Description

Dec. 28, 1965 s. JAVORS COLOR TYPE MEANS Filed Feb. 24. 1965 FIG 2 FIG INVENTOR.
SOL JAVORS United States Patent 3,225,888 COLOR TYPE MEANS Sol Javors, 57 Maplewood Drive, Plainview, Long Island, N.Y. Filed Feb. 24, 1965, Ser. No. 434,926 2 Claims. (Cl. 197-150) This invention relates to means for typing in different colors without changing the typewriter ribbon.
More particularly, the invention relates to means for changing the colors of words or diiferent paragraphs in a letter or a bill without changing the ribbon.
Most of the typewriter ribbons usedare of one color, usually black. Certain typewriters are adapted to use color ribbons generally black and red. However, the red ribbon is only used very little in comparison with the black portion of the ribbon so that the red portion is substantially wasted.
Also, certain typewriters use a paper or plastic carbon ribbon which is used only once. It is not practical to incorporate different colors into this type of ribbon.
It is quite often, in business olfices, desired to emphasize certain words or paragraphs, to have them typed in another color, for instance in typing credit slips, the numbers are generally typed in red to distinguish them, and in financial statements red is used showing a loss. Also, red and other colors are used commercially in advertising copy, in descriptive manuals and various other places where it is desired to emphasize a few words or paragraphs.
The present invention generally comprises a sheet of carbon paper of a predetermined color for instance red and light color backing paper aflixed to the carbon paper or a sheet of carbon paper with an extra thick backing. When it is desired to type certain words, numbers, sentences, paragraphs, etc. the backed carbon of the present invention, is inserted between the machine ribbon and the paper to be typed upon. Therefore, when the color typing is being done the light color backing sheet will receive the ribbon impression from the conventional ribbon so that the typist will see what she is typing.
The backing preferably has a flap or other means to afiix it in predetermined relation to the paper to be written upon. If more than one copy is to be colored, then it is necessary to insert the backed carbons of the present invention between the black carbons in the typewriter and the copies which are desired to be written upon.
Accordingly, a principal object of the invention is to provide new and improved means for typing different colors without changing the ribbon.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved color means for typing different colors afiixed to a light color backing sheet. The purpose of the light color backing sheet is to provide stifiness and strength to the combination and also to permit the typist to see what he or she is typing in color.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved carbon typing means comprising a carbon paper of predetermined color, a light color backing affixed to said carbon and means connected to said backing to affix said backed carbon to the paper which is to be typed upon.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved color typing means which is inexpensive and easy to use.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved means for color typing comprising a sheet of carbon paper of predetermined color, a light color backing paper affixed to said carbon paper, said backed carbon paper being supplied in sheets with perforations of predetermined spacing in order that it may be readily torn apart.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved means for color typing without changing the ribbon in the typewriter comprising a sheet of carbon paper of predetermined color, a light color backing sheet affiXed to said carbon paper, said backing sheet being adapted to receive the impression from the ribbon in the machine so that the typist can see what she is typing in color.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved color typing comprising a tape of carbon paper of predetermined color, a light color backing tape afiixed ot said carbon, said backed tape being adapted to be supplied on a roller form.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following specification and drawings of which:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of the embodiment of the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a side view of the embodiment of FIGURE 1.
Referring to the figures, the invention generally comprises a sheet 1 of carbon paper of predetermined color which may be conventional. Aflixed or bonded to the sheet 1 is a sheet 2 of color light backing paper. The purpose of the backing paper is to provide stiffness and strength to the carbon paper and more importantly to provide a surface which will receive the impression from the ribbon in the typewriter so that the typist can read what she is typing.
The backed carbon of the present invention may be supplied in a large sheet and is preferably perforated at convenient intervals by the perforations 3, 4, 5 etc. in order that the sheet may be torn in convenient pieces depending upon the size of the work being typed.
Alternatively, the carbon type material may be deposited directly on the backing.
Aflixed to the backing sheet 2 is a flap 6 which is adapted to fold back and around the edge of the paper being typed upon. For instance, if it is desired to type a paragraph for instance in red color, then the portion 7 of the sheet may be torn off including the flap portion 7'. The flap 7 is attached to the paper being typed upon at the desired point. The flap 7' may contain a small amount of adhesive to securely affix it to the paper being typed upon.
Alternatively, if only a small portion of the word or phrase is to be typed, then one of the sections 8, 9 may be torn out and inserted manually between the typewriter ribbon and the paper being typed upon. The normal pressure of typewriter platen is suflicient to hold the carbon paper of the present invention in position. The backing may be bonded to the carbon by conventional heat sealing methods.
Therefore, the present invention comprises means to color type without changing the ribbon and without requiring two color ribbons. As a matter of fact with the present invention many different colors may be typed on the same sheet of paper without changing the carbon merely by inserting the backing carbon paper of the present invention of the desired color at the desired place of the typing.
The flap of the present invention may also be used with plain carbon sheets for afiixing the carbon in place.
The term carbon or carbon type material is meant to cover other equivalent reproducing materials.
By using the present invention, conventional type writers may be used wherever multi color typing is desired for instance, in advertising copy, bills, statements, profit and loss statements, etc.
3 The present invention is inexpensive and easy to use. Many modifications may be made by those who desire to practice the invention without departing from the scope thereof which is defined by the following claims:
I claim: 1. Means for typing different colors without changing ribbons comprising,
a sheet of carbon paper of predetermined color, a light color backing sheet atfixed to said carbon sheet so that the user can see the typed impressions, and means connected to said backing sheet to afiix said backing sheet and said carbon paper to a predetermined position on the paper being typed on, said last means comprising a flap on said backing sheet which is adapted to fold over around the edge of said paper being typed on, said backing sheet and carbon sheet being formed with perforations of predetermined spacing to facilitate tearing them off in the desired size.
hesive thereon.
