Abstract
Abstract For the especial use in supplying and supporting a web of transfer paper for transverse feed across the record webs of an autographic register, an extruded thermo-plastic hollow cylinder is provided for holding a roll of transfer paper, the wall of the cylinder being interrupted and terminating in two flanges extending in close parallel relation tangentially of the cylinder, the flanges adapted to resiliently grip the web as it issues from the cylinder to restrain the web from creeping and buckling.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
An autographic register comprising a supporting frame, means for feeding a plurality of record webs of business forms across said frame in a longitudinal direction, and a container at one side of said frame for housing a transfer web and from which said transfer web may be fed transversely across said frame present successive portions thereof into interleaved relationship with said record webs and means for temporarily securing the free end of said transfer webs, said container comprising a sheet of thermo-plastic material extruded in the form of a hollow cylinder to receive the web in the form of a roll, the wall of the cylinder interrupted at one point in its circumference and the resulting adjacent ends of the wall formed as parallel flanges extending tangentially with respect to the cylinder proper, between which flanges the transfer web is pulled, the extruded cylindrical structure having sufficient resilience to urge said flanges toward each other to yieldably grip the web between them whereby the transfer web is retained in said interleaved relationship with the record webs without being displaced or buckled by the friction of the feeding movement of said record webs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
An autographic register comprising a supporting frame, means for feeding a plurality of record webs of business forms across said frame in a longitudinal direction, and a container at one side of said frame for housing a transfer web and from which said transfer web may be fed transversely across said frame present successive portions thereof into interleaved relationship with said record webs and means for temporarily securing the free end of said transfer webs, said container comprising a sheet of thermo-plastic material extruded in the form of a hollow cylinder to receive the web in the form of a roll, the wall of the cylinder interrupted at one point in its circumference and the resulting adjacent ends of the wall formed as parallel flanges extending tangentially with respect to the cylinder proper, between which flanges the transfer web is pulled, the extruded cylindrical structure having sufficient resilience to urge said flanges toward each other to yieldably grip the web between them whereby the transfer web is retained in said interleaved relationship with the record webs without being displaced or buckled by the friction of the feeding movement of said record webs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
A dispensing container for use in the crossfeed of a web of transfer material, especially suited to exert restrained release of the web to inhibit creeping or buckling in use with record webs in an autographic register, said container comprising a sheet of thermo-plastic material extruded in the form of a hollow cylinder to receive the web in the form of a roll, said cylinder being open at the ends thereof whereby the roll of transfer material can be inserted therein, the wall of the cylinder interrupted at one point in its circumference and the resulting adjacent ends of the wall formed as parallel flanges extending tangentially with respect to the cylinder proper, between which flanges the transfer web is pulled, the extruded cylindrical structure having sufficient resilience to urge said flanges toward each other to yieldably grip the web between them.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
