Patent GB-191307400-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Erasing Devices for use with Typewriters.
Inventor: SNELL SAXON
IPC: B43L19/00
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1914-03-30
Abstract: 7400. Snell, S. March 28. Erasers.-An erasing-device for use in connexion with typewriters comprises means for revolving the eraser and for automatically causing the line or point of contact of the eraser with the paper to move, whereby erasures are effected at least over the area of a character. A circular erasing-disk i is mounted .eccentrically on a spindle f, which is rotated by means of a chain or cord m passing round a drum g on the spindle f. The spindle f is carried in a tube d mounted adjustably in a tee-piece c, which is pivoted loosely on a pin b upstanding from a base a attached to the typewriter. A spring y, fixed to the base a and engaging a groove in the tee-piece c, normally keeps the disk h out of contact with the paper. In using the eraser, the chain m is alternately pulled outwards and allowed to return inwards respectively against and under the action of a spring l having its ends attached to the tube d and spindle f. During this movement, the tension in the chain m, which is held continually, keeps the disk i in contact with the paper, and, at the same time, by reason of the eccentric mounting of the disk, the point of contact or rubbing moves up and down. As soon as the chain m is released, the spring y removes the erasing-disk from the paper. The tee-piece c and the parts carried by it are directly removable from the pin b, so that the eraser may be readily used for erasing from carbon copies or for other purposes. Modifications are described in which (1) the spring l is replaced by a watch-spring wound inside the drum g; (2) the disk i is mounted concentrically, but is formed with a number of oval or heartshaped projections; (3) the circular disk i is mounted concentrically, but the spindle f is given an up-and-down movement by means of a cam as the disk i is revolved; (4) the clamping- plates h are mounted not quite at right-angles to the spindle f, whereby a slight wobble is given to the disk i as it revolves.
