Specification of Letters Patent.

NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION OF NEW TYPE-WRITING MACHINE.

Patented Oct. 18, 1916.

Application filed January 16, 1908. Serial Ho. 411,115.

Be it known that I, OSCAR L.- Inert-1M, citi- I zen of the United States, and resident of m -aiding in readily eii'ecting erasures or cor- Walla W'alla, in the county of \Yalla Walla and State of Washington, have invented certain ne and useful Improvements in Tvpe- Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to typewriting ma chines and more particularly to means for manifold wo k. I v

The main ob ect of my invention is to rections especially in the production of i provide simple and cilicient means of the character specified.

A further obgect of my invention to provide devices which are in. the nature of Y attachments that may be readily substituted typewritin for those embodied in oxistin forms of machines without changing the structural Icatures of said. machines.

To the above and otherends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the features of construction, arrangements of parts and combinations of devices to be hereinafter set forth and particularly pointeclout in the appended claims.-

II: the drawings, Figure 1 is a fragmen tary enlarged detail end elevation showing the upper portion of a No. 6 Remington typewriting machine with the devices of my invention ap lied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail p an view of the paper table and its, support with parts broken away.

I have shown my invention embodied, in

the presentinstance, in the No. 6 Remington machine to which the devices of my invention aretreadily adapted butit should be understood that the invention may be em' ployed in various stylcs of typewrlting 'ma-' chines.

The top plate 1 of the machine has up'- wardly extending risers 2 which support a guide rod 3 with which anti-friction rollers the usual manner by a carriage truck 5, links 6 pivotally uniting a platen frame 7 to the truck. The

9 at the front portion-thereof which 006p- V platen frame carries a 'ro-' 'tative platen 8 and is provided with a-roller crates with a shift rail 10; Upwardly projecting lugs 11 are formed on the carriage truck, each of said lugs eing apertured for the reception of thesw-porting. stems of a-,

paper able. The parts thus tar described A special form of paper table may he readily substituted for that ordinarily employed in the X0. 6 Remington machine by removing the ordinary paper table from the hollow supporting lugs 11 and substituting the spccla form of paper table construction ofnw inventi n. This special paper tabl and liS .suppozting means comprises a supporting frame 12 havin downwardly ex tending spindles or pro ections 13 spaced apart according tot'the spacing of the lugs 11 and reduced at. their lower ends 14 for reception in the openings in the lugs 11. These spindles 13 extend downwardly from an H-shapcd metallic frame 15, the arms 16 of which extend fore and aft of the machine and are connected at 17 to cross bars 18 which likewise constitute part of th supporting frame. These cross bars are of a length which corresponds substantially to the length of the aper table and are pro-- vidcd with upu'ar ly. extending projections 19 and 20. The projections 20 constitute hearings for a pivot rod 21 which is received 7 in openings in said projections and passes through corresponding openin s'in dependinglugs 22 on the bottom 0? a plate-like paper table at one end thereof so as to constitute a hinge orxpivoton which the paper table may swing from the full line position shown in Fig. 3 to the position indicated i-n dotted line-sin said figure where it is out of parallelism with the axis of the platen. The upwardly extending projections 19 constitute rcpt-s upon which the free end of the )aper table is adapted to hear whent-he tal le is in the normal position and the projections '19 and ZOmaintaiu the table above the body of the support so as to provide a space JA bet-W-een the support Y 12 of the aper. table and the bottom of. the

paper tahe itself as clearly indicated in and corresponds substantially to the length of the platen so that it isadaptedto receive sh'zets of'any width that may be received in the machine. v

In the ordinary use ot the machine the paper table will perform the function of the ordinary paper table, the sheets, as they extend from the. platen, passmgabove the paper table. It, howe er, in the production of manifold work, the operator desires to make an erasure, it is merely necessary to swing the paper table on its pivot, so all of I. In the presentimtance l have shown the first-copyshcet a eaten-ling above the paper table, whereas the carbon cop sheet I; and interposed carbon sheet are shown heneath the paper table. An erasure having been made on the sheet a. the sheets a, b and c ma then be carried above the paper table;

and the sheets a and r lifted or drawn for- I ward to uncover the sheet (1 and the cor- '.respondingerasure may be made on the sheet b while it rests directly on the paper 3 w 7 table; This last operation does not of course ditl'er from that which may he performed when the ordinary paper table is in use. In

a likeananner any number'of heets may be corrected without an impression being made through the carbon sheet orshcets in the art of making the erasure.

While 1 have described one method, of

"carrying out my invention it should be understood that various changes may be made without departing from the invention, which contemplates broadly the provision of means which enable sheets in the ma-v chine to pass above and below the paper table in order that erasures ma 5' be made on one sheet while it rests upoi the paper table without causing any impression to be made through a carbon sheet or sheets on another 7 sheet. or on other sheets of paper while such erasure is being made.

From certain aspects of my present in- Vention the part 23 may be considered as a combined paper table and erasing-shelf,

' plate or bed o -icrating as it does as an ordinary mper table to rapport the paper as it is't'et to the platen and also as an erasing, plate. From other aspects of the invention the. part :23 maybe regarded merely as an erasing plate since it possesses novelty as such whetlurr or not, it s used-as a paper table.

What I claim as new and desire to 580111 by Letters l'atent, is Y 1. in a typewritiug machine-the combination oil a platen. a paper table, the forward edge of which is at the rear of the platen and means which permit portions of sheets in the machine to be transferred from above the paper table to a position below the paper table. I
