摘要:
A small and light-weight serial printer adapted to portable electric-powered typewriters and output devices of personal computers. The serial printer of the present invention requires a reduced number of drive sources and is simply constructed. The serial printer further possesses a small and light-weight carriage which does not mount drive sources such as motors or electromagnets and which does not mount a hammering mechanism, either.

A printer, suitable for operation by an electric computer, includes a traveling carriage. The carriage carries a type-head that is vertically and rotatably shiftable to properly orient a type element for printing. Movement of the carriage, as well as vertical and rotary movement of the type-head is produced by the use of cables actuated by electromagnets. The type-head is selectively shiftable to three vertically spaced positions and selectively rotatable to eight angular positions by vertically movable levers having cables controlling their ends. Stops are provided on the carriage for precisely locating the type-head in its vertical and angular positions.A movable stop mechanism prevents the carriage from overrunning its incremental positions of step-by-step movement. Release of the carriage drive to retract the carriage to a new starting position is accomplished by activation of the platen advancing mechanism.
摘要:
A printer which includes a movable type body and a solenoid system to move the type body is provided. The solenoid system comprises a plurality of opposing pairs of solenoids, each pair being connected together so as to provide simultaneous displacement of both solenoids in a pair when one of the solenoids of a pair is energized. The several pairs of solenoids are interrelated with respect to their relative displacements and the sum of all of the displacements is transmitted to the type body for selection of a position on the type body. The solenoid system may include a pulley system or a differential lever system for the purposes of transmitting the sum of the displacements to the type body.
