Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 19,773. Brown, S. Sept. 4. Rotary machines; inking-apparatus. -In rotary machines of the class having type partly surrounding the printing-cylinder 4, and impressing the paper 27 through an ink ribbon 20, the spools 10, 10<a> are driven through intermittent friction gearing to give the desired motion to the ribbon 20. On one end of the spool 10, a large friction roller 11 and a small one 11<a> are formed, and the end bearing 7b of the spindle is guided in a fixed fork 12 and pressed towards the roller 4 by an adjustable spring 14. During the printing, the ribbon 20 is fed from the roll 10 to the roll 10<a>, .which is mounted on arms 8<e> and lightly pressed with an adjustable tension towards the cylinder 4. This action continues as long as the roller 11 is in contact with a raised cam 18 on the cylinder 4 ; but after the sheet is printed a cam 18<a> contacts with an idler roller 11<b> and drives the roller 11<a> rapidly in the reverse direction, thus rewinding the ribbon 20 against the pull of the lightly-driven spool 10<a>. The cams 18, 18<a> are so proportioned that the unwinding and rewinding would be equal, but for a small wedge piece 26, which can be slid laterally into position to form part of either cam, and thus increase the amount of ribbon unwound or rewound, according to which way the ribbon is desired to travel in order to prevent exactly the same part from being used twice. The invention is shown applied to a cylinder on which the type is mounted in a flexible holder.

Granted: 1909-04-05
Abstract: 4872. Schooling, W., and Randall, F. W. March 3. Typewriters and like machines.-In a rack - set, leveroperated, adding g and listing machine for recording the numerous bills or invoices paid during the day and giving a total of the same, the items are set on loosely mounted racks by means of a single lever or handle, which actuates a pinion adapted to be brought successively into mesh with the racks. The totalizer is then rocked into gear with the racks by an operation of the main Handle, which in turn effects the printing and the return of the racks to the zero position, the items at the same time being added to the total on the adding-wheels. To furnish a record of the items, the racks are provided with types 76, Fig. 1, brought opposite a row of plungers 78 adapted to be struck by pivoted hammers 85 having arms 87 bearing on the cam 88. The cam - shaft 90 is rotated at the correct time by the main wheel, through mutilated gearing. The piper feed rollers 80 are geared together and are rotated at the correct time by gearing from the main wheel. To enable the paper to be inserted the rollers 80 are mounted on movable plates 103 adapted to recede by cams 104 on the shaft 105, rotated by a lever at the end. The hammers are rendered inoperative by releasing the springs 89 by withdrawing a catch from its hole in the casing of the printing-mechanism. The ink-ribbon 77, Fig. 10, is fed forwards from spools which have toothed wheels 116 adapted to be rotated by single teeth 119 on a sleeve mounted on the shaft 117 rotated by the pinions, from the main wheel. The shaft 117 is moved longitudinally to reverse the ink-ribbon by a camlever 123 which engages a collar 126 on the shaft 117 and is rocked by the thick end of the inkribbon. To prevent printing of noughts to the left, the racks are provided with blanks which are normally held opposite the printing paper, and provision is made on each rack to allow of an extra movement of one tooth to effect this, consisting of pins 133 on a shaft 134 engaging pins 135 on the racks, the shaft being rocked at the correct time by a pin on the main wheel engaging a system of levers connected thereto. In another form of printing- mechanism the type are upon independent plungers loosely carried, and are struck by the hammers to force the ribbon against the paper ; to obviate the printing of zeroes to the left all the hammers remain locked except those of and below a denomination in which there is registration. The segments may have extensions for the types, in which case the hammers are suitably curved. When a total is to be printed, it is either set on the racks and printed in the same manner as a separate item, or the totalizer is cleared to zero while still in gear with the racks.
