- the carriage-retarding mechanism or apparatus in which the inventionis embodied is attached to the top plate of the machine near its rear edge and on. the right, preferably, of a vertical plane containing the axis of the escapement pinion.
- the frame of the machine is composed of the base 1 and four posts 2, onlythree of which are shown,
- a carriage 10 in which is mounted a platen 11, has formed on it grooved guides 12 and 13, which extend from end to end of the carriage, the grooves 1 1 and 15 of these guides forming with the grooves 8 and 9 of the rails 5 and 6, ball or roller channels in which are shown antifriction balls 16 and 17.
- the carriage is thus supported by the rails '5 and 6 and is movable on the balls in opposite directions over the top plate 3.
- the guides 12 and 13 are connected together by webs 18, and between these guides extend arms 19 which are pivotedzto the ends of the carriage, and
- Thei rack 20 normally engages a' pinion 23 which is fast on ashaft having a bearing in a bracket '24, affixed to the top plate 3, and on the rear'end of this shaft is an escapenient wheel 25, arranged to co-act with the feed dogs 26 a'nd27 (shown mainly in dotted lines in Fig. 2) which a're mounted on a dog 'rocker' 28, whose rockshaft 29 is pivoted atits ends between lugs on a bracket 30 affixed to andextendin'g downward from the top plate 3.
- a spring 31 which tends to keep the stepping dog 27 in engagement with the tooth 'of the escapement wheel 25.
- An arm 32 fast on the dog rocker, extends in fronttof the rock shaft 29, and to the front end of this arm is secured a link 33 which extends downward therefrom to the universal-bar of the machine.
- the universal bar is actuated by depressing a character-key or the space-key, the front end of the arm 32 is drawn.
- the stepping dog 27 is swung forward free from the escapement wvhe'el, and the holding dog 26 is moved into engagement with the escapement wheel, and when the universal bar rises after the key has been released, the stepping dog 27 reengages with the escapement wheel and the carriage advances a letter-space distance; But if desired, a reverse-feed escapement may be'used instead of that above described;
- a stop bar 35 is journaled at its ends.
- a crank arm 36 On the right end of this stop bar, outside of the adjacent bracket 34, is a crank arm 36 which normally extends forward and upward from the stop bar and to which is pivoted at its front end a rod or link 37, which extends downward from thecrank-arm, through the the collar and rod.
- the stop bar 35 has cut top'plate and into the base 1 of the machine.
- a collar 43 which is fast on the rod.
- the collar 38 is so attached to the rod 37 that the projection 39 of the collar extends forward from position 1n which it is ordinarily held by the V upward pressure of the spring 42 against the collar 38 on the rod 37
- a stop 47 which is rigidly attached to the back of the carriage 10 about midway between the ends of the carriage, extends backward nearly to the stop bar 35, its rear end being out of alinement with the lugs 46 of the tabulator stops when the stop bar is in its normal position and then being movable by the carriage past the stops 45 and under the lugs 46.
- the rod 37 is pivoted at its lower end to a lever 48, whose fulcrum is a screw 49 passing through its front end and into a boss 50 formed on the frame of the machine.
- a lever 48 On this lever is an upwardly extending ear 51 in which is a slot. 52.
- a key lever 53 having on it a tabulator key 54, is pivoted at its rear end by a screw 55 to a lug 56 formed on the under side of the roof 41 of the base and extending downward therefrom, there being behind this lug a coil-spring 57 bearing against the key-lever and the part 41 of the base and tending to keep the key-lever in its normal position in contact with the pad 58 near its front end.
- a pin 59 fixed on the key-lever 53 extends through the slot. 52 in the car 51 of the lever 48. The construction is such that when the key 54 is depressed the rear end of the lever 48 is forced downward and the link 37 rocks the bar 35, bringing the lugs 46 into the path of the stop
- a lever having arms (30-431 is pivoted by a shouldered screw 62 to a lug (33 on the under side of the top-plate 3, and on the screw 62 is a coil spring (54 which bears at one of its ends against the lug 63 and at its other end against.
- the lower edge of the arm of the lever, this arm of the lever extending in front of the rod 37 and under the projection 39 of the collar 38, and having on its upper edge a stop 65 which makes contact with the under side of the top-plate when the lever is in its normal position, where the spring (it tends to keep it.
- a lever substantially the same as this has been used in the h [onarch machine to actuate a rack-lifting device, operative to raise the carriage-rack out of engagement with the escapement-pinion, and thus to release the car *iage from the control of the escapement. Since, however, a part of the carriage-retarding mechanism herein shown is operative through the lever 60-431 to lift the carriage rack from the pinion 23, the lifting device heretofore employed is not necessary in a machine provided with this carriage-retarding mechanism.
