TYPE-WRITING MAcHrn'n.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 4, 1910.

Application filed May 31, 1910. Serial No. 564,227.

To all whom it may, concern:

Be it known that I, Cmo B. Yaw, citizen of the United States, and resident of Arlington, in. the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey; have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-\Vriting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to typewriting machines and more particularly to tabu ating mechanism.

In tabulating mechanism heretofore em-' ployed it has been customary to, use column stops adjustable along a column stop bar to different positions corresponding to each index on the carriage scaleor for each letter space position of the carriage in its line of travel. In the use of such column stops considerable time was required to set or adjust them when a change from one character of work to another was made and the work involved in determining where to set the stops was somewhat troublesome.

()ne of the main objects of the present invention is to overcome these difficulties and to provide com 'iaratively simple and efiicient mechanism for quickly determining the position of arrest of the carriage by the tabulator mechanism and for readily setting the tabulator mechanism accordingly.

To the above and other ends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the features of construction, arrangements of parts and combinations of devices to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompany ng drawings, wherein. like reference characters indicate correspomling parts in the various views, Figure 'l is a fragmentary side elevation with parts in section of one form of typewrit-ingmachine eml'iodying my invention, only a sutiicient number of parts of the machine being shown as is necessary to an understanding of the invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail fragmentary plan view. of the column stops, the resetting mechanism therefor, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail perspective View of the resetting cam or wiper. Fig. 4 is a detail vertical sectional View of the resetting mechanism, the section being taken on the line w n,- of Fig. 2 and looking :in the direction The parts in this view are shown in normal position. Fig. 5

'typewriting machine which contains a denominatlonal tabulator.

It should be understood, however, that the character of the machine and of the tabulating mechanism employed is immaterial so, far as my present invention is concerned.

My invention has the same general objects in view, and may be considered in the nature of an' improvement upon the constructions disclosed in the applications of Victor Al bert Emanuel Sivertsei'i and J ans Christian Nielsen, filed April 8th, 1909 Serial No. 488,675 and George F. Ballou, Serial No. 541,995, filed February 10th, 1910, the present invention being directed more particularly to the mechanismt'or resetting the column stops.

The frame of the machine comprises a base 1, corner posts 2 and a top plate 3. A carriage l provided with grooved rails 5 which receive anti-friction balls or rollers ('3, the latter being likewise i .eived in fixed grooved guide rails 7, .to support the carriage in. its movement over the top plate from side to side of the machine. The carriage carries the usual cylindrical platen 8 against the front face of which np 'ardly and rearwardly moving type bars 9 are adapted. to strike. The front bar of the carriage is provided with the usual carriage scale with which a pointer 10 cooperates, the pointer being secured by a screw 11 to the forward fixed carriage rail. Projecting rearwardly from the carriage are arms 12 which are fixed to the carriage by screws 13 and have secured thereto at their rear ends a colmnnsto ji bar 14; screws 15 connecting the column stop bar to said arms. The column stop bar is provided with teeth 16 on the upper and lower sides thereof. forming interdental spaces 16 between the tceth.-

Bifurcatect plate-like column stops 17 straddle the column stop bar and are received and adapted to slide fore and. aft of the machine in the interdent-al spaces 16 between the teeth on the stop bar. The rear portion which connects the arms of each stop 17 constitutes the iontact mn'tionwith which the cooperative tabulator stop or stops are adapted to engage. Each column stop 17 is provided with an upwardly extending projection 18 formed with-a vertical face with which a flat sheet metal bar 19 is adapted to cooperate to limit the rearward sliding movement of the column sto s on the column stop bar. The bar 19 may he detachably fixed at its ends to the column stop bar so that a removal of the bar 19 affords adetachment of the column stops from the column'stop bar when desired. The engagement of each bifurcated column stop with the walls of the interdental spaces 16- is such as to afford sufficient friction to maintain each of the stops in the position to which it may be moved on the column stop bar. In other. words, when a rearward movement of one of the column stops in its interdental spaces to operative position is effected it will be held in such position byfrictional engagement with the column stop bar and when a stop is moved forward to inoperative position, itwill likewise be held in such position by the frictional engagement with the column stop bar. So far as my present invention is concerned, it is immaterial how the column stops are constructed and how they are mounted for.

movement into and out of operative position. The construction shown in the present instance is somewhat similar to that disclosed in the application of George H. Smith,

Serial No. 533,717, filed December 17 1909,.

except that in the present instance the bar 19 is maintained fixed against movement on the column stop bar.

The column stops 17, when they are projected rearwardly to operative osition are adapted to cooperate with tabu ator or denominational sto s 20 when the latter are projected forwar l to operative position by their key control ed mechanism. In the present instance I have shown a fo'rm of denominationalLtabulator such as that employed .in the No. 11 Remington machine, though it should be understood that for the purpose'of my present invention any desired form of tabulator mechanism may be emlevers 21, 23. The

ployed to cooperate with the column sto s.

enominational sto s 20 constitute parts of upwardly exten ing denominational stop pivoted at 22 to a tabulator frame mine 23 is secured by screws 24 and 25 to the frame of the machine so that the tabulator frame is rigidly .connected with the main frame of the machine and, so

far as the present invention is concerned, -may be considered as apart ofsaid main frame.

