HERBERT H. STEELE, 0F MARCELLUS, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE MONARCH TYPE- WRITER COMPANY, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

TYPE-WRITING MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Hammer 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 Typeriting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates especially to means for duplicating" copies of typewritten matter and the general object of said invention is to provide improved devices of the class specified.

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

My present invention provides means for writing a plurality of duplicate copies simultaneously with the production of the original or first copy of the work.

In the preferred embodiment of my venti'on herein illustrated three copies are written at one time. The work sheets are preferably in Web or roll form, three rolls being mounted on a stationary support in rear of the machine andthe paper being led from said rolls up over a spring mounted guide roller and thence down to the traveling platen of the machine. On the platen frame or carrier is mounted an auxlliary frame which supports two rolls of duplicating material or carbon paper, together with automatically operated gravity returning devices for said carbon paper of the general character shown in my pending application Serial No. 528362, tiled N ovemher 17th, 1905). The work sheets are interleaved with the carbon pa per and the live sheets, that is, the three work sheets and the two carbon sheets, are fed simultaneously around the platen by means ot' the usual paper feeding devices. The actuation of the printing instrumentalities operates to produce an impression on the outermost work sheet through the usual inking ribbon, while the two. underlying work sheets simul' taneously receive impressions from the cooperating carbon sheets at desired inter- Pat-ented Apr. 11, 1911.

Serial No. 536,814.

vals. The paper feeding devices may be released, permitting the carbon paper to be automatically drawn back or returned by the gravity devices so that the same portions of the carbon paper may be repeatedly used to reproduce the type impressions. A severing device is provided by which the work sheets may be severed at desired points.

The details of my present invention and the advantages resulting from the employment of the same will be better understood from a more particular description in connection with the accompanying drawings which show one form of my invention, and wherein,

l igure l is a fragmentary front elevation of the upper part of a Monarch typewriting machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical, sectional view, taken transversely ofthe platen and the platen carrier about midway the length of the platen. Fig. is a fragn'icntary horizontal sectional view taken on a plane represented by the dotted line in Fig. '12 and looking downward in the direction ot the arrows at said line. Fig. lis a fragmentary horizontal sectional view takenon planes represented by the broken dotted line :l/- I/ in Fig. 2 and looking downward in the direction of the arrow at said line. Fig. ."i is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken on the plane represented by the dotted line 2--2 in Fig. 3 and looking in the direction of the arrow at said line. Fig. ti is a diagrammatic side elevation showing the relationship between my improvcments and the typewriter as a whole. Fig. 7 is a front elevation of a device hereinafter termed a spring mounted guide roller for the work sheets.

While my invention is illustrated, in connection with a Monarch typewriting machine, it will be apparent that said invention may be adapted in whole or in part to other kinds of writing machines.

Referring to Fig. 2, the top plate t of the machine is shown as supporting standards 2 to which are secured grooved trackways 3, said track-ways receiving anti-triction balls 4 whiclnprovide bearings for a slide bar 5, said bar being comprisedin a platen'carrier or frame which further includes end bars 6 projecting forward from the ends of the slide bar and supporting a rotary platen 7. The platen is provided with line spacing devices which include or may include a ratchet wheel 8 (Fig. 1) connected to one end of the platen and cotiperating with a hand actuated pawl (not shown).

It is to be understood that the usual or suitable .key operated type bars and the usual or suitable ribbon feeding and controlling devices are also to be employed, although it is not considered necessary to show them in the present case.

Lugs 9 (shown in Figs. 2 and 5) extend forward from the slide bar 5 and carr screw pins 10 and 11 which pivotally support pairs of spring pressed arms 12 and 13, the pair of arms 12 carrying the main feed roller 14 and the pair of arms 13 carrying the secondary feed roller 15. The main v scale feed roller coiiperates with the platen at the rear thereof while the secondary feed roller is arranged forward of the main feed roller at the front lower side of the platen. Above and forward of the secondary feed roller is a spring pressed scale plate 16 (Figs. 1 and 5) which extends lengthwise of the platen below the printing line and is pivotally sup- Dorted at 17 on arms 18 secured to the slide bar 5. A curved spring pressed paper de- -flector orapron 19 is arranged at the rear and under sides of. the platen, being provided with openings through which the sections of the feed rollers protrude to cooperate with the platen. Said apron 19 is supported on a rock shaft 20 which carries lugs 21 coijperative with lugs 22 on the arms 12 to swing said arms on their pivots and release the feed rollers and the scale plate. The release of the secondary feed rollers is effected by rolls 23 on extensions of the arms 12, said rolls 23 acting against the arms 13 to swing the same downward, the downward movement of said arms 13 also relaxing the spring pressure against the apron 19. To release the scale plate 16 one of the arms 12 acts against a lever 24 which operates on an arm 25 projecting rearward from the plate, the result being that the scale plate is swung on its pivot 17 away from the laten to inoperative position. The releasmgdevices for the scale plate are more fully disclosed in the patent to George A. Seib, N0. 912,186, granted February 9th, 1909 to which reference may be had for details.

