Title: Platen for writing machine
IPC: B41J11/27
Filed: 1953-05-07
Abstract: 736,724. Typewriters &c. STANDARD REGISTER CO. May 7, 1953, No. 12808/53. Class 100 (4). A universally-adjustable platen roll comprises a rotary supporting shaft 4 and two individual feeding devices, e.g. pinwheels 2, 3, which are each longitudinally adjustable and latchable to the shaft 4, the feeding devices being also adjustable relative to their latches. The pins 8 reciprocate in and out of the wheels 2, 3 to engage a record strip as it passes a recording position or alternatively reciprocate so that the pins 8 project at an ineffective position at the rear of the platen. The reciprocation of the pins is effected by cams 12 internally toothed for engagement by pinions 35 rotatably fixed but longitudinally slidable on a small controlshaft 32 so that adjustment of the cams of both pin-wheels can be made together and in whatever position they may be. The shaft 32 is fixed to a pinion 28, Fig. 5, gearing with a drive gear 15 mounted within a line-spacing ratchet-wheel 14. The gear 15 has a limited rotation effected by a lever 13 attached by a screw 21 and held in either of two positions by a pin 23 in a double notched slot in a disc 16 which retains the gears 15 and 35 in position and which is fixed to the machine framework. The pin-wheel 2 is latched into notches 48 in the shaft 4 by spring slides 50 working in a nut 46; fine longitudinal adjustment between the nut 46 and the pin-wheel 2 is made by an internallythreaded sleeve 53 engaging oppositely-threaded parts on a sleeve 41 of the pin-wheel and the nut 46. A further adjustment of the wheel 2 may be made by rotation of a knurled ring 55 which moves the wheel 2 relative its sleeve 41. The pin-wheel 3 is latched to notches on the shaft 4 by a slide 70, which is moved into locking position by a stud inside a circular nut 71 when it is moved in one direction. Further movement of the nut 71 effects a longitudinal adjustment by reason of the slide 70 engaging in an internal thread 73 of the nut 71. Rotation of the nut in the other direction causes a second stud to release the slide 70. In a modification (Figs. 18-21, not shown), a latch is pivotally mounted on a sleeve longitudinally movable on the shaft 4 and which is adjustably coupled to the pinwheel 3 by a screwed thread. Feed-roller couplings.-The drive from the machine to the ratchet-wheel 14 is transmitted to the shaft 4 through a coupling 95 to accommodate rotary adjustment of the platen roll 1 relative to the drive. A sleeve 97, Figs. 22, 23, coupled to the ratchet-wheel 14, carries a pair of discs 112, 113 housing a series of spring pins 111 which engage in notches in a member 106 coupled to the shaft 4. There is a different spacing between pins 111 and that of the spacing between notches in the member 106 so that only one pin 111 is engageable within the member at a time. These pins are displaced by an internal boss 109 in a spring-biased cover 102. Specification 408,125 is referred to.
