Abstract: 17,375. Lotterhand, J. C. Aug. 28. Calculating - apparatus. -A typewriter and adding-machine are separably combined. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show an Underwood typewriter as arranged for use over an adding - machine of the kind described in Specification No. 355, A.D. 1903. The adding- mechanism 10 is set in a supplementary casing 20, provided with a front aperture 24<a> for the passage of the typewriter numeral keylevers, or fingers 420 thereon, and a rear aperture 24<b> for the passage of the universal frame. The adding - mechanism is modified only in that the key-tops are removed and the key-stems are adapted for oscillation. The fingers 420 are detachable or integral, and co - operate with transversely-hinged digit bails 40, located above the adding key-stems 200 and held up against a stop bar 45 by springs 44. The stems 200 are narrowed at 202 for the passage of the bails 40, and are formed with slots 201 receiving pins 451 on spring- retracted denomination oscillators 450, which are supported in combs 46 and converge to a spacing corresponding to the teeth of the typewriter carriage rack. The typewriter carriage is fitted with a stop 83, adjustable on a pivoted toothed rail 80, for cooperation with a twopart spring - retracted lever 90, which is connectible with a carriage 60 travelling on rails 62, so that, from a position determined by the stop 83, the two carriages run together. A dash-pot 600, 601 is provided to minimize the shock of impact of the parts 83, 90. The carriage 60 supports a lever 65 for co-operation with a rod 53 on the universal frame 50, and with the oscillators 450 through a yielding finger 67. The initial operative position of the carriage 60 is determined by stops 777 and " denomination " levers 70, the stops 777 being connected with spring-retracted levers 75 engaged by pins 74 on the corresponding oscillators 450, and the levers 70 advancing the corresponding oscillators by means of legs 72 and pins 73. To enable the decimal point to be written, particularly for decimal currency, the stop 777 corresponding to tens of cents is offset to arrest the typewriter carriage and suspend the adding operation. Locking of the keyboard after completion of the numeral is effected by engagement with the universal frame of hooks 121 on a spring-retained sliding rod 120 slotted to receive a tongue 123 on the carriage 60. The adding- bar 100 effects, through levers 110, 112 and a transverse rod 114, disengagement of the lever .90 from the stop 83, and consequent return of the carriage 60 and unlocking of the keyboard.

Abstract: 23,213. Boult, A. J., [Mills, H. S.]. Nov. 11. Spring m o to r s for phonographs &c. are w o u n d by means of an electric motor which operates for a predetermined period of time when set in motion. The motor E, Fig. 3, is preparatorily operated to give the spring of the spring motor the required tension. The wheel F<1> is so adjusted that after winding the notch f<2> receives the lug f<3> of a contact-shifter F, thereby locking the wheel F<1> and leaving the electric motor circuit open. On depression of the lever G<5>, the stop H is withdrawn from the path of a projection d, Fig. 2, attached to the table, permitting the latter to rotate. The wheel G driven by the spring motor also rotates, and, as it nears the end of its revolution, a cam-stud g operates a lever G', Fig. 8, and withdraws a member F<3> to the position shown in Fig. 10, a spring F<4> at the same time drawing a member F<3> forward so that the shoulder f<7> engages the shoulder f<8> on the return movement of the member F<3>. When the cam-stud g releases the lever G<1>, the spring f<6> returns the member F<3> to its normal position, forcing the member F outwardly and closing the motor circuit. The wheel F<1> revolves with the winding-motor, being actuated from the wheel E<5> by the pawl F<2>, and the recess f<2> determines the stoppage of the winding-motor, the member F maintaining the circuit closed till the lug f<3> it carries again falls into the recess f<2>. The lever G<5> is normally held up by a spring, but on being depressed, is maintained in that position by the pawl G<4> till the wheel G has completed its revolution, when the recess g<3> causes it to be released.
