ther an arm pivoted on the supporting memher; and finally a copy carrying device supported on said arm and adapted to be moved on the one hand into different positions along the latter, and onthe other hand into various positions around the arm.

The accompanying drawings represent by carrier.

Fig. 2 is a plan.

The supporting member in this formof embodiment comprises a thin metal bracket (1., one side of which a is inserted between a felt plate 7), (on which the writing machine 0, stands), and the supportd of this machine; it is thus kept in position by the weight of the latter. The other side a of said bracket 0. is provided with a cylindrical vertical socket e, in which can revolve one of the ends f of the revolving arm 7 which is made of a rod or of a metal tube bentround twice at right angles. so as to form a horizontal part f and two vertical terminal limbs f and On the last part 7' a socket is adapted to slide and revolve, said socket being integral with one of the ends of an arm 9' cut in the metal plate 9? of the copy carrying device g, said plate being itself folded in such a manner as to present a bottom flange or ledge g. The socket 9 may be pushed up as far as desired along the limb i Once at the desired height it is secured there by means of a clamp 71. ar-

way of example one embodiment of the copy ranged just below said socket and to be held against the limb 7, by means of a looking screw it acting on the limb f and tight The drawing shows the bracket a inserted under the left side of the machine, and the copy carrier onflthe left thereof. However nothing prevents the typist from bringing the copy carrier'to the rightif desired by inserting the member a under the right side of the 'machine. It is then suflicient to turn the arm f in relation to alto bring the device 7 into the proper position.

What Iclaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent in the United States is or the arm 7 can be effected otherwise member held by the machine, an arm bent round to form a loop. and pivotally arranged on said supporting member and a copy carrying device adjustably mounted on said arm.

2. A copy carrier for writing, adding and the like machines comprising a bracket supported by the machine. an arm bent round I to form a loop and pivotally mounted on said supporting member, a plate and a socket integral with said plate adjustably mounted i on saidarm.

3. A copy carrier for writing, adding and the like machines comprising a supporting member attached to the machine. an arm pivotally mounted on said supporting member. a plate with a bottom flange. :1- part of said plate bent back upon itself to form a lateral extension thereof and a socket integral with said plate, mounted on said arm and kept in position by a clamp and locking screw.
