成されている。EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a ribbon cassette holding device according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, in order to attach and hold the ribbon cassette 1, the carriage body 2 is provided with a latch member 3 for positioning and holding the ribbon cassette 1 in the left-right direction.
A pair of hooking members 4 are provided on the carriage body 2 for positioning and holding in the mounting direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of locking members 4 are integrally formed with elastic locking pieces that bias in the mounting direction when the ribbon cassette 1 is mounted. It is symmetrically formed so that both can be used in common.

述の逆動作となるだけである。As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusions 1-4 provided with high precision on the ribbon cassette 1 deform the elastic locking pieces of the pair of locking members 4 when the ribbon cassette 1 is installed, and move downward. After the ribbon cassette 1 has been positioned and maintained in the mounting direction, the protrusion 1-& is elastically urged in the mounting direction. Regarding the removal of the ribbon cassette 1, the above-mentioned operation is simply reversed.
以上のような構成をとることによりリボンカセット１の

Furthermore, the installation of the pair of locking members 4 is extremely easy, and the positional accuracy of the installation is very high. Further, the biasing force in the mounting direction of the ribbon cassette 1 can be adjusted to a desired biasing force and click feeling by adjusting the thickness of the elastic locking pieces of the pair of locking members 40.

有利なものである。Effects of the Invention As described above, the ribbon cassette holding device of the present invention includes a latch member on the carriage body that positions and holds the ribbon cassette in the horizontal direction, and a pair of latch members that position and hold the ribbon cassette in the vertical direction. By integrally forming an elastic locking piece on the member that urges the ribbon cassette downward when the ribbon cassette is attached, and forming it in a left-right symmetrical shape so that it can be used in both cases, it is possible to Simple and highly accurate positioning and holding can be achieved without using elastic members such as springs. Therefore, the cost of the ribbon cassette holding device can be significantly reduced in addition to the fact that it can be used in both directions, and it is also expected that the handling efficiency will be improved.
Furthermore, it is extremely advantageous in practice as a ribbon cassette holding device for printers, etc., which greatly contributes to space saving of the entire device.