The lower ends of the denominational stop levers 'are connected to push links 26 which in turn are connected todepending arms of angular actuating leigers 27 pivoted on a rod 28 secured to the base of the machine. The forwardly extending arms of these angular levers are operativcly connected to key stems 29 ided in openings in guide plates 30 anf 31. Restoring springs 32 are each connected at one end to the guide plate 31 and at the opposite end to the depending arm of one of the angular levers 27. A depression of one of the denominational tubulator keys 29 is effective to project the associated denominational stop 20 forwardly into the path of those of the column stops 17 which have been moved to operative position. The carriage is at the same time released b the usual mechanism (not shown), such, or instance, as that employed in the No.- 11 Remington machine.

In order to select or project any desired column stop to operative position I have provided selecting means which is cooperative with the column stops individually to move any desired one of them at a time to operative position, the particular stop which may be projected to operative position de ending. on the position of the carriage in its line of travel. Thus I have provided an actuating arm, finger or selecting device 33 formed as an upwardly extending crank arm which projects from a hub secured to a-rock shaft 34 mounted to turn in bearings in a bracket 35 detachably secured to the top plate of the machine. of Fig. 2 it will be seen that the arm 33 is positioned sb-as to bring the free end ortion thereof just to the right of the eft- From. an inspection :hand or decimal stop of the series of denominational stops. This arm is situated forwardly of the column stop bar 14, and forwardly of the column stops carried thereby, and at each letter space movement of the carriage, under control of the usual escapement mechanism (not shown), a column stop is brought into register with the contact portion of the setting or actuating arm 33; it being understood that there are preferably as many column sto s as there are letter space movements of t e carriageduring a com lete run or. travel thereof. The width of the contact portion of the arm 33- is such as to enable the arm to co-act with each individualcolumn sto without contacting with an adjacent colhmn stop.- As

the arm 33 moves rearwardly one of the column stops is moved from its foremost position rearwardl to operative position, as indicated by tile rearwardly projected stops inFig. 2. "The column stops thus projected to operative position are.retained against accidental displacement from the operative position by the frictional engagemcnt between the column stops and the column stop bar on which theyare supported.'

The device may be manually actuated in any suitable manner. In the present 'instance the rock shaft 34 has a hub secured thereto and from this hub extends a roarwardly projecting crank arm 36 to which is connected it downwardly extending link 37 inclined faces 44.- on the ri vated position shown in. 11

BEST AVAIIABLB COPY amass and provided with a rcstori .91 ng 41.. This key lever preferably extends to the keyboard of the machine where it provided. with aselecting key 12 by which the rock shaft and the act-usting device may be moved, to project the selected cohim stop to operative position.

In order to quickly restore all ofthe column stops to inoperz'itive pisition, or to move them. forwardly on. the column stop bar, I have provided a resetting device, wi er or cam designated a whole by the re .erence numeral and which is shown in detail in Fig. This cam provided with and left-hand sides thereof. The mcmbe. is in. the nature of a slide and mounted in a bearing formed in a casting 45 ...-Hlffi(l. to the tabulator frame 23 which, as hereinbefore pointed out, may, for the pin-pose of the present invention he re arded as a part of the frame of the machine device 4 .3 is adapted to slid a horizontal plane and in 1 direction as the ,ium'n ...c same general ,s in their move- I, A u 1 menls to and from operative position and to co-act with the projected. column stt when the resetting device 155 in .1 o ierative p i tion indicaledfby dot"ec. iincs in A depending pin 4? is fttttiVQIl at uppc threaded end in a tapped openii j in th slide-or-device 43. T pin is connected to one end of a. cont .ile spring 48, the opposite end of which is connected to a pin 49 projecting from the bottom f 1 45. From an ll'lSPQ-CL'lOl'l of seen that the member I) it will he cutout por- 13- has a tion 50, the forward end wall of which is formed as an inclined face or cam 51. A.

rod or slide or actuating device is m L ed to move vertically or in a. direc ion at substantially right angles to the plane movement of the slu 13. The mend 1. is supported. and {J ndcd in its sliding movement within a bearing formed in the casting The upper end of tl'c slide is provided ith 2:. ii do- '1 connected to the tion A coiled expansion rounds the member 52 and recess fOIl'liQd in the ca end of this s ni'ing bears ihe hub of the finger piece or key153. iercas the lower end of the spring bears against the bottom sur- cd in a .he upper Wall of the recess 56.; thus tending normally to maintain theincm er in the it. The upward movement of the member 5 is limited by a. cam head 57 formed on the lower-end of said member and of lar r diameter than the bearing opening in which the member 52 the castinghy screws-i6 is received. The cam llGfiC 57 is received in the cut-out or recessed portion 50 of the.

