page_text: I. EDWARD FLORENCE BAUM, of 18, South 3rd Street, Harrisburg, in the County
of Dauphin and State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows-
My invention relates to type-writing machines in which the type bars project
up above the paper carriage and the impression is made by a downward movement
of the type when the key is depressed.
The object of the invention is to provide a machine of the above character,
which shall possess superior advantages with respect to efficiency in use
Upon the base of the machine is mounted the fiame carrying the working
parts This frame comprises a front plate, side rails, rear cross bar, and inwardly
extending lugs to which is secured a segment with which the type bars hereafter
described are pivotally connected This segment is formed with a number of
slots one for each type bar and one also in the center for the passage of the
space bar by which the feed of the paper cariage 18 effected Formed
in the front side of said segment near the lower end is a groove
in which is seated a wire This wire passes through & hole in
each of the type bars, and forms the fulcrum or journal for the
same The type bars comprise a vertical portion formed with forwardly
extending lugs, near the lower ends, and the upwardly and rearwardly inclined
portions provided at the ends with two or more type as is usual in this class of
machines These portions are twisted or bent at such an angle to the vertical
portions that when said type bars are operated, the type at the end thereof will
strike at a common point, as is well understood, provision being made for shifting
the paper carriage forward for bringing the other type on the type bar into
operative position, when required A curved bar 18 secured to the said segment
and provided with a lining of felt on the inner side forming a buffer or cushion
for the type bars on their return movement after having been depressed This
bar or plate is provided at the upper and lower ends with inwardly turned angers
which engage with the edges of the felt and hold it in place Springs return the
type bars to normal position after being actuated.
There are key bars, one for each type bar, passing between guide pins secured
to a cross bar These key bars are formed with heveled notches in their under-
sides, which engage with upwardly extending beveled pins which form the
fulcra for the bars. These pins are secured to a plate secured to the side rails of
the machine frame, and they are arranged in concentric segmental rows, the
number of which rows correspond with the number of banks of keys. and there
being three banks of keys in the present case, there will consequently be three
of such rows The said key bars at the front ends are provided with vertical
pins provided with keys or buttons each having characters thereon corresponding
with the type or characters of the type bar operated thereby Said key bars
near the front ends pass through guide slots in a transverse plate,

page_text: The paper cannage is provided with a forwardly extending bail which travels
on grooved rollers journaled to the side rails
A pin on the inner end of a pivoted arm engages with the front or transverse
portion of the bail, to move the same forward when operated Against the outer
end of this aim bear the lower arms of two elbow leveis, the othei aims of which
are provided with buttons or disks. These leveis are jouinaled to a stud shaft
carried by a post, and the portion or aime project through an opening in a plate
secured to one of the side rails. This plate is formed with an offset which
forms a stop for the aim of one of the levers, while the end of the opening forms
a stop for the arm of the other lever. It will thus be seen that the lever to be
marked "Fig," can travel twice as far as the other lever to be marked "Cap'
When the latter lever is depressed it will move the paper carriage forward, so that
the second type on the type bars will be brought into operative position to
change from small letters to capitals, while by depressing the other lever, the
third type will be brought into operation to change the figures, punctuation
marks and other characters, as is well understood A coiled spring returns the
paper carriage to normal position when said keys are released
For the purpose
"
of holding said kevs when depressed, I provide a plate and a lever weighted at
the rear end and at the front end bent to form a finger hold Upon the under
side, this level is formed with two notches which are adapted to engage respec-
tively with the outer end of the pivoted aim described, when depressed
The paper roll 18 Journaled to brackets of the paper canlage, and the paper
apron extends almost entirely around the paper roll and has a longitudinal slot
in the upper side Secured to one end of said paper roll is a ratchet wheel with
which engages a beveled pawl pivotally connected with a counter-balanced line
spacer lever journaled on one end of the paper roll shaft This lever is provided
at its lower end with a lug adapted to strike a fixed pin on one of the brackets,
or a movable pin carried by an arm pivoted to the outer side of said bracket as
the case may be. The pin projects through a slot or opening in said bracket
and by moving said pivoted arm it may be thrown into the path of the lug
The object of this construction is to change the line spacing
Secured to the end of the paper apion is a pin with which the pawl is adapted
