Patent GB-190810165-A (GB)
Title: Improved Sectional Roller Platen for Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: MATTHEWS JOSEPH HENRY
Filed: 1908-05-11
Granted: 1909-05-11
Abstract: 10,165. Matthews, J. H. May 11. Typerwriters.-The platen is constructed of two rollers, end-to-end and independently rotatable, for facilitating the writing of insurance &c. renewal certificates, invoices, credit notes, &c. upon separate sheets, and simultaneously obtaining carbon copy lists or page entries for loose-leaf book-keeping. The longer roller B is preferably of smaller diameter than the roller C and is rotatable upon the spindle D, endways movement being prevented. A ratchet-wheel E screwed to a sleeve G, or a disk F, &c. provides means for rotating the roller. A metal collar H on the roller bears against a fixed collar I on the spindle, anti-friction balls being preferably interposed. The shorter roller C has a metal collar J fixed to the spindle, and a collar K taking over a stepped sleeve L which is connected with the collar J by a coiled or other spring M. Friction rollers may be inserted between the ends of the two rollers B, C. Attached to and extending to the rear of the roller C are one or more tapes N, which are capable of winding on a spring roller or reels O carried by a spindle controlled by a spring P. A ratchet device mav hold this spring in tension. Renewal lists, debit advice sheets, loose-leaf daybook pages, &c. faced by a carbon sheet are held upon the roller B to receive a copy of the matter typed upon a sheet held by the tapes upon the roller C. This sheet is inserted when the tapes are unwound from the roller and the spring M is in tension; the roller being released, the sheet is wound up with the tapes and is brought to a point predetermined by means of suitable devices. After the sheet has been typed, the roller C is unwound and the tapes are allowed to wind on to the reels. A fresh sheet may then be inserted. In the case of machines which have the usual paper feed at the left-hand side of the platen, the long roller is fixed, and the short roller loose, upon the spindle D. One end of the short roller is connected by a spring with the other end, which forms a bearing for the shell of the roller and is fitted with a disk wheel &c. The roller C is fixed to the spindle when it is at the right side of the platen and the paper feed is at the left side, and is loose upon the spindle when it is at the right side of the platen and the paper feed is also on that side.
