本発明はインパクトプリンタ、タイプライタやベルト式
プリンタ等に使用するインクリボンカセットに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ink ribbon cassette for use in impact printers, typewriters, belt-type printers, and the like.
更に詳しくは、インク補給機構を有するインクリボンカ
セットに関する。More specifically, the present invention relates to an ink ribbon cassette having an ink replenishment mechanism.
近年パクトブリンタは、情報化社会の発展に伴い、経済
的で且つ信頼性の高いコンピュータの印字装置として、
広く普及してきた。In recent years, with the development of the information society, Pact Printer has become an economical and highly reliable computer printing device.
It has become widespread.
しかし、そのインクリボンの印字寿命が短いという問題
があり、その対策としてインク補給機構を有するインク
リボンカセットが、特開昭５５−６５５８５、実開昭５
８−１７１５５、実開昭５８−５７６８、実開昭５９−
２６３８３、実開昭６０−１９４６５等で提案されてい
る。However, there is a problem that the printing life of the ink ribbon is short, and as a countermeasure to this problem, an ink ribbon cassette with an ink replenishment mechanism has been developed.
8-17155, Utility Model 58-5768, Utility Model 59-
No. 26383, Utility Model Application Publication No. 19465/1986, etc.
しかしながら、何れの提案も、インクリボンの幅全面に
インクを補給する方法であるため、印字を進めるにつれ
て、インクリボンの中央部のインク保持量に対して、両
端部のそれが過剰となり、印字紙へ或はインクリボンカ
セットのインク汚れが生じるという課題を有している。However, in both proposals, ink is replenished over the entire width of the ink ribbon, so as printing progresses, the amount of ink retained at both ends becomes excessive compared to the center of the ink ribbon, causing the printing paper to become However, there is a problem in that ink stains may occur on the ink ribbon cassette or on the ink ribbon cassette.
そこで本発明の目的とするところは、長時間の連続印字
を行っても、インク汚れの発生しないインクリボンカセ
ットを提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ink ribbon cassette that does not cause ink stains even when continuous printing is performed for a long time.
本発明のインクリボンカセットは、インク貯蔵部材に含
浸させたインクを、転写ローラからインクリボンに供給
するインクリボンカセットに於て、転写ローラが軸に対
して水平方向の溝を有する事を特徴とする。The ink ribbon cassette of the present invention is characterized in that the ink ribbon cassette supplies the ink impregnated in the ink storage member to the ink ribbon from the transfer roller, and the transfer roller has a groove in the horizontal direction with respect to the shaft.
以下に実施例を挙げ、本発明を説明するが、これに限定
されるものではない。The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples, but it is not limited thereto.
本発明に用いられるインクは、従来公知のインクを使用
でき、またインクリボンを構成するリボン−生布も従来
公知のナイロン、ポリエステル、絹等を使用できる。As the ink used in the present invention, conventionally known inks can be used, and as the ribbon-raw cloth constituting the ink ribbon, conventionally known nylon, polyester, silk, etc. can be used.
第１図は本発明のインクリボンカセットの一実施例の正
面図であり、第２図はその断面図である。FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the ink ribbon cassette of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof.
以下、これらの図により本発明を説明する。The present invention will be explained below with reference to these figures.
インク貯蔵部材６のインク７は、転写ロールとの接触部
分で、毛細管力によりインクロール５に移行し上昇し、
インクロール５全体に含浸される。The ink 7 in the ink storage member 6 transfers to the ink roll 5 due to capillary force at the contact portion with the transfer roll and rises.
The entire ink roll 5 is impregnated.
インクロール５は多孔質部材からなり、多孔質部材は、
ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等の合成樹脂の粉末を焼
結して形成されるが、これに限定されるものではない。The ink roll 5 is made of a porous member, and the porous member is
It is formed by sintering powder of synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, but is not limited thereto.
インクロール５中のインクは、インクロール５と転写ロ
ール４の接触部分から、溝８が切られていることにより
転写ロール４の中央部のみに、選択的に移行する。The ink in the ink roll 5 is selectively transferred from the contact area between the ink roll 5 and the transfer roll 4 only to the central part of the transfer roll 4 because the grooves 8 are cut.
転写ロール４の表面上のインクは、転写ロール４とイン
クリボン２の接触部分から、インクリボン２の中央部に
移行する。The ink on the surface of the transfer roll 4 moves from the contact area between the transfer roll 4 and the ink ribbon 2 to the center of the ink ribbon 2.
以上、述べたように、本発明のインクリボンカセットは
、インク貯蔵部材に含浸させたインクを、転写ローラか
らインクリボンに供給するインクリボンカセットに於て
、転写ローラが軸に対して水平方向の溝を有することに
より、小型、軽量、安価な構成で、長時間の連続印字を
行っても、インク汚れの発生しないインクリボンカセッ
トを提供することができるという優れた効果を有する。As described above, in the ink ribbon cassette of the present invention, ink impregnated in the ink storage member is supplied from the transfer roller to the ink ribbon, and the transfer roller has a horizontal groove with respect to the shaft. This has the excellent effect of being able to provide an ink ribbon cassette that is small, lightweight, inexpensive, and does not cause ink stains even when continuous printing is performed for a long time.