- the retarding-meclianism comprises a rotary device and a coiiperative device or set of devices, which are preferably constructed and arranged as they are shown herein, although it is apparent that for these particular devices modifications thereof might be adopted.
- the rotary device shown is arranged to be actuated by the carriage.
- a tubular shaft-carrier 66 on the rear end of which is a round plate 67 and on which are formed bosses 68, the plate 67 being the front end of a case 69, is pivoted by shouldered screws 70 to and between the sides 71 of a support whose base 72 rests on the top plate 3 and is attached thereto by a screw 73, the screws 70 extending into the bosses 68, and the shaft carrier and case being movable on the axis which coincides with the axes of the screws 7 O.
- the rotary device is preferably'a cam 81 having three wings 82.
- This cam is fast on the shaft 79 within the case 69, the shaft extending through the cam, which fits loosely between the plate 67 and the back of the case and is fastened to the shaft by a pin 83.
- a set of oscillating devices, which are jointly cooperative with this rotary device, is shown pivotally mounted on a shouldered screw-pin 84 secured in and projecting from the plate 67, these devices being within the case 69 and their pivotal axis being parallel to that of the shaft 79.
- Each of these devices is flat and is composed of a perforated part 85 through which the pin 84 passes and on which are branches 86 and 87, the devices being arranged face to face as shown and being confined loosely.
- each of these oscillating devices has the inner curved surface 88 facing the cam 81, while each branch 86 has a substantially plane surface 89 and a curved surface 90, and each branch 87 has a substantially plane surface 91 and a curved surface 92, the devices being so arranged with respect to the cam 81 that each wing of the cam, v.
- the shaft 79 is turned around once, makes contact with all of the surfaces 88, 89, 90, 91 and 92, and that not less than two of the wings of the cam are ever in con tact with the oscillatingdevices, and that sometimes all. of the wings are in contact with those devices.
- the retarding effect produced on the cam by several coiirdinate oscillating devices should be too great, one or more of the devices or units may be removed from the pin 84, and obviously more than four such devices might be arranged to co-act with a cam as do the oscillating devices herein shown and described. Moreover, the retarding effect of these devices, or of any number of such devices, may be increased by means of a spring 93, secured in a slotted post 94, and bearing on the arms 86 and 87 of the devices mounted on the pin 84 as appears by Fig. 9.
- the post 94 is fixed in the plate 67, and in the case 69 are set screws 95 for regulating the pressure of the spring 011 the arms 86 and 87
- the spring preferably so bears on the arms 86 and 87 that it will be forced to yield both when the arms are raised and when they are depressed by the cam.
- the machine contains a spring drum 96 which is connected by a strap 97 with a stud 98 affixed to and extending below the carriage, so that when the escapement is actuated, or the carriage rack is raised out of engagement with the pinion 23, the carriage will be moved toward the left by the action on it of the spring-drum and strap.
- the cam 81 is actuated as described, the pivoted devices 858687 are oscillated by the action of the wings of the cam on the branches 86 and 87, part of the energy of the carriage-spring being consumed both in moving the pivoted devices, or these devices combined with the spring 93, and in suddenly changing the direction of their motion. Consequently the carriage is retarded, and its speed may be regulated to the desired extent by increasing or diminishing the number of pivoted devices, or the pressure of the spring 93 on their arms 86 and 87.
- the carriage may be so retarded, whatever distance it may travel free from the control of the escapementmechanism, as to prevent the machine from being injured and to render the shock and 7 noise slight when the carriage is arrested by tabulator-stops or other similar means.
- carriage-retarding mechanism or like expressions used in the claims are to be understood as referring to devices having the general purpose of the carriageretarding mechanism set forth in the present case, as distinguished from escapement devices for controlling the step-by-step feed of the carriage.
- a typewriting machine provided with carriage-retarding mechanism comprising the combination of a rotary device, and a cooperative device movable to and fro by said rotary device, said cooperative device having surfaces between which said rotary device extends and with which it makes contact and which are cut transversely by a plane containing the axis of said rotary device.

Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 7, 1909.
Application filed. March as, 1906. Serial No. 308,600.
To all whom 'it man concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT. HJSTEELE,
citizen of the UnitedStates, and resident of Syracuse, inrthe county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type- Writing Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in:
carriage retarding devices for typewriting machines, and consists of the features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which are'heremafter described and specified 1n the claims.
