ToI all 'whom it may concern; v

Be it knownethat I,- CARL GABnIELsoN, a citizen of' the`nited Statesend resident of Springeldyin the count of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, ave invented' cer-4 tain new and useful Im rovements in Type- Writin Machines, of which the following is a s eci cation.

. y invention` relates to tabulating mechanism for ty ewriting' machines and the mainobject o saidinvpntion -1s to rovide simple and efficient mechanism of -t 1s deiny invention, the section Iat the lower' tion of said view being taken on the ine o these'l ends my invention consists in the various features of construction and arrangements and coinbinations'of parts to'be hereinafter described'and particularly pointed" out in the appended claims.

'In the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate like parts in'the vari .ous views, Figure 1 1s a vertical front to rear sectional view, partly in elevation, of one form of typewriting machine embodying 1*;

'w-/w of Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. i Fig. 3 is a fragmentary horizontnl sectional View of a portion of the tabula-ting mechanism, the section being taken on the line iv-- of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is u. plan View of the rear portion of the mnchine, with the tab-uleting mechanism applied thereto.: Fig. 5 is an'enlarged detail plain view of the denominational stops and their carrier. Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional i the feed pini-on and tic bearing for the 'shaft thereof; the View illustrntin r the man ner in which the ruck releasing yo ce or ruck raiser is guided in its verticalA movement.

'Referring particularly to. Fig. l of the .drawin rs, 1 indicates the frnme'of the muchine tv ii'ch is surpiounted by a top plate 2 that constitutes a portion thereof, and this frame has pivoted ut 3 therein the key levers '1t-provided within er keys 5 and are res .stored tothe 4norma positlon by-s rings 6-. Each of these key levers has pivote fthereto at 7 ja' sub-lever or bell crank 8 that is slottedat 9.n the depend-ing armthereof lfor co-V operation with t e'- fulcrum bar 9*, whereas the uwardly 4extending arm of eachlever 8. has pivoted thereto at 10, av link 11' wh-ich in turn-'is ivoted-at12to a ty Vbar 13. The P se e;

varionstype' bars are pivote 'at-14-in a se ment 15 and are adapted to strike upward y' and rearwardly against the platen 1-6. Extending beneath the key levers is a universal 'bar 17 which is connected at its ends to rods or links 18, that in turn are' operatively connected at 19 -to a transverse curved bar 20- that is carried bythe crank arm 21 secured.

feed pinion 24 coperates with a Vfeed rack 25-'thatis supported and adapted to swing the arms 26` which are pivoted at ,27- to tliscarriage 28, in which the platen 16 is mounted to rotate, the parts thus farreferred to being constructed and'I arranged substantially as shown land described in the patent' to Jacob Felbel No. 657,927, dated Se t.. 18,1900.

pon reference to Figs. 1, 3 and 8 it will be seen that a series of tabulator or denominational key levers 29 are located at the,

right-hund side f the machine and each key lever which extends to the keyboard of the machine is provided with a finger key 30. These key levers arepivoted upon a rod 31 secured to a depending fixed bracket 32 which is .secured to the buse of the machine. Each of the tabular key levers 29 is provided with a depending U-shaped contact piece 38, which is secured to the key lever so as to leave n space between the bottoni of the lever und the. loop in piece 33 for they recptionof one enit e( a spring 3ft so :is to conci-,ut the sprang to the associate-d keyI lever, 'the opposleor free end of eachA spring bearing upon 1iV cross bar 35, which is `,supported hy the fixed bracket The lower or contact foce of each projecting piece or abutment 33 is preferably rounded as indicated in Figs. 1 and 8.

`Upon reference to Fig. 1, t will be oblm gil served that the various abutments 33 on the tabular key levers are located at varying distances from the pivot rod 31 of said levers, and beneath the various tabulating key levers extends a cross-head or plate 36 provided with integral side arms 36 so as to constitute a universal frame which is mounted on a fixed pivot rod 37. rlhe various abutments 33 being connected to their key levers at varying distances from the pivot rod 31 thereof are therefore 'adapted to contact with the plate 3G at varying distances from the pivot rod 37 thereof so as to transmit'a variable depression to the part 3G, and the various tabular key levers are likewise'adapted to receive varying degrees of depression, eaclrkey lever being limited in its downward movement by an adjustable stop or pin 291, which is threaded and is received within a threaded opening in a fixed bracket 29", the various stops ex- Vframe carryin the cross the base and in the top tending to .different heights as shown in Fig. l. The rear ends of the arms 36 are united by a pivot 38 which connects the swinging end of this pivoted vibratory wardly exten ing rod adjustable sleeve 40 against which the upper end of an expansion spring 41 bears. .This rod extends upwardly through openings in Cplate of the machine with an upwardly and the base is provide surrounds the rod extending sleeve 42 which and the lower anged end of said sleeve constitutes an abutment against which the lower ehd of the spring 41 bears, as shown in Fig. l.

