Document feed-in device for typing machine.

摘要

A document feed-in device for an electronic typewriter comprises a lower guide member (13) for guiding the document towards a typing line on the platen (12) and a plate or bar member (77) for guiding the document immediately beyond the typing line. The plate or bar member is carried by two movable levers (23, 24) spanned by a bail bar (22) for moving that member away from the platen and at the same time actuating a switch (51) for signalling the presence of the document to the electronic control means of the machine, to cause rotation of the platen so that the document (54) goes beyond the typing line by a predetermined distance such that the top edge of the document is moved into a region in which it Is engaged by the plate or bar member (when the bail bar (22) is returned) to permit typing in a region immediately adjacent to the top edge of the document.