In the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals designate like parts in different v ews, Figure -1 1s a rear and sectional elevation of the frame and parts of from the left side'of themachine; Fig. 4: a; plan of a fragment of the top plate'and a; sectional plan of parts ofthe carriage.retarding mechanism; Figs. 5, 6, 7 and S are crosssections of the case shown'in Fig. 4:and end views of the mechanism contained in said case, illustrating the actionof this mechanism; and Fig. 9, a cross-section of the case and an end View of mechanism similar to that shown in Figs. 3 et seq. to '8 inclusive, with the addition of a spring.
Although the drawings illustrate this invention applied to a Monarch machine, it is to be understood that it is also applicable to numerous other machines, including such as are called under-stroke machines,as well as visible-writing machines.
The carriage-retarding mechanism or apparatus in which the inventionis embodied is attached to the top plate of the machine near its rear edge and on. the right, preferably, of a vertical plane containing the axis of the escapement pinion. The frame of the machine is composed of the base 1 and four posts 2, onlythree of which are shown,
and thetop plate 3. On the back part of the top plate are two standards 4:, which are fastened to the top plate and to which upper and lower guide rails 5 'and 6 are attached by screws 7 these guide rails having in them grooves 8 and 9'extending throughout the length of the rails. A carriage 10, in which is mounted a platen 11, has formed on it grooved guides 12 and 13, which extend from end to end of the carriage, the grooves 1 1 and 15 of these guides forming with the grooves 8 and 9 of the rails 5 and 6, ball or roller channels in which are shown antifriction balls 16 and 17. The carriage is thus supported by the rails '5 and 6 and is movable on the balls in opposite directions over the top plate 3. The guides 12 and 13 are connected together by webs 18, and between these guides extend arms 19 which are pivotedzto the ends of the carriage, and
to whose rear ends are affixed the carriage rack 20 which is movable up and down on the pivots 21 of the arms'19. Springs 22,
acting onthe arms of the'rack, tend to keep the rack in the position in which it is shown in Fig; 2, that being its normal position.
' Thei rack 20 normally engages a' pinion 23 which is fast on ashaft having a bearing in a bracket '24, affixed to the top plate 3, and on the rear'end of this shaft is an escapenient wheel 25, arranged to co-act with the feed dogs 26 a'nd27 (shown mainly in dotted lines in Fig. 2) which a're mounted on a dog 'rocker' 28, whose rockshaft 29 is pivoted atits ends between lugs on a bracket 30 affixed to andextendin'g downward from the top plate 3. on the rock shaft 29 is a spring 31 which tends to keep the stepping dog 27 in engagement with the tooth 'of the escapement wheel 25. An arm 32, fast on the dog rocker, extends in fronttof the rock shaft 29, and to the front end of this arm is secured a link 33 which extends downward therefrom to the universal-bar of the machine. Whenever the universal bar is actuated by depressing a character-key or the space-key, the front end of the arm 32 is drawn. downward by the link 33, the stepping dog 27 is swung forward free from the escapement wvhe'el, and the holding dog 26 is moved into engagement with the escapement wheel, and when the universal bar rises after the key has been released, the stepping dog 27 reengages with the escapement wheel and the carriage advances a letter-space distance; But if desired, a reverse-feed escapement may be'used instead of that above described;
To the standards 4 are rigidly attached rearwardly extending arms 34, in which a stop bar 35 is journaled at its ends. On the right end of this stop bar, outside of the adjacent bracket 34, is a crank arm 36 which normally extends forward and upward from the stop bar and to which is pivoted at its front end a rod or link 37, which extends downward from thecrank-arm, through the the collar and rod. The stop bar 35 has cut top'plate and into the base 1 of the machine. A collar 38, having on. it a projection 39, is
fastened by ascrew 40 to the rod 37, and 011 the rod 37 between the collar 38 and the part 41 of the base, is a coiled spring 42 which presses upward against the collar, and
on the rod'37 above the top plate 3 is a collar 43 which is fast on the rod. The collar 38 is so attached to the rod 37 that the projection 39 of the collar extends forward from position 1n which it is ordinarily held by the V upward pressure of the spring 42 against the collar 38 on the rod 37 A stop 47, which is rigidly attached to the back of the carriage 10 about midway between the ends of the carriage, extends backward nearly to the stop bar 35, its rear end being out of alinement with the lugs 46 of the tabulator stops when the stop bar is in its normal position and then being movable by the carriage past the stops 45 and under the lugs 46.
