Title: Improvements in Protecting Carriers for the Carbon Sheets used in Duplicate and Manifold Writing.
Filed: 1904-05-17
Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 11,343. Kenrick & Jefferson, and Jefferson, F. May 17. Copying documents; type-writers. -Relates to means for securing together carbon sheets and protecting carriers used in duplicating or manifolding, particularly in typewriters, without the sheets being sewn or otherwise permanently fixed together. Also, the interleaving of the blank paper sheets is facilitated by stepping the sheets at one corner or along one edge. In one form, the top edge a<2>, Figs. 2 and 5, of the protecting-carrier a, which is preferably a sheet of paper or other flexible material with a metallic surface on one side, is bent backwards so as to form a non-cutting edge, over which the top edge c' of the carbon paper or papers c is bent backwards, and the sheets are held together by a covering-strip b, the upper put b<2> of which is bent down over the back, and held by gummed ear-pieces passing round the sides. To increase the stiffness and clipping power of the strip, the front part is formed with a tuck, as at b, Fig. 2. One or more notches, according to the number of sheets, stepped as shown in Fig. 5, are provided along the bottom edge to facilitate interleaving, the top carbon sheet having no notches. Instead of notches, triangular pieces of gradually diminishing sizes may be cut from one corner of the sheets, the bottom sheet being left complete. The backing-sheet a and carbon sheets c, Fig. 7, are sometimes held together as follows. Holes e are formed in the sheets, somewhat further from the top edge of the backing-sheet than from the t p edge of the carbon sheets. The projecting portion of the backing-sheet is folded over the carbon sheets at the edge a', and all the sheets are then folded through the centre of the holes e, above which adhesive washers e<2> are stuck, to keep the folds together. Instead of the holes and washers, tabs, labels, or flaps, fastened round the edges, may be used. In another modification, the backing-sheet a, Fig. 14, is formed double, and the carbon paper c is folded back over the top of the front portion of the sheet a, and held by the fold or tuck a<2>. The front portion only of the sheet a need be metal-faced in this case, and the front portion of the sheet a together with the carbon sheets c may be passed through a slit f, Fig. 16, in the back portion, the top of which is folded backwards as at a<2>. In another form, Fig. 20, the sheet a is single, and the forwardly-bent strip a<2> has two slits in it, through which the carbon paper c is passed as shown, notches in the sides of the carbon sheets c engaging with the ends of the slits.

The drag D is first moved from the horizontal position shown in Fig. 1 to an upright position near the fixed cope C, and is then by a further operation moved up to and locked against the cope in casting contact therewith. The drag D is provided with a trunnion d at each side, on which is a roller r running on a way r' on each of the side-frames A on which the cope is fixed. Pivoted on the trunnions d are the longer members F<1> of toggles, the shorter members F of which are fixed on a transverse shaft S supported in eccentric sleeves h journalled in the frames A. The two sleeves h are connected to move together by a transverse bar of segmental section. On one of the sleeves is fixed a lever L, and this is provided with a locking-dog l adapted to engage a recess i in a cam I fixed on the end of the shaft S. The dog l may be disengaged by means of a pivoted lever L<1> connected to it by a rod l<3>. The dog l being in engagement with the notch i, the lever L is first moved from the horizontal position, shown in Fig. 1, to the vertical position, Fig. 6, whereby the drag D is moved into upright position adjacent to the cope. During this movement, the drag is guided by a slotted bracket g on it engaging the fixed transverse rod g<1>. The dog l is next disengaged from the notch i, and the lever L moved further to rotate the sleeves h only, and effect the final movement of the drag. On the return of the lever, the sleeves h are first rotated, until the dog l engages the cam I, after which the sleeves and shaft S move together.
