TYPE BAR E03 TYPE-WRITIIVG MACHINES.

To eltwhom it may) v v Be itknown that I, ApeUs'rSoHNneLocH,

by declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art. to

which it appertains-to make-and use the same. V v

My invention relates a typewriting'machine, means for supporting the bars, and a line ruling mechanism arranged thereon.

- thereon. "Figs. III and I My invention '1 portion of the machine showing thesegment and means for supportin the type-bars are respectively side elevation and top plan of the line 'ruling mechanism. 1 Fi V is a horizontal cross section on line V\7 of Fig. II, showing one of the hangers arranged in one of the radial grooves.

In the figures, 1 indicates the main frame, 2 a key lever supported on bracket j, carrying link 12 connected by link 4 to the tail of type-bar 3, pivoted at A to the type-bar hanger 1'90 whereby it is swung into printing position as clearly shown in dotted lines Fig. I. ,The type-bar is provided with integral stop 197 arranged to engage with seg ment face 198 immediatelyafter the type strikes the platen to prevent making too heavy an impression.

13 is the rear bar grooved for balls 23.

2 1 are the carriage side pieces having rear brackets 30 and platen rod'brackets 10, in which is journaled the platenrod 45, carrying the swinging arms 41, supporting platen 186 having bushings 33.

--37 is the spring barrel carrying gear 98 engaging with carriage rack 128. To segment bracket 17 5, by screws 18?, is secured the segment 188, having radial guiding grooves 189, to which are fitted the type-bar 192 the alinementof each type-bar is ad- I Specification of Letters Patent. I

Application filed October 9, 1902. Serial No. 126,603.

I to the type-bars of s shown in the drawing .j' herewith, in which. a

' Figure I is a vertical longitudinal section of a typewriting machine, showing the construction and arrangement of parts of my invention. Fig. II is a front elevation of a -justed 'byloosening the screw and moving 4 the hanger up and down in the groove. The type-bar ends 193 are arranged at an angle to their type-bars, so that when the type-bar is in printing position, as shown in Fig. II, 'its type will be in a vertical position and maintained positively therein by the en gagement of the type-bar end with recess in the guide 196 at the top of vertical arm 207-.the radial grooves being centered on point 195. The type-bar end is extended forming the elongation or tail 194, so that when it engages with the slotted guide there is a long guiding bearing extending below the center 195 toward the fulcrum of the typebar,'ins'uring a positive guide and a steady'impression on the platen.

To the end of any suitable typebar is secured the specially formed type-bar end or block 199, having the cross slots 200 and 201, in which are journaled the ruling rollers 202 and 203; 204: is an inking pad therefor. Evidently the edges of these rollers can be notched regularly or irregularly to make a dotted or spaced line. When thc'key lever is depressed and the type-bar thrown for ward against the platen, the roller 202 will stand in a horizontal position, so that-it will rule a horizontal line when the operator slides the carriage to the right or the left. This horizontal roller 202 prints on the lower case and the vertical roller 203 'on thoupper.case,.so. that when the latter is held against the platen it will print a vertical line by turning the platen, backward or forward by its knobs 205.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let- Patented Mar. 1, '1910.

key-lever and connections between the typebar and the key-lever whereby the type-bar is operated and one of the rollers brought into contact with the paper respectively in upper and lower caseposltion.

2. In atypewriting machine, means for sustaining and guiding the type-bars, having in combination a vertical segment secured to the front of the machine and formed with radial grooves, a series of hangers secured in the grooves, type-bars journaled on the hangers, type-bar ends having continuous extensions and arranged at an angle to the'type-bar, a vertical guide re cessed on its top to receive said ends and extensions and an integral stop on the typebar to engage With the front vertical face of the segment immediately after the type has made an impression to prevent too heavy an impression.

v 3. In a typewriting machine, the combination with a type-bar suitably hung of a seems block secured on the type-bar end, said block being slotted and having a recess below the slot,'an inking. roller journaled in the slot,

an ink pad arranged in the recess in contact 'with the roller edge, a key-lever and connections between the'type-bar and key-lever whereby the type-bar is' operated to bring the rollers into operative position.

In testimon whereof I aiiix my signature in presence 0 two witnesses.

e AUGUST SCHNEELOCH.