to engage The paper roll shaft at each end is provided with a turning wheel
by which it may be rotated to insert a sheet of paper The 1ol can also be
turned in the reverse direction if desired, the pawl striking the pin on the end of
the paper apron whereby it is lifted out of engagement with the ratchet wheel
The paper carriage at the rear side is provided with a number of oppositely
disposed rack teeth at the ends thereof Slidable on a transverse rod 18 a
1otatable dog provided with a lip which is adapted to engage with the teeth
and hold the dog in any position to which it may be adjusted Pivoted to this
dog is an arm adapted to engage with a spring provided with a hammer rod and
hammer Also journaled on said rod is a dog provided with a hip adapted to
engage with the rack teeth The object of the dog is to limit the backward
movement of the paper carriage by coming in contact with a stop so as to
regulate the width of the margin at the left of the paper
A spring banel of
any ordinary or suitable construction is provided with a strap, the free end of
which is formed with a number of holes with which is adapted to engage a hook
secured to the paper aprou
A spacer tach has at each end an arm and engaging with the teeth of this rack
18 a pivoted spacer dog This dog is in the form of an angle bar comprising a
vertical aim and a horizontal arm and is pivoted at its center to the front side
of a track upon which the paper carriage travels The upper end of said dog
is beveled so as to engage with the teeth of the ack, while the opposite or
lower end rests on the free end of a spring A stop limits the forward movement
of the dog Also engaging with said teeth 18 a spacer bar fulciumed on the
curved bar described herein before The front end of this bar is secured to a
bail pivoted to the side rails and bearing against the under side of the key bars

page_text: Secured to the track are two rods, the front ends of which are formed with
notches, and pass through a vertical plate Springs secured to said plate engage
with said notches to hold the plate in place This plate is formed with a central
opening or cut away portion in which is located a vertically movable slide pio-
vided with a headed guide pm working in a slot above said cut away portion
To the lower end of this slide is attached the inner ends of two curved springs
the upper ends of which are secured to the rear side of the said vertical plate
The tension of these springs seives to retain the spacer bar in noi mal position
Pivoted to said slide at opposite sides and at the front thereof, is a pawl for
operating the ibbon spoofs These pawls at the upper ends are formed with
extensions adapted to engage with lugs on a laterally movable shifting bai
This ba is provided with headed pins working in slots in the vertical plate
Said pawls engage respectively with ratchet wheels pivoted to said plate each of
which wheels is provided with two pins which pass though the hubs of ribbon
spools which are held thereon by frictional contact Secured to said spools is
the ink ribbon which passes through a vibrating holder located in front of and
pivoted to a lug of the vertical plate
The lower ends of this holder 18 formed with a lug which iests on the spacer
bar, and is also provided with 1ods provided with counterbalance weights The
upper end of the holder is provided with beveled 1ibbon guides formed at the
ends with hooks to hold the ribbon in place theicon The holder 18 also pio-
vided with straight guides The 1ibbon passes between said guides
There are
two curved plates at the upper end of the vertical plate one of which is formed
with a pointer

This
in the sund diawings the reference numeral 1 designates the base of the
machine, upon which is mounted the lame canying the working parts
fiame comprises the front plate 2, side rails 3, ieai cross-bai 4, and inwardly
extending lugs 5, to which is secured the segment 6, with which the type-bais,
hereinafter described, are pivotally connected This segment is formed with a
number of slots 62, one for each type-bai, and one also in the center for the
passage of the space-bai, by which the feed of the paper-cannage is effected
Formed in the front side of said segment, near the lower end, is a groove 7,
in which is seated a wne 8, held in place by screws 9 at each end
This wile
passes through a hole in each of the type-bai's and forms the fulcium or journal
101 the same
The numeral 10 designates the type-bais, comprising the vertical portions 12,
formed with forwardly-extending lugs, 13 near the lower ends, and the upwardly
and rear wardly inclined portions 14, provided at the ends with two or more
type, (three being shown in the present instance) as is usual in this class of
machines These portions are bent at such an angle to the vertical portions 12
that when said type-bars are operated the type at the end thereof will strike at
a common point, as is well understood, provision being made, as hereinafter
described, for shifting the paper carnage forward for binging the other type
on the type-oai into operative position when required The numeral 15 desig-
nates a cui ved bai secured to the said segment and provided with a lining of
felt 16 or other suitable material on the inner side, forming a buffer or cushion
for the type-bars on their return movement after having been depressed This
bai o plate is provided at the upper and lower edges with inwardly-turned
fingers 15ª, which engage with the edges of the felt and bold it in place.
