper carriage and guideit in its movements back and forth across themac'hine. v

2 designates'the left-hand end bar of the carriage and 3 the right-hand end bar thereof, both of said' 'bars being attached to the carriage back bar and being further connected together by a cross rod 4 which in practice supports paper fingers not sho-wn herein.

rlhe paper feed mechanism as far as shown is substantially that of the Monarch ma chine. 5 is the main feed .roller preferably made' in sections having a. common yaxis snpported in arms or brackets 6 pivotally mounted at 7 in lugs extending forward from the carriage backbar. Springs 8 acting on said arm press the feed. roller normally against the platen 9. The arms 6 are provided with extensions having rollers 10 which operate against other feed roll-'supporting arms 11 pivotally mounted at12`in lugs likewise extending forwardfrom' the back bar and provided with springs 1,3' that cause the' sectional feed roller 14 to bear "against the platen nearer the front face 2 and 3, said .rock shaft having pins or studs 17 that co-act with pinsy or'studs 1S projecting perpendicularly from the Ifeed roll snp.

porting arms 6. rlFhe construction is such that when the lever l5 is pulled forwardas shown in Fig. 5 the pins 17 coperate with .the studs 18 and move the arms 6 and the feed rollers 5 rearward'against the tension of the spring 8 and at the same time the rollers 10 operate upon the arms 11 and cause the feed rolls 14 to be moved away from the platen against the tension of the springs 13. For the purpose-of limiting the forward movement of the lever v15 said le` Ver is provided with a nose19l that strikes against a stop pin 2O on the end bar 2.

- I have also shown generally the usual line spacing mechanism of the Monarch machine.

This may be briefiy described as follows;v lOn lthe left=hand end of. the platen i'sa ratchet wheel 21 with which cooperates a springpressed detent roller 22l and .platen rotating devices comprising a pawl 23 which Kis normally disengaged from the ratchet wheelbut which, upon operation of the line spacing handle 24 toward the right inFig.

1A engages a tooth of the ratchet wheel and turnsthe platen in the proper direction forl feeding the paper forward, the extentof the feed being predetermined by means of .the

'usual line space regulator, designated byf25.

The detail construction of. the line spacing fully shown and described in-Letters Patent No. 791,483, granted to H. W. Merritt on June 6, 1905; but as far as the present invention is concerned any suitable form or construction of line spacing mechanism may be used instead of that shown.

Referring now to the tally strip devices, it is one of the objects of my invention to lock oil1 or in abnormal position the main feed rollers or paper feeding devices for the'main work sheet or bill sheet when it is desired to insert a fresh work sheet and to utilize this locking off of the feed roller as a means to insure the feeding of the tally strip.

It is another object of my invention to feed the tally strip (after the insertion of a fresh bill sheet or other work sheetl to be written upon) during the return of the main feed roll to norma-l position, the tally strip feeding mechanism governing or controlling the return of the main feed roll `to normal position.

In my pending application Serial No. 387 ,957 filed August 10th, 1907 I have shown one means of accomplishing these results. In the present instance the' locking oif of the main feed rollv stores power by the setting' of a spring device or-spring driving mechanism, which device or mechanism when tripped liy a key, automatically line-spaces the tally strip. Setting the spring device or driving mechanism also operates to lock the `feed roll in released or inoperative position and said feed roll returns to engage with the platen or the work sheet thereon when the spring driving mechanism is tripped or released. As in said pending application, I have shown a tally strip wound upon a roll holder arranged above and at the rear of the carriage, the loose or free end of the strip being carried partially around the platen, thence between suitable feeding devices or feed rolls from which the tally strip is fed rearward and upward along or upon a table or support and preferably until the leading edge of the strip contacts with" an 'abutment which determines the length of the section of the strip to be detached.

Any suitable means may be employed for supporting the tally strip roll and the tally strip" feeding devices. In the present instance I have shown a bracket arm or frame secured to the paper 'finger rod 4. The said bracket, so called for convenience and best shown in Fig. 4, is formed with a tubular bearing 26 which is slipped on the rod 4 and then secured to said rod by any suitable means. The tubular bearing is herein shown as provided with a slot 27 (Figf3) opposite a similar slot on the under side of the-,rod 4,

thus forming akey-way for a key or feather 28, half of which enters the slot in the bearing and half the slot in the rod, thus holding the bracket against rotary movement but permitting it to be adjusted lengthwise of the rod. AThe bracket may, however, be further secured by means of a set screw 29.

