摘要： A heat transfer type multi-color printer which serves to automatically draw out a new ink ribbon with a simple constitution for recording. The multi-color printer includes members for holding/releasing an ink ribbon provided on a carriage which carries the recording head, and two ribbon spools of a ribbon cassette mounted on a printer body constructed to transmit unidirectional turning force of a spacing motor for moving the carriage. With this arrangement, the multi-color printer serves, when recording, to draw out the ink ribbon from one of the ribbon spools during the time the carriage moves in one direction and, serves, with the carriage moving in the opposite direction to hold the ink ribbon and to rotate the two ribbon spools for winding the ink ribbon.

摘要： Disclosed is a printer having a plurality of heating elements disposed on a thermal head which generate heat to melt a transfer material coated on a printing tape and transfer it onto a recording medium. The printer comprises a printer body having a recording paper setting device, a thermal head and head feed mechanism, and a tape cassette mounted vertically along the front of the printer body, which contains the printing tape. The invention is characterized in that the tape cassette stretches the printing tape throughout the overall length of space provided for movement of the thermal head. While the printing tape is held stationary, the head is moved in a stepping manner at every printing and is then fed for one character without printing after reaching the end of the print line. Thereafter, the head is restored to the beginning of the next print line, and the used tape is simultaneously wound onto a take-up spool in the cassette at a speed of substantially zero relative to the restoration of the thermal head to the beginning of the next print line.

摘要： A thermal printing apparatus includes a platen about which a sheet of paper is circumferentially embraced; a head transfer carriage mounted on guide rails of the apparatus for slidable movement in the lengthwise direction of the platen; a thermal head assembly mounted only on one guide rail so as to move with the head transfer carriage in the lengthwise direction of the platen while also being adapted to pivot about the guide rail toward and away from the platen, such that a tape from a tape cartridge is positioned between the thermal head assembly and the paper so that as the thermal head assembly moves along the platen, it selectively heats the tape in response to an information signal to transfer the pigment from the tape onto the paper and thereby record visual information on the paper; a tape clamp device including a lever pivotally mounted to the apparatus, an elastic plate fixedly mounted to the apparatus, and a spring which biases the lever toward the elastic plate to clamp the tape therebetween during movement of the thermal head assembly in the recording operation; and another tape clamp device including a lever pivotally mounted to the head transfer carriage, an elastic plate fixedly mounted to the carriage and a spring which biases the lever toward the elastic plate to clamp the tape therebetween during movement of the thermal head assembly in the carriage return operation.

摘要： A serial impact printer of the type utilizing a dot matrix print head is specifically adaptable for use as a calculator or adding machine and is characterized by utilizing a common drive source to advance the print head across the paper, advance the paper between printing operations, and selectively advance the print ribbon between the ribbon supply spool and takeup spool. An improved paper-advancing means has been devised which operates in close correlation with the print head drive member to provide a relatively high speed, simplified and inexpensive printer unit; and the ribbon supply spools are so constructed and arranged as to be interchangeable and to permit direct drive through a spool-engaging member on the print head whereby to advance the ribbon in direct response to print head travel.

摘要： A printer having a printhead which moves from left to right across the document to print a line and a ribbon located between the printing end of the printhead and the document. Ribbon supply means is provided at the right side of the document, ribbon takeup means is provided at the left side of the document and means for engaging the ribbon when the printhead moves from right to left is mounted on the printhead. During a printing operation with left-to-right movement of the printhead, the ribbon remains stationary and is traversed by the printhead. This provides a new area of the ribbon for printing each character. When the printhead returns to the left to begin a new line, printing does not occur and the engaging means connected to the printhead pulls the ribbon from the supply means. The resulting slack in the ribbon is taken up at the left side of the document by the takeup means and when the printhead reaches the left margin a new supply of ribbon has been provided for printing the next line. Since the printhead prints when moving toward the right, its velocity is slower in this direction. Preferably, the engaging means is fractionally operable to engage the ribbon at the higher speed during leftward movement but slides with respect to the ribbon at the slower velocity during rightward movement.

摘要： A ribbon is driven past the printing station of a printer only when the print head is moved in the right-to-left direction across the printer. An endless timing belt causes rotation of a gear pulley that is in mesh with an idler gear. The idler gear is supported on a pair of projecting fingers of a plate that is swingable on the center of the gear pulley. The idler gear is responsive to the direction of rotation of the gear pulley through a drag effect of the projecting fingers with the bottom surface of the idler gear.

摘要： In order to advance an inked ribbon in a printing apparatus in which a printing carriage mechanism moves across the width of a platen, one-way brakes are placed on ribbon guide rollers on the printing carriage mechanism to permit relative movement between the printing carriage mechanism and the inked ribbon as the printing carriage mechanism is advancing from left-to-right across the paper. One-way brakes are placed on return rollers in the ribbon path in order to prevent the inked ribbon from moving with respect to the platen as the printing carriage mechanism is moving from left-to-right across the paper. When the printing carriage mechanism moves from right-to-left in order to return to the left-hand margin, the one-way brakes on the ribbon guide rollers on the printing carriage mechanism apply substantial friction to the inked ribbon and drag the inked ribbon with the printing carriage mechanism as the printing carriage mechanism returns from right-to-left. In this same motion the return rollers rotate freely to alow the inked ribbon to move in accordance with the printing carriage mechanism motion.

摘要： A thermal printer for printing characters or the like on a recording medium, heat-sensitive paper or plain paper, by a thermal printhead which is mounted on a carriage movable along the recording medium in a reciprocating manner is provided. The printhead is pressed against the recording medium while the carriage is moving in a printing direction and the printhead is kept away from the recording medium while the carriage is moving in a returning direction opposite to the printing direction. A cassette containing therein heat-sensitive ink ribbon is substantially elongated in shape and it bridges between a pair of side plates forming part of a frame of the printer when detachably mounted in position. The cassette is provided with a supply port at one end and a take-up port at the opposite end and thus the ribbon is lead outside through the supply port and lead inside through the take-up port. And the ribbon is taken up in association with the returning motion of the carriage.

摘要： A print ribbon driving mechanism including a switching bail swingingly mounted on a reciprocatively mounted support movable between two opposite spindles carrying print ribbon spools. The spindles have ratchet teeth, and the switching bail has a pair of opposite pawl surfaces for engaging the ratchet teeth as the support and bail are moved in opposite directions. A trigger lever is provided on each of the spindles which is responsive to the existence of ribbon on the associated spools so that the trigger lever drops into an operative position on depletion of the ribbon from the associated spool, and the switching bail is provided with two opposite camming surfaces adapted to engage the trigger levers in their operative dropped positions for swinging the switching bail into a position to engage the ratchet teeth of the spindle of the dropped trigger lever so as to wind ribbon onto this particular spool.
