Abstract (en)

A tabulation rack, for a typewriter or the like, having simple and inexpensive construction. The rack (1) has a set of straight-sided pins (5) which act as tabulation stops. Each pin (5) is loosely fitted within a pair of opposed holes in opposing sides of a bracket (3). A pair of coil springs (7), placed under deformed configuration in the area between bracket (3) and pins (5), engage all of the pins (5) and provide a frictional drag for holding pins (5) in their set or clear positions. In an alternative embodiment, a single music wire extends in a serpentine configuration between staggered, cylindrical pins.
