The slide is reciprocated by an eccentric h driven by wheels i, j, the wheel i being half the size of the wheel j and loosely mounted on a constantly-driven shaft s. A spring-actuated key n, Fig. 9, in the wheel i is normally held out of engagement with a hub m on the shaft by the wedge end of a bell crank p. As the cutter carriage d is withdrawn, after cutting a tooth, a dog q on it operates a trip lever p<3>, which, through the spring-returned rod p<1>, operates the bell crank p, the w h e e l i making one revolution, and rotating the eccentric a half revolution. This unclamps the blank, allowing it to be rotated one space. The dog then operates a second lever p<3>, rotating the eccentric another half turn to again clamp the blank as shown. During the forward movement of the cutter carriage, the dog trips over the levers. The cutter carriage may be arranged to operate the slide f direct through bell cranks or toggle-levers. The slide M may be adjustably clamped on the bracket N to suit different sizes of blanks. Both clamping-jaws may be moved if desired, and the apparatus may be operated by any suitable part of this or other machines.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1900-12-24
Granted: 1901-11-02
Abstract: 23,594. Boult, A. J., [Sears, C.]. Dec. 24. Type-writers.-Relates to differential escapement feed-mechanism for type-writers, and is described with reference to the Hammond machine. In the plan view, Fig. 1, the carriage is not shown ; it is driven by the spring drum C<1>, and the carriage feedrack also engages with a pinion h<1> on a shaft H. The carriage is thus placed under the control of the escapementwheel K, the shaft J of which is connected with the shaft H by gearing j, h. Mounted loosely on the shaft J is a pawl-carrier D, Fig. 4, which bears a spring pawl d. An arm d' extending from the pawl-carrier normally abuts against a stop M, thus preventing movement of the escapement-wheel. The shaft J passes through a slotted plate E, the arc-shaped top edge of which is adapted to lift a pin carried by the pawl d, and release the pawl from the escapementwheel K. The lower end of the plate E is pivoted to a detent-pawl N, which engages with the escapement-wheel as the pawl d leaves it. The plate E and pawls d, N are raised by means of a slotted lever P engaging with a pin n carried by the pawl N. The depression of a key lever R actuates the lever P through the medium of a universal frame T, arm t<1>, and adjustable screw t<2>. At the same time the pawl-carrier D is thrown back by an amount proportional to the width of the character in question, so that, when the pawl d re-engages with the escapement-wheel, the carriage will be free to advance through a similar distance. The movement of the pawl-carrier is effected as follows :-Underneath the front ends of the key levers is a swinging frame comprising a rock-shaft G, arms g, and a bar g'. A notched bar g<2> is carried by the bar g<1>, and, though normally tensioned towards the left by a spring, is capable of a limited movement to the right owing to the pin-and-slot connection g<7>, g<8>. The frame g is connected with the pawl-carrier by means of a link Q, bell-crank lever S, and lever V, which last is pivoted to the pawl-carrier at d<3>, Fig. 4. As soon as the pawl d has been raised by the depression of a key lever, the spring t<3>, Fig. 2, draws forward the frame g, and shifts the pawl-carrier to an extent limited by the abutment of the notched bar g<2> against the shoulder r formed on the key lever. In order that 'the proper spacing shall be preserved when the shift-keys W, W<1> are in use, the bar g<2> is formed with extra notches, making three. for each key lever, and is shifted to the right by means of a wedge-shaped block Z, carried by the rocking frame z of the shift-keys.
