I, JAMES SAMUEL FOLEY of 46 Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to typewriting machines and has been designed with a
iew to simplicity of construction and fewness of parts; I also dispense with the
sual inking ribbon and work direct from an inking pad.
I prefer to form the base of the machine of a flat solid or open plate provided
with a depending rim or with legs or equivalent supports this plate being adapted
to carry the whole of the key levers preferably upon its underside and having any
necessary slotted ring or other device for maintaining the key levers in their proper
positions. The key levers may be pivotted to the base if desired but I prefer that
they should not be pivotted at all. This may be accomplished by providing them
with angle or other points or equivalent adapted to engage with holes recesses or
the like in the plate the key being held up either by its connection to the type-bar
or by a spring or by both. By this arrangement the type lever may be punched
complete at one operation including if desired the hole for the wire or other
connection with the type bar; the letter carrying heads can be applied afterwards.
Pivotted preferably at the back of the base I have a lever preferably anchor-
shaped and adapted to bear upon the whole of the keys so that when any key is

depressed the fever will be depressed also.
I will call the anchor although it will be understood that the shape of it may be
altered if desired. The anchor is also depressed by the spacing bar which may for

convenience be pirotted upon it, as well as by the key levers.
may be cast or stamped in a single piece if desired.
Upon the base I prefer to arrange in suitable slides or equivalent the frame
which supports the paper carriage and platen this frame being capable if necessary
of being moved backwards and forwards so as to move the platen with it. I prefer
that this frame should carry a tube having a longitudinal slot in it and in the tube
may work a bar carried by the paper carriage so arranged that the ends of the
carriage may pass the ends of the tube by which arrangement a short frame may
O carry a long paper carriage and platen and these parts can be easily made inter-
changeable. The paper carriage and platen may be of usual construction with the
necessary rollers and means for maintaining the paper in contact with the platen.
I however prefer to provide upon the carriage a stop carrying a metallic band
passing partly round the platen between which and the platen the paper is
5 entered so that when this band is in place the paper upon being entered between
The stop which carries
the two rollers will naturally wrap round the platen.
this band can be adjusted longitudinally upon the carriage and carries the trip
mechanism for ringing the bell so that the bell may be set when the band is
properly placed for receiving the paper. Another band may be carried by a stop
40 which carries a roller to support the back of the paper carriage and travels upon a
suitable bar or rail. A movable margin stop may also be provided at the proper
end of the paper carriage. The bell is preferably located centrally in the machine
where it comes in conveniently for the bell trip above described.
The paper carriage may be caused to travel by a spring partly connected with
45 the carriage by means of a metal tape, chain cord or equivalent. Various forms of
escapement may be used with this machine, but I prefer to adopt a rack or ba
having teeth on both edges with which engage top and bottom dogs adapted to be
operated by the key or spacing mechanism. Conveniently I employ a slide having
an opening through which the escapement rack passes the slide operating

page_text: guillotinewise so that when pulled down the upper dog engages with the teeth on
the upper edge of the rack and when raised up the lower dog engages with the
teeth upon the lower edge. The upper dog may be a fixture in the slide but the
lower dog is preferably jointed to the slide in such a manner that it can be moved
nearer to or farther from the slide the escapement operation being effected by
moving it from the slide when the key is depressed and the upper dog comes into
engagement with the rack and allowing the dog to again approach the slide upon
the key returning to its normal position. The same action takes place with the
spacing bar. The lower dog may be controlled by any convenient arrangement of
spring. The lower dog may be pressed so far away from the slide as to be
perfectly clear of the rack and this movement is employed through the intermediary
of any convenient key or other suitable device for the purpose of allowing the
carriage to be moved along which it then can freely be. The dogs and slide are so
arranged as to accommodate the front and back movement of the sliding frame
which supports the paper carriage, this movement being conveniently controlled by
a suitable key arranged accessibly for the operator. A spring may be arranged to
propel the frame in one direction so that it is only necessary to apply power in the
other direction. The spring is preferably a helical one and carried upon a screwed
rod against the head of which it bears, the arrangement being such that the head of
the screw may be brought nearer or farther from the sliding frame. The spring
bears against a fixed stop through which the pin passes, the extent of motion of the
whole being conveniently regulated by a nut or stop which can be adjusted upon
the screw of the rod. The object of this movement is to employ more than one
type or character upon the type head, and the position of the platen must therefore
be altered in the manner described. Any convenient arrangement of stop
mechanism may be used to fix the key lever, and so the platen, in its proper
position. By the adjustment of the screwed rod previously mentioned the precise
position of the platen can be adjusted.
