Abstract
Abstract A screen monitor, such as for test editing, is disposed for swivelable and inclinable movement to one side of a text station machine, such as a word processor or telex, on an upstanding support column. An extension arm crank is connected at one end with the top of the support column and supports the screen monitor on its other end. The extension arm is swivelably arranged on a bushing connector at the top of the columm. The monitor is similarly swivelably arranged on a bushing connection at the free end of the extension arm. The monitor is further supported for rotatably inclinable movement by means of angle bracket mountings which are pinned in tight-fit relation on a shaft running through the monitor bushing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
Apparatus for fastening a screen monitor to a text printing machine having a housing, comprising an upright column positioned to one side of said machine housing, an extension arm extending laterally outward from the longitudinal axis of said column, a first bushing connecting means between one end of said extension arm and an upper end of said column such that said extension arm is swivelably disposed relative to said column, a second bushing connection means between the other end of said extension arm and said screen monitor such that said screen is mounted for swivelable movement relative to said extension arm other end, wherein said first bushing means comprises a bush disposed on said column, a pin shaft extending through said bush and securing said bush to said column, a pin connected at one end to said pin shaft and extending upward therefrom, a connector surface portion formed on said extension arm disposed over said bush, and a shoulder screw for clamping said connector surface portion onto said bush and being threadably received in an upper end of said pin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
Apparatus for fastening a screen monitor to a text printing machine having a housing, comprising an upright column positioned to one side of said machine housing, an extension arm extending laterally outward from the longitudinal axis of said column, a first bushing connecting means between one end of said extension arm and an upper end of said column such that said extension arm is swivelably disposed relative to said column, a second bushing connection means between the other end of said extension arm and said screen monitor such that said screen is mounted for swivelable movement relative to said extension arm other end, wherein said first bushing means comprises a bush disposed on said column, a pin shaft extending through said bush and securing said bush to said column, a pin connected at one end to said pin shaft and extending upward therefrom, a connector surface portion formed on said extension arm disposed over said bush, and a shoulder screw for clamping said connector surface portion onto said bush and being threadably received in an upper end of said pin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first bushing means further comprises a leaf spring between said shoulder screw and said connector surface portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second bushing means comprises a second bush disposed on said other end of said extension arm, a shaft extending through said second bush, a second pin connected at one end to said shaft and extending downwardly therefrom, a surface portion formed on said extension arm disposed beneath said bush, and a second shoulder screw for clamping said surface portion against said bush and being threadably received in a lower end of said second pin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said second bushing means further comprises a second leaf spring between said second shoulder screw and said surface portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
175 words
Apparatus for fastening a screen monitor to a text printing machine having a housing, comprising an upright column positioned to one side of said machine housing, an extension arm extending laterally outward from the longitudinal axis of said column, a first bushing connecting means between one end of said extension arm and an upper end of said column such that said extension arm is swivelably disposed relative to said column, a second bushing connection means between the other end of said extension arm and said screen monitor such that said screen monitor is mounted for swivelable movement relative to said extension arm other end, wherein said second bushing means comprises a bush disposed on said other end of said extension arm, a shaft extending through said bush, a pin connected at one end to said shaft and extending downwardly therefrom, a surface portion formed on said extension arm disposed beneath said bush, and a shoulder screw for clamping said surface portion against said bush and being threadably received in a lower end of said pin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
175 words
Apparatus for fastening a screen monitor to a text printing machine having a housing, comprising an upright column positioned to one side of said machine housing, an extension arm extending laterally outward from the longitudinal axis of said column, a first bushing connecting means between one end of said extension arm and an upper end of said column such that said extension arm is swivelably disposed relative to said column, a second bushing connection means between the other end of said extension arm and said screen monitor such that said screen monitor is mounted for swivelable movement relative to said extension arm other end, wherein said second bushing means comprises a bush disposed on said other end of said extension arm, a shaft extending through said bush, a pin connected at one end to said shaft and extending downwardly therefrom, a surface portion formed on said extension arm disposed beneath said bush, and a shoulder screw for clamping said surface portion against said bush and being threadably received in a lower end of said pin.