The numeral 10 designates springs for returning the type-bars to normal
position after being actuated
The numeral 17 designates the Ley-bats, one for each type-bai, passing between
guide-pins 18, secured to a cross-bai 19 These key-bais are formed with
beveled notches 20 in then under sides, which engage with upwardly extending
beveled pins 21, which form the fulcia for the bais These pins are secured to
a plate 23, secured to the side rails 3 of the machine-frame, and they are arranged
in concentric segmental rows, the number of which 1ows conrespond with the
number of banks of keys, and there being three banks of keys in the present case
there will consequently be three of such rows The said key-bais, at the front
ends, are provided with vertical pius 24, provided with keye or buttons 25, earh
having characters thereon corresponding with the type or characters of the
type-bar operated thereby Said kev-bais, near the front ends, pass through
guide-slots 26 in a transverse plate 27.
The numeral 28 designates the paper-carriage, provided with a forwardly-

page_text: "
"
extending bail 29, which travels on grooved rollers 30, journaled to the side rails.
A pin 31 on the inner end of a pivoted arm 32 engages with the front on tians-
veise portion of the bail to move the same forward when operated Against
the outer end of this arm bear the lower arms 34 and 3 of two elbow-levels 36
and 37, the other aims of which are provided with buttons oi disks 38
These
levers une journaled to a stud-shaft 39, cared by a post 40, and the lower alma
project through an opening 41 in a plate 42, secured to one of the side rails 3
This plate is formed with an oft-set 43, which forms a stop for the am 34 of
lever 36, while the end of the opening at 45 forms a stop for the end 35 of the
other lever 37 It will thus be seen that level 37, maiked Fig," can travel
twice as far as the other lever 36, marked " Cap When lever 36 18 depressed,
it will move the paper calliage forward, so that the second type on the type-bais
will be brought into operative position to change from small letters to capitals,
while by depressing level 37 the thud type will be brought into operation to
change the figures, punctuation-marks, and other characters, as is well under-
stood A coiled spring 46 returns the paper-camage to normal position when
said keys are released For the purpose of holding said heys when depressed I
provide the following means: Pivoted to the plate 42 is a lever 17, weighted
at the rear end and at the front end bent to form a finger-bold 48 Upon the
under side this lever is formed with two notches 49 and 50, which are adapted .o
engage, respectively, with the outer end of the pivoted arm 32 when depressed
This lever and the notches are so aanged that when either of said keys 18
depressed the end of the arm 32 will travel slightly beyond the notch with which
it is to be engaged, and will fly back to engage with the notch when the level is
depressed, so as to hold said arm in place This movement of the aim with
respect to the notches is very slight, being inappreciable, in fact, and only
sufficient to allow the arm to engage with the notch To release the lever, it
18 only necessary to slightly depress the key which has operated the said aim,
when the pressure of the latter against the vertical portion of the notch will be
elieved and allow said aim and the paper-calliage to be returned to normal
position by the coiled sping
The numeral 1 designates the paper-1oll, journaled to brackets 52 of the
paper-cannage, and 53 the paper apion. extending almost entirely around the
paper-1oll and formed with a longitudinal recess 54 in the upper side Secured
to one end of said paper-1oll 18 a ratchet wheel 56, with which engages a beveled
pawl 57, pivotally connected with a counterbalanced line-spacer lever 58, jour-
naled on one end of the paper-1oll shaft This lever is provided at its lower end
with a lug 59, adapted to strike a fixed pin 60 on one of the brackets 52 oi a
movable pin 61, carried by an aim 62, pivoted to the outer side of said bracket,
as the case may be The pm 61 projects through a slot or opening in said
bracket, and by moving said pivoted aim it may be thrown into the path of the
lug 59
The object of this construction is to change the line spacing When the