The rod 37 is pivoted at its lower end to a lever 48, whose fulcrum is a screw 49 passing through its front end and into a boss 50 formed on the frame of the machine. On this lever is an upwardly extending ear 51 in which is a slot. 52. A key lever 53, having on it a tabulator key 54, is pivoted at its rear end bya screw 55 to a lug 56 formed on the under side of the roof 41 of the base and extending downward therefrom, there being behind this lug a coil-spring 57 bearing against the key-lever and the part 41 of the base and tending to keep the key-lever in its normal position in contact with the pad 58 near its front end. A pin 59 fixed on the key-lever 53 extends through the slot. 52 in the car 51 of the lever 48. The construction is such that when the key 54 is depressed the rear end of the lever 48 is forced downward and the link 37 rocks the bar 35, bringing the lugs 46 into the path of the stop 47.
A lever having arms (30-431 is pivoted by a shouldered screw 62 to a lug (33 on the under side of the top-plate 3, and on the screw 62 is a coil spring (54 which bears at one of its ends against the lug 63 and at its other end against. the lower edge of the arm of the lever, this arm of the lever extending in front of the rod 37 and under the projection 39 of the collar 38, and having on its upper edge a stop 65 which makes contact with the under side of the top-plate when the lever is in its normal position, where the spring (it tends to keep it. A lever substantially the same as this has been used in the h [onarch machine to actuate a rack-lifting device, operative to raise the carriage-rack out of engagement with the escapement-pinion, and thus to release the car *iage from the control of the escapement. Since, however, a part of the carriage-retarding mechanism herein shown is operative through the lever 60-431 to lift the carriage rack from the pinion 23, the lifting device heretofore employed is not necessary in a machine provided with this carriage-retarding mechanism.
The retarding-meclianism comprises a rotary device and a coiiperative device or set of devices, which are preferably constructed and arranged as they are shown herein, although it is apparent that for these particular devices modifications thereof might be adopted. The rotary device shown is arranged to be actuated by the carriage. A tubular shaft-carrier 66, on the rear end of which is a round plate 67 and on which are formed bosses 68, the plate 67 being the front end of a case 69, is pivoted by shouldered screws 70 to and between the sides 71 of a support whose base 72 rests on the top plate 3 and is attached thereto by a screw 73, the screws 70 extending into the bosses 68, and the shaft carrier and case being movable on the axis which coincides with the axes of the screws 7 O. A yoke 74 between whose branches 75 the shaft-carrier (36 extends is pivoted by pins 76 to the shaft-carrier, this yoke being on the upper end of a link 77 which extends through the top plate and is pivoted at. its lower end to the arm 61 of the lever 606l. tains a round hole 78 in which is a shaft 79, the wall of this hole forming a bearing for the shaft, and on the front end of this shaft is a pinion 80 which is fast on the shaft. When the lever 6061 is in its normal posi tion the pinion 80 is below and out of engagement with the carriage rack 20 which then engages the escapement pinion 23, and the shaft carrier 66 is in the position shown in Fig. 2, this being its normal position. It
The shaft- -arrier (36 conis movable from this position by the lever I 60--61 acting on it through the link 77 and yoke 74 to the position shown in Fig. 3 and when it is thus moved, the pinion 80 engages with the carriage rack and lifts this rack out of engagement with the escapement pinion, so that the pinion 80 and shaft 79 may then be rotated by the action of the carriage-rack.
The rotary device is preferably'a cam 81 having three wings 82. This cam is fast on the shaft 79 within the case 69, the shaft extending through the cam, which fits loosely between the plate 67 and the back of the case and is fastened to the shaft by a pin 83. A set of oscillating devices, which are jointly cooperative with this rotary device, is shown pivotally mounted on a shouldered screw-pin 84 secured in and projecting from the plate 67, these devices being within the case 69 and their pivotal axis being parallel to that of the shaft 79. Each of these devices is flat and is composed of a perforated part 85 through which the pin 84 passes and on which are branches 86 and 87, the devices being arranged face to face as shown and being confined loosely. between the head of the pin .84 and the plate 67. The branches or arms 86 and 87 extend on opposite sides of the axis of the rotary device and shaft 79, all of them passing through, or being cut transversely by, a plane which contains the axis of the shaft 79, and which is at right angles to the plane containing that axis and the axis of the pin 84. The part 85 of each of these oscillating devices has the inner curved surface 88 facing the cam 81, while each branch 86 has a substantially plane surface 89 and a curved surface 90, and each branch 87 has a substantially plane surface 91 and a curved surface 92, the devices being so arranged with respect to the cam 81 that each wing of the cam, v. hen the shaft 79 is turned around once, makes contact with all of the surfaces 88, 89, 90, 91 and 92, and that not less than two of the wings of the cam are ever in con tact with the oscillatingdevices, and that sometimes all. of the wings are in contact with those devices.