slot 46 for t The upper end of the rod 39 is screwtbreaded at .39sl and receives a threaded col` lar- 43 which projects from a piece 44, which is provided at one edge thereof with a vertically arran ed lrack 45 and has a vertical 1e reception of the stem of a headed screw 47, the stem of which 1s threadf edinto an opening in one of the carriage .sup orting brackets 48 and limits the vertica emovement: of the piece or rack carrier,

44, and the head of the screw prevents a latera-1 oroutward movement thereof.

The various projections 29 from their levers to varying;l extents for purposes which will hereinafter appear. This frame 51 has a rearwardly extending arm 52 on one side thereof and to the free end ot' which is pivoted at 53' an upwardly extending link or rod The rod 54 is preferably a two-part rod, the separate parts of which are threaded at 55 with right and left-hand screwthreads that cooperate with a turn-buckle 5G, by means of which Ithe link can be lengthened or shortened, and thus vary the timing ot the release of the carriag'e, as will presently appeal'. The upper end 0f this link 54 is pivoted at 57 to one` end of a horizontal lever 58 that in turn is pivoted at 59 to a depending bracket 60 which extends down from the top plate 2. of the machine. The opposite end of this lever 58 is pivoted at 61 to a so-called rack releasingyoke, rack raiser or disengaging piece 62, that is' provided with arms 63 which terminate in angular projections 64' that extend beneath the pivoted feed rack 25, and the arms themselves are received within guiding recesses 65 (see Fig. 10) formed inxthe sides of the bearing 66 for the shaft G7 that carries the feed pinion 24. It will thus be seen' that the releasingr yoke 62 is guided in its vertical movenwnt by the arms 63 thereof moving' inthe grooves 65.

'hen any tabular key is depressed to actuate the rack 45, through the cross late 36, `it will depress the cross bar 50 am: the universal frame 51 to which it is connected, thus vibrating the lev'er 58 on its pivot and causing the rack raiser 62 to be elevated. This results in raising;r the feed rack' 2,5 out of engagement with thefeed pinion 24. and thus freeingr the carriage .from the esca ement mechanism, when it-inayl be propel cd in the direction of its feed by the spring.,r

extend downwardly drum 68 that is journaled at G9 in a bracket A "(0 which is lsecured to the frame of thev "machine and constitutes a support for the rock-shaft of the feed dog rocker. To this drum is connected at 71 one end of alband 72 which has its opposite end secured at 73 to a depending arm 74 that extends from the carriage 28.

Brackets 75 are and carry thc fixed prpvidcd with op ositely dis. 77"'n which anti-friction ,bal s" 7 8 may travel an| the carriage 28 is likewise provided with a longitudinally extending bar 79'that can ries oppositely disposed ongitudinally extenliling race-ways or tracksBO that likewise cooperate with the anti-friction balls 78 and thus support the carriage in place; suitable steps heir previ-ded to )revenit-ie escape of bals and limit t e endwise run of the bnrriage.-

The bar 79 carries a tabulating stop 81,

osed race-ways that is e(preferably beveled on one face as indient at 81x in Fig. 4, and may be rigidly secured thereto at 82 and rojects rearinf Figs. 1

which the auxiliary brackets 48 an 83 mayV be secured by screws 84 and the bracket 48 has a threaded opening therein Fig. 9) for the reception of an external y threaded collar 85 whose, cylindrical bore receives the reduced rtion 86 of the stop rod 87. A shou der 88Y bears against the inner .eil

' of the sleeve 85 and thus limits the moveinent of the rod or bar 87 with relation to the sleeve in one direction. rThe end of the from one side of a `pinion 95. "35.' l passes through openings in the stop rod the sleeve 85.

reduced portion 86 has a threaded opening fr the stem of a screw 89 whose -head is seatedin a recess 90 formed at the outer end of the collar or sleeve 85, and the wall 91 `of this recess forms a stop or shoulder for the head of the screw 89 and thus prevents a, longitudinal movement of the stop rod to the left in Fig. 9. Y

The sleeve or collar 85 may be provided with-a. kiiurled head 92 by means of which the 'rod may be adjusted longitudinally with relationd to thefixed brackets 48 and 83, and

the .sleeve may be secured against accidental displacement in its adjusted position by` a jam nut' 93.

