Abstract: A typewriter constructed to operate in sequential cycles in performing both print and functional operations is provided with a normally engaged clutch operable to interrupt a print operation after its initiation whenever nonprinting functions are selected. Mechanism is provided for restoring the partially actuated print mechanism to a preset home position prior to initiation of a subsequent typewriter cycle.

Abstract: LE9-81-011 RIBBON CARTRIDGE WITH RIBBON GUIDE ARMS A ribbon cartridge having a supply spool (3) and a take-up spool hub (27) to receive ribbon (1). Ribbon guide arms (9) are pivoted on pins (62) on the wall (17) of the cartridge. Downward bias is provided by a single spring (11) in a housing (13). A central section (60) is biased by the spring (11). The central section (60) may be grasped to move the guide arms 9 upward.

Abstract: A pneumatic sheet transport and alignment mechanism is disclosed utilizing the orientation of the air jets in the pneumatic transport to cause the sheet being transported to be moved laterally to engage an edge guide such that the sheet is properly aligned for subsequent operations upon exiting from the transport and alignment mechanism. Additionally a technique is disclosed which allows the sheet to be progressively engaged with the edge guide or reference edge such that the trailing corner of the sheet as it progresses through the transport is engaged with the reference edge prior to the leading corner thereby avoiding jams and retarded sheets.

Abstract: LE9-84-021 RIBBON FEED TENSION MECHANISM of the Invention Member (9) has a tension arm (13) over which ribbon (3) feeds. Biasing arm (17) presses member (9) toward brake surface (7), with slot (21) moved until it encounters stud (23). At low tension of ribbon (3), brake surfaces (11) and (7) press and hold ribbon (3). As feed tension increase, tension arm (13) forces member (9) back until stud (23) encounters the opposite end of slot (21), after which slightly higher force further opens the brake and arm (13) continues to provide feed tension. The mechanism is small, efficient, smooth functioning, and suited to incorporation as part of a ribbon cartridge.

Abstract: LE9-80-028 RIBBON FEED MODE SHIFT MECHANISM Leaf spring (20) is overcome by a coil spring (15) when a cartridge cylinder (42) is not in place. In that status bottom gear (11) is engaged with bottom gear (17) so that movement from shaft (1) produces long ribbon feed. When a cartridge (40) is mounted having a cylinder (42) adapted to squeeze the spring (20), the coil spring (15) is overcome, and top gear (9) engages top gear (16), producing short ribbon feed.

Abstract: DUPLICATING MACHINE EMPLOYING IMAGE REVERSING OPTICAL PATHS WITH FRONT EDGE DOCUMENT ALIGNMENT ON DOCUMENT INPUT AND OUTPUT A document reproduction machine, such as an electrostatic copier, has a copy station with a front reference edge for operator convenience. A reproduction station adjacent the copy station reverses the image such that the reference edge is at a rear or remote position from the operator. The duplicate copy is initially referenced to the rear reference edge. An aligner in a transfer station moves the duplicate copy to a front reference edge and into an exit station which may include a collator. In a minimal transport distance, documents of various lengths are automatically handled and aligned by the apparatus.
