Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paper feed arrangement in printers which are provided with a cylindrical platen and advancing means for advancing a printing medium in the form of a paper web or the like, engagement between the advancing means and the paper web taking place either in front of, or both in front and behind, the platen with respect to the advancing direction of the web.
- the printing medium is usually a paper web with perforations at its edges for advancing the web.
- the movement of the latter in relation to the print position of the printer is obtained by advancing means provided with teeth cooperating with the perforations in the paper such as to advance the web forwards or backwards relative the print position.
- advancing means provided with teeth cooperating with the perforations in the paper such as to advance the web forwards or backwards relative the print position.
- tractor feeders are usual on the market and are known, inter alia, from the US patent specification 3 825 162.
- Tractor feed is mainly of two types, single or push-pull traction.
- the paper web is moved with the aid of the tractor feeder via conducting means past a cylindrical or flat platen, against which printing is performed.
- push-pull traction the feed to the print position takes place in the same way as for single traction, but down-stream of the print position the perforations in the paper web are brought into engagement with an other section of the feeder where the teeth move in the opposite direction to those advancing the paper web towards the print position, thus obtaining an advance away from the position as a supplement to the paper advance in a single- traction feeder.
- the object of the invention is to solve the above problem by providing between paper web and platen sufficient friction to prevent relative movement therebetween when a line is being printed.
- the parts of a printer which are only schematically illustrated in Figure 1, include a tractor feeder 1 which advances a paper web 2 via a deflecting means 3 and two conducting members 4 and 5 to a cylindrical platen 6.
- the web 2 accompanies the rotation of the platen 6 to a print position 7 with the aid of two counter-pressure rollers 8 and 9 and two conducting members 10 and 11.
- the web 2 is then advanced out of the printer between two conducting plates 12 and 13.
- An unillustrated drive means includes a motor driving the platen via spur gearing.
- the means also drives the tractor feeder 1 via second spur gearing between the platen and feeder.
- the ratio between the two sets of spur gearing is selected such that the peripheral rate of the platen is somewhat higher than the advancing rate of the feeder, the difference being about 0,2 %.
- the two counter-pressure rollers 8 and 9 constitute parts of a friction means. They are mounted in two U-shaped cheek plates 14, which are kept together by a shaft 15. The shaft is radially guided by two projections 16 and 17 on the conducting member 10.
- the friction means further includes an unillustrated operating means for determining the position in height of the shaft 15 via a rod 18. In an upper position the two rollers 8 and 9 engage against the platen 6 with a force such that the friction force between the paper web and the platen prevents any relative movement between them. This force is equal to zero in a lower, unillustrated position of the shaft 15.
- the operating means functions so that the shaft 15 normally assumes its upper position.
- the operating means By controlling a printer carriage associated with the printer such that it moves to an extreme position outside the printing area the operating means is actuated to move the rod 18 downwards, the force between the rollers and the platen thus becoming zero.
- the printer carriage is controlled by a computer connected to the printer such as to assume the extreme position at about every 30th line shift.
- the platen advances the paper web somewhat further than the tractor feeder does.
- the length of paper web between the tractor feeder and platen is thus shortened, resulting in a tensional force in the paper web.
- This force is limited by the spring bias in a spring 19 co-acting with the deflecting means 3, which includes a bar disposed substantially transverse the advancing direction of the paper web and mounted on a shaft 20, such that the bar turns clockwise about the shaft at a line shift.