To turn the rock shaft 20 to release the paper feeding devices, I preferably employ 4 means of the character shown in the patent to Edwin E. Barney, No. 942,535, dated December 7th, 1909, which means include a shaft and pivotally connected at 27 with an arm 28 terminating in a finger piece 29, said arm 28 being pivotally connected at 30 With an arm 31 which is pivoted on the adjac' at fingers may be provided as shown in Figs.

1 and 5. Said paper fingers are slidably mounted on a rod or bar 32 extending lengthwise of the platen above the same and secured to the end bars 6. Each paper finger comprises a slidable support 33 to which is pivoted at 34 an inwardly off set arm 35 carrying a curved guide or finger proper 36 which is constantly pressed toward the platen by a coiled spring 37. The lower end of the fingers 36 overlie the upper. edge portion of the scale plate 16 so that when the paper releasing mechanism is operated by the finger piece 29 the upper end of the scale plate 16, swinging forward, will press against the paper fingers and swing them away from the platen so as to free from said secured to the front of the base 42 and extend diagonall} upward and rearward therefrom. The arms 44 are provided with openmouthed bearings or slot-ways 45 for the shafts 46 of the paper supply rolls 38, 39 and 40, said rolls being arranged one above and behind another.. The paper is drawn forward from the under sides of the supply rolls and is led upward and forward over a guide roller 47 which is yieldingly suspended above the platen. As appears from Figs. 6 and 7, the guide roller 47 is journaled in a U-shaped frame 48 carrying a hoop 49 which engages the hooked lower end of a yielding or spring support 50, said springsupport depending from the ceiling 51 or other fixed element or stationary part. -A guy wire or diagonal connection 52 is connected at. its lower end to the frame 48 and extends forward and upward to the ceiling or fixed element 51. The three work sheets 38, 39 and 40 pass over the top of the spring mounted guide roller 47 and thence downward and toward the platen, their downward course being guided by devices presently to be described.

The platen carrier carries a detachable frame which provides a support for the carbon roll devices as well as for the work sheet guide. Said frame, as shown in Figs. 1-5, comprises side plates 53 which are arranged transversely of the platen and extend upward therefrom in parallelism. Each side plate is provided. with an inwardly extending boss or hub portion 54 through which the paper finger rod 32 passes, said rod assisting to support said plates. The rear lower end ofeach plate 53 is formed with an extension53 which is secured by a headed screw 55 to an enlargement or stud 10 formed inte rally with and extending laterally outward from the adjacent pivot pin 10.

By the described construction the side plates are rigidly secured to and supported on the platen carrier but may be readily detached therefrom by removing the paper finger rod 32 and unscrewing the screws 55. The side plates are connected together by a tie or cross rod 56 near the lower ends of the plates 53 and also by a pair of parallel tie rods 57 arranged close together near the upper ends of said plates. The middle work sheet 39 passes downward toward the platen between the two rods 57 which assist to guide said work sheet. The inner and outer work sheets 38 and are guided downward over guide rollers or idlors numbered respectively and 59. Said guide rollers may be of wood and are supported on the frame comprising the side plates 53, the guide roller 58 being at the front of the frame and the guide roller 59 at the rear thereof both being near the top of the fran'ie. From the guide rollers 58 and 59 the work sheets 38 and -10 incline downward toward each other, being drawn close together in the neighborhood of the platen. The bosses are cut away as indicated at 54 (Fig. 2) to provide a passageway for the work sheet 38. The

- construction of the guide rollers 58 and 5t) and the method of mounting the same are substantially alike and a description of one will apply to both.

ludiig. -l the guide roller 58 is shown as being provided at its ends with hearing pins 60 which extend outward and have reduced end portions (30 engaging in bearing openings in the side plates 53. At each end of the roller a detachable flange til is supported on the associate pin 60.