The bracket or frame comprises a rearwardly and upwardly extendingarmV 30 formed at its free end with a threaded hole to receive the threaded end of a center pin or rod 31 for a tally strip roll holder 32; and said bracket also comprises a frontbifurcated portion consistlng of ltwo parallel plates or jaws 33 and 34 connected bya cross piece or web 35 to which is attached a table or support 36 for the foremost section `or subdivlsion 'of the tally strip. The table is provided at its upper or free end with a cross piece 37 for the leading edge of the vtally strip 38 to' abut against. At the lower end of the table a plate, knife or bar 39 is preferably provided to assist in the separation of the tally strip sections.

The feeding devices for the tally stri are preferably made in the form of rolls esignated as 40 and 41, the roll 40 having a' pintle or pintles that take bearings in holes 42 in the plates 33 and 34 and the roll 41 having a shaft or pintle 43 that takes bearings in holes 44 in said plates 33 and 34. The feed rolls 40 and 41 may be of any desired detail construction, likewise their mountings, and one or both of them may be covered with rubber the same as the surface of the platen, as indicated in Fig. 3. In this view the roller 41 is shown attached to a shaft by means of a pin 45 and said shaft is shown prolonged tov the right for supporting a ratchet wheel 46, the hub 47 whereof is secured to the shaft 43 by a pin 48. Abut` vting the hub 47 is a knurled finger button 49 which is secured to the shaft 43 by a pin 50. This finger button may be made use of to turn the roller 41 and the roller 40 and thereby feed the tally strip. Preferably, however, the tally strip is fed -by devices which are connected with the means for re. leasing the feed rolls 5 and 14 and locking them in inoperative position after they have been released or moved away from the platen or the paper thereon. Referring now to the means for releasing and locking out the feed rolls 5 and 14, 5l designates an arm mounted securely on the rock shaft 16. This arm may .be made in tegral with a collar 52 fitted to said rock shaft and attached thereto by a screw 53. The upper end of the arm 51 is bifurcated to receive a locking dog, pawl or hooked catch 54 provided with a spring 55, which dog is loosely pivoted on a pin 56. The latter passes through openings in the bifurcated portions of the arm 51 and is secured at its left end as by a screw 57 to the lower end of a link or arm 58 extending upward and forward and pivoted at its upper end on a screw 59 which is secured toa member or pawl carrier 60. Said pawl carrier (it surrounds i 3 fr.

and bears loosely on the hub 47 of the ratchet wheel 46 and at 4its outer or free end said pawl carrier carries a shouldered screw 61 on which is pivoted a pawl 62, which pawl is constantly pressed into engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 46 by a spring 63.

The pawl carrier 60 is constantly urged rearward and 1s normally malntained in the posi-v tion shown in Fig. 2 by a driving device which, as herein shown, comprises a leaf spring 64 secured at its lower end to a headed stud or pin eXte-nding laterally rightward from the plate 33.

When the handle 15 is pulled forward by the operator to rock the shaft 16 for the purpose of' throwing off the feed roller 5, the dog or pawl 54 .willbe moved downward and forwardv from the normal position shown iniFig. 2 andv the hooked end thereof will ride over 'a nger o-r projection 66 extending-inward fromv the end bar 3 parallel with the platen. Under the influence vof the spring 55 the dog 54 will snap over and engage the'finger 66 as shown in F ig. 5 so that-when the handle 1/5 is released the feed roll will not return to normal position but will be held locked in` inoperative position by the engagement of the dog 54 with the finger 66 as shownin said Fig. 5. As the handle 15 ispulled forward to release the main paper feeding device, the

,pawl carrier 60, by reason of its connectionswith the rock shaft 16 (which connections comprise the arm 51, the pin 56 and the link 58) will be turned or rotated forward on its bearings from the position shown in Fig.'

2 to thatA shown in Fig. 5. `The forward turning of the pawl carrier flexes or puts Vtension in the driving deviceor spring 64 and causes the pawl 62 to slideforward over the ratchet wheel 46 and snap into engagement with the next toothbehind the one with which said pawl had previously engaged. In other words the release and locking off the feed roller 5 automatically sets the driving mechanism of the tally strip. Where in the following' claims `it is stated' that tension is put into the driving spring it is meant thatV power or ability to do Work is given to it.