The key levers can be connected with the type bars by means of rods, wires or
equivalent in substantially the usual manner and the type bars can be carried in
any convenient arrangement of bracket or arc. Each type bar carries at its end a
type head which may be pivotted directly, or upon a suitable head piece, to the
type bar a pivotted rod or radius bar being connected with the type head or the
head piece.
By this arrangement when the type bar is lying back out of use
in its normal position the type face rests against the inking pad which may be
arranged in an are behind the type heads, but when the type bar is brought
forward to strike the blow the radius rod turns the type head upon the type
bar in such a manner that when the bar reaches the bottom of its stroke the
type head faces the platen and prints upon the paper turning it back again to
its former position as the type bar returns.
It is important that the type should leave the paper without partaking of the
turning movement above described as otherwise a blurred impression might be
obtained and to effect this I prefer to pivot the radius arm at its lower end in
a spring-controlled movable bearing so arranged that the said bearing does not
partake of any movement until the type head is within a short distance of the
paper after which further depression of the key allows the centre to move against
its spring the radius rod during such portion of the movement of the type bar
moving as though it were one piece with the type bar. At the striking point
I prefer to have a fixed support preferably tapered and of the same shape and
size as the type heads so that as the letter is printed the type head is held from
movement; one side of this support is by preference cut away so as to allow the
last letter to be seen as soon as it is printed. I prefer to crank the radius rods
for convenience in adjusting their proper length and the same course may be
adopted with the connecting rods between the key levers and the type bars.
The keys may be arranged radially or in straight lines as preferred, but the type 5
bars are more conveniently arranged in the arc of a circle the type heads being for
convenience set more and more across the head pieces as they approach the

page_text: extremes of the arc. I find it convenient to place three characters upon each type
head and thus reduce the number of keys and parts.
The inking pad may be composed of felt or like absorbent material to hold the
ink, faced with muslin or other equivalent material upon which the type heads rest
and through which the ink passes. According to the construction of the machine
the pad may be modified but I find it convenient to place the pad in the hollow arc
and to hold the edges of the muslin or other covering with wires which may be
sprung into the arc.
It will be understood that all the details requisite for carrying out this invention
cannot be set forth in this Provisional Specification, these are reserved for their
proper place in the Complete Specification. Modifications in the parts described
may be made without departing from the spirit of this invention.

1, JAMES SAMUEL FOLEY, of 46 Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London,
Engineer, 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:—
This invention relates to type-writers and has for its object to simplify and
reduce the cost of their construction and will be best understood by reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of a type-writer constructed according to this invention, parts of
which, not necessary for a clear understanding of the invention, are for the sake of
clearness omitted from this view.
Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the crooked line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the crooked line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of some of the type-levers, as seen when looking in the
direction of arrow 4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is an end elevation showing the paper feeding device.
Fig. 6 is a side elevation of one of the key-levers and its spring and a portion of
the base-plate shown in section.
Fig. 7 is a transverse section of the inking-pad drawn to an enlarged scale.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
A is the base-plate which may be supported on three or more legs or standards A¹
with blocks of rubber or equivalent material let into their lower ends in the usual
manner. B is the segmental plate to which are attached the brackets C in which
the type-levers D are pivotted at d. This plate B hereinafter referred to as the
top plate, is secured to the base-plate A by conveniently three legs or standards b.