With each rotation of the cam, its motion being in the direction indicated by arrows near Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the cooperative devices described are oscillated three times on the pin 84, they being movedto and fro by each wing 82 of the cam acting on the surfaces 89 and 91. The parts are shown in Fig. 5 as the arms 86 and 87 are about to be raised from their lowest positions by the action of a wing of the cam on the surfaces 89. In Fig. 6 the arms 86 and 87 are shown in very nearly their highest positions. The wings of the cam act on the surfaces 91 to depress the arms 86 and 87 a appears by Figs. 7 and 8. It will be seen that in whatever. position the cam may be the arms 86,
are close to or in contact with a wing of the cam and the arms 87 are close to or in contact with another wing of the cam, so that the oscillating devices are constantly subjected to the action of the cam, and constantly react on it, when the cam is in motion. 9
If the retarding effect produced on the cam by several coiirdinate oscillating devices, such as are shown in Figs. 3 and 4 should be too great, one or more of the devices or units may be removed from the pin 84, and obviously more than four such devices might be arranged to co-act with a cam as do the oscillating devices herein shown and described. Moreover, the retarding effect of these devices, or of any number of such devices, may be increased by means of a spring 93, secured in a slotted post 94, and bearing on the arms 86 and 87 of the devices mounted on the pin 84 as appears by Fig. 9. The post 94 is fixed in the plate 67, and in the case 69 are set screws 95 for regulating the pressure of the spring 011 the arms 86 and 87 The spring preferably so bears on the arms 86 and 87 that it will be forced to yield both when the arms are raised and when they are depressed by the cam.
The machine contains a spring drum 96 which is connected by a strap 97 with a stud 98 affixed to and extending below the carriage, so that when the escapement is actuated, or the carriage rack is raised out of engagement with the pinion 23, the carriage will be moved toward the left by the action on it of the spring-drum and strap.
When the tabulator key 54 is depressed the stop bar 85 is turned on its axis by the action of the lever 53 on the lever 48 and of the position in which it is shown in Fig. 9. The
carriage rack then engages the pinion 80, and is out of engagement with the escapemen't pinion from which it has been raised by the action of the other pinion on the rack. The rod 37 is drawn downward until the collar 43 meets the top plate 3, and while this collar is held by pressure on the tabulator key in contact with the top plate, the lugs 46' on the stops 45 are kept in the path of the stop 47, and the shaft carrier 66 and the pinion 80 and the carriage rack are kept in the'positions shown in Fig. As soon as the rack 20 is thus disengaged from the escapement pinion, the carriage is drawn toward the left by the spring drum 96, and the pinion 80, shaft 79 and cam 81 are turned' together on the axis of the shaft by the action of the rack on the pinion 80. The carriage continues to travel and to so actuate the cam 81 until the stop 47 meets the lug 46 of one of the tabulator stops 45. Then the tabulator key is released, whereupon the key and stop bar are restored to their normal positions by the springs 57 and 42, and as the collar 38 011 the rod 37 rises, the spring 64'restores the lever 61 to its normal position, the front end of the shaft carrier (56 and the pinion being drawn downward by the link 77 to the positions shown in F ig. 2 and the carriage rack descends to the escapement pinion 23, with which it reenga-ges just before the tabulator stop leaves the stop 47. 7
\Vhen the cam 81 is actuated as described, the pivoted devices 858687 are oscillated by the action of the wings of the cam on the branches 86 and 87, part of the energy of the carriage-spring being consumed both in moving the pivoted devices, or these devices combined with the spring 93, and in suddenly changing the direction of their motion. Consequently the carriage is retarded, and its speed may be regulated to the desired extent by increasing or diminishing the number of pivoted devices, or the pressure of the spring 93 on their arms 86 and 87. By means of the apparatus described the carriage may be so retarded, whatever distance it may travel free from the control of the escapementmechanism, as to prevent the machine from being injured and to render the shock and 7 noise slight when the carriage is arrested by tabulator-stops or other similar means.
It is to be understood that the invention claim herein may be embodied in mechanism difiering in details of construction or arrangement of parts from that which has been specifically described above, and that it may be applied to machines containing denominational or decimal tabulating mech anism, instead of the particular tabulating mechanism shown herein, or other forms of column-spacing mechanism.
The words carriage-retarding mechanism or like expressions used in the claims, are to be understood as referring to devices having the general purpose of the carriageretarding mechanism set forth in the present case, as distinguished from escapement devices for controlling the step-by-step feed of the carriage.