The release of the feed roller from its locked or inoperative posit-ion may be eiectcd by 'any suitablenieans. In the present instance I have shown said means as com` prising a trip lever 67 which is arranged at. the inner side of the end b ar 3 and is pivoted on a. screw 68 secured to said end bar. 'The rear arm of the trip lever is pro: vided with a nose 69, the odgewhereof is adapted to coperate with a pin 70iextending`l laterally inward from the pawl'54 above the hooked end thereof, The forward arm of the trip lever 67 terminates ina ey or finger 71 which overlies the end barv S 'and serves as a convenient means for operating said trip lever. Whenvthe parts are in the position shown in Fig. 5' the depression' of the key 71 causes theupper edge of the nose 69 to engage with lthe pin 70. This upper edge or face of the nose 69 is so shaped that continued pressure on the key 71 cams or .forces the pin 7-0 forward and causes the hooked end of the dog 54 to disengage from the finger 66 as shown in Fig. 6. The feed roll and associate parts will thereuponv be restored to normal position by the restoring springs provided for the purpose andthe driving deviceor spring 64 Willbe tripped or released and will forcethe pawl carrier 60 and pawl 62 rearward, said pawl 62 turning the ratchet 46 and thereby effecting an advance or line spacing ofthe tally strip through the tally strip feed-,rollers 40 and 41. The tally stripv is'preferably advanced through a spacefcorresponding to the length' of a single tooth of tlie ratchet wheel 46 and the movement of the rjatchet wheel for this purpose under the iuenoe of the spring driving pawl 62 maybe regulated and oontrolled in any suitable way'asby a stop or pin 72. In the drawings-I have shown a spring detent 72afor preventing any backward rotation of the4 ratchet wheel. A A guide or separator, for the work .sheet is provided, said'separatorconsisting. of a A, plate or finger '73 pivotally mounted at 74 to lthe, arm 3Q and having a leaf spring 7 5 to give tensionupward'to the free forward end of said separator.V This device serves more particularly to prevent the work sheet or bill from following vthe tally strip in betweenthe tally strip feed rolls; or in other words, said device serves to separate the'lbill sheet from the tally strip soon after these two work sheets which are superposed one4 onv the other arrive abo-ve the top of the platen, the bill sheet being deiected rearward under the separator 7 3 even though when they reach the separator the'leading end of saidbill sheet should be clinging tothe tally strip which is above it.

Referring briefly 'to the operations of the mechanisms'in the writing of vbills or in- -voices andthe recording of th`e totals thereof on the tally strip, it will, of course, be understood that the mode of operation will vary with ,the kind of work on which the mechanisms are employed'. The tally strip roll having been mounted in place, 'the feed rolls 5 and 14 are preferably locked off as vshown in Fig. 5 and the free outer end of Aleading end portion of the tally strip be tween the printing' point designated by 4A lao vided in sections as shown and described in my said pending ap lication. h

After the tally strip has been-properlypd sitioned the main work sheet or bill sheet,

designated by 7 6, may be inserted by passing it down in front of the usual paper table 77 and around the platen in the usual mane ner but with the right hand side or margin of the invoice underlying the tally ,strip'or between the latter and thev platen. The tally strip, as is usual, is carbonized or provided with a transfer medium `on one side; namely, that side which comes in contact with the bill sheet; but a' separate transfer or carbon strip may be employed if preferred'.'` The bill sheet and the tally strip having been properly positioned the main feed rollers are unlocked or released by cperating the key or nger piece 71, whereupon the feed rollers 5 will engage with the paper or -work sheet on the platen; likewise the front feed roll 14, but this roll 14 may be neglected so far as the main features of my invention are concerned. The depression of the lrey 71 also brings about a line spacing of the tally strip through the spring driving mechanism, as has been heretofore described. The writing may then be proceeded with by operating therusual or suitable printing instrumentalities (not shown) but it is not deemed necessary to describe the printing or writing operations in detail at this place. .g-,When the bill sheet or in,- voice is madeoiit the sum total of the bill is written upon the tally strip in the usual manner. During lthe Writing of the bill or invoice it may be line spaced one or more times, the number of times, of course, depending on the number of lines or items there may be in the bill or invoice. The line spacing of the bill, however, will not effect the tally strip in any Way. On the completion of the bill it may be withdrawn from the machine, the withdrawal being facilitated if desired by pulling forward the hand lever 15 and thereby releasing the paper controlling means or feed rolls 5 and 14. rIhe pulling forward of the hand lever causes the dog or pawl 54 to cooperate with the yfinger 66 to lock the feed rolls in released position. The completed bill having been' withdrawna new bill may be introduced into the machine and properly positioned for receiving the lirst line of writing. This having been done it is desirable to release the'paper controlling means or feed rolls in order that the bill may be properly controlled and fed around the platen. It is also necessary of course to line feed the tally strip. It is provided herein that the release of the feed rolls from locked position and the line feeding of the tally strip by tripping or releasing the driving mechanism will take place at one operation. In other words, a single depression or oper.- ation of the trip key serves to unlock the feed rollerl and also to line Space the tally strip and the construction is such that after the feed rolls have been released and locked they cannot lagain be rendered operativ( without line spacing the, tally strip except,- ing under the special manipulation hereinafter referred to. As a result of this construction, lwhen. the items of the newN bill have all been written and the carriage is moved leftward far enough to enable the sum total to be printed on the tally strip and reproduced on said bill, this sum total will be printed on the tally strip immediately beneath the sum total of the preceding bill and this -no matter how many items or lines of Writing there may have been in the kbill just written. The second bill may be withdrawn and the third and subsequent bills or invoices Written in the manner above explained. It will be apparent that the sum totals will be written in condensed order on the tally strip following closely one after another.

