    Abstract: A rotary-to-linear motion conversion device comprises a rotatable shaft (32) and an annular cam surface member (36) encircling the shaft (32) and pivotally mounted on a bracket (44) secured to the shaft (32). The member (36) is engaged by an arm (27) of a pivoted cam follower (26) biased towards the member (36). The portion of the member (36) diametrally opposite the pivot (40) engages a slider (48) rotatable with the shaft (32). The slider (48) engages a flange (56) and a collar (60). Between the collar (60) and a fixed stop (64) are four selectively withdrawable interposers (70, 72, 74 and 76) of increasing incremental widths. Two such devices are included in a typewriter character selection system to control tilt and rotation of a typehead. The tilt and rotate cam members are mounted so that they pivot to vary the cam rise. The rise of the cam is controlled by the interposers under the influence of the keyboard.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a cartridge and a cartridge assembly for a typewriter, the assembly comprising a pair of case members, each case having a separate chamber and including means for releasably connecting the two cases in superimposed overlapping relation. First and second pairs of spaced apart ribbon guide means are associated with each of the cases and dimensioned to be aligned, first pair to second pair. Each of the case members includes a separate supply and take-up spool, the supply spool having a fixed axis of rotation and the take-up spool having a shiftable axis of rotation along a translatory path. An opening is provided along one edge of each of the cases, the openings being aligned in the paths while the take-up spools are biased in their respective paths towards the opening. Also disclosed is a drive mechanism for the cartridge in which the type of ribbon (for example, carbon or cloth) is indicated on the cartridge by a cam arrangement and, upon insertion into the machine, automatically selects the correct feed and ribbon lift mechanism to minimize ribbon wastage.

    Abstract: A mechanism is disclosed for the automatic erasing of typing errors utilizing a fully serialized and automated correction apparatus where the correction is accomplished by a single backspace operation allowing both the erasure of the erroneously typed letter and the typing of the proper letter. The backspace operation repositions the typewriter carriage for the correction of the erroneous letter and at the same time inhibits the escapement of the carriage for a single print cycle allowing the corrected letter to be printed over the correction without requiring an additional backspace operation. The escapement mechanism is re-engaged during the correction cycle so that the carriage advances of the print cycle.
