Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: MAYER OTTO FERDINAND
Filed: 1897-05-25
Granted: 1897-07-17
Abstract: 12,927. Mayer, O. F. May 25. Type-writers.-Relates to machines such as are described in Specification No. 10,241, A.D 1896, in which the type is carried on a revolving wheel adjusted in position by the depression of a key, and consists of means for moving the type-wheel holder in printing so as to ensure a strong and clear impression on the paper. The type-wheel f<1> is carried by a frame s mounted to turn on a spindle t in the act of printing. During the first part of the motion of the key lever m the type-wheel is revolved on its spindle f, by means of the lever n, n<1> and gearing g, g', to bring the required type into position. During the further motion of the lever m, it depresses a frame a and thus turns a spindle b. A spring c attached to the spindle b is thus caused to press strongly on a projection d attached to the type-wheel carrier s. The carrier s is normally held down by a projection e engaged by a projection o' upon a lever o which is held up by a spring. As the spindle b rotates, a cam q fixed on it gradually presses back the lever o against its spring until the projection o' releases the projection e, when the carrier s is forced strongly over, under the action of the spring c, to cause the type-wheelf to strike the paper k. The type-carrier is returned by the spring r when the lever m is released. In order to prevent the type-wheel f<1> from turning after it has been adjusted, and thus producing a bad impression, pawls u, attached to the spindle b, are caused to engage with small ratchet teeth on the segment g<1> and thus lock the type-wheel in position. The spacing-key v is operated by the motion of the frame a. Any one of three rows of type is brought into printing position by keys in the ordinary manner.
