本発明は、熱転写プリンタのインクリボンカートリッジ
に関し、特にインクリボンに生ずる静電気除去に関する
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ink ribbon cartridge for a thermal transfer printer, and more particularly to removing static electricity generated in the ink ribbon.
従来、この種のインクリボンカートリッジは、インクリ
ボンに帯電した静電気をインクリボン巻き取り部におい
て導電性シートを用いて除去していた。Conventionally, this type of ink ribbon cartridge removes static electricity charged on the ink ribbon using a conductive sheet in the ink ribbon winding section.
上述した従来の熱転写プリンタのインクリボンカートリ
ッジは、インクリボンの巻き取り部にて導電性シートを

帯電した静電気の放電により印字ヘッドが破壊されると
いう欠点が有る。The ink ribbon cartridge of the conventional thermal transfer printer described above has a structure in which a conductive sheet is used at the ink ribbon winding section to remove static electricity that is charged on the ink ribbon at the ink ribbon winding section. Although it is effective in preventing step winding and sticking due to static electricity, it has the disadvantage that sticking and wrinkles occur in the printed area and the print head is destroyed due to discharge of static electricity charged in the ink ribbon.
