An Improved Interpointing Braille Frame.
GEORGE ROBERT BOYLE, "Barnes Villa," 76, Lonsdale Road, Barnes, S.W.,
Private Secretary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:

The
An improved interpointing braille frame consists of a bed marked by grooves,
or little pits, each group consisting of six. These are arranged in one or more
lines, and a guide is placed on this bed in such a way that when the two are locked
the openings in the guide correspond exactly to the pits or grooves in the bed.
This guide has ou its lower side grooves, or pits so as to receive the dots, and thus
avoid pressure on the dots of the first page while embossing the second; or these
dots may be protected by washers, projecting pins, burrs, or otherwise. When
the first line (or more according to the number of lines in the bed) has been
written the guide and bed travel as one piece, or in separate pieces, down a frame
until two studs, which project from the under surface at its ends, drop into corre-
sponding holes of the frame. When the writer embosses as many lines as are on
the bed this operation is repeated until he arrives at the bottom of the
above mentioned frame has a clip in which are placed two pins; two pins are also
placed on the frame. These are so arranged that when the clip is closed they punc-
ture four holes in the paper, brass or other substance, which is placed under the
olip. When the first page is embossed the clip is opened, the paper, brass, or
other substance, is removed and reversed, and it is then replaced with its embossed
side towards the writer; placing the holes formed in the paper, brass, or other
substance, by the upper clip pins on the pins projecting from the frame. This
will bring the whole sheet the space of one or two dots downwards, or the space
of one or two dots upwards, and at the same time the space of one or more dots to
the right, or the space of one or more dots to the left, according to how the pins
or guides are placed. When this is done it will be found that when the dots of
the second page are made they fall into the spaces between those of the first, so
that much saving of space is thus effected.

GEORGE ROBERT BOYLE, Private Secretary, 33, Cambridge Square, London, W.,
and Barnes Villa," 76, Lonsdale Road, Barnes, S.W., do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
An improved interpointing braille frame consists of a bed marked by grooves,
or little pits each group of pits consisting of six, A. These are arranged in one
or more lines and a guide B is placed on this bed in such a way that when the two
are locked the openings in the guide correspond exactly to the pits or grooves in
the bed, Fig. 2. This guide has on its lower side grooves C or pits so arranged
as to receive, and thus avoid pressure on, certain dots of the first page while em-
bossing the second or these dots may be protected by washers, projecting pins,
burrs or otherwise the unprotected dots can be completely protected by projecting
bars M being placed over them as per section Fig. 1. When the first line (or more
according to the number of lines in the bed) has been written the guide and bed
travel as one piece or in separato pieces down a frame Fig. 3, until two studs I)
which project from the under-surface at its ends drop into corresponding holes E
of the frame. When the writer embosses as many lines as are on the bed this
operation is repeated until he arrives at the bottom of the page. The above men-
tioned frame has a clip H in which are placed two pins F, two pius Garo placed
on the frame. These are so arranged that when the clip is closed they puncture
four holes in the paper brass or other substance which is placed under the clip.
When the first page is embossed the clip is opened the paper brass or other sub-
stance is removed and reversed and it is then replaced with its embossed side towards
the writer placing the holes formed in the paper brass or other substance by the
upper clip pins on the pins projecting from the frame. This will bring the whole
sheet the space of one or more dots downward or the space of one or more dots
upward and at the same time the space of one or more dots to the right or the space
of one or more dots to the left according to how the pins are placed. When this
is done it will be found that when the dots of the second page are made they fall
into the spaces between those of the first so that much saving of space is thus
effected.
A bed Figure 5
be made marked by grooves
may
or pits each
group of pits consisting of six, I, these are arranged in several lines.
The aforesaid guide, as in Figure 6, is made to travel down this
bed by means of studs and holes. The above mentioned bed has a
clip J in which are placed two pins K, two pins L are also placed in the bed.
These are so arranged that when the clip is closed they puncture four holes in the
paper brass or other substance which is placed under the clip. When the first
page is embossed the clip is opened the paper brass or other substance removed
and reversed and it is then replaced with its embossed side toward the writer
placing the holes formed by the upper clip pins ou the pins projecting from the
bed this will bring the whole sheet the space of one or more dots downwards or
the space of one or more dots upwards and at the same time the space of one
or more dots to the right or the space of one or more dots to the left according to
how the pins are placed.
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:-
(1) A guide having grooves or pits so as to receive certain dots of the first page
while embossing the second Figure 4 R

page_text: (2) A guide having in addition to the aforesaid grooves or pits bars M
to protect the unprotected dots of the first page while embossing the second see
section Figure 1.
(3) A frame having pins so placed that when the holes made by the upper clip pins
are placed on the pins projecting from the frame it brings the whole sheet the space
of one or more dots downward or the space of one or more dots upwards and at
the same time the space of one or more dots to the right or the space of one or
more dots to the left, Figure 3.
