I have shown my invention embodied inthe; resent-instance in a No.11 Remington mac me, although it should machine comprises a here-- rounds the column sto bar, and a. contact appear. The upper portion of'each stop is provided with a bearing opening in which a.

movement of the locking devices. The up-.-

per side of each stop is slotted at to receive a pm 21 wlnch projects laterally from the stem 1!) of the associated locking device,

.to prevent the same' from turning in its bearing and to guide the locking device in its movements fore and aft of the machine. The rear end of each stem is provided with a head 22 curved on its contact face as indicated in Fig. 2. The forward end of each stem 19 isprovidedwith a head 23 preferably secured thereto by riveting .as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. 'llh1s is in order to enable the locking devlces to be connected with the stops as will hereinafter appear.

An elongated tooth 24L "projectslaterally from each stem 19 and is adapted to be received in any of the interdental spaces '14 I in the column stop bar when the locking device is moved rearwardly to the engaging position shown in Fig. 3. When, however, the locking devices are moved forwardly to the normal position, as indicated in Fi l and atthe right-hand stop in Fig. 2, the engaging tooth 24 registers with the plain or untoothed portionlfi of the column'stop bar, so that at this time the disengaged column stop is free to move along the column stop bar. It will therefore be understood thateach locking device may be moved rear-,

,wardly. to'lock the associatedcolumn stop to the column stop bar and may be moved forwardly to free the column stop from the bar in order to afford an adjustment of the stop along the bar.

The stops may he slipped over an end of the bar 11 before the latter is secured to the carriage and a frer the locking devices have been moved to bring the projections 24 thereon in register with the untoothed part 15 on the bar. Each lmkiug device may be in=" sci-ted from the. rear through the, bearing opening and slot 20' in the associated stop and the head maytheii be riveted or otherwise connected to the stem 19 to connectthe locking device with its stop.

For the purpose of my present invention any suitable tahulator mechanism maybe employed to cotiperatc with -the column stops. in the present instance I have s own' tahulator meclnmis'ni such as that emp oyed in the No. 11 Remington machine. This mechanism comprises a series of,denominational stop levers 25. which levers are pivoted' at 26 to a tabulator frame 27, sechred to the frame of the machine b screws 29 and 29. The upper forwardly extending e11 is of .;po1rtion of the- :11 1,

the denominational stop levers constitute denominational stops 30, which project through guide slots in a plate 31 secured to the tabulator frame. The lower end of. each lever is pivotally connected to a forwardly extending link 32-, connected at its forward end to a depending arm of an angular actuating lever pivoted on a rod 3%, the latter being secured. to the base of the machine. The forwardly extending arm 35 of each ac tuating lever is operatively connected to akey stem 36, provided with a tabulator key 3.7. Each key stem moves'in guide openings in plates and 39 secured to the base of the machine. A coiled contractile spring 40is 80 connected at one end to the depending arm 53 of an angular actuating lever, and at its opposite end to the plate 39, to restore each actuating lever and the parts controlled thereby to normal position. It will be nnderstood that a depression of any of the tabulator keys 3? is ett'ective to move the corresponding -denominational stop into the path of the column stops 16 wvlnch are at all times maintai z'ed;rin"-the operative position;

.A depression of a tabulator-key 3,7 is likewise efi'ective. to release the carriage from its ,eseapeinen =mc hanisn uitablej arriage release evice. ,--as" employed in the"i\'o. 11 emington machine and which are not shown.

Iii order to lock the different colnmn stops to the column stopbar'or rod 11,,1 have provided a ctintrolling;;-act.i1ating or locking device 41 which is'in'th nature of a crank arm and is-provided witlratontaet or engagingv portion- 42. off-set from the lower I Qindi l'ted in Fig. 2. This is inforde rto deacontact portion 42 in snhstantial.- almetnent fore and aft of the machine, or just to the right of the left-hand or decimal stop-of the series of denominational stops 3U. 'lhis'decimal stop is shown in Fig. 2 projected to the operative position and maybeunderstoodto be in a 11o position which corresponds to the printing point or in'or substantially in a 'foreand aft vertical plane passing through the printing -noint'.--: The crank arm 4l'is secured; to a' rock shaft 43. mounted in hearings in 'upwardly extending arms of a bracket 45, secured to the top plate-pf the machine by screws 46." The rock 'sha'ft 43 is also. pro- .vidcdwith a rearwardly extending crank arm .47 -to which the upper end of a link 48 is pivoted. The linkis bent at 49 to clear the top plate of the maclnne and extends downwardlyto a point-50 where it is pivotally connected to a key lever 51, fulcrumed at 52 and'provided with a-finger key A restoring spring 54 is connected at oneend to a plate 55 and at its oppositeend to the. key lever 51, to. return the 'key lever andthe parts controlle'd thereby to normal position.

It will be understood that adepression of 13C the finger key is effective to move the arm 41 rearwardly, and thus move the locking device in register therewith re'arwardly to the locking position as indicated in Fig. 3.

