DEFINITION
Classification: 400/419
Type-member or type-bar pivoted and rotatable (e.g., for selection of type-face):
(under subclass 415) Subject matter wherein a plurality of type-face* elements are carried on a type-member* or carried by a type-bar*, which type-bar is an elongated member that is oscillatable from a rest position to a print-point* position about a pivot, and wherein either the type-member or the type-bar may be turned or oscillated about an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis of the type-bar, whereby one of the plurality of type-faces on any type-member or type-bar may be positioned or oriented to be impressed against the record-medium* when the type-bar is oscillated to the print-point.
(1) Note. The structure provides for selection of one of a plurality of type-faces from the limited number of type-faces available on one type-member. For a typewriter wherein a type-head* includes a plurality of type-faces comprising a type-set-assemblage*, see subclass 139 above.
