AUTOMATIC FUNCTION MECHANISM FOR TYPEWRITERS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and mechanism for automatically performing typewriter functions such as backspacing and disabling the escapement mechanism of a typewriter. A ribbon cartridge carrying actuating abutments is inserted into the typewriter whereupon the abutments engage a mechanism to actuate a selected function as for example the backspace mechanism and also engage another mechanism to disable the escapement mechan- ism. Particularly adaptable to correcting typing errors, the present invention will minimize the manipulations now necessary to perform an error correcting operation. Having typed an erroneous character, the operator simply inserts a ribbon cartridge containing the actuating abutments. One of the abut- ments contacts an actuating mechanism within the typewriter to backspace the carriage. The second abutment contacts a second actuating mechanism within the typewriter to disable the escape- ment mechanism to prevent carriage movement during error cor- rection or until the ribbon cartridge is removed. Other selected typewriter functions can also be actuated by cartridge insertion.