E is a segmental frame or hollow are supported on preferably two standards e one
at each side of the machine, secured at their lower ends to the top plate B and in
the hollow of which is located a pad E' for containing the necessary supply of ink.
The inking pad E', as shown clearly in Fig. 7, may be composed of felt, or like
absorbent material e, to hold the ink, faced with muslin, silk or other equivalent
material upon which the type-heads rest and through which the ink passes.
According to the construction of the machine the pad may be modified but I find it
convenient to place the pad in the hollow are E and to hold the edges of the
muslin or other covering e with wires or a frame 3, which may be sprung into
the arc.
To supply the pad with ink this may be effected by brushing it over
the outer surface of the covering e² or by removing the wires e and covering e² and
applying it directly to the absorbent material e. This form of pad serves efficiently
to ink the type while keeping them out of contact with the felt which is a great

page_text: desideratum because it is found that wherever the type is allowed to come into
direct contact with felt or other similar absorbent inking material the becomes
type
clogged with fibres whereas according to this invention the covering e² is of such
material or texture that it will allow of the ink passing through it but not any
fibres of the absorbent material.
F are the key-levers which radiate from a common centre and each of which, as
shown in Figure 6, is provided with a bearing point which forms the pivot of the
key-lever and is located in a conical recess a formed in the underside of the base-
plate A. The recess a of each key-lever may be independent of the others or all
the bearing points of may be located in one long groove of an angular shape in
transverse section. Each key-lever is connected with one of the type-levers by a
link f, passing through the plate A, and pin 2 in the ordinary well-known
manner, and each key-lever is moreover guided near its front end in a slotted
segmental plate A2 or between wires or equivalent guides.
G is a bar rigidly mounted in brackets G' secured to the underside or forming
part of the base-plate A and on which bar G is pivotted the back end of the
spacing lever G2, which is preferably forked at its rear end as shown in Fig. 3, so
as to pass on each side of the escapement mechanism. The front end of G³ is
provided with the usual finger plate g. Each key-lever F, as also the spacing
lever G, is provided with a spring H (preferably formed of wire with a turn in it)
for raising it to its normal position after it has been depressed by the operator, this
spring being secured to the underside of the base plate A, or any other suitable
form of spring may be employed for this purpose. The bar & also forms the
pivot of the lever I the front end of which is provided with the segmental plate I¹
which, with the lever I, is hereinafter referred to as the anchor I, and which
segmental plate 1 extends beneath the whole of the key-levers F and spacing
lever G2 so that by the depression of any of these keys or the spacing lever, the
anchor I may also be depressed. The anchor I is pivotted by a pin to a plate J
the upper end of which carries the dogs or knife-edges of the escapement mechanism
as hereinafter more particularly described.
Each type-lever D at its upper end has pivotted to it a shoe K to which is
rigidly secured the type-head k which may have formed upon it three (as shown) or
more or less type-faces k¹³ ³ these type-heads & being so arranged as regards the
angle which they form to the respective shoes K that upon their depression for
imprinting a letter they will always reach the platen with the type-faces presented
in the proper position; this variation of the angle of the type-head & to the shoe K
is most clearly shown in Fig. 4. Each shoe K is connected by a link L to the
end C of a joint-piece C1 C2 pivotted on a pin c in the appropriate bracket C.
Each bracket C is provided with a spring c¹ which bears upon the tail C2 of the
joint-piece CC, and is adapted to yield sufficiently to allow of the movement of
the joint-piece C₁ C' necessary for enabling the shoe K and lever D to move as
one piece after the shoe has fully engaged the lever D (as shown in dotted lines in
the third position in Fig. 2) at which time something must yield, and I prefer this
to be the link pivot, though a spring link would accomplish the same purpose. The
object of this temporary uniting of the shoe K with the lever D is to prevent the
blurring of the impression upon the paper which can only be satisfactorily effected
by the type striking and leaving the paper after making the impression without
the type partaking of the turning movement which it undergoes at other parts of
its stroke.