When the tally `strip has been line spaced sufficiently to bring the leading edge of the first section thereof into contact with the stop or abutment 37 a subsequent line spacing movement communicated to theA tally strip will cause it to bulge or curve upward from the table or bed 36, thereby indicating to the operator that the first section should be severed, .which severing may be done -by the blade 39. After having been severed from 'the body ofthe tally strip the sections may be arranged in a rece tacle or boX as explained in my said pen ing application.

4The tally strip mechanism'is capable of `adjustment longitudinally of the platen so that it may-be utilized at dierent portions of the width .of the mainwork sheet. This adjustment may be effected by loosening the screw 29 and sliding the tally strip bracket as a whole in or out upon its supporting rod 4 and then retightenmgthe screw. The finger 66 and the pin 56 are elongated to provide for this adjustment which preferably is a limited one in order that the tally strip may not be brought into the field of operation of either of the feed rollers 5 and 14, it being essential that the tally strip shall not pass between the platen and these' feed rollers. It will be understood that in thisadjustment of the tally strip devices the pin 56 may lbe slid back and forth .through thecoinciding openings in the pawl 54 and the bifurcated portions of the arm 51 and that the arm 51 and pawl 54 will not be aiectcd by this adjustment in any Way. I have mentioned above that the construction is such that the tally strip will always lline space when the feed roll is locked olf and then released, excepting when removingthedriving pawl 62 from 'opera-' the mechanism is especially manipulated in a manner to be described. There may be times in the operation of a machine4 when lthe operator may desire to lock off the feed tive engagement 'with the ratchet wheel 46 so that onthe return of the feed roll 5 to normal position and of the `parts connected therewith to their normal positions, the driving pawl 62 will fail to rotate the ratchet wheel; or in other words, will at this time be ineffective to engage operatively one of the teeth of said wheel. This may be accomplished by first pressing down upon the outer 'end of the pawl 62 so as to lift its operative end entirely above the ratchet wheel and'while holding the pawl in this elevated position, striking the'release or tripping key 7l. vWhen the point of the pawl has passed over. the top of the tooth with which it would otherwise engage, the pawl may be released'so as to allow it to reengage with the wheel at a tooth beyond.

For the purpose of facilitating a removal` of the pawl under these circumstances, I have provided the outer end thereof with a handle or finger piece 62a and this is preferably so shaped or formed that it may first. be pulled forward slightly so as to turn the pawl carrier slightly in a forward dii'ection against the tension of its spring 64 and thereby relieve the pawl of its pressure against the vertical wall of the ratchet tooth and thus enable the pawl to be readily vibrat-ed about its pivot by a downward pressure upon the finger piece.

Wvhile I have described my invention in connection with the writing of ordinary bills or invoices it will be understood, of course, that t-he invention may be otherwise employed and that it is susceptible of use in doing other kinds of billing and other' work.

' Further it will be understood that while I prefer a single row of detachable tally strip sections, nevertheless, as far as some of the :features of my invention areconcerned, the tally strip or work sheet as it may also be designated need not be sectional and may be unrolled and wound upon another" roll after being printed upon as has been customary heretofore; that the tally strip may be fed througlithe machine and delivered from the machine in some other manner than that tion of tally strip shown without departing from some of the features-of my invention; and that various other changes may be made without departing from the scope of my invention.

The automatically operating -power driven tally strip feeding mechanism although shown herein as connectedwith the feed roll casting off mechanism, may in some cases be connected with other operative parts .of the typewriter.

Various features shown and described herein are not claimed as they form the subject-matter of my said pending application 387,957..
