Abstract: 18,079. Ohmer, J. F., and Bridenbaugh, E. H Aug. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding webs. - Relates to taximeters of the kind described in Specification 27,806/08, and consists in improvements in the printing- means and the locking-devices between the flag and the printing - mechanism. The paper strips for the record sheet and the ticket are drawn by feed - rollers 233, 234 from rolls 23, 23, Fig. 9, provided with friction brakes 228. The rolls are mounted in a frame consisting of plates connected by cross-bars, the frame being pivoted on a rod. The paper sheets pass above and between the plates 195, the duplicate passing behind a separating- plate into a compartment access to which is obtained by a door in the casing. The upper feed roller is mounted in spring - depressed arms 243, Fig. 6, rigidly secured to a shaft 245. The roller 233 is elevated by a lever 246, Fig. 9, a part 247 thereon lifting the roller when the lower end is moved outwards. The outward movement also elevates the carbon box and platen, so bringing the whole into alinement through a part 248 engaging the end of a lever 249, Fig. 3, which bears a hook 251 engaging a yoke 252 on the plate 191. The platen is elevated by the plate 191 engaging a block on the standard 172. The feed-roller is actuated by a toothed segment carried by the gear 184 engaging a pinion 240, Fig. 6, on the shaft 234 of the feed-roller. The carbon paper is fed forward by two rollers 198, 199, the latter being carried by a spring- depressed bell-crank 200. The feed-roller 198 is actuated by a pawl 203 on a lever 204, Fig. 11, reciprocated by a lever 207, Figs. 9 and 11, actuated by the cam 179.
