Definitions

  • This invention relates to an impact printer for selectively printing information directly onto a print medium moving past a print location.
  • the electromechanic printing device according to FR-1 446 799 comprises a flexible belt movably supported by two wheels.
  • the belt is provided with printing elements.
  • An impact device strikes the printing elements for producing characters on a printing medium.
  • the 3,915,276 patent is referenced because it . shows an impact printer with print elements on a rotatable belt but uses a ribbon and does not print in color.
  • the 3,672,297 patent is of the same type as the 3,915,276 reference.
  • the 4,056,183 patent shows a matrix printer using a rotatable inked platen and the 4,069,755 patent shows a matrix wire printer using a rotatable ink stamp without a ribbon.
  • the 4,191,104 patent shows a printer with a rotating belt with print elements thereon.
  • the 4,194,846 patent shows an impact matrix printer wherein ink from a reservoir is directed to a printing element. No ribbon is used and no rotatable belt is employed.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an impact printer that does not require a ribbon.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a ribbonless impact printer that prints in color.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a ribbonless impact color printer that prints in an all points addressable matrix mode.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide an all-points addressable ribbonless impact matrix color printer that incorporates ball-point print elements.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide an all-points addressable ribbonless impact matrix color printer that incorporates ball-point print elements on a rotating belt.
  • ball-point print elements 10 are mounted, for example molded, onto rotatable belt 12 with a predetermined spacing between the print elements.
  • Belt 12 is rotated continuously by drive pulley 26.
  • Print hammers 14 are placed behind paper 16 (FIG. 3) which is moved by paper drive mechanism 20.
  • Each ball-point print element 10 has an ink reservoir 18 (FIG. 3) or alternatively, several print elements may share one common ink reservoir separated into different chambers, each containing different color ink.
  • the ball-point print elements may be standard ball pen tips.
  • the resultant printing format on paper 16 is a function of the speed of print belt 12 and paper 16, the spacing between print elements 10, and the width and repetition rate of print hammers 14.
  • a line printer of 380 lines per minute is achieved.
  • faster printing speed can be achieved by mounting the ball-point print elements, onto the surface of a rotating cylinder as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the structure of FIG. 4, as in FIGS. 1, and 3, includes ball-point print elements 10, print hammers 14, paper 16, ink compartments 18, paper drive mechanism 20, and a shield or platen structure 24.
  • the printer may be embodied using either a rotating flexible belt or a rotating cylinder.