M is the paper carriage in which the platen M¹ is mounted in the usual manner
so that it may be rotated by hand, for line spacing, by means of the milled head M³,
M3 being the pawl which by engaging with the tooth wheel M offers sufficient
friction to prevent the platen being accidentally rotated. N is the paper guide
pivotted in any convenient manner to the paper carriage as for example on the
spindle N of the roller N2 which is mounted in the frame of the paper carriage so
as to bear with the necessary degree of pressure against the periphery of the
platen M¹.
n is a spring secured at one end to the paper carriage M and at its freq

page_text: end engaged with a pin m of the paper guide N so as to press said guide or the paper
interposed between it and the platen N' against said platen; the upper surface of N
may have engraved or otherwise depicted upon it, the usual scale. mare arms
projecting from the back of the paper carriage M and between which is rigidly
secured the bar M' which is guided in its longitudinal motion in a slotted tube or
guide rigidly connected as by legs O¹ to the back part of the frame P which is
adapted to slide in the direction from back to front of the machine or vice versa, in
guides p secured to the base-plate A as shown most clearly in Fig. 3.
By the provision of a slotted tube such as O for gaiding the paper carriage said
paper carriage is capable of travelling to an extent considerably greater than where
no such guide is provided because no obstacle is presented to the passage of the
arms m' along the slot or longitudinal passage of the guide, consequently were it
not for other obstacles such as the arms S and escapement mechanism the carriage
might readily be slipped end wise off the machine, but should this be necessary for
repairing purposes or in order to replace the paper carriage by a longer or shorter
one, it may readily be effected by detaching the obstructing parts. The slotted
tube O may be made of any desired length and serves equally well to support a
long or short paper carriage either of which may be used quite irrespective of the
general dimensions of the rest of the machine excepting the escapement rack the
Length of which would vary with the length of the paper carriage.
The front part of the frame P has secured to it standards Q on the top of
which is mounted the rail Q' over which travels the roller m² pivotted to the
arm m³ extending downwards from the rod m secured at its ends in the end
plates of the paper carriage M. On the rod m' are adjustably mounted the paper
guides m m the upper end of the latter of which is pointed as shown in Figs. 1
and 3 to serve for indicating the position on the paper at which it is desired that
the bell R should be struck or sounded, the block m' of the paper guide m² for
this purpose being provided with the pivotted bell-trip m and stop pin m² the
former of which by abutting against the arm secured to the spindle of the
bell-hammer causes said hammer to be depressed so that when the trip m passes
beyond the arm the hammer will be immediately raised by the spring
eucircling its spindle and will strike the bell R. The bell-trip m³ is so arranged
that in its return movement on coming into contact with the arm it will be
turned on its pivot to enable it to pass over said arm without operating it.
By reason of the leverage exerted through the bell-trip me and pin m³ the
block m is clamped upon the rod m at the time it is pressed against the
bell-arm for sounding the bell.
At the underside of the paper carriage M is supported, by preferably two
bracket arms S, the escapement rack S₁ which is provided with two sets of teeth
ones at its upper edge and the other s¹ at its lower edge and both facing in the
same direction; or instead of one bar S¹ with two sets of rack teeth formed upon
it, each set of teeth ss may be on a separate bar. The before described plate J
which is guided so that it may freely reciprocate in a vertical direction has secured
to its upper part the dog or knife-edge adapted to engage with the rack teeth s
at each depression of a key-lever or the spacing lever. The plate J has also hinged
to it a bracket or frame carrying at its upper part a dog or knife-edge j³. The
frame is pivotted to J at j and is provided at its lower part with a spring jo
which tends always to throw the bracket and dog or knife-edge j³ away from the
plate J. T is a rod guided in the supporting bracket T' and connected at one end
with the movable knife-edge j³, its other end terminating in a loop or equivalent
handlet so that the knife-edge may be readily pushed into the position shown in
dotted lines in Fig. 3 in which it is out of engagement with the rack s. t is a
collar secured on the rod T for limiting its outward movement by abutting against
the bracket T¹.
