UNITED STATES WALTER H. GERWIG OF PAR-KERSBURG, IVES! VIRGIN IA- SECURING MEANS FOR TYZPEW'RITERS.
Application filed July 9,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, IVALTER H. GERWIG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Parkersburg, in the county of Wood and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Securing Means for Typewriters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to attaching means for typewriters or the like, and more particularly to means for securing a typewriter to the working surface of a folding desk.
As is well known to those familiar with this subject, many typewriter desks are constructed with a depressed work portion or platform which is adapted to have a rearward and backward movement with respect to the top surface of the desk when the cover is moved over into place. Heretofore it has been customary to secure the typewriter to this platform by means of hooks or screws passing up through the surface thereof into the legs of the typewriter or over the side portions of the frame. This involves a considerable amount of trouble when it is desired to remove the typewriter from the desk and also a needless amount of expense in providing the attaching instrumentalities and in assembling them in place. It is, therefore, one of the objects of the present invention to avoid the above objections and to provide a simple and practical means particularly adapted for securing a typewriter or the like to its platform and prevent displacement thereof when the desk is closed and the platform is given its rearward and downward movement.
A further object is to provide a strong, durable and reliable attaching means of the above general character which may be easily and quickly applied and requires no special skill or tools in assembly.
Other objects will be in part obvious and in part hereinafter pointed in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawings showing two of the various possible embodiments of the invention. In these drawings, where similar reference characters denote corresponding parts Figure 1 is a sectional perspective View of such parts of the typewriter, desk and at- 1924. Serial No. 725,029.
taching means as are necessary to understand the invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view showing the working support and typewriter in tilted position;
Figure 3 is a plan view of one form of the attaching means; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a modification.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, 5 designates the working surface or platform of a folding typewriter desk of the usual and well known tilting-top style. To this is secured the typewriter indicated at 6 which typewriter is provided with the usual keys 7, space bar 8 and front frame bar 10. In order to secure the typewriter to the table or desk there is provided a strap 11 provided with a ring or tuck-loop 12 at one end and an eye or buttonhole 13 at its opposite end cooperating with the eye or buttonhole and constituting any desired type of securing means is a screw or stud 14, as indicated in Figures 1 and 2. The parts may be easily and quickly assembled by simply passing the strap over the front bar 10 of the typewriter when the same is in the position desired by the operator inserting the free end through the loop 12 and down over the edge of the platform 5 and attaching it by the stud 14 to the underside of the platform, as clearly shown in Figure 1.
A cotton webbing or other suitable material instead of the leather strap might also be advantageously used and such would not constitute a departure from my invention.
In Figure 4: a similar type of attaching means is shown which is ,preferably made of relatively strong sheet metal, that is, there is a body portion 15 corresponding to the strap 11, a curved end 16 adapted to hook over the front bar 10, while the opposite end is hooked, as indicated at 17 and co-acts with the front edge of the work platform 5. An opening 18 may be provided for a stud to prevent lateral movement, if desired. One or more of these fastening means may be applied to the typewriter, as may be found necessary.
It will thus be seen that the present invention contemplates a simple and practical attaching means for typewriters which may be :1 body portion, one end of which is curved inexpensively manufactured, easily and to pass over the front bar of the typewriter, i0 quickly assembled and applied to the typeand the opposite end of which is return bent Writer and Work support Without any special whereby it is adapted to pass around and skill or tool. enact With the front edge of the said support.
