- REELVI.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 533,868, dated February 12, 1895.
Application filed August 7, 1 8 94.
- chine or detaching it therefrom, the ink is very apt to come off and soil the fingers.
My invention consists in an attachment or appliance for typewriter machines, by means of which a new ribbon may be easily placed upon the machine or a ribbon unwound therefrom and placed in a box or other receptacle for preservation if desired. 7
My inventionwill be understood by reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a device embodying my invention, Figs. 2 and 3 being sections showing the bearing in which the reel is mounted. Fig. 4 is a plan showing the reel in its bearings. .Figs. 5'and 6 are two views of the reel. Fig. 7 is a section of a box invented by me to be used with my reel, Fig. 8 being a top view and Fig. 9 an under view of its cover. Fig. 10 shows the reel and cover in co-operation. Figs. 11,12 and 13 show corresponding views-of a similar box, oval in shape and also of my invention;
A is an arm, which may be provided at one end with a screw clamp B, by means of which it may be attached to some portion of the typewriter, so that it may be removed, if de sired. At the farther end of the arm A is a cross arm 0 and two uprights O, C forming a yoke in which are bearings c, c to hold the reel.
D is the reel. It .is journaled in the bearings c, c and is turned therein by the crank d. From one side of the shaft of this reel projects a finger E which is turned to lie parallel with the shaft D. These two parts D and E are sufficiently far apart to allow the ribbon to be slipped between them. The reel is then turned and the ribbon is Wound thereon rapidly without trouble, the spreading sides of the upright G, 0 serving to guide the ribbon somewhat as it is wound. Thus, the ribbon can be easily attached to the reel 'ively. spring will expand again and will then draw and wound upon with great rapidity and Serial No. 519,669. I (No model.)
almost no handling and readily slipped off, if desired.
To keep my reel in place in its bearings I prefer to make the entrance to the bearings smaller than the diameter of the axis of the reel, as'will be seen at c 0 Figs. 2 and 3, and
in order to slip the reel into place I notch it as shown at d, (1 so that these notches may slide easily down into the bearings. When the reel is in the bearings it may be pushed endwise so that its notches will be outside of the bearings, as shown in Fig. 1 and the reel will turn easily.
A simple means of holding thereel in place and keeping it from moving endwise in the bearin gs when once in place is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. It consists of the leaf spring F, which is fastened to one of the uprights C and is slotted as shown atfso as to engage with the narrow groove d in the reel shaft. This groove 'd is so near to groove (1 onthe reel that in order to get the reel into place the spring F must be compressed near enough to the upright G to allow the .slotsfand c to engage with the grooves d and d respect- When the reel is in its bearings the the reel into place and hold it in place moving endwise.
-I prefer to usemy reel in connection with a box of some sort to contain the ribbon, and
I have shown in Figs. 7 to 13 two forms of boxes of my invention, which are useful for this purpose. A box for this purpose may be of any desired shape into which the ribbon is to be wound, or unwound therefrom, for example round, oval or square, &c., and in order to place the ribbon in the box or to take it easily therefrom, I prefer to provide such a box with a cover G, peculiar in construction, in that it has projecting from its inner side two tubes H and H, each tube corresponding with a hole in the cover. The tube H is at the center of the cover and tube H is close to it; the two tubes forming a ribbon winder and being adapted to receive the two parts D E of the reel and to have the ribbon wound upon them in the same manner as has been described with the reel. These parts being'passed through the cover and into the tubes the cover is removed, and as the ribbon is wound upon these tubes it is removed with the cover and the entire device is placed in the bearings so that the ribbon can be easily unwound therefrom; or if on the other hand it is desired to remove a ribbon from the machine in order to put it into a box, the cover is first placed upon the reel and the ribbon caught between the two tubes instead of between the two parts of the reel. I prefer to use one or both of these tubes as the best and most convenient way of placing the ribbon within its box, or removing it therefrom; but so far as I know, a reel and box have never before been made to be used together and yet separable, and this I believe to be my invention.
When the box is any other shape than round, for example where it is oval, the top should be provided with wings It so as to make the spool of proper shape on which the ribbon shall be wound, and when desired, a pin it may be provided in the bottom of the box to set into and center the middle tube H. The
simplicity of this contrivance will be easily seen. The reel and its frame may be cast at but little expense. The boxes for this purpose are best made of metal in order to so preserve the ribbon as to prevent evaporation or absorption of the ink.
Instead of using a clamp B to connect the arm A with the typewriter, the device may be permanently attached thereto by some other means deemed best to make it a stationary part of the machine.
What I claim asmy invention is 1. The reeling mechanism above described consisting of a reel and a yoke, the arms of which are slotted as shown, the end of each slot being enlarged to form a bearing for said reel, and the Width of said slots being narrower than the diameter of the reel, the shaft of said reel having notches in its periphery of a depth and location to correspond with said slots, as set forth.
2. In a reeling mechanism in combination said reel being adapted to be inserted through i said apertures and to be free to be removed therefrom, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
4. In combination with a reel adapted to be mounted in suitable bearings, the ribbon box above described having one or more tubes attached to its cover as and for the purposes set forth.
5. The ribbon box above described, the cover to which is provided with a h ole adapted to receive the shaft of a reel and having a tube forming a continuation of said hole and adapted to serve as a winder for a ribbon, as
set forth.
6. In a ribbon box of the kind described, a cover provided with one or more tubes attached thereto in the manner described to receive a reel and having wings projecting therefrom, as set forth.
7. In a reeling mechanism, in combination, a yoke, the arms of which are slotted and form bearings for a reel, 2. reel adapted to move longitudinally therein and a leaf spring fastened to one of the arms of said yoke and lying parallel thereto, said leaf spring being slotted and adapted to engage with the grooved portion of said reel, all as set forth.
