corr-HOLDER.
Speeicaton of Letters Patent.`
Patented Aug. 9, 1910.
Application` filed June 5, 1909. Serial No. 500,253.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, Jol-IN A. MURRAY, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Iowa City, in the county of Johnson and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Copy-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in copy hold-ers.
The principal object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character which shall be adapted for application to an Oliver typewriting machine .in such a manner as to support copy directly in front of the typewriter, the invention comprehending a copy holder comprising a body, means adapted to retain copy in proper posi.- tion upon the body, and members adapted to secure the holder in applied position.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a copy holder which shall be simple, durable and efficient of construction, which may be readily and quickly applied to and removed from a typewriting machine, and which may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.
lith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts here inafter fully described and claimed.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure l is a perspective view illustrating the application of the copy holder. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of the copy holder', and Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on a plane extending vertically and centrally through the copy holder. Fig. t is a sectional view taken Von the horizontal plane indicated by the line 4 4 of Fig. l, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, l designates the tape boxes and 2 the type bar supports of an Oliver typewriting machine.
The copy holder comprises a body 3 and portions being `suitably secured to the body 3; Pull bars 7 rise vertically from the horizontal portions 5, and are located between the members G and the body 3. All parts of each memberlare formed from a single length of wire or any other material suitable for the purpose. A tie rod 8, preferably constructed of a single length` of wire, is secured at its ends to the vertical portion 6 at points. suitably spaced from the horizontal portions 5, and maintains the members 4 in a normally relative relation.
When the copy holder is in applied position the members 4 rest upon the tape boxes l and engage the type bar supports 2, whereby to secure the holder to the machine directly in front of the typewriter. l/Vhen it is desired to remove the copy holder from the typewriting machine, it is only necessary to remove the members a out of engagement with the type bar supports 2 through the medium of the pull rods 7 It is to be noted thatthe tie rod 8 engages the rear sides, and the body 3 of the front sides of the type bar supports 2, such engagement and the engagement of the type bar supports by the members 4 securing the copy holder against casual displacement.
The body 3 may be made of any material suitable for the purpose, and at its lower edge i't is cut away as at 9 so as not to interfere with the cleaning of .the type and the typewriters view of the writing. At a point adjacent its lower edge the body 3 is provided with a shelf or support 10 upon which the lower edge of the copy rests. The copy is secured in applied position by means of a pair of spring arms 11 which are each pivotally secured at its lower end to the shelf or support l0.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it should be apparent that I provide a copy holder in the use of which copy may be supported directly in front of the typewriter, and that the copy holder' may be readily and quickly applied and removed from the typewriting machine. It should also be apparent that the copy holder may be used to support copy at the side of the machine, that it is simple durable and eiiicient of construction, and 'that it may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.
Changes in the form, proportions and cured to each supporting and clamping member.
2. A copy holder comprising a body, copy retaining means mounted upon the body, a pair of L-shaped supporting and spring clamping members secured to the rear side of the body in relatively spaced relation, a utie rod secured at its ends to the vertical portions of the supporting and clamping members, and a pull rod secured to the horizontal portion of each clamping and supporting member.
3. copy holder comprising a body having its lower edge recessed, a shelf secured to the front side of the body, spring arms each pivotally secured at its lower end to the shelf, a pair of L-shaped supporting and spring clamping members secured at their ends to the rear side of the body in relatively spaced relation, a tie rod secured at its ends to the vertical portions of the supporting and clamping members, and n, vertical pull rod secured to the horizontal portion of each clamping and supporting member.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of tivo Witnesses.
