CARBON RIBBON SUPPLY PACKAGE Filed Oct. 28, 1964 "lll'l I l I I 23 fff Elf/lu INVENTORS JOHN C. BROADWELL SEBASTIAN J. URSO ATTORNEYS d4. 0M; HN/a B United States Patent O 3,294,228 CARBON RIBBON SUPPLY PACKAGE Sebastian J. Urso and John C. Broadwell, Hartford,
Conn., assignors, by mesne assignments, to Royal Typewriter Company, Inc., New York, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Oct. 28, 1964, Ser. No. 407,128 6 Claims. (Cl. 206-52) This invention relates to a carbon ribbon supply package; more particularly it relates to a carbon ribbon supply package constructed to house a core Wound carbon ribbon for shipment and for functional operation in a typewriter; and specically it relates to a package for enclosing a core-wound carbon ribbon characterized by an integrally formed flange, mounting support and a bearing support for the ribbon core.
Heretofore c ore wound carbon ribbons were shipped and stored in boxes from which the ribbons were removed, assembled together with ilanges or their equivalent provided with the typewriter, and operatively mounted on a bearing stud secured to the typewriter. The carbon ribbon was then threaded through the ribbon vibrator at the printing point of the machine and secured to a take up reel. These core wound ribbons were subject to treeing during handling, that is the wound ribbon coils had a tendency to move perpendicular to a radial plane and assume a conical shape which would impair freedom of rotation when mounted between stationary guide flanges. Further, the outer loops of the coiled ribbon had a tendency to fall off during mounting when a lead portion was drawn olf to thread the ribbon in the typewriter. And further an operators hands were subject to being soiled while the lead portion of the ribbon was being threaded.
In accordance with the present invention, the disadvantages of the prior art are overcome in the provision of a core wound ribbon which is mounted on the hollow cylindrical hub integrally formed with a rst or outer guide flange, after which a cup shaped cover which may serve as the inner guide flange is suitably peripherally joined to the rst flange thereby to enclose the entire ribbon; the cup shaped cover being provided with an exit for the carbon ribbon when the whole is operatively mounted in the machine. Inasmuch as the thickness in an axial direction of the corel wound ribbon is less than the axial length of the bearing hub on the guide flange to permit freedom of rotation, the core may shift axially back and forth within the container during shipment and handling with consequent treeing of the ribbon which would impair its free rotation when mounted. Accordingly, a feature of the invention is in the provision of an opening in the cup shaped cover to permit the easy insertion and withdrawal of a novel spacer adjacent the outer guide ange to prevent axial movement of the wound ribbon relative to its core duringshipment.
A further feature of the invention is in the provision of a non-inked leader which is removably attached as by adhesive to the lead section of the carbon ribbon whereby upon removal of the spacer and after the assembly is mounted on the machine the non-inked leader may be threaded through the machine and secured to a take-up reel.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a package for a carbon ribbon which serves as a packaging and shipping container and also as a functional container for the ribbon While in the machine.
Another object of the invention is in the provision of a carbon ribbon package which facilitates installation while preventing the unravelling of the ribbon during installation and operation.
Still another object of the invention is in the provision "ice of a carbon ribbon package which permits clean change and threading of the carbon ribbon.
Still another object of the invention is in the provision of a carbon ribbon package which maintains the core wound ribbon cylindrical during shipping and handling prior to installation on a typewriter.
A further object of the invention is to provide a functional carbon ribbon guide and housing which improves feed and tracking of a carbon ribbon.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the figures thereof and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of a carbon ribbon housed by the novel structure of the invention showing the anti-treeing spacer;
FIGURE 2 is an assembled View of the carbon ribbon package in association with mounting elements provided with the typewriter; n
FIGURE 3 is an exploded cross sectional view taken along lines 2-2 of FIGURE l;
FIGURE 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along lines 4 4 of FIGURE l showing the container fastening structure with the spacer removed;
FIGURE 5 is a view similar to FIGURE 4 with the spacer mounted; and
FIGURE 6 is partial cross sectional view taken along lines 6 6 of FIGURE 1.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate like or corresponding elements throughout the several views there is shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 a core wound carbon ribbon container generally designated by reference numeral 10 comprising an outer flange 11 and a cup shaped cover comprising an outer flange 12 and an annular portion 13 facing the ange 11 and adapted to maintain the anges 11 and 12 spaced to accommodate a core wound ribbon. As viewed in FIG- URE 2 the central portion of the llange 11 is open and formed with an inturned annulus or sleeve 14 coaxial with the flange whose periphery serves as the bearing hub for the core 15 of a carbon ribbon 16 wound thereon. The inner periphery of the annulus is joined as by a web 17 to an inner cylindrical sleeve 18 which is adapted to be mounted on a post in the form of a shouldered screw 19 adapted to be threaded into the right side of the machine frame 20 with the ange 11 outermost as viewed in FIGURE 2. As viewed in FIGURE 3 the axial length of sleeve 18 is such that it is recessed from the plane of flange 11 to accommodate the head of screw 19 and extends beyond the inturned edge of annulus 14 whereby it may it within a circular centrally located hole 21 in cover flange 12.
