HERBERT H. STEELE. OF MARCELLUS. NEW YGRK. ASSIGNOR TO THE MQNARCH TYPE- WBI'TER COMPANY, OF SYRACUSE. NEW YORK. A COBPORATLCN OF NEW YORK.

TZEE-WRITIN G MACHINE.

Be it known that I, Hnnnnu'r H. STEELE citizen of the United States and resident of Marcellus. in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in T ype- VVriting Machines, of which the following is a specification. e

My invention relates to paper supply and feeding mechanisms for typewriting machines as embodied in what is commonly known as a tally strip device.

Generally stated, the object of the invention is to provide improved devices of the kind referred to.

To the above and other ends, the invention consists in the features of construction, combinations of devices and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims. v

I have shown my invention applied to a Monarch typewriter but it is to be under stood that said invention may be adapted to other styles of writing machines.

In the accompanying drawin s illustrating the invention. Figure 1 is a ragmcntar" top plan viewof the carriage of a Monarc t-ypewriting machine having in invention applied thereto, part of the fixe upper rail :1 so being shown. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view 'of the carriage and its bearings.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front elevation showing the right-hand end portion of the Fi 4 is a front view showing the actuating device for the. tally strip feeding mechanism, part of the;upper fixed carriage rail which supports said device being also shown as well as a section of the cooperating part of the tally strip feed mechanism. Fig.

is a view corresponding to Fig. 4 but showing parts in different relations from those in which they appear in said Fig. 4.

Fig. 2- shows the top plate 1 of the. machine supporting fixed standards 2 to which screws 3 secure upper and lower guide rails 4 and 4 oppositely grooved to cooperate with anti-friction balls 6. said balls also coiiperating with the o positely grooved faces of a slide bar .7. T a slide bar is comprised in the platen carrier-or carriage which "also includes end'bars 8. Said end bars comprise bearings for n platen axle 9 which carries a. rotary platen 10. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, arms 11 pivotally supported on the I I Specification of Letters Patent Application tiled December 5, 1908. Serial No. 466,123.

scale 20 is also supported at the lower front 7 side of the platen. A release rock shaft 21 takes hearings in the end bars 8 and is provided with releasing devices 22 which c0 operate with other devices 23 on the arms 11 when an arm or finger piece 24, secured at.

the left-hand end of the rock shaft .21, is

operated in the usual way. \Vhen the rel ase arm 24 is pulled forward the devices 22 and 23 oiiperate to swing the arms 11 and feed roller 13 way from the platen and release the paper. The arms 11 carry rolls 2.3 at; their lower ends, said rolls being adapted to cooperate with the arms 15 to effect a release of the feed roller 18 at the same time that the main feed roller 13 is released. The left-hand end of the platen is operatively connected with a ratchet wheel 26 which. together with the platen, is nor;

mally maintained in set position by a spring dctent "27 which coiiperates with the teeth of the ratchet wheel. (oiiperatire \vith'the ratchet wheel for turning it and the platen 90 for line spacing are a line spacing pawl 28, and actuating devices therefor which comprise a line spacing handle 29 at thefront and left-hand side of the carriage. The usual work sheet is adapted to be fed up over the front side of the platen past the scale plate 20 and into the control of the usual paper fingers (not shown), said aper fingers being mounted on a paper nger rod 30 which is arranged above the platen and extends longitudinally thereof, being supported on the end bars 8. For a purpose presently to be explained, the mounting of the rod 30 is preferably somewhat different from the mounting usual in the Monarch machine. A lug 31 rising from the lefthand end bar 8 is formed with a slot which receives the flattened left-hand end portion fr m the right-hand end her 8. Said lug is perforated to receive a thumb screw 34,-

tbe threaded end of which engages with a threaded hole in the right-hand end of the rod 30. The thumb screw 34 serves to maintain the rod in a fixed relation with the marriage, but by turning the thumb screw to disengage it from the rod 30, the rod is freed so that it may be swung upward on the pin- 32.