member -13 and an inclined face 58 on the cam head matchesand is adapted to cooperate with the inclined face 51 on the member 43. The parts are normally in the position shown inFig. 1. A depression. of the finger piece 53 against the pressure of the spring 55 is elfective to cam the member 43 forwardly, as represented in Fig. 5 and represented in dotted line in Fig. 2, by the the edge 60 cooperates-to resist and positively .prevent any rearward movement of the cam or member 43 until the finger piece 53 is released. By the releasing pressure on the finger piece 53 the slide will he carried upwardly, thus carrying the dwell out of engagement with the edge 60 and bringing the inclined face 58 into cooperation with the inclined face 51.. As the upward movement of the member 52 continues, the pressure of the spring 48 is effective to move the member 43 rearwardly to the inoperative position shown in Fig. at, where it is no longer in the path of the projected column stop.

It will be understood that a depression of the finger piece 53 projects the cam 43 to the dotted line position in Fig. 2 and that at this time a movement of the carriage is effective to bring the different projected column stops siucccssively into contact with the cam 1-3 and. that the cam will force the projected column stops forwardly to inoperative position. If the movement of the carriage be from right to left then the right-hand face of the cam. will co-act with the projected column stops, whereas if the movement of the carriage be from left to righhxthe lefthand face of the cam 43 will be effective to more the projected column stops forwardly to inoperative position. It will also be understood that any tendency to displace the cam from its projected position by the cooperation therewith of the projected column stops, during the resetting movement of said stops is resisted by the engagement of the edge 60 with the dwell 59 on the member ft 0 o so as to prevent the cam 43 from being displaced from its operative position till such time pressure is released on the key 53. Moreover, it will be observed that by moving the cam 43 to and from operative posi tion in the general direction of the move-- ment of the column stops to and from opsuch stops will be moved farther forwardly opening.

if they have not been completely reset by the forward movement of the cam.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that in order to clear all of the projected column stops, it is merely necessary to depress the key 53 and efi'ect a complete travel of the carriage from one side of'the-machine to the other in either direction, which will result in a movement of all of the operative column stops forwardly to inoperative position.

In assembling the different members of the resetting mechanism it may be assumed that the in 47 is disconnected from the slide 43 and that the finger piece 53 is dis-' The cam connected from the member '52. 43 isthen moved into a position corresponding substantially to that shown in Fig. 5 where the recess or opening 50 in the slide 43 is in a position to register with the cam head 57. The stem of the slide 52 is then moved upwardly through an opening (31 in the casting 45 and through the opening in the slide 43,.the upper end portion of the member 52 being received in its bearing The springis then placed in position and the finger piece 53 screwed in place on the upper end of the member 52,

thus preventing a disconnection of the members 52 and 43 from the casting in which they are received and adapted to slide. The

pin 47 may then be screwed into position in a tapped opening in theslide 43, and the spring 48 connected at one end to the pin 47 and at the opposite end to the pin 49. By disconnecting the finger piece 53 and the pin 47 the slides 52 and 43 may be withdrawn by first removing the member 52 downwardly through the openings 50 and 61.

i In the use of the device it may be assumed, for instance, that a letter or invoice is to be written in which the vertical rows of names or items and amounts are to appear; which items and amounts in different lines are to be placed exactly under each other, and the carria, e is moved to the positionwhere the first letter of the first name or item is to be received. This will be assumed to be. at 20 which is indicated by the pointer 10 on the carriage scale. The selecting key 29" is then depressed and this effects a rearward movement of the finger, arm, projecting or selecting device 33 and effects a rearward Said column stop operation, the projected column stop will a ways cooperate with the decimal stop at the same point, '20, in the travel of the carriage, where the carriage was arrested to select the column stop, and in the desired po'sition where the first name or item to be written is to. be started. If the operator desires to set the next column stop to write, for in? stance, an amount in the same' lin'e, so that the decimal pointwill be at say 50 on the carriage scale, it is only necessary to press down the selecting key 42 when the carriage is moved to a position where the decimal point may be written in a position which corresponds to 50 on the carriage scale. This projects the column stop at F 50 to arrest t e carriage at such position when the decimal key isdepressed. If in the neiit and moving the cam 43 to operative position in the manner hereinbefore described, and moving the carriage inthe direction of its travel v'v'hile the cam is maintained in operative po-" sition. New column stops may then be individually and successively selected and set in the manner hereinbefore pointed outl In accordance with the present invention I prefer to employ a stop for each index on the carriage scale, or for each letter space po-- I sition of the carriage, or at any rate for each 1 index on the carriage scale, where ordinarily such stops might be employed and to provide means whereby each of said stops can be thrown into and out of operative'position, l although, as hereinbefore indicated, the

means for effecting this result may be varied at will, my invention being directed-more particularly to the resetting means for resetting the projected stops.

Various changes may be made ".hout departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
