Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ribbon cassette with ribbon drive elements arranged inside the cassette housing, which consist on the inlet side of at least one drivable rotatably mounted roller and a friction-generating element between the roller and the ribbon, the drivable roller being connected to a coupling piece passing through the cassette housing, further on that Outlet side with a brake body that can be switched on and off for the ribbon that runs out during operation and with a detachable cover of the cassette housing.
  • Such ribbon cartridges are considered after replacement of the ribbon as replacement modules in typewriters, printers, especially in matrix printers and. Like. Office machines.
  • the replacement of the complete ribbon cassette makes it easier to change the ribbon, but at the same time leads to problems of economy.
  • an endless ribbon can be inserted directly from its detachable packaging when the cassette housing is open at the top, and in that the rotatably mounted, drivable roller is assigned a pressing element that can be moved from the outside into the operating position or into the operating position.
  • an improvement of the invention provides that the pressure element consists of a rotatably mounted pressure roller that can be moved into or out of the operating position.
  • the displaceable, rotatable pressure roller extend in and along a longitudinal or parallel to the cassette housing side wall this guided slide is pivoted. Neither the pressure roller nor the slide take up any significant space, so that there is no loss of space for the correspondingly long ribbon due to these parts.
  • Another improvement of the invention is achieved in that the slide is under the force of a spring in the longitudinal direction and parallel to the cassette housing side wall.
  • the exchange of the used ribbon for a fresh ribbon is also facilitated in that the brake body can also be moved from the outside of the cassette housing into a removal position for the endless ribbon by the force of a spring pressing the brake body against abutment during operation and the brake body can be locked even in an open position. After engaging the brake body and putting the pressure element out of operation and after lifting the cover, a user-friendly insertion of the endless ink ribbon into the office machine cassette housing is guaranteed.
  • the ribbon cassette according to the invention is advantageously designed in such a way that the cassette housing is closed by means of an otherwise flat cover provided with recesses for the locking means or the driven roller.
  • the ribbon cassette has a cassette housing 1 with a detachable flat cover 2.
  • the endless ink ribbon 3 can be kept in one color or can have several color sections.
  • Ribbon drive elements consist on the inlet side 4 of the drivable rotatably mounted roller 5, on the coupling piece 6 (or on the opposite end, which is located on the underside of the cassette housing 1) the rotary drive of the office machine attacks.
  • the used endless ribbon 3 is exchanged for a fresh endless ribbon 3 as described below.
  • the used endless ribbon 3 is removed and disposed of in the waste.
  • the fresh endless ink ribbon 3 is simply removed from its cardboard box by inserting the approximately 15 cm long loop 3a into the brake body gap 8a and into the gap between the pressing element 9 and the roller 5.
  • the brake body 8 and the pressing element 9 are brought back into the operating position (FIG. 1), and the cover 2 is put on, the latter resting against the above projections la of the cassette housing 1 with recesses 2a.
  • the cover 2 is with further recesses 2b for the roller 5b-zw. the coupling piece 6 and provided with recesses 2c for the locking means 10.
  • the ribbon cassette is fixed to the cassette housing 1 in the office machine housing by means of centering pins 11 (FIG. 2).
  • the pressure element 9 is located on the inlet side 4, in the outermost region, so that the space 12 is completely reserved for the endless ribbon 3.
  • it is designed as a rotatably mounted pressure roller 9a, the axis of rotation of which runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the driven roller 5.
  • the pressure roller 9a is rotatably mounted in the slide 13 and provided with indentations 9b, which such indentations 5a of the roller 5 are opposite.
  • the effective sections of the roller 5 are formed by 0-rings 14 made of plastic.
  • the height of the space 12 corresponds to the width of the continuous ribbon 3, so that the cover 2 guides the continuous ribbon 3 upwards.
  • the slide 13 runs along or parallel to the cassette housing side wall 1b. At least two projections 13a and 13b are formed on the slide 13, of which the projection 13a serves as an actuating lever and the projection 13b together with the longitudinal opening 1c serve as a guide for the slide.
  • the slider 13 and the like by additional paragraphs. be designed to snap into place.
  • the slide 13 is also under the force of the spring 16, which pulls the slide in the longitudinal direction and parallel to the cassette housing side wall 1b in the operating position and is therefore designed as a tension spring.
  • the brake body 8 is also held by means of abutments 8b and 8c and by means of latching recesses 1d or le by latching outside the operating position and, after being released by the compression spring 15 or after the brake body gap 8a being released, is brought into the operating position.
  • the effect of the spring 15 is therefore canceled by the fact that the brake body 8 with its abutments 8b, 8c is locked in the locking recesses ld, le.
  • the spring 15 is supported against the inside of the brake body 8 and against the cassette housing side wall 1b.