The frame comprising the side plates 53 carries near its top two rolls (32 and 3 of carbon paper or other transfer medium. The guiding devices 57, 58 and 5E) cooperate to spread apart or separate the work sheets 38, 39 and 40 so that the carbon roll (l2 and the cooperating supporting, guiding and controlling devices therefor may be ar ranged on the frame between the work sheets I18 and 39, while the carbon roll (32 and its corresponding devices are arranged between the work sheets 39 and 40. The carbon rolls are mounted on holders or carriers which are substantially alike so that a description of one will apply to both, reference being had particularly to Fig. 4. Each holder or carrier comprises a tubular core (S-l and flanges (35, the roll of carbon paper being wound on the core and confined between the flanges. The spool or holder 64, 65 is supported on a shaft (36 which extends through the core and terminates at its left-hand end outside the adjacent side plate 53 in a knurled head (57. On the shaft 66, between the head (37 and the adjacent flange 65, is arranged a spacing sleeve 68, said sleeve bearing in an opening in the side plate 53. At its right-hand end the shaft (36 is externally threaded to coiipcrate with a thumb nut (59, a flanged spacing sleeve being arranged between the thumb nut and the adjacent spool flanges (55, the llange of said spacing sleeve being outside of and contiguous to the right-hand side plate and said sleeve 70 hearing in an opening in said side plate. The construction is such that when the thumb nut (35) is tightened the sleeves tit) and 70 are forced toward each other and coiiperate with the flanges 65 to hold the roll carrier. or spool in adjusted positions. When the thumb nut is loosened the spool may revolve freely on the shaft 66.

"It will be understood that there are two carbon roll holders each provided with supports and clamps as above described.

The carbon paper 52 is drawn oil' the front holder. carrier or spool downward atthe front side of the roll, passing under a roller 71 of metal or the like, the end portions whereof are rcduccd and knurled as indicated at 72. thus providing finger pieces for conveniently handling the roller when desired. as when the carbon sheet is to be replaccd by a new roll. Said end portions 72 bear in upwardly extending slot-ways 73, said slot-ways inclining slightly forward and terminating at their upper ends in enlargements Tl through which the roller 71 may be withdrawn. The roller or sheet-feeding device Tl is adapted to act as a gravity-device to retract or back-feed the carbon paper after it has been fed forward for writing purposes 111d also to draw a fresh supply of paper from the roll of carbon when the nut (35) is loosened. In other words, when either end portion of the carbon paper is hold fast the opposite end portion may be automatically fed or moved endwise by the gravity dcvicc. said device operating independently of the platen and being separated therefrom.

The carbon paper 62 passes under and around the gravity roller 71 and thence is led upward and over a flanged guide roller 75 which may be of wood, said guide roller/T5 being arranged above the top portions or enlargements 74-01 the slot-ways, and being mounted preferably similarly to the guide rollers 58-, theside plates 53 providing bearings for said guide roller 75. From the guide roller 75 the carbon paper 62 is led downward to the platen, passing betwe'en the work sheets 38 and 39, the carbon side of the carbon paper 62 being turned inward so that it will off-set on the work sheet 38.

The second carbon sheet 68 is unwound.

from the rear of its roll and passes down- ,ward and around a gravity roller 76 similar in construction and operation to the gravity roller 71. The gravity roller 76'is provided with reduced and knurled end portions 77 which engage with upwardly extending slots 78 in the side plates 53, said slots inclining slightly.rearward and terminatingin enlargements 79 through which the roller 7 6 may be removed when desired. From the forward side of the gravity roller 76 the carbon paper 63 extends upward and forward over a flanged guide roller 80 and then downward to the platen, passing between the.

work sheets 39 and 40, the coated side of the carbon paper being turned inward so that it will offset on the work sheet 39and rcproduce the type impressions thereon.

An upwardly extending and rearwardly curved paper table 81 is arranged above the paper apron 19, forming in effect a continuation thereof, said paper table being secured at its ends to the side plates 53. The paper table may serve as a guide and also covers and protects the sheets-from the rear in the neighborhood of and above the point at which said sheets are brought into cooperation with the platen. The sheets are introduced together between the platen and the paper apron 19 and feed rollers 14; and 15, and pass around the platen and upward at the front sidethereof under the scale plate 16 and the paper fingers 36. Above the guiding portions of the paper fingersis arranged a plate 82 which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, is provided with upstanding tabs or I ears 83 which receive headed screws 84, said screws securing the plate 82 to the outer faces of the side plates 53. .The plate 82 is cutout and bent to provide an inclined cutter bar or severing blade 85, and a slot-way 86, the inclined cutting edge 87 of said bar 7 or blade being disposed above the opening or slot-way 86 in the plate, the sheets after vbeing printed upon passing upward through the slot 86 behind the cutting blade as appears in Fig. 2. A downwardly inclined guide plate 88 is secured to the under side of the plate 82, the guide or deflector 88 coopcrating with the upper end portions of the guiding fingers 3G to direct the paper into the slot 86. i