pin 61 is thrown out of line with the lug 59 by actuating the level 58, the pawl 57
will engage with the ratchet-wheel 56 and 1otate the paper-10ll to bring a new
line into position for the type, the pin 60 limiting the movement of said level
To vary the distance between the lines, the arm 62 is tuned so that the lug 59
will stike pin 61, whereby its movement is limited and the paper-1oll be moved
only half the distance Secured to the end of the paper-apion is a pin 63, with
which the pawl is adapted to engage, as hereinafter descubed
The paper-1oll
shaft, at each end, is provided with a turning-wheel 64, by which it may be
rotated to insert a sheet of pape The lever 58 18 also provided with a pin 58",
which is adapted to stike a shoulder 58b of one of the brackets 52 when the papor-
roll as moved backward and limit the movement of said lever To turn the
paper-roll bachwaid or in a reverse direction to that in which it is turned to
insert the paper, the roll is turned by the wheels G4, and the pawl engaging with
the ratchet will carry or turn the lever 58 backward or in the duection of the

page_text: pin 63
When the beveled end of the pawl strikes the pin 63, it will be thrown
upward and out of engagement with the latchet-wheel, thereby allowing the
latter and the paper-roll to tuin backward At the same time the pin 58 will
come in contact with the shoulder 58, whereby the movement of the lever will
be limited and the pawl be prevented from iding over the pin 63.
The numeral 67 designates the paper-feed roll
The paper-calage at the rear side is provided with a number of oppositely-
disposed iack-teeth 68 and 69 at the ends thereof Shidable on a transverse
10d 70 18 a 1otatable dog 71, provided with a lip 72, which is adapted to engage
with the teeth 68 and hold the dog in any position to which it may be adjusted
Pivoted to this dog is an aim 73, adapted to engage with a sping 74, provided
with a hammer-10d 75 and hammer 76 As the paper-caulage is fed forward the
aim 73 will depress the spring 74 until the carnage is near the end of its move-
ment, when it will de off of the sping and the latter, by its resiliency, will
spring upward and the hammer will stike a bell-gong 78 Upon the return
movement of the sping the aim will ide up on the spring Said dog as the
carriage 18 fed forward will come in contact with a stop 79, which limits the
movement of the carnage. The dog 73 as the carriage moves forward or toward
the left of the machine will be locked against movement, but on the return
movement of the cannage the dog will be tipped to allow it to de over the
sping. Also journaled on said 10d 70 18 a dog 80, provided with a lip 81, adapted
to ongage with the teeth 69 The object of the dog 18 to limit the backward
movement of the paper-calliage by coming in contact with the stop 79, so as
to regulate the width of the margin at the left of the paper
The numeral 82 designates a spung-barrel of any ordinary or suitable con-
struction provided with a stiap 83, the hee end of which is formed with a number
of holes 84, with which is adapted to engage a hook 85, secured to the said
bairel The other end of the stiap is secured to the paper-carriage Should the
spring of the banel become weakened by engaging the hook with one of the
other holes, such weakening may be compensated for
The numeral do designates a space1-1ack provided at each end with an aim 87,
pivoted to the brackets 52 at the ends of the paper-calliage Engaging with the
teeth of this rack is a pivoted space-dog 89 This dog is in the form of an
angle-bar, comprising the vertical aim 90 and a horizontal aim 91, and 18 pivoted
at its center to the front side of the track 92, upon which the paper-calliage
travels. The upper end of said dog is beveled so as to engage with the teeth of
the rack, while the opposite or lower end rests on the free end of a spring 93
A stop 89 limits the forward movement of the dog 89 Also engaging with said
teeth is a spacer-bai 94, fulciumed on the curved od 7 The front end of this
bar is secured to a bail 95, proted to the side rails 3 and bearing against the
under side of the key-bais Secured to the tiach 92 are two 1ods 96, the font
ends of which are formed with notches 97 and pass through a vertical plate 98.
