supports for typewriters and the like
Year: 1898

page_text: I, JOHN FRASER GREGORY, of 170, Douglas Avenue, St. John, N.B., Canada,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is for an improvement in swinging supports for typewriters
and the like.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improvement; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof;
Fig. 3, a front elevation.
A is a plate of suitable design and B holes through which screws are passed
for attaching the plate. C and D) are lugs and E a connecting rib. Fis the
bracket proper swung upon the pins G and H, the former being threaded and
having a nut I run thereon by which the bracket may be bound in any adjust-
ment by operating said nut. E is a beveled edge formed upon the plate, and L
a similar edge on the surface plate adapted to bear upon the first named edge,
and when the bracket is drawn, downward these beveled edges bind to hold the
bracket in adjustment. M is a plate formed with the bracket having a circular
enlargement at both ends. N is a disc secured on the front enlargement by
means of a thumb-screw and nut O. This disc has radial extensions, and P are
holes formed in the disc and extensions for the passage of screws to hold the
typewriter or other device in place. The plate M is level with the disc N and
has-holes Q for the passage of screws to hold the base-board of the typewriter
when desired.
To bring the typewriter into position the thumb-nut 0 is loosened and the
disc N turned to the desired position and the nut again tightened so as to main-
tain this position. When the typewriter is out of use it may be swung to a
position parallel with the side of the desk, and thus be out of the way.
By my improvement a person may alternately use the typewriter and turn
it out of active position for other work without interfering with the surface of
the desk, or causing the occupant of the desk to leave his chair.

by the following statement;
-
My invention is for an improvement in swinging supports for typewriters
and the like.
In the drawing filed with the Provisional Specification Fig. 1 is a side
elevation of my improvement.
Fig. 2, a plan view thereof.
Fig. 3, a front elevation.
A is a plate of suitable design and B holes through which screws are passed
for attaching the plate. C and D) are lugs and E a connecting rib. F is the
bracket proper swung upon the pins G and H, the former being threaded and
having a nut I run thereon by which the bracket may be bound in any adjust-
ment by operating said nut. K is a beveled edge formed upon the plate, and L
a similar edge on the surface plate adapted to bear upon the first named edge,
and when the bracket is drawn downward these beveled edges bind to hold the
bracket in adjustment. M is a plate formed with bracket having a circular
enlargement at both ends. N. is a disc secured on the front enlargement by
means of a thumb-screw and nut O. This disc has radial extensions and P are
holes formed in the disc and extensions for the passage of screws to hold the
typewriter or other device in place. The plate M is level with the disc N and
has holes Q for the passage of screws to hold the base-board of the typewriter
when desired.
To bring the typewriter into position the thumb-nut 0 is loosened and the
disc N turned to the desired position and the nut again tightened so as to main-
tain this position. When the typewriter is out of use it may be swung to a
position parallel with the side of the desk, and thus be out of the way.
By my improvement a person may alternately use the typewriter and turn
it out of active position for other work without interfering with the surface of
the desk or causing the occupant of the desk to leave his chair.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is: —
Swinging supports for typewriters and the like, substantially as above
described in this specification and illustrated on the drawing.