The opposite end of the stop rod 87 has a recess in which is seated a stud 94 that pro- 87 and in the stud -94 to secure the sto rod and pinion together. The cylindrica enel of the sto rod 87 adjacent the pinion is seated wit in acorresponding opening in the bracket 83, so that the stop rod is free to turn in its bearings, one bearing being formed in the bracket 83 and the other iii The pinion 95 meshes with the rack '45 hereinbefoie described and the varying dip given t0 the di'erent tabular Yor denominational ke s tui-nsthe rock shaft orstop rod 8 7 to di ei'ent .extents for purposes which will hereinafter more clearly appear. The stop rod Bi'is keifeil at 97 on opposite sides thereof and the adjacent walls 98 are fiat and parallel and adapted to coperate with the centrally disposed ianged or forked portion 99 of a. Asegnit-ntal or arc-shaped denominational stop carrier 100; i

Two C-springs 101, one on each side of the fork 99, are secured centrally within t e segmental carrier by screws 102. These spi'in s constitute clamping devices which are a apted to partl y surround and embrace ie vcylindrical portions the stop rod at t thereof as indicated in Fig. 6, the free ends ofthe springs engaging the rod below its center or widest portion and maintaining 1spond to thc ii'uinbei' o the stop carrier against accidental lateral displacement from the rod or bar.

The kerfs 97 are preferably disposed letter space distances apart and a scale 103, that corresponds t: the carriage scalev or the numberof letter space distances that the' carriage travels, may be provided upon the rear face of the stop rod to facilitate the proper adjustment of the stop carrier 100.I

It will likewise be understood that vwhen the iian e 99 of the stop carrier engages the ker s in the ,stop rod, it is preventedfrom.

longitudinal movement thereon and is caused yto turn or rotate therewith.

The outer face of the stop carrier 100 is i provided with a series of radiating denominational sto s 104 which are in different lines paralle with the travel of the carriage and which are sevmentally arranged so as to provide a space between the `terminal"stops, i

as indicated at 10ft in Fig. 6. The denominational stops are likewise spirally arranged and extend from the stop-carrier in planes which are transverse to the stop rod and said stops are situated letter space distances apart to arrest the carriage at different denominational positions, the intervening spaces between the stops 'permittin the denominational stops to passY thetaulating stop` 81 during the transverse or rotary movement of the former, in case the stop rod shouldbe turned when the denominational stop carrier is opposite the stop 81.

T e stops 104 are each preferably 'beveled on one face and in a direction opposite to the bevel on the stop 81 so as to acilitate this relative transverse movement of the stops A without materially reducing the thickness of the stops. I t should be undeistoodthat in the normal position of the parts, when the tabulator mechanism is out of o wei-ation, the tabulating stop 81 'travels iii a ongitudinal direction through the space 104x formed between the Yterminal denominational stops on the carrier 100.' The denominational keys, which in the piesent instance are eight iii number, correfl` denominational stops provided on the carrier and each key is adapted to turn the rock shaft or stop rod to a different extent, so as to bring the particular denominational stop thereon which corresponds tothe denominational key actuated 1 into the path of the tabulating stop 81 on A the cari'iare and thus arrest the carriage at the denominational position for which the particular key actuated is provided. Thus,

for instance, the' tabular key, vwhich is shown in Fig. 3 as provided with a decimal p bint, will tuiii the stop rod to bring the last stop thereon, counting from the bottom terminal stop in Figzbirito the path of the tabulating Stop on thc carriage, whereas the tabular lqey provided with the numeral 1 thereon and sponding denominational stop thereon into path of the Vtabulating stop' on the carriage but that it will likewise, ,after these movements of the parts, cause the carriage feed rack to be elevated and disengaged from the feed pinion 24, thereby releasing the carriage, when it will be propelled by Aits I spring drum in the direction of its feed until arrested by the tabulating sto on the car,- riage striking the particular denomination stop which has been selected and turned into the path of travel of the stop on the carria e.

