To all whom -il may erinnern:

Bai known that l, Gsoiios Sans, citizeno the United States, and resident' of lion, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have 'invented certain new and useful iinprovemonts in Type-l-v'riting Machines, of which the i'oliowing is a specication.

lty invention relates to typewriting nia- 'chines and more particularly to tahniator mechanism.

My invention has for its principal object io produce a simple and eiiieiont tahulator in the nature of an attachment to an ordinary bypewriting machine.

My tabulator is designed to he attached io thoss machines Where a denoinina'rioiml ahuiator is not required.

My invention consisis in vertain features of construction and cmnhinations and arrangements 'of parts, all oi which will he r'nliy set forth herein and partimilarly poin'ed out in ihn Claims.

in he accompanying drawingsl Figaro 1 is a front to rear vertical sectional View oi a iypewritsr having my invention ennioiliod therein. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation ot tho same, parts being shown broken away or in section. Fig. 3 is a 'top 'plan view ot tho saine with parts in'oli'en away and paris in snniion and with all of the type-n'l'itor mechanism omitted except the tahulatorand part of the Carriage. Fig. Ll is an isometrici'iow of a Certain lover o1' rocking iii-anw. Fig. isla iront vien' of thv iivy-(nioratwl sion and some oi lin` assoriatndparts. thix rocking fram@ shown in Fig. llining how shown parily in section. Fig'.

lily invention is applivahlo to tylmvriting machines gonerally. but it. is hunx lshown applied to a Monarch typenjriti The embodiment of my invention Shown in 'the drawing' consiats of a Monarch No. 3 typewriter wi'rh a single tahnlator kry and key operated stop substituted for tho di nominational stop nwohansin ot' that niachine.

The Monarch machine coinpriscs a has@v 1, from which rise posts Q that support a top plaie 3. Print-ing key levers 4 operato iront strike type bars 5 through upright solider/ors 6 and links'i'. The platen v8 is mountedl in a carriage 1G which is supported by stationary rails-'1 12 rising from the top plate 3. The can. ringe isl drawn across the machine'byh snring drum 13 and its motion is controlled by mechanism comprising a rack 14 whioh is mounted on arms l'each pivoted at 16 to the carriage 1G, Springs -17 presI` the rack 14 into engagement with a pinion 1 8 which is mounted on a shaft 20, which near iis rear end carries an escapement wheel 21 which is engaged by feed dogs Inonnte'd onv a dog rocker 2:2 which is loperated by a link 23 connected with a universal bar A24.

The standards 12 are arched towardthe hack oi the' machine as shown to admit yof the travel tlwrothrongh of a vcolumn stop har 25 which is monnted on lhe carriage 10 hy means of arms 26. This stop oar is of approximately Square #ross section and hhs tho .usual notohes ont in two opposite faces. thoreof for the reception of bifur'cated column stops QT which are mounted on the har and arf,x adjustable along it in the Usual manner. Y v

The parts thus tar dosrrihod are or may be oi i'ho orilinary Monarch o. 9 nonni-motion and. as i'ar as my invontion is concerned, thoy may ho ofany other suitable construci'ion.

My tahnlator sion mechanism comprises a hoy oporatod .stop whirh is in thi1 rature of a lover pivotod on a pin 3l that @Surnds ilansvorsoiy of a fram@ or hraokot 32 which is aii'arhed io and is ditachahlo from the top plate Said hrarlcot ooininises a hase- ]iart 3?) whifh lios fiat on ih roar part of tho top plato to whith it is sofnred srrows 34 n'hirh may ho ihroadod info thevv somo holos in ilw top plain hat ivolildlbo nsod 'for the 'flaino oi tho dfnorninational stops if a dbnoininational tahnlntor were omployrd: and. in raso tho column Soplmr Q5 is gradnatml, it may he 'proferahle to lo-Ay l mounted on standards roo oai@ my single keyop0raiod`stop 30 as" shown in the drawing. that is to say. in the position that would he occupied by the df.-v nominational stop corresponding" to the decimal point. The stop'lover ai itsv'y'uinper part plays in a guide Islot 35, (Fig: 6) in the bracket 3Q. said slot beingjonly wide enough to prevent. bindingr of the stop. The