On the rod 30 is mounted. a. taily strip support or bracket which comprises a barrel 35 which fits over the rod 30 and carries near its ends two uprights or standards 36. Near the right-hand end of the barrel 35 and integral therewith is a downwardly Wardly extending arm 37 which is slotted or forked at. i lower end at 38 to fit over and engage with the rock shaft 21, said arm 37 assisting to hold the tally strip support rigid on the carriage and preventing said support from rotating on the rod 30, the construction being such however as to enable the said support to be readily detached from the carriage. The

upper end portions of the standards 36 are enlarged and perforated to receive a rod 39, the left-hand end of said rod being reduced and threaded to engage with a threaded.

opening in the left-hand standard 36, while theright-hand end of'the rod 39 is provided with a knurled finger piece 40. The rod 39 provides a sup ort; for a wooden core 41 on which is woun a narrow work sheet or tally strip 42. When the tally strip is exhausted the rod may be unscrewed and removed by turning the finger piece so that a new tally strip roll may be substituted, after winch the rod 39 may be replaced, passing through the core piece of the new tally strip roll and being screwed in until the inner faces of the enlarged upper ends of the standards 36 frictionally engiige with the end faces of the core piece 41, t us providing a drag or friction brake i" or preventing undue winding of! of the tally strip. The tally strip is drawn ofi' at the rear side of the telly strip roll, passing downward behind the laten and thence around the under side t creof and upward between the platen and the scale plate 20. The path of the tally strip should t eclear of both the front and rear feed rollers so that said rollers may not feed the tally strip when the platen is turned. In the present instance, t to support for the tally strip is preferably arranged near the right-hand end of the platenso that the left-hand edge of and rearthe tally strip as it. passes around the platen is to the right of the ri lit-hand sections of ers. This will be uni erstood best from a consideration of Fig. 1. The result is of course that the paper'feeding devices comprising the two sets of feed rollers are not.

operative on the supplementary work sheet or tally strip, but cooperate only with the main work sheet or record. sheetwhich is said linger piece )roviding means- {or oper ating said frame y hand. Arms 1-; and 4 are bent upward at right angles to the plate like pait 43 at the ends thereof, said arms extending horizontalh} rearward and being perforated to lit over the rod 30. The arm 46 extends rearward from the rod providing; an actuating arm 46" which coiiperates with. devices presently to described, forautomet ically turning the line spacing frame on thelug 30 as a pivot. The ortions of the arms 45 and 4C surrounding t 1e pivot rod 30 an: confined between thcfaces of the barrei 35, and collars 45* which surround the rod 39 and are secured thereto by screws 45. Tire construction is such that by loosenin the collars the tallystrip bracket and feeding mechanism may be ln-vved aiong the rod 30 longitudinally of the platen to any desired position; and l removing the righthand collar 45" and disengaging the thumb screw 34 from the rod 30 the latter may be swung upward and the entire tally strip device removed from the machine.

The frame comprising the parts 43 and the arms iii and 46 is free to turn between the barrel 35 and the collars #3. A lug or illigcl in extends upward from the pivotal portion of the arm 40 and is adapted to cooperate w th liinilin"; stops or pins 4;? and 48 extending laterally from the rightshand standard 36 and serving to limit tl.e turning movements of the frame. A rectanguiar tie bar 49 connects the arnisf and 1 .1. being secured in fixed relation therewith by screws 50, the bar being arranged slightly tothe rear of the platelike art 13, the rear endof which part is bent npw rd at right angles to provide a. stop ul' abut.- ment 43 torn combined feeding and cutting me mber or blade 51. The blade 51 may be made of thin sheet metal, being provided at its ends with extensions or pivot. l

51. 'hen the blade 51 is held in a vertical lJOtlhlZl'lO main and suppicnu-ntary feed rolllit position these extensions 51' may pass through the straight narrow parts of keyhole slots a'Q formed in the side arms 45 and '46. After being passed downward through the keyhole slots the member 51 may be turned rearward to horizontal position as shown in the drawings, so that it is v pivot-ally Supported .hy the extensions 51" on bearmgsprovided by the enlarged 5.111- lions of the key-hole slots 52 and may not be displaced from said bearings except by again being swung upward 'to vertical position. The rear edge of the member 52- is serrated as indicated at 51 to enable it to bite, clamp or engage more securely the tally strip. When not engaged with the tally strip the member 51 may rest on thelip 43 and at this time the serrated edge 51" will abut against the front vertical face of the cross bar 49. said bar 49 and said member filcoiipcrating to provide a paper clamp for the paper which is passed between them. he tally strip is led upward from the scale plate 20 through guide ways formed in 5 a guide plate 53, said guide plate being suitably secured at the under side of the bar 49 and extending downward therefrom, its lower end being curved rearward and. terminating clone to the face of the platen 3 so as to prevent the tally stri from feedingrearward over the to) o the platen.