It will be understood that-during this initial adjustment of the live work sheets, the thumb screws 69 are l ned so that the holders 64, of the carbon rolls may turn freely and the carbon sheets 62, 63 may be advanced around their respective gravity rollers and guide rollers without lifting said gravity rollers as the platen is turned to feed the sheets. The various sheets are arranged initially so that the two .carbon sheets terminate just above the printing line while the three work sheets are positioned to receive printing in their first lines. The present construction is particularly adapted to railroad way-billing, and it may be assumed that the three work sheets contain printed forms respectively of the original freight bill, a delivery receipt and a shippers duplicate. The printed headings of these forms are of course repeated at regular recurring intervals on the work sheet rolls and initially the first blanks'in the top headings of the forms will be in register or alinement with each other and opposite the printing point, so that type impressions will be reproduced through the regular ribbon on the outer sheet and through the two carbon sheets on the two inner work sheets. Prior to beginning the printing the thumb nuts 69 are tightened and consequently after the first line of printing has been completed and the line spacing devices are operated to turn the platen and simultaneously advance.

the five sheets, the gravity rolls 71 and 7 6 will correspondingly rise in their guide slots. It will be apparentthat the blanks in the three headings or forms may'be each filled in at a single operation, the blanks in the headings, of course, registering throughout, although the printed forms containing said blanks may difl'er moreor less. After the blanks in the forms have been filled in,

the'items in the body of the bill may be written, these items being simultaneously printed on the underlying sheets. During the various line spacing operations incidental to the writing of the bill the gravity rollers 71 and 76 will rise step-by-step in their slots since the carbon rolls are held from turning through the locking action of the nuts 69. If found desirable the gravity rollers may be controlled by rack and pinion devices of the character shown in my pending application aforesaid.

During the line spacing operations the impulse given to the work sheets will cause the spring 50 which supports the guide roller 47 to flex and then react, the reaction rotating the unwinding rolls of paper 38, 3 9 and 40 easily and so as to absorb the shock received from the line spacing lever and prevent the paper from being jerked to an abnormal extent from the rolls as might be the case if the yielding'ly supported or spring moi'lnted guide roller were not employed. l urthern'iore, the to-and l'ro movements of the carriage during printing will cause the spring" mounted guide roller to adapt itself to the incl'iinition assumed by the work sheets which it supports due to the change in position of the lower portions of said work sheets at and in the neighborhood of the platen.

When the writing of the first bill is ern tirel" coin ileted the 'ilatcn ma be turned a l w l to advance all of the webs or work sheets until the bottom of the first bill, as indicated by a line of perforations or other marks on the outermost web, is brought opposite the upper edge 87 of the severing blade 85, said edge serving as a line indicater. The linger piece 29 may then be pulled for ard, throwing off the paper feed.

and controlling devices and releasing all of the webs of the work sheets. The gravity rollers will thereupon drop in their slots, drawing back or retracting the carboi'i sheets around the platen and between the inter leaved work sheets; which work sheets will remain stationary. When the gravity rolls are arrested by striking; the bottoms of their sloilavays the carbon inlays or sheets will have been drawn back to a point below the cutter bar but above the printing line. 'llna'ea'lter the paper feeding devices may be restored to normal position and the three work sheets may be severed so as to detach the three printed'talls; one of which, as has been stated. will form the original bill, anther the delivery receipt and the third a shippers duplicate. The operations abore outlined may be repeated for each set of bills. When the carbons show signs of exhaustion from repeated use they may he severed at the same time with one ol the sets of bills. and. then prior to operating the tinger piece fill th thumb nuts as may be loosened. permitting the gravity rollers to draw. a t'resh supply oi carbon from the rolls, after which. of course. the rolls should be re lockrtl.

"the system for which the present invention. operated as just explained. was particularly designed beretolore. required the use of a double l'oldi-d blank to provide for three separate records. 'lhis blank had to be folded accurately to aline or bringin register all three printed t'orms and the operator was lt'.|llll'( l to insert two separate carbon sheets be ween the folds of the blank. l lir printed town were ilelivrrcd unfolded by the printer and the operator had to told, them as explained. insert the carbon sheets, copy tlu r u-ord:-4 irom th way bill and then remove the carbon sheets or inlays scparately. The carbon sheets had to be the size of the hill: and as the greater number of bills are not completely filled with writing but comprise only one to three lines, the wear on the carbon sheets was irregular and there was a large percentage of waste.

From what has been said above it will be apparent that when my invention is employed. a great saving in time and labor is effected and an improvement in accuracy and. neatness is obtained. ()t' course, however, the invention may be used in other ways and for other work besides those described. The structure, for example. may be adapted to reproduce one copy instead of two by drawing back one of the carbon sheets and its associate work sheet out of, the control of the Jlaten and its feeding devices. Furthermore, various changes in construction may be. made within the scope of my invention.
