Abstract

The hammer comprises a solenoid including a stationary magnetic structure 50 with an opening extending therethrough and a movable magnetic structure 54 adapted to move through the opening. The movable magnetic structure 54 is accelerated by the flux path from the stationary magnetic structure 50 and through the movable magnetic structure as the gap between the movable and stationary magnetic structures closes such that the movable magnetic structure 54 is in substantially unobstructed free flight before the impact area 58 coupled to the movable magnetic structure strikes a character element (not shown) against a platen (not shown). The impact area 58 may be connected to the structure 54 by a rigid non-magnetic member 60. <IMAGE>