lower part. of said bracket is orined with a. wider opening 3G and'lt is through t-hls a. pin le projecting from the sido of tl opening that the pin 3l extends. lever 8U is returned to norn'ial position hy moans of a spring '3? coiled about the p' lwithin the opening; 36. Another pin 2555 secured inthe bracket 32, has pivotcti thereto a lever or rocking traine i-O, the rear part of which bent intorthe forni-ot' a yoketrame having tivo holes Ll1 through which the pin passes. Une arm l2 of the yoke frame extends upward and has at its upper end a notch or open slot 43 in which lies 1e slop llever ldbeloiv its: pivot 3l. The rocking traine et() has its left-hand arm 45 extending approximately horizontally to the front of the machine at'the left ofthe eetapement Wheel 2l.. This arm 45 has its forward end -hent toward the right, formingha transverse arm in (Fig. 4;) having'a .hole dtherein,

said hole standing in front of the escapement Wheel 2i. The part of the bstop mechanism there far'described can be removed from the machine by removing the two screws Sil and another screw that enters the hole e?.

llily tahnlator ie operated hy means ot a single key ,which is here .shown in the keyboard oi" a machine just `hack-oit the last ron of printing; keys and at the middle of the machine.

forward end of a depressible key lever 5l which atits rear end is pivoted on a screw 52 threaded into an arm '53 of a bracket 5ft which is secured to a cross bari forming partoi the hase l of the main frame ot the machine. The bracket 541 lies on top of the cross har embracing the forward and rear edges ot said cross bar, to which bar secured by bolts 57.

The key lever y5l is of U-shape at its rear' end and comprises a. forwardly extending lever arm 58. The. two branches 5l. and 58 The key 50 is mounted on thek the bracket is rille .-:top f 'its upper end is hitnrcated as shown l i g i l l l i l aaai/iv y in Fig. to straddle the shaft 20. Each branch of this litter has its upper end lient horizontally forward to forni a shoe 73 that lies beneath the rack le. A shouldered and headed screw threaded into the rack lifter T2 beneath the pinion '18, passes loosely throufjhthe'hole 47 in the rocking frame 40. ',l e construction'is such that when the key 50 is depressed, the forward end of the lever 64 is depressed and the rear end of said lever is elevated, Which, through the link 66 and lever 67, raises the rack liitcr to the position shown in Fig. 6, thusI lifting` the feed rack 14 outv of engagement with the pinion 18 and releasing the carriage from the escapement mechanism. The upward motion of the lifter 72 elevates the forward arm of the frame 40 and rocks the stop lever'30 Vto the position shown in Fig. 6 where the blade of the stop is in the path of the column stops 2T.

In order to assist and the associated parts to normal position, a plate spring 75 is mounted on the bracket frianrl said spring presses Upward and torn'ard on a pin -76 projecting from the lever G4. f'

lever of thesecondorder and the lever 64 and has ears 5G bent down and sort that can he easily and quickly placed of this lever are connected by a sleeve or y tube t3() through which the screw 52 passes,

, thus giving the lever a Wide bearing. The

i 67 of ther third order.

entire lever 5l is stamped up out oa single plkge: of sheet metal ont and bent 1n the form shown and having the key 50 eecuredthereto hy screws 6].. The bracket 5e has a rearwardly directed arm 62 on which, at 63, is piv ted a lever 64C of the virst order. The forwari sind of this lever 6e lies heneath the lever arm 58 of the keylever 5l and the rear end of said .lever has a headed pin 65 `prolecting "therefrom and having pivoted` thereon the lower end of a link G6, the upper end ot which is pivoted to a lever Said lever `67 is pivoted at d8 toa bracket 70 depending from the top plate of the `machine, and at ite free end said l er carries a pivot screw 7l to which is pivoted the stem of a rack, lifter 72Which passes up through a suitable openn l l l l i ing in the top Vplate of the machine and at' being a lever of the rst order. It Will also he perceived that this key lever system can he removed from the machine as an entirety by removing the nuts from the bolts 5i'.

n It will he seen that. my tahulator is of a on machinevheie a more expensive denominational tahulator is not required, and that a denominational tahulator can be easilyv substituted for it at any time.

It will also be ,perceived that the mechanisrn is inexpensive and sirnple,.bnt that it is convenient and eilieient.

Various changes can he made in the de tails of construction and larrangement with out departing from my invention.