It has been explained that the various enominational key levers have the projections' 33 thereon located at different distances from the pivot 31 of said levers and that the dierent denominational key levers have diferent extents of depression in order that a variable throw may be imparted to universal frame`36-36 and thus transmit a variable extent of vertical movement to the rack which is efective to turn the rock shaft 87 to varying extents to bringthe different denominational stops 104 into the path of the tabulatiiig stop 81 on the carriage. The fee'd rack should not be disenfraged from its pinion 24, until theselceted t eiioniinational stop has been interposed in the path of the tabulating stop, and for this reason the projections 29* on 'the different denominational key levers extend to different de ths therefrom in order that the universal ai' 50 may be taken u and actuated at the pro er interval during the depression of the enominational key levers. The extent of each iojection 29% will therefore depend upon he dip of the associatedy key lever, or the extent that parts inust be moved to bring the associ ated deiiominational stop into the path of the tabulating stop. `Thus for instance, the denoininational key lever` for thedecinial point will have the greatest dip and will move the c0- operatino' parts to the rreatestextent to turn the last ilenominationa sto (or that which is located the furthest to t e left) into the path of the tabulating stop and therefore the denomina-tional key levcr for the decimal point'vill have the shortest projection 20* 1n order to permit the denominational stop carrier to be moved to its maximum before the carriage is released.

In the operation of the device, the deto the proper position upon the rock shaft where it is desired to write the column of figures, so as to definenthe right-hand side or limit of the right-hand column to be written on the paper. Thus, for instance we will assume that the decimal point of each column is to be written at the point 60. The denominational stop carrier will then be adjusted to a position 0n the rock shaft which will bring the last stop or that for the decimal point opposite the numeral 60 on the rock shaft 87. We will further suppose that the v,operator desires to first Write 1000 The denominational key bearin the inscription 1000 isactuated and t e denominational stop'f`:"car\1'ier is turned in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 6

and the lifth denominational stop thereon, counting from the lowermost terminal stop, is brought into the path of the tabulating stop on the carriage and thev same movements of the parts will release the carriage. after the pro er denominational sto has been interposed in the path of the tabu ating sto and the carria e will be arrested-at the lift denominationa position. The denominational key is then released and the oper- -ator will depress the proper key levers to write the numeral 1l and three naughts during which the carriage will have the usual step-by-st'ep feed imparted to it by reason Aof the'fact that the feed rack was rengagedV with the feed linion upon releasing the denominational eg. If the decimal denominational key is epressed, the carria e will be released and arrested at the sixtiet osii' tion on the,carri age or when this parto the platen is in re ister with the 'printing oint.

f, however, t e units key be depresse the will be arrested one ste or letter sixtieth p0- carria space istance 1n .advance of t sition. If the tens key be depressed, the carfriage will be arrested two spaces in advance q of this position and sofon up to the highest denominational keywhich in ythis case is millions, and when the last mentioned ke is actuated, the carriage will be a the point 60 or at 53 on the carriage scale, 'so that when the amount 21,000,000.

carriage has ra greater length of or,-

eys l travel when the lower denomination seven letter space distances in advanceof l are actuated than when the higher ones are 1f used, for if the carriage be at 40. when the units key i'sactiiated, the carriage will skip from 40 to 59, assuming the denominational stop carrier above described) whereas if the millions key be employed, the carria e `will CG 7 to C in the position' 53. Henet e denominational 's' i stops 104 are arranged with the decimalV 139..`

at the left-hand end of the spiral, look--L ing from the front of the machine, the carriagen being arranged in this instance to `travel from right to left.- In practice, the release of lthe carriage is so timed that the selected denominational stop may be turned to the proper sition in the path of the tabulating stop ioefore the carriage is in motion or before it can move far enough to improperly engage one of the other denominational stops in the'rotdtion of the set of stops to bring some particular stop to a lposition to arrest th'se carriage.'

While I have shownand described in detail one form or embodiment 'of my invention, it should be understood that various changes ma be made without departing from the spirit thereof. I have shown the l-denominational sto carrier adjustable along its rockin rod or ar to re ate the positions of t e columns thou obviously the .tabul stop may be ma e the adjustable stop t is purpose; and while only a single denominational sto carrier and a single tabulating stop are s own a 1plurality of ,either of such parts may be emp oyed. Various` features shown and described .hereinareclaimed in'two ycompanion cases filed. of even date herewith and bearing Serial Nos. 97,493 and 97 ,494.