To one of the arms S is secured an arm U the downwardly projecting portion
of which (Figs. 2 and 5) serves for the attachment to the carriage M of one end of the .

page_text: flexible band, chain or equivalent u the other end of which is secured to the
barrel U containing the spring by which the carriage is drawn along. This
barrel is mounted on a spindle secured to the adjustable frame P and at its
lower part is provided with the usual ratchet wheel u² with which engages the
pawl for preventing the unwinding of the spring contained in the barrel.
At the front part of the frame P is provided a nut p' integral therewith and into
which is screwed the back end of the rod V which is guided so that it may move
freely in the direction of its length through a bracket or post v secured to or
forming part of the base-plate A. The rod V is encircled by the spring v' which
exerts its pressure between the post v and a collar v² rigidly secured on the front
end of the rod V so as to tend always to draw the frame P forward, a collar ³
adjustable on the rod V serving to limit the extent to which the frame P may be
moved in a forward direction.
To the middle one of the legs or standards supporting the top plate B is
pivotted a bent or bell-crank lever W W' the end of the arm W of which is
provided with a finger-plate w and the end of the arm W₁ of which is pivotted
at to a bar wo which bears against the front of the frame P this bar to being
guided in the block so that it may move freely only in the direction of its
length. To the arm W of lever W W is pivotted the catch arm X which
is provided with say two teeth which are adapted to engage with the shoulder
or face for holding the paper carriage in the proper relative positions necessary
for the printing of one or other of the sets of type-faces as hereinafter
more fully described.
The teeth of arm X are pressed into engagement with the shoulder at
by means of a spring secured on the arm W of lever W W and may be
disengaged from by the operator pressing on the cross-bar.³ secured to the
catch arm X.
'
Y is a frame formed on the end of an arm y rigidly secured to the top plate B
and y' is a rod secured at its lower end to the army and at its upper end passing
through the segmental frame E and screwed and provided with a nut y. The
arrangement of the arm y y¹ y² enables the vertical position of the frame Y to be
adjusted and supports it against depression. The opening in the frame Y is such
as will accommodate the type heads and secure them in position at the moment
of striking the paper as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the gap y3 in one
side of the frame Y is provided for the purpose of enabling the last printed matter
to be readily seen.
appro-
Each type-bar of the before described apparatus is adapted for printing three
letters or symbols for each of which the paper carriage is moved into the
priate position for receiving the particular letter by the operation of the lever WW',
for example when the carriage M is in its rearmost position and the tooth a
engages the shoulder as shown in Fig. 2 the type-face will be that which by
each depression of a key-lever is brought into contact with the platen M' or paper
thereon; if the paper carriage occupies its intermediate position, that is when
the tooth engages the shoulder, then the type-face will be that brought
into position for printing, and when the paper carriage is in its foremost position
when neither of the teeth a engage with then the type-face will be
brought into operation. The three positions, which the lever W W₁ occupies for
causing the shifting of the paper carriage for the printing of either of these sets
of type-faces, are indicated in Fig. 2, one in full lines and the other two in dotted
lines. A convenient arrangement of the type-faces on the type-heads k is that the
type faces should print capitals, the type-faces k² small letters and type-faces k³
numbers, but it will be obvious that any other arrangement of letters or symbols
on the type-heads k may be provided for.
When it is desired to operate the machine the paper is introduced between the
roller N and platen M', the platen is then rotated by means of the milled head M'
in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2 so that the paper passes around

page_text: the platen and between it and the paper guides M³ M°, and when the edge first
introduced is in proper position it is passed beneath the paper guide N which is
drawn back for this purpose in the usual manner.
Supposing now that it is desired to commence with a capital letter, For this
purpose the paper carriage M must occupy its rearmost position as shown in Fig. 2,
the catch arm X and lever W W₁ also occupying the positions shown in full lines
in that figure. The necessary key-lever for imprinting the required capital is
then depressed and the type-face will be brought on to the paper for imprinting
that letter, and so on, should it be required to continue with the printing of capital
letters the necessary key-levers are depressed in proper succession while the arm W
of lever W W still occupies its lowest position.
