I v INVENTOR E HARRY LA 5% ATTDRNEYS United; tates fi ment 3,021,936 TYPE ACTIUN Harry L. Lambert, West Hartford, Conn, assignor to Royal Mclilee Corporation, Port Chester, N. Y., a corporation of New York Filed Dec. 28, 196i), Ser. No. 78,90? 7 Claims. (Cl. 197-17) this invention relates to a novel type action for electric typewriters and more particularly relates to an improved reset arrangement for a power roll engaging pawl or roll cam which is biased towards a power roll engaging position but which is normally held in a latched position away from a power roll engaged condition.
In type actions where a spring biased member must be reset after the initiation of an operative stroke of the action it is most common to utilize the kinetic energy of the driven parts to elfect the resetting operation. Although this resetting action may be reliable it has a disadvantage in that it subtracts varying amounts of kinetic energy from the moving type bar linkage and such will affect the intensity of print produced by the successive typing operations. This condition becomes significant when it is one of only a relatively low number of variables affecting the uniformity of successive type bar speeds.
One object of the instant invention is to provide a novel type action for electric typewriters whereby little, if any, of the energy necessary to reset the power roll engaging pawl to a latched condition is derived from the kinetic energy of the driven parts of the type action.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel type action for electric typewriters whereby at least a portion of the energy required to reset the power roll engaging pawl is supplied directly from the rotating power roll of the typewriter.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel type action for electric typewriters whereby two power roll engaging members sequentially engage said roll during each driving stroke of said action, engagement of the first member serving to cause a driving of the type bar linkage by the power roll and the subsequent engagement of the other member serving to cause a resetting said first member to an inoperative latched condition.
Another object of the inveniton is to provide a novel type action whereby a power assist is provided for resetting tlie power roll engaging pawl to a latched condition.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel type action for electric typewriters whereby the power roll engaging pawl is positively driven to an inoperative, relatched condition by the direct driving action of the rotating power roll of the typewriter.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which like reference umerals designate like parts throughout the figures thereof and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view in partial section and shows the normal condition of the parts of the instant type action.
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view taken along section line 2-2 of FIGURE 1.
FIGURES 3 and 4 are active views of the apparatus illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 5 is a side elevational view in partial section and shows a modified embodiment of the instant invention.
Unless otherwise indicated it will be assumed that the various parts shown and described are suitably supported and arranged on the machine frame.
Referring to FIGURE 1 there is shown a type action inc comprising a sub lever 15) which is pivotally mounted on a cross shaft 11. The sub lever is articulately connected to the rearward end of an action plate 12 that has an upper forward end 13 that slidably moves in a slot 14 formed in the upper part of a comb 15 secured to the typewriter frame member 16. The lower forward end 2i? of the action plate slidably moves in a slot 21 formed in the lower part of said comb 15, said end 29 being formed with two cooperating and laterally bent-off fingers 22. and 23 which respectivelyslidably engage the upper and lower adjacent surfaces of the said lower part of comb 15 as illustrated in FIGURE 2 thereby permitting only a rectilinear horizontal sliding movement of the forward end of the action plate 12. Pivotally mounted on the action plate is a pawl 24 having a tooth 25 formed thereon which is adapted to swing into operative driving engagement with a rotatably driven power roll 26. The pawl 24 is rotationally biased towards the power roll by means or a spring 27 which is connected between said pawl and a latch 38 that is pivotally mounted on the action plate by means of a stud 31; The rearward end of the latch is formed with a bent off hook 32 which normally engages the rearward edge 33 of the pawl so as to maintain said pawl in a latched or inoperative position away from the power roll as illustrated in FIGURE 1. The forward end of the latch lid is formed with a bent-off shelf 34 which extends through an aperture 35 formed in the action plate. Disposed immediately above shelf 34 is a lower end 36 of a bypass or non repeat dog 37 which is pivotally mounted on a key controlled lever 48'. The dog 37 is biased by a spring 41 towards a normal clockwise position determined by engagement of a dog car 42 with the ad jacent bent over shoulder 43 formed on the key controlled lever 40.
