Definitions

  • This invention relates to public service billing equipment for typewriters, and more particularly to the equipment of typewriters of the fiat platen type.
  • the object of the invention is to provide means for holding a bill and statement in progressively different relative positions which will result in the data appearing in different lines on the bill and in a singleline on the statement.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of a portion of an Elliott-Fisher billing machine equipped with my invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a view of a statement or recapitulation sheet showing the line of data which has been transferred thereto and indicating in dotted lines the several positions of the bill during the printing thereon of the data appearing in said line.
  • Fig. 3 is a view of the bill showing how the data is imprinted thereon.
  • Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of a portion of the line space frame of the machine equipped with the guide plate.
  • Fig. 5 is a sectional view through the front portion of the frame, guide plate and bill holder. 1
  • Fig. 6 is a view of a ledger sheet with the bill positions indicated in dotted lines.
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the bill holder- Fig. 8 is a sectional view of the bill holder detached, with the bill indicated in dotted lines.
  • the machine illustrated in connection with my invention is what is known as the Elliott- Fisher billing and bookkeeping machine of commerce.
  • the printing mechanism (not shown) imprintsv upon a fiat platen 1 associated with tracks or guides 2 on which travels longitudinally 'of' the platen a line space frame 3 which supports and guides the carriage constituting the vehicle for the printing mechanism.
  • a bill holder cooperating with this guide plate is a bill holder, indicated as a whole by 8 and comprising a base plate 9 over which is disposeda bill clamp 10 having at its front end an operating handle 12.
  • the clamp 10 is divided in the center, as shown at 13, to accommodate a bracket 14 rising from the baseplate 9 and connected as by a hinge 15 to the clamp 10.
  • a pair of, swinging clamping jaws 16 pivotally mounted on screws 17 and having upstanding lugs 18 between which is interposed a spring 19 which tends todraw the gripping jaws together.
  • the screws 17 also retain a top plate 20 bifurcated at 21to forma guide and piercedby an additional centrally located screw 22 which acts as a stop common to both jaws.
  • the bracket 14 is formed with a guiding and locating memberl24, the guiding end 25 of which rests against the front'edge of the guide plate 6 and the locating end of which is provided with a location tooth 26 which is designedto fit into once a series of locating notches 27 in the front edge of the plate 6.
  • a locating pin 28 designed to be received within the guide 21 of the bill spring 19 since the jaws while normally ret aining the holder in position by engagement with the pins will yield when presented to the pin with suflicient force for either placement in or displacement from position.
  • the latter is formed with a work gauge in the form of lugs 29 and 30.
  • the machine writes in a continuous line but by means of the bill holder described the bill is given a line spaced feed between the printing of different portions of the same line of writing and at the same time is sufiiciently advanced to again permit theprintingto take place across the bill.