The guide-ways in the guide plate or member 53 are formed by integral tabs or cars 53' bent upward and inward toward each other so as toform grooves with the front face of the member 53. through the grooves in the uide member 53 the end portion of the tal y strip led upward between the bar 49 and the lip 43,

0 passing between the bar 49 and the serrated edge 51 and slightly lifting the blade 51 from the lip 43' as shown in 'Fig. '2. The forward portion of the frame which supports the blade 51 and which is pivoted on 45 the rod 30 tends to swing downward under the influence of gravity so that normally the finger 46 is engaged with the stop 47 as shown in Fig. 2. Itwill be obvious that by lifting the finger piece it the front por- 50 tion of the frame will be swung upward and the tally strip, which is clamped or gripped by the serrated edge 51 of the feed bar and the front face of the bar 49, will be drawn upward at the front side of the platen 55 and pulled or unwound to a corresponding extent from the tally strip roll. The movement of the frame and the corresponding feeding of the tally strip will continue until the finger 46" is arrested by the stop 48. The extent of movement is somewhatless than an ordinary line space movement so that if a line is printed on the telly strip between cach two feeding movements of the frame the distance between the lines of print I will be about as indicated ig; 3 of the 7 After passing drawings. In other words, the several items in the column of figures on the tnlly strip will be condensed, orarrangcd quite close, one after another. When the finger piece 44 is released the forward iportion of the frame w ll drop under the in ucnce of gravity until arrested by the engagement of the finger 46" with the stop 47. During this return movement of the frame it, will be apparent that the s nated edge 51 of the blade 51 will slide on 'uiward over the edge of the tally strip and will be arrested finally in the position shown in Fig. 2.

' While line space feeding movements. may be communicated to the tally strip h operating the finger piece 44 at the forward end of the frame in the manner just described,

it 1.; preferable to do the line spacin automatically. In the present inst/ meal have shown means for accomplishing this result, 5 said means coiiperating with the arm 46 at the rear end of the frame and comprising a movable bar or plate 54 as shown in Figs.

4 and 5. The plate or slidable member 54 is provided with parallel inclined slot-ways 55 which receive headed guiding and supporting screws 56, said screws passing through washers 57 (Figs. 1 and 2) arranged between the rear face of the plate 54; and the front face of the guide rail 4 to which said late is slidably secured by screws 56, said screws engagin in tap ed holes in said guide rail. lormally the p ate 54 is maintained in the relation with the.

guide rail shown in Fig. 5 by a wire spring 0 v 58 which is coiled around one of the washers 57 that presses down on top of the late 54. The front of the plate 54 is provi ed with a rojection 59 which is formed with a rig it-hand vertical face 60 and an under inclined face 61.

Letit be assumed that the printing of the bill or other matter on the main-work sheet has been completed by means of the usual or suitable printing mstrunnentalities (no shown), it being understood of course that the line spacing of this main work sheet is entirely independent of the supplementary work sheet or tally strip. The total on the bill having been printed, the operator may press the tabulatmg key (not shown) to release the carriage and move it leftward to bring the tally strip within the printing field, or may release the carriage and move it leftward by hand in the ordinary way. During the movement of the carriage left- J ward to carry the T'Zl out of the printing field and bring the telly strip in the printing field, the actuating arm 46 will enga e with the face 60 of the projection 59 and y reason of the coi peration between the inclined slots 55 and the screws 56 will force the plate 54 leftwardand upward against the pressure of the spring 58 until said plate reaches the position shown in Fig. 4. At this stage the w 4 I ebases fair; 6) willhave passed upward out of engagement with the arm 46 and will permit said arm to move leftward past the exten-- sion :39 allowing said extension to return to 'ioi-inal' position under the pressure of the spring After the item on the tally strip has been written the carriage is returned rightward by hand. During the initial stage of this return movement the arm i will engage with the inclined face 61 of the extension 59 and will be cammed or swung downward by said extension, the in lination of the slots preventing upward movement. of the plate 54 at this time and holding the plate motionless. The downward movement of the arm to" will swing, upward the for hill or other data thereon.

'ward port ion of the frame ot which said arm is a part and will cause the feed blade at to cot'iperate with the bar -29 to pull the i front portion of the tally strip upward and give it a line spacing movement. A fter the arm 46 passes the inclined edge 61 the iranie and blade 51 will return to normal position under the influence of gravity. The