A reset lever 44 is pivotally mounted on action plate 12 by means of a stud 45. The rearward end of the reset lever is formed with an inclined camming edge 46 while the forward end thereof is formed with bent- olf cars 47 and 48 the lower edge of ear 48 normally overlying the upper edge of a forward extending portion 5b of the said pawl 24.
In operation when the type bar associated with the sub lever 10 is to be actuated, the related key controlled lever 40 is operated so that the by-pass or non-repeat dog 37 swings downwardly thereby engaging the shelf 34 of latch 30 and pivoting the latter in a counter clockwise direction against the action of spring 27. When the hooked end 32 of the latch moves out of restraining relation with respect to the rearward pawl edge 33 the pawl 24 will swing in a clockwise direction into operative driving engagement with the teeth of the rotating power roll 26 as illustrated in FIGURE 3. In its engaged FIGURE 3 position the pawl 24 through its projection 59 will maintain the reset lever 44 in a clockwise position. After engagement of the pawl and power roll the action plate 1.2 will be driven to the left in a tangential path with respect to the power roll as shown in FIGURE 4 so as to drive the associated type bar towards the typewriter v platen. During the latter part of the said leftward movement of the action plate 12 the pawl will move out of engagement with the power roll and the inclined cam edge 46 of the reset lever will thereafter engage the outer tips of the counter clockwise moving power roll teeth as illustrated in FIGURE 4 so that the reset lever 44 is then cammed in a counter clockwise direction in response to the continued leftward movement of the action plate. This counter clockwise movement of the reset lever will, through the bent off ear 48, serve to swing the pawl 24 in a counter clockwise direction back into latched relation with the hooked end 32 of the latch 30 as illustrated in FIGURE 4. After the power driven printing stroke has been completed the type bar actuating linkage is restored to its normal FIGURE 1 position by means of the usual return spring means. The operative counter clockwise movement of the reset lever is power assisted by the frictional contact between the tips of the counter clockwise moving power roll teeth and the reset lever camming edge 46. Thus the energy required to swing the pawl back to the FIGURE 1 latched condition is supplied by a combination of the linear inertial effects of the leftwardly moving action plate 12 and the frictional effects between the camming edge 46 and the moving power roll teeth. In this manner a power assist directly from the power roll is provided for the resetting of the pawl 24 and such substantially decreases the amount of kinetic energy which must be subtracted from the driven type bar actuating linkage for pawl resetting purposes. As a result the fluctuation in the intensity of print of the instant type action is decreased thereby improving the uniformity of shade and appearance of the typed characters.
FIGURE 5 shows another embodiment of the instant invention; here the parts are constructed and operated in a manner similar to that described in connection with FIGURE 1 except that instead of providing a pivotally mounted reset lever, such as 44 of FXGURE 1, a reset arm 51. is fastened to the pawl 24, said arm being slightly flexible and having a tooth-like portion 52 formed at the rearward free end thereof. During the power driven stroke of the action plate about the same time that the pawl becomes disengaged from the power roll the toothlike portion 52 will be engaged by one of the power roll teeth and the latter will thereafter positively lift the slightly yielding arm 51 so that the pawl is again reset or moved to its latched position shown in FIGURE 5. In this reset action substantially all of the energy required for resetting the pawl 24 is derived directly from the power roll and hence there is little if any depletion of the kinetic energy of the driven type bar actuating linkage for pawl relatching purposes. This condition will further improve the freedom and predictability of movement of the associated type bar and such in turn will improve the printing characteristics of the type action.
In addition to the above noted advantages gained by power resetting the pawl latch 3% in the manner described, the further benefit of greatly improved reliability has been found to flow from restricting the forward end of the action plate 12 to the rectilinear path of movement described.
While several embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous variations and modifications may be made in the particular construction without departing from the underlying principles of the invention.
