(under subclass 319) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to mechanism that counterbalances the force of gravity acting on a carriage* when the typewriter is inclined to the horizontal.
(1) Note. A typewriter is usually operated while it is in a horizontal position. The carriage therefore moves horizontally, and the weight of its mass does not affect its movement. However, if the typewriter is tilted and its carriage is moved along a line that is inclined to the horizontal, the weight of the carriage will affect its movement. Disclosures in this subclass provided for means to compensate for the weight of the carriage due to tilting of the typewriter.