Springs 100, sected to said plate, engage with said notches to hold the plate in
place. This plate is formed with a central opening or cut-away portion 101,
in which is located a vertically-movable slide 102, provided with a headed guide-
pin 103, working in a slot 104, above said cut-away portion. To the lower end
of this slide are attached the inner ends of two curved springs 105, the upper
ends of which are secured to the rear side of the plate 98 The tension of these
springs serves to retain the spacer-bai 94 in normal position, which bar passes
under the sliding plate 102, and 18 consequently forced downward when said
plate is lowered Pivoted to said slide at opposite sides and at the front thereof
18 a pawl 106 for operating the 11bbon-spools. These pawls at then upper ends
are formed with extensions 107, adapted to engage with lugs 108 on a laterally-
movable shifting bai 109 This bar is provided with headed pins 110, working
in slots 112 in the plate 98 Said pawls engage respectively, with ratchet-
wheels 114, pivoted to plate 98, each of which wheels is provided with two

page_text: pins 115, which pass through the hubs 110 of ribbon-spools 117, which are held
thereon by frictional contact The numeral 118 designates the ink-ribbon
secured to said spoole. This 11bbon passes through a vibrating holder 119,
located in front of and pivoted to a lug 120 of the plate 98 The lower end of
this holder is formed with a lug or arm 121, which rests on the spacer-bar, and
18 also provided with rods 123, provided with counterbalance-weights 124. The
upper end of the holder is provided with beveled ribbon-guides 125, formed at
the ends with hooks 125* to hold the ribbon in place thereon. The holder is also
provided with straight guides 126. The ribbon passes between said guides 125
and 126
The numeral 127 designates two curved plates at the upper end of plate 98, one
of which is formed with a pointer 128.
The
The operation is as follows: When a key-bar is depressed, it will strike the
bail 95, connected with the front end of the spacer-bar 94, causing the rear end
of the latter to be elevated and throwing the vibrating holder forward, so that
the ribbon will be over the paper at the point where the type will strike
said spacer-bar will also elevate the spacer rack 86, raising it out of contact with
the spacer-dog 89, which will fall by gravity until its horizontal aim comes in
contact with sping 93, which limits its movement The spacer-rack will now
he held in such elevated position until the key is released and the spacer-bar
allowed to fall As said spacer-bar is elevated by the depression of the key the
slide 102 will be elevated, carrying with it the pawls 106 At the same time
the type-bar corresponding with the key depressed is actuated by the key-bar,
so that the type will strike the ink-ribbon and make an impression on the paper.
When the key is released, the type-bai will be returned to normal position by
its sping and the vibrating holder will be thrown back away from the paper-
roll At the same time the sude 102 will be depressed by the spring 105 and in
turn will depress the rear end of the spacer-bar, throwing it out of engagement
with the rack-bar The latter will now fall, and one of its teeth will engage
with the vertical aim of the dog 89 The spring-barrel and connections will
now move the paper-carriage forward or toward the left of the machine, the dog
turning on its pivot until its horizontal arm comes in contact with the stop 89ª,
which will stop the movement of the carriage By this means the paper-
carriage is moved forward one tooth or step, as is usual in this class of machines.
The spring 93 does not force the dog against the stop 89*, but simply acts as a
stop for the downward movement of the dog when the latter is disengaged from
the spacer-bar by the depression of a key When the carriage 18 moved back-
ward or reversed-as, for instance, to begin a new line the horizontal arm of
the dog will depress the said spring, thus allowing the vertical portion of the
dog to ride over the teeth of the spacer-bar When the shifting bar 109 is
moved to the right or left, as the case may be, to reverse the movement of the
ribbon, one of the lugs 108 of said bar will engage with the extensions 107 of
one of the pawls, and thus hold said pawl out of engagement with the ratchet-
wheel of the ribbon-spool at that side of the machine The other pawl, however,
will not come in contact with the other lug 108 and will engage with and turn
its ratchet-wheel and the ribbon-spool carried by the same, and thus cause the
ribbon-feed The extensions of the pawls never fall below the lugs 108, as will
be seen by reference to Figure 7. which shows one of said extensions in its
lowermost position By shifting the shifter-bai the operation will be reversed
and the ribbon be fed in the opposite direction. The downward movement of the
slide 102, caused by the springs 105, will return the space-bar to normal
position
