Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing ribbon cassette for a typewriter, consisting of a housing containing a supply reel on which the ribbon is wound and a take-up reel cooperating with drive means and intended to receive the used ribbon, means for braking the supply reel being provided for producing a tension of the ribbon between the two reels, this cassette comprising a blocking mechanism for the take-up reel intended to prevent the unwinding of this reel when the cassette is removed from the typewriter, this mechanism comprising a locking lever whose spout cooperates elastically with the teeth of a toothed wheel.
  • a cassette of this kind is already known (European patent application No. 0042955).
  • two locking levers are integral with the take-up reel and cooperate with a toothing carried by the casing of the cassette.
  • This arrangement has the disadvantage that the locking levers, in rotation when the cassette is mounted on the machine, cannot be moved away from the teeth in a simple manner.
  • this arrangement makes the manufacture and assembly of the housing and the take-up reel complicated.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and it is characterized, for this purpose, in that the toothed wheel is integral with the take-up reel and in that the blocking lever came in one piece with the housing, this lever comprising an exposed portion for cooperating with a member intended to disengage said spout from the toothing when the cassette is mounted on the typewriter.
  • the ribbon cassette comprises a housing 1 comprising a cover 3 which fits onto a bottom 2, a supply reel 4 on which a printing ribbon 6 is wound and a take-up reel 5 around which the used ribbon is wound.
  • the supply reel 4 is superimposed coaxially with the take-up reel 5, which is rotated by drive means 7 external to the cassette.
  • the supply reel 4 has braking means for producing a certain tension in the printing ribbon 6.
  • These braking means are constituted by a spring steel wire 8 comprising a braking loop 31 acting on the hub 12 of the supply coil 4, with one end 9 anchored in the housing, with one end 10 having a spout 11
  • the printing ribbon 6 forms a loop passing around the folded end 10 of the steel wire 8 guided in height by the spout 11 before being driven on the guide 13 and through the optical reader 14.
  • the optical reader 14 intended to detect the end of the ribbon. 6 comprises a light source 15, an optoelectronic detector 16 and a light conducting member 17.
  • the source 15 and the detector 16 are fixed to the typewriter, while the member 17 came in one piece with the bottom 2 of casing 3 of the cassette.
  • This body is constituted by two light guides 18 and 19 of prismatic shape.
  • the upper ends of the two guides have two faces oriented substantially at 45 o from the axis of the guides so as to reflect the light from one of the guides towards the other.
  • the printing ribbon 6 passes between the two upper faces of the light guides 18 and 19. It is normally opaque, but has a transparent termination. When this termination reaches the optical reader 17, the light flux coming from the source 15 is transmitted by the ribbon and the other guide 19 to reach the optoelectronic detector 16.
  • the latter emits a signal at this moment, capable of acting, after adequate amplification, on the one hand on a switch not shown allowing the printing to stop and on the other hand on an optical or sound signaling device, not illustrated.
  • the case 1 has two extensions 20 and 21, the ends of which are open and have guide pieces 22 and 23.
  • the portion of tape 6 located outside the case 1 between the guide pieces 22 and 23 is intended to be engaged in a fork and a tape guide, not shown, of a typewriter designed to receive the cassette.
  • the ribbon then passes over a guide piece 24 and is wound on the take-up reel 5.
  • the cassette has a blocking mechanism 25 of the take-up reel 5 intended to prevent the unwinding of the latter when the cassette is removed from the machine. to write.
  • This mechanism 25 is constituted by a lever 26 comprising a spout 27 intended to engage between the teeth 28 of a toothed wheel 29 angularly integral with the take-up reel 5.
  • the lever 26 is made of an elastic material, for example a resin synthetic, and came in one piece with the bottom 2 of the housing 1. It is arranged so as to press its beak 27 in a flexible manner against the toothing 28.
  • the housing 1 has for this purpose an opening 32 for passage of the member 30 and the lever 26, coming in one piece with the edge of this opening, extends towards the center of the latter.
