Patent GB-191302127-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: PETERMANN OTTO
IPC: B41J35/00
Filed: 1913-01-27
Granted: 1914-01-27
Abstract: 2127. Petermann, O. Aug. 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Ink-ribbon mechanism; folding machines.-Adjustable-throw vibrator mechanism of the kind described in Specification 2124/13 comprises a member which is operated from the universal-bar mechanism and is provided with a device which engages the vibrator and can be adjusted directly by the finger. As applied to folding typewriters, the vibrator mechanism is mounted to fold with the carriage but is adapted to be driven positively when in working position. In the arrangement shown, the vibrator mechanism is in the form of a self-contained attachment to a folding typewriter, the working parts of the vibrator mechanism being mounted on a bracket 37 which is secured by screws 40 to the carriage-bed 34. The member referred to above consists of a plate 56 pivoted at 57 to the bracket and formed with a slot 81, Fig. 8, which normally engages a pin 80<a> on the laterally movable rod 28 of the universal bar mechanism, the connexion forming a positive drive but allowing the carriage to be folded, To permit adjustment, the pin 80<a> is formed on a bendable part 80, Fig. 10, of a bracket 77, which is adjustably secured to the rod 28 by screws 79 engaging slots 78. The adjusting-device consists of a finger-lever 59, Fig. 5, pivoted at 60 to the plate 56 and formed with a cam or channel 62, Fig. 8, engaging a roller 61 on the vibrator 47, which is pivoted at 54 to an arm 55 on the bracket. The pivot 59 is normally in alinement with the pivot-pin 45 of the roller 44. The vibrator may as shown be formed with a single ribbon-eye 51, or there may be two ribbon-eyes formed in a U-shaped end of the vibrator. The throw of the vibrator depends on the position of the lever 59 with respect to the plate 56. To facilitate adjustment, the lever is formed with an aperture 69, Fig. 5, adapted to be set over disks 70 secured to the plate 56 and marked S, B, R, these marks indicating respectively the stencil, black, and red adjustments. When the lever is in the stencil adjustment, the channel 62 is ineffective with respect to the vibrator. The lever is held in the adjusted position by means of a curved or cam part 64 which is formed on the plate 56 and is arranged over the finger-piece 66 of the lever, frictional engagement being maintained by the resilience of the lever. The plate 56 is connected to a returning-spring 72 which normally holds a finger 75, Fig. 5, on the plate against a finger 74 on the bracket and prevents movement of the vibrator mechanism when the machine is folded. The plate 56 is supported by the finger 74. The finger 75 can be bent to adjust the initial position of the vibrator. The bracket 37 is formed with a slot 43 which engages a roller 44 on the pin 45, Fig. 8, and prevents lateral movement of the vibrator.
