Definitions

  • My invention relates to business machines such as cash registers, calculating or accounting machines, and particularly to the type magazines for the pertaining printing apparatus.
  • the means that secure a group of elongated and mutually parallel type members on a common type carrier and that permit each member to individually slide in its axial direction consist of guide parts of which each individual one is in slidable engagement with two or three immediately adjacent type members.
  • each of these guide parts is substantially U-shaped and straddles one type member, while a lateral lug projecting from the U-shaped part is in overlapping engagement with an adjacent type member.
  • the two legs of the U-shaped part extend through the respective interstices between two adjacent type members and are riveted or otherwise secured to the displaceable type carrier.
  • Fig. 1 shows a complete type magazine assembly
  • Figs. 2, 3 and 4 show respectively a front view, a side view and a top view of one of the guide parts of the same assembly
  • Fig. 5 shows a partial cross section along a vertical plane through one of the rows of guide parts in the assembly of Fig. 1.
  • a number of elongated type members in this instant a total of thirteen, are mounted on a flat type carrier 5 of sheet metal.
  • the type members 1 consist of slide bars which extend parallel to one another and are slidably secured to the carrier 5 by two vertical rows of guide parts 2 so that each bar is individually displaceable in its axial direction relative to the carrier.
  • Each guide part 2 is bent into a substantially U-shaped configuration and has two lateral projections or lugs 3 which are punched out of the material of the guide part.
  • Two further projections 4 at the respective leg ends of each part pass through respective openings in the type carrier 5 and serve as rivets for firmly securing the guide part to the type carrier.
  • Two studs 6 and 7 fastened to the type carrier 5 serve as abutments for a generally hairpin-shaped spring.
  • One limb 8 of the spring bears against the lower six type members 1 while the other limb 9 bears against the upper seven type members. To this end, the limb 9 has a nearly rectangular bend at it).
  • Each individual type bar has a shoulder abutted by one of the spring limbs.
  • Such a design of the spring has the advantage that the spring forces acting upon the type members are better equalized so that the upper seven type members are subjected to about the same spring force as the lower six type members.
  • the type carrier 5 is guided for vertical motion by stationary guides, for instance those shown at 11, 12 and 13. Normally the type carrier 5 is in its lowermost position which is determined by some suitable stationary stop. in the illustrated embodiment, for instance, a stop face 14 of the type carrier then rests upon one of the guides 12 which thus acts as a stop.
  • the type carrier 5 has a rack portion 15 which is engageable with a control mechanism (not shown) of the machine. When the type carrier is in its lowermost position, the uppermost type member 1 lies in front of the printing area schematically indicated at 16. When the type carrier 5 is raised, another type member is placed in the printing position, for instance as shown, the second type member counted from the top.
  • the printing hammer or platen When the printing hammer or platen (not illustrated) is actuated, it hits upon the selected type member in the direction and at the place of the arrow 17 and thus forces this type member toward the printing area.
  • the left-hand ends of the type members carry respective type faces. After each actuation, the spring limb 8 or 9 returns the type member into the initial position.
  • a printing type magazine device for business machines comprising a displaceable type carrier having a flat surface, a group of elongated rectangular type members extending parallel to one another in a direction transverse to the carrier displacement and being individually movable in said direction relative to said carrier, and two rows of guide parts mounted on said carrier and slidably securing one side of each of said type members against said fiat surface of said carrier, each guide part embracing the remaining three sides of its respective type member, said rows standing parallel to the carrier displacement and being spaced from each other in said transverse direction, and each of said guide parts being U-shaped and having spaced legs the ends of which are individually mounted on said carrier, said guide parts having outwardly extending portions in engagement with the sides opposite said one side of two adjacent ones of said type members.
  • a printing type magazine device for business machines comprising a displaceable type carrier, a group of elongated type members extending parallel to one another in a direction transverse to the carrier displacement and being individually movable in said direction relative to said carrier, two rows of guide parts, said rows being spaced from each other in said direction and the guide parts of each row being aligned in the displacement direction of said carrier and being individually mounted on said carrier for slidably securing said type members thereto, each of said guide parts straddling the side of alternate ones of said type members, each of said guide parts having a lateral projection overlapping a portion of the side of an adjacent type member, said guide parts having legs which extend across the width of said type member and project into said carrier at the opposite side of the type members.
  • a printing type magazine device for business machines comprising a displaceable carrier plate, a group of elongated type members extending parallel to one another in a direction transverse to the carrier displacement and being individually movable in said direction relative to said plate, said members being spaced from each other a distance less than the width of each individual member in the plane of the plate, and a number of guide parts individually mounted on said carrier for slidably securing said type members thereto, each of said guide parts having a U-shaped portion straddling the sides of alternate ones of said type members, each of said guide parts having two laterally projecting lugs overlapping portions of the sides of adjacent type members, said guide parts having legs which extend across the width of said type members and project into said carrier at the opposite side of the type members.
