Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ink ribbon cassette according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a number of different ribbon cassettes with two ribbon winding cores are known, in which the ribbon is rewound from a ribbon winding core carrying the supply reel past the print head onto a winding core.
  • ribbon cassettes can be used either in single use or in multiple use. In multiple operation, the cassette is turned after each ribbon pass, so that the ribbon is transported in the opposite direction during the next pass.
  • Such reversible cartridges must therefore be constructed such that the printhead and capstan drive shaft find corresponding openings in the cassette both in the first and in the second reversing position.
  • the present invention is based on the object of designing an ink ribbon cassette for multiple operation in such a way that it can be easily implemented in terms of its construction and yet allows certain possible variations for different functions.
  • the figure shows a rectangular ribbon cassette 1, which consists of two identically designed housing shells and contains two winding cores 2, 3, which can be plugged onto two drive mandrels.
  • a rectangular ribbon cassette 1 which consists of two identically designed housing shells and contains two winding cores 2, 3, which can be plugged onto two drive mandrels.
  • On one longitudinal edge are two, based on the center line between the two tape winding cores Symmetrically arranged openings 4, 5 are provided, at which the ink ribbon 7, which is deflected several times over rollers 6, is moved past.
  • the ink ribbon 7 is unwound from the tape winding core 2, which carries the supply reel 9, and wound onto the tape winding core 3.
  • the approximately rectangular openings 4, 5 are so large that, as can be seen in the opening 5, a print head 8 can dip into the ink ribbon cassette 1 behind the ink ribbon 7.
  • the ribbon cassette 1 also has an approximately U-shaped opening 10, 11 on each of the two narrow sides, into which a light barrier 12 and a capstan drive roller 13 are immersed when the ribbon cassette 1 is inserted into a printing device.
  • the capstan drive shaft 13, together with a counter-roller 14, provides for the transport of the ribbon 7, a slip clutch in the capstan drive shaft 13 causing the ribbon speed, which is higher per se, to be adapted to the lower transport speed of the print template 8 moving past the print head 8.
  • the drive for the capstan drive shaft 13 coupled drive for the tape winding core 3 is also set by a slip clutch so that there is only a small drive torque for the tape winding core 3.
  • the end of the tape is monitored with the light barrier 12 provided in the opening 10, the position of the light barrier 12 relative to the print head 8 being selected such that all documents already on the way to the printing station can still be printed in the event of a tape end message before the end of the tape the print head 8 reached.
  • the ink ribbon cassette 1 can be turned over, the print head 8 being immersed in the opening 4, the capstan drive shaft 13 in the opening 10 and the light barrier 12 in the opening 11.
  • the completely symmetrical ribbon cassette 1 has on both sides a viewing slot 15 running radially to one of the ribbon winding cores, from which the ribbon supply still available can be read.
  • a plurality of detents 16 distributed around the circumference of the ribbon cassette 1 are provided in the connecting plane between the two housing shells in order to be able to sufficiently fix the ribbon cassette 1 in the printing position.