Referring again to FIGURE l the ange 11 is provided with equi-spaced peripheral projections 22 provided with slots 23 adapted to receive associated cooperating detents 24 so formed on the annular portion 13 of the cup shaped cover, as viewed in FIGURES 2' and 6, as to be capable of tlexure whereby the outwardly hooked ends 25 thereof will detent the cover and flange 11. Further as viewed in FIGURE 1 the peripheral edge of the flange 11Y is provided with a pair of spaced cutouts 26 adapted to receive locator projections 27 formed on and extending beyond the edge 28 of the annular portion 13 of the cup shaped cover; the annular portion of the cover between said locator projections being. cut away thereby dening an exit 3) for the ribbon 16 whose lead end 31 is secured as viewed in FIGUREl to a non-inked leader 32 as by adhesive tape or the like and the latter itself being provided on its lead end 33 with adhesive to secure it to the uninked periphery of the wound ribbon or to itself, depending on its length, to prevent unravelling during asvsembly and storage.
Referring to FIGURE 4 the detent projections `24 are made of suicient length so that the underside 34 of the hooked ends 25 permit relative movement between the cover and flange 11 to permit withdrawal of a spacer generally designated by reference numeral 35 which is adapted to be placed over the mounted wound ribbon prior to assembly of the cover to correct for any treeing or, after assembly of the cover, to be inserted between edge 28 of the annulus 13 and the guide liange 11 thereby to hold the wound ribbon 16 secure against axial movement within the assembly. As viewed in FIGURE 1 the spacer 35 is generally circular and may be imprinted on one side `so as to be visible through the transparent guide liange 11 formed from suitable plastic as is the cover and the ribbon core in a preferred embodiment. The spacer 35 is provided with a linger tab 36 extending from an edge thereof and is formed with a cut away 37 comprising a first straight slot extending from within the tab area toward the center of the spacer, and a second coextensive arcuate cut away 38 which encompasses said sleeve 14 and diverges toward and opens to the edge opposite said nger tab 36.
As viewed in FIGURE 6 the cover annulus 13 is cut away as at 39 to provide an opening to accommodate thel finger tab 36 of the inserted spacer which is generally slightly thicker than the play (FIGURE 4) between the undersurface 34 of the detents 24 and liange 11; the plastic having suicient flexure to permit withdrawal of the spacer 35. The additional thickness of the inserted spacer 35 as viewed in FIGURE 5 holds the carbon ribbon 16 secured against axial movement. By grasping the finger tab 36 and pulling, the diverging arcuate portion of the slot is cammed open by the sleeve 14 as the spacer 35 is withdrawn; the portions 40 of the spacer adjacent the root of the cut away 37 within the finger tab 36 being sufiiciently flexible to permit the opening of the composite slot and withdrawal of the spacer prior to mounting on the machine. As viewed in FIGURE l the cup shaped cover may be provided with propections 41 dening a slot to receive a locating pin 42 extending from the frame and adapted to hold the package stationary relative to the machine frame where the shouldered screw 19 is loosely received within sleeve 18.
Alternatively where it is desired to dispense with the cup shaped cover and utilize t-he machine frame as an inner guide ange, the cup shaped cover may be removed prior to mounting the carbon ribbon and the hubbed ange may be mounted on a spindle and clamped between a headed screw and the machine frame.
It should be understood that the foregoing disclosure relates to only a preferred embodiment of the invention and that it is intended to cover all changes and modiiicatures from the spirit and scope of the invention.
