Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to type- J writers. Its object is to produce a machine in whi -h a number of sets of types, or type bars arranged side by side, are brought into the printing position by parts provided with movable projections and arranged to be shifted in the direction of their length, the said projections. preferably consisting of pivoted arms or dogs. gitudinally movable parts with pivoted dogs is preferably'equal to the largest num- 29 her of characters'occurring in one line of writing; The pivoted dogs are first rocked into gripping positions by keys and a device that travels through the machine, and they 4 are then brought into line by a bar or the like that extends through the machine, in a -transverse direction.
  • the restoring of the dogs of the longitudinally shifted parts into M their normal positions may be accomplished by a single bar extending parallel to the bar into line.
  • Another feature of the invention consists 'in the fact that the'ty pes are arranged on ,bars of bre-adths differing .in accordance letters or characters This maybe accomplished by arranging types of approximately equal widths on a short bar which may be of equal width throughout its length and which, in conjunction with other bars of. different widths, forms a complete set of types.
  • the type I bars are so arranged that, when they have been brought into their printing positions, they may be moved laterally so'a's to enable spaces to be inserted between them.
  • the various magazines are arranged side by, side and when their proper-type bars have all been pushed out to the proper extent the desired types on the 60 various bars will all be in line and in the I printing position.
  • the aforementioned device that travels through the machine is preferably arranged to move one step each time a: key is struck, 05 each key being adapted to affect the stepping mechanism whenever it is depressed.
  • the short type bars after they have been moved out of their magazines, may be locked, as by means engaging with their lower surfaces, and they may be shifted into a printing position inwhich the line length adjusting device may be located which determines the length of a line.
  • the line length adjusting device may be located which determines the length of a line.
  • the type bars are preferably guided in channels formed by par allel resilient metal strips which are fixed at the magazines at definite distances apart from each other, but are laterally movable at the position of printing.
