Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
217 words
A device for manual registration of coded data, especially of data intended to be subjected to subsequent automatic process, compriSing, in combination, a registration medium of generally rectangular configuration having a plurality of different marking locations arranged in a field of mutually perpendicular columns and rows, a plurality of pattern sheets of generally rectangular sheet-like configuration successively provided with displaced columns of directive information and marking indicia for guiding the recordal of responses to such directive information with said directive information and the indicia related thereto being in rows perpendicular to said columns and with said indicia being in mutually displaced columns on successive ones of said plurality of pattern sheets, and a carrier for said registration medium and said plurality of pattern sheets, said carrier comprising means for simultaneously securably retaining said plurality of pattern sheets and registration medium in predetermined position and for insuring successive accurate mutual positioning of said registration medium and each of said pattern sheets, with each of the marking indices being arranged in a unique position from each of the other marking indices of the respective pattern sheets corresponding to said different marking locations of said registration medium so that marks made corresponding to any of said marking indices appear in a separate position of said field of said registration medium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
217 words
A device for manual registration of coded data, especially of data intended to be subjected to subsequent automatic process, compriSing, in combination, a registration medium of generally rectangular configuration having a plurality of different marking locations arranged in a field of mutually perpendicular columns and rows, a plurality of pattern sheets of generally rectangular sheet-like configuration successively provided with displaced columns of directive information and marking indicia for guiding the recordal of responses to such directive information with said directive information and the indicia related thereto being in rows perpendicular to said columns and with said indicia being in mutually displaced columns on successive ones of said plurality of pattern sheets, and a carrier for said registration medium and said plurality of pattern sheets, said carrier comprising means for simultaneously securably retaining said plurality of pattern sheets and registration medium in predetermined position and for insuring successive accurate mutual positioning of said registration medium and each of said pattern sheets, with each of the marking indices being arranged in a unique position from each of the other marking indices of the respective pattern sheets corresponding to said different marking locations of said registration medium so that marks made corresponding to any of said marking indices appear in a separate position of said field of said registration medium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
Device defined in claim 1 wherein said carrier comprises a generally rectangular surface having two generally parallel spaced-apart ends, said patterns being stacked, one above the other, and secured to said carrier adjacent one of said ends, said registration medium being assemblable with said carrier at the other end thereof for sequential interleaving behind each of said patterns while being fixably positioned relative thereto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A device according to claim 1 characterized in that the marking indexes are located, at least partially, in equally spaced apart positions on different pattern sheets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A device according to claim 1 characterized in that the marking indexes consist of pattern sheets of holes in the pattern sheets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A device according to claim 1 characterized in that it includes a generally rectangular carrier on which the pattern sheets are clamped along an edge portion thereof while permitting folding them over said edge portion, said body being provided with guide means for positioning the registration medium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A device according to claim 5, characterized in that the carrier comprises a rigid plate having clamping means for the pattern sheets at said edge portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device according to claim 5, characterized in that said guide means for the registration medium are arranged to cooperate with a support plate for rhe registration medium.