The parts are so related, constructed and arranged that whemany of the column stops is in contact with the decimal stop, as shown in Fig. 2, the associated locking device on said stop Wlll be m register with the .con

trolling device 41, to enable said controlling device to move the locking device to engaging position. It has been explained that the decimal stop may be understood to be in a vertical fore and aft plane which extends through the printing point, or substantially in such a plane and it follows that when the decimal stop ,co-acts with one of the column .stops, said column stop will be in a corresponding position. Thus, for instance, if a column stop co-acts with the decimal stop when the carriage is at, say, '20 on the carriage scale, and the column stop is locked in'this position, then the same co umn stop,

always arrest the carriageat '20. It will be seen, moreover, that the controlling device 41 is cooperative with but one locking device at a time, and that the controlling device being carried by the frame of the machine and the locking devices being carried on the carriage, a relative movement between the locking devices and said controlling device will be effected during the travel of the carriage and in the direction of the,

travel of the carriage. It will also be seen that a corresponding relative movement ls efiected between-the column stops and the decimal stop.

In selecting the positions of the different column stops for use, and for locking them in such ositions, it may be assumed that the locking .devices of all of the column stops 16 are in the released position and that all of the column stops have been moved by hand to the extreme left'along'the columnstop bar and are carried along therewith by frictional engagement alone. The carriage is then moved'to the extreme right and the paper inserted in the machine. The decimal stop key may then be de ressed and the carriage moved to the le t to a position where the first column isto be begun. During the movement of the carriage to the left, the column stops will be carried by friction along with the column stop bar and the first of the column stops, say, that indicated at the left in Fig. -2, is brought into engagement withthe projected decimal stop. The engaged column stop, as well as the others to the right thereof, will be held by the was engaged with the decimal stop in position on the column stop bar; The decimal stop may then be again projected forward into the path o't' the next column stop, as

shown in Fig. 2,-and said column stop, as well as the remaining column stops to the right thereof, will be arrested by the decimal stop .during the further movement of the carriage to the left; affording if necessary, a movement of the column stop bar with the carriage inclependently'of those column stops which are held by the decimal stop. When the position where the second column is to be begun is reached, it may be assumed that the parts are ositioned as represented in Fig. 2. .A d finger key 53 at this time is efiective'to actuate the member 41 and the locking de -vice which is in register therewith, thus epression of the field where the column steps are ordinarily l adjusted, only those column stops wi 5 behrought into use which have been posi- '-tioned and-docked to the column stop rod in the-manner described.

' From theioregoing description it will be understood that -.-t-he travel'of the carriage thedifi'erent column stops successively into cooperative relation with the decimal sto, which aids in selecting the positions are such stops are-m 'be ilsed and the. decimal stop at this time constitutesan, arresting device to arrest eachof the column stops in a position where the lock ing device thereon is in contr'ollin device 41. The travel of the carriage a so brings the different locking de-- vices successively into register and cooperative relation with the controlling device 41 register with the 'In order to clear the various column stops, preparatory to resetting them in new positions, it is necessary to move the locking devices of'the different locked column stops to inoperative, unlocked or released positions. Any suitable means may be employed for this purpose. In the present instance I have shown a device such as that disclosed in the application of Oscar Woodward hereinbefore referred to. .This construction comprises a wiper or cam 56,,provided with oppositely inclined contact faces 57, and a .stem'58. The stem is mounted in a suitable bearing opening in the tabulator frame for movement fore and aft of the machine,.from the full to the dotted line. position, indicated n Fig. 2, or vice versa. The movement of the cam 56'into and out of operative position is controlled by a finger piece 59, provided with a cam (not shown), which cooperates with a cam (not shown) on the stem 58. A depression of the finger piece 59 is effective to move the cam 56 from the full to the dotted line position in Fig. 2, to bring said cam into cooperative relation with the contact heads-22 on the locking devicesof the different stops. It will be understood, therefore, that whenthe cam 56 is in the operative or dotted line position in Fig. .2,:it will be effective to cam or move the locking devicesforwardly .when the carria-ge is moved in-either direction to bring about a relative movement between said locking devices and thee-am 56. The column stops may then all be moved to the righthand end of the stop rod and the setting of the stops in the new positionsmay be efl'ected in the manner hereinbeforedescribed.

It will be seen that in accordance with iny present invention it is only necessary to provide as many column stops as are to be used at any one time, seven being shown in thepresent instance. This provides for'the use of as many as seven columns, which, in most 1nstances, is as many-as is necessary. It should be understood, nevertheless, that the number of stops employed may be varied in accordance with the requirements of the work or the length of the carriage employed. Additional stops may be placed on the stop rod by withdrawing the screws 12 and removing'the rod. Additional stops may then he slid over the end of the rod or some of those shown may be removed from the rod. The construction is such that asmany or as few of the stops which are on the rod, may be used as'are required, and they may each be readily set or adjusted to different se lected letter space positions along the red as determined by the position of the carriage in its travel; the carriage aiding in the positioning of the stops'on the columnstop rod. This is regarded as'a distinct advan' tage over certain. rior constructions inwhich'a separate co imn stop is employed for each letter space position of the carriage. Various changes may be made without departingfrom the spirit and scopeof my invention.- 1
