Description

IMPRDSNTE UNIVERSELLE h DOUBLE ENTRAINEIZEN t) PIPIER
POUR IMPRESSION A PLAT, A L'HORIZONTALE.UNIVERSAL IMPRDSNTE h DOUBLE DRIVED t) PIPIER
FOR FLAT, HORIZONTAL PRINTING.

La presente invention concerne l'imprimante d'ordinateur mixte È double entraînement de papier, pour impression à plat, sur deux supports distincts, simultanement.The present invention relates to a dual paper dual purpose computer printer for flat printing on two separate media simultaneously.

Les deux dispositifs sont juxtaposés, de largeur variable et permutables, c'est à dire, placés indifféremment comme entraSnement principal, ou secondaire, et obeissant de ce fait à de commandes différentes. Chaque dispositif est capable de piloter les supports de forme différente: continus en paravent ou en rouleau, et discontinus de taille variée. Ceci a pour objectif, une meilleure integration de l'imprimante dans ur. poste de travail, du point de vue érgonomique, ainsi qu'une souplesse pour les applications très variées.The two devices are juxtaposed, of variable width and permutable, that is to say, placed indifferently as main or secondary drive, and obeying thereby fact of different commands. Each device is able to control the supports of different shape: continuous in screen or in roll, and discontinuous of varied size. This aims to better integrate the printer into ur. workstation, from an ergonomic point of view, as well as flexibility for a wide variety of applications.

La figure 1. represente, en coupe, le mécanisme selon invention.Figure 1. shows, in section, the mechanism according to the invention.

n comporte un tablier plat (1X pour le passage du papier sans déformation, avec une enclume de frappe (2), integrée.n has a flat apron (1X for the passage of paper without deformation, with a striking anvil (2), integrated.

Le passage du papier dans la machine se fait, comme l'indiquent les flèches, à l'horizontale.The paper passes through the machine, as indicated by the arrows, horizontally.

les supports à imprimer discontinus, et continus sans perforation
CAROLL, sont pilotés par un entratnement à friction.discontinuous and continuous printing media without perforation
CAROLL, are driven by a friction drive.

I1 comporte: un cylindre motorisé (3), integré dans le tablier (1), et des leviers presseurs (4), articulés sur un arbre carré (6) qui commande la descente et la montée des galets presseurs (5)*
La pression exercée par les galets presseurs est reglable au niveau de chaque levier. Les leviers articulés (4) sont mobiles suivant l'axe de l'arbre carré (6) et peuvent être disposés, selon les besoins. L'arbre carré peut comporter deux, ou plusieurs, leviers (4), en fonction des largeurs de machines et de supports utilisés.I1 includes: a motorized cylinder (3), integrated in the deck (1), and pressure levers (4), articulated on a square shaft (6) which controls the descent and the rise of the pressure rollers (5) *
The pressure exerted by the pressure rollers is adjustable at each lever. The articulated levers (4) are movable along the axis of the square shaft (6) and can be arranged, as required. The square shaft can have two or more levers (4), depending on the widths of machines and supports used.

Deux capteurs opto-éléctroniques, intégrés dans le tablier, assurent la détéction de la presence du papier introduit, son avance et l'arrêt précis, sur la première ligne d'écriture. Après l'impression, les formulaires sont éjéctés, sur demande, vers l'avant ou l'arrière de la machine.Two optoelectronic sensors, integrated in the apron, ensure the detection of the presence of the paper introduced, its advance and the precise stop, on the first writing line. After printing, the forms are ejected, on request, to the front or rear of the machine.

Un deuxième entrainement papier, pour les supports continus à perforation CAROLL, est composé d'un tracteur à picots (13) détachable, à l'écartement variable, et de frein papier (15), fixé sur un étrier (14), enfichable sur l'arbre carré (6).T'arbre carré peut comporter un ou plusieurs segments de frein papier, disposés selon le besoin.A second paper drive, for CAROLL perforated continuous supports, is composed of a detachable tractor (13), with variable spacing, and paper brake (15), fixed on a caliper (14), pluggable on the square shaft (6). The square shaft may include one or more paper brake segments, arranged as required.

Grâce à cette disposition de la traction et du freinage, le papier est tendu et bien plaqué sur l'enclume de frappe (2), devant la tête d'écriture (7).Thanks to this arrangement of traction and braking, the paper is stretched and well pressed on the striking anvil (2), in front of the writing head (7).

L'engagement de frein papier (15), se fait par le déplacement.vertical, sur l'arbre carré (6)1 des étriers enfichables (14).The paper brake engagement (15) is done by vertical displacement on the square shaft (6) 1 of the plug-in calipers (14).

La tête d'écriture (7), est fixée sur un chariot (9), qui peut se déplacer parallèlement,devant le papier, guidée par les glissières (10
Le déplacement de la tête par les mouvements alternés, autorise l'écri- ture bidirectionnelle, à déplacement optimisé, en fonction des longueurs de lignes,
Au-dessus de' chariot de tête (9), dans un espace, qui lui est imparti, se déplace un cable éléctrique plat (11), par lequel la tête d'écriture mobile, est alimentée en courant.The writing head (7) is fixed on a carriage (9), which can move parallel, in front of the paper, guided by the slides (10
The displacement of the head by alternating movements, authorizes bidirectional writing, with optimized displacement, according to the lengths of lines,
Above the head carriage (9), in a space which is allocated to it, moves a flat electrical cable (11), by which the movable writing head is supplied with current.

Le dernièr étage est occupé,par la cassette ruban (12) de grande capacité, entraînée par le même dispositif (16), que la tête d'écriture. Le déploiment du ruban (8), devant la tête, est régit par deux dispositifs de renvoi (17), qui par articulation autour d'un point precis, permettent le balayage de la totalité de la surface du ruban, par bandes successives.The last stage is occupied by the large capacity ribbon cassette (12), driven by the same device (16), as the writing head. The deployment of the ribbon (8), in front of the head, is governed by two deflection devices (17), which by articulation around a precise point, allow the scanning of the entire surface of the ribbon, by successive bands.

On peut imprimer ainsi en plusieurs couleurs, en utilisant du ruban multicolore We can thus print in several colors, using multicolored ribbon
