DEFINITION

Classification: 400/480

Including control of key action (e.g., buffer, etc.):

(under subclass 472) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to the regulating or governing of the movement or speed of movement or stopping of a key* element or said fulcrumed bar (i.e., a key lever) of a typewriter key-board*.

(1) Note. This subclass provides for a buffer that absorbs some of the kinetic energy imparted to the keys of the typewriter by the typist.
