Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printer for recording media, with one across the transport path of the record carrier extending pressure beam, with at least one approximately over the entire length of the pressure beam extending ribbon cassette for recording and Transporting an endless ribbon, the two on their opposite End arranged deflector has between which is a section of ribbon outside the cassette runs, and with a between the pressure bar and the Ribbon cassette arranged, parallel to the print bar Movable printing device that a needle printhead for Printing on the record carrier and a guide device has a portion of the ribbon section passes the needle printhead.
  • a ribbon cartridge for use in a printer Such a printer and one usable therein Ribbon cartridges are known from US 3 977 512.
  • a printer of the type mentioned is used for printing of recording media such as individual sheets of paper, Continuous paper webs or fanfold paper webs used.
  • recording media such as individual sheets of paper, Continuous paper webs or fanfold paper webs used.
  • the pressure bar is usually made of metal manufactured profile element, whose at the back of the Record carrier adjacent printing surface with a elastic coating is provided.
  • the Printer a ribbon cartridge in which an ink soaked Continuous ribbon is recorded, with the ink of the Recording medium is printed.
  • the well-known ribbon cassette usually spans the entire Length of the pressure beam and has the pressure beam on it facing front two at their opposite Deflection elements arranged at the ends, for example arms or rollers, between which a ribbon section of the Continuous ribbon is stretched outside the cassette.
  • the Ribbon Within the ribbon is layered in a meandering pattern and passed through a device in which is soaked in ink.
  • the Printer transports one with the drive of the printer coupled transport device on the ribbon cassette the ribbon continuously through the ribbon cartridge through it.
  • Between the print bar and the ribbon cassette is also a movable parallel to the pressure bar Arranged printing device that a printhead like one Needle print head or a type wheel print head used to print on the record carrier. To do this by means of a guide device provided on the printing device a portion of the outside of the Ribbon cassette arranged ribbon section on Printhead passed.
  • the individual needles or types of Printhead according to image data supplied to the printer the ribbon against the one against the pressure bar Record carrier.
  • the invention has for its object a printer or to specify a ribbon cassette of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the ribbon is soiled is protected.
  • This task is solved for a printer in that the ribbon section running outside the ribbon cassette seen from the pressure bar behind the needle print head lies, and that on the needle printhead a housing is provided for the guide device in which the Section of the ribbon section is guided and that one facing the pressure bar in front of the printing device Opening that has the section of the ribbon section released for printing. Furthermore, the task by an ink ribbon cassette with the features of the claim 9 solved. Advantageous further developments result itself from the dependent subclaims.
  • the outside of the ribbon cassette running ribbon section with the greatest possible distance held to the print bar when the ribbon cassette is inserted in the printer. Dust that accumulates during the transport of the record carrier by the printer from the recording medium in the area of the pressure bar triggers, due to the large distance of the Ribbon section to the print bar only negligible to a small extent up to the ribbon section. At the same time, this prevents the printer from working on the printer provided housing a contamination of the near the pressure beam held in the guide device Section of the ribbon.
  • the ribbon section To protect against pollution is at least one near the outside of the ribbon cartridge running ribbon section, arranged above the same Provide web that is parallel to the pressure beam runs and with one of its narrow sides to the pressure beam shows. Through this additional web, the area between the printing device and the ribbon cassette protected from paper dust despite the large Distance to the ribbon section. Further is it is possible to add another web below the ribbon section to provide.
  • the web is rectangular in cross section, with its other narrow side on a pressure bar facing Front of the ribbon cassette attached and stands perpendicular from this. By attaching the web directly on the ribbon cassette, for example Glue or by integrating the web with the ribbon cassette is formed, the web is replaced with every replacement the ribbon cassette with replaced. Another It is possible to arrange the web in the printer in attaching the bar to the frame of the printer.
  • the printer has the guide device on the side facing away from the pressure beam Back of the printing device two rotatably mounted Guide rollers and two on both sides of the needle print head arranged, pivotally mounted, in front of the needle print head arranged section of the ribbon section exciting wings.
  • One of the two leadership roles directs the section of the ribbon section in the housing of the guide device.
  • the other of the two guide rollers leads the section from the Casing.
  • the use is rotatably mounted Guide rollers advantageous because the continuous ribbon underneath comparatively low tensile forces in the pressure device redirected and issued by this.
  • To the To further increase the positional accuracy of the section is also proposed at the management facility additionally between each leadership role and that to provide a further guide role for the adjacent rocker.
  • the ribbon becomes through these additional guide rollers defined held to the wings.
  • Both the first Leadership roles as well as the other leadership roles can be cylindrical or barrel-shaped his.
  • the Ribbon section with such a small distance to the Ribbon section facing the front of the ribbon cassette, that with the ribbon cartridge installed in the printer seen from the pressure bar behind the printing device lies, causing soiling of the continuous ribbon is prevented.
  • the two deflection elements on the opposite Ends of the ribbon cartridge preferably on the the front facing the ribbon section rotatably mounted Pulleys.
  • the axes of rotation of the pulleys run parallel in this preferred embodiment to the front of the ribbon cartridge and are vertical aligned to the longitudinal direction of the ribbon section. Due to the rotatable bearing of the pulleys and their symmetrical arrangement to the longitudinal direction of the ribbon section the continuous ribbon is comparatively exposed to low tensile forces, increasing the lifespan of the continuous ribbon is increased.
  • pulleys can also be used, the rounded arms free ends parallel to the front of the ribbon cartridge and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ribbon section run.