Should it now be desired to print with small letters, it will be necessary to
depress the catch arm X by means of the cross-bar to disengage from 21 and
allow the arm W of lever W W to be raised by the pressure of the spring
until by the spring a the tooth a¹ of arm X is engaged with a, at which juncture
the paper carriage will be in its intermediate position having been drawn into that
position from its rearmost position by the spring v. In this intermediate position
the centre of the platen M is directly beneath the point at which the type-faces k
meet it so that these type-faces only print upon the paper, the type-faces and k³
standing away free from the paper on either side of the point of contact of the
type-face with the paper.
Should it now be desired to print with numbers the catch arm X is again
depressed so as to disengage from * and the arm W of lever W W' is allowed
to assume its highest position the spring while moving it to this position also
drawing the paper carriage M into its foremost position, so that the centre of the
platen is brought immediately beneath the point at which the type-face strikes
the paper the result being that only the symbol depicted on this type-face will be
printed on the paper, the other two type-faces standing clear of the paper.
At each operation of a key-lever the appropriate type-head and shoe K are
moved from the position which they relatively occupy to the type lever D shown
in full lines in Fig. 2, to that shown in dotted lines at the part where it strikes the
paper, an intermediate point of this reversal of position being shown also in dotted
lines in Fig. 2. When the type head is in the position shown in full lines in
Fig. 2, the type-faces kk k³ receive from the pad e¹ the necessary ink for printing
and it will be seen that whereas in this position the type-faces k¹ k³ k³ are turned
away from the platen M' yet by the link L the shoe K, during the descent of the
type-lever D, is caused to turn upon the pivot so that the type-faces are gradually
turned over to the descending side of the type-lever D and are in proper printing
position when the type-lever D is at or nearly at the lowest point of the stroke.
If the before described arrangement of type-levers and movable heads is
employed in a machine wherein the printing is effected at the underside of the
platen the shoes K will be turned to the ascending side of the type-levers during
their movement towards the printing position.
At
At each descent of a key-lever or upon the spacing lever G2 being depressed the
anchor 1 is also depressed, this resulting also in the depression of the plate J.
each depression of the plate J the spring-controlled dog or knife-edge is lowered
out of engagement with the rack teeth and the fixed dog or knife edge j¹ is
lowered into engagement with the rack teeth s. Immediately upon the release of
the knife edge from s', the said knife-edge is forced by its spring to assume
the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, so that when the key lever For
spacing lever G is next released and raised by its appropriate spring H and the
anchor I and plate J are raised by their spring, the knife-edge which before
its last descent was in engagement with one tooth, will engage with the next tooth,
the carriage being drawn forward by the spring in barrel U to the extent of the
width of this tooth until it is stopped by the knife-edge abutting against the
plate J. The width of each tooth corresponds with the amount of movement to
be imparted to the carriage for each symbol.

page_text: Should it be desired to move the carriage towards one or other side of the
machine without printing or resorting to the use of the spacing lever G³ this may
be speedily effected by pushing the handle in the direction indicated by the
arrow in Fig. 3 which will have the effect of pushing the dog or knife-edge into
the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 when it will be quite clear of the rack
teeth and the knife edge ¹ being in its raised position and consequently out of
engagement with the rack teeth the carriage may be moved freely in either
direction.
For line spacing the platen is turned to the required extent by means of the
milled head M2 as will be well understood.
The before described apparatus may be modified without departing from the
spirit of the invention, for example, as will be obvious the type-heads instead
of having three letters upon them may each be provided with more or less than
that number, the frame 1' and paper carriage M being adjustable to a corresponding
number of positions. The type-heads may moreover be pivotted directly to the
type-levers D instead of through the shoes K as before described the links Lin
this example being directly pivotted to the type-heads. Further, if desired the
slotted tube or carriage guide O may be secured to the paper carriage and the
rod Ms to the frame P.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
