PRINTER IN WHICH TYPE 15 PROJECTED AND TYPE HEAD MOVED TOWARD PLATEN Filed May 31, 1967 INVENTOR RENYWRO K! T05. IRO 5R HHKI ATTORNEY5 United States Patent 01 fice ABSTRACT on THE "DISCLOSURE Y Aprinter is disclosed as including an angularly and axially displaceable type drum. having types mounted thereon forradi al displacement andwith their type faces on the outer periphery of the drum. The drum is secured to an axially and angularlydisplaceable shaft operable by type selecting means. A sleeve slidably embraces theshaft andis fixed against rotation, and this sleeve carries a selecting ball rotati ngly engageable with the radially inner ends of the types to project the types radially outwardly as they are moved to a printing position in which they are aligned with a platen spaced from the drum. Operating means are connected to the sleeve to swing the sleeve, shaft and drum toward the platen to engage a selected type, projected radially outwardly by the selecting ball, with a paper or the like on the platen.
This invention relates to a printer.
An object of the present invention is to provide a high speed printer or more particularly a novel printer in which the operating stroke of types in typing is made short, the typing speed is increased and the selecting operation can set in immediately after the typing, and which is therefore adapted to high speed typing.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a printer embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a detailed perspective view of a type drum and a selecting mechanism in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial detailed side view of FIG. 2.
The type drum and selecting mechanism of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. In the drawing, 1 is a type drum having a thin cylindrical inside drum case 1a and outside drum case 1b. Types 2 are set between the above mentioned cases, the heads of the types are arranged along the peripheral surface of the drum and the supporting bars 2a of the types are projected toward the center axis of the drum 1 so that, when these supporting bars 2a are pushed with the later described selecting ball, the types may slide outward. 3 is a spring for returning each type 2.
Type drum is mounted on the upper threaded end 4a of an axially and angularly displaceable shaft 4 through the medium of a washer 5, a lock washer 6, and a nut 7. A cylindrical rack 8 is secured to the lower end of shaft 4 to rotate therewith, and a gear 9 is keyed to shaft 4 with shaft 4 being axially displaceable relative to gear 9. Rack 8 is moved axially by a vertical selection gear 11 fixed on a shaft 10.
The type driving shaft 4 is slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the rotary gear 9 but is fixed against rotation relative to gear 9.
The rotary gear 9 is rotated through a rotary driving gear 13 from a rotating direction selecting shaft 12 so that the rotation of the type driving shaft 4 may be controlled.
14 is a hollow pipe which has the above mentioned type driving shaft 4 slidably and rotatably inserted in- 7 3,406,807 Patented Oct. 22, 1968 side it as shown in FIG. 3, is integrally engaged at one end 14a with typing plate 23 (see FIG. 1) and is integrally fitted with a selecting ball receiver 15 at the other end 14b. A selecting ball 16 is fitted in a circular recess in the periphery of ball receiver plate 15, and is retained in position by upper and lower plates 17a and 17b, respectrvely, which operate conjointly with the recess 15a to provide a socket for ball 16 which is rotatable in the socket. As drum 1 is rotated or axially displaced, each type, as it comes into a printing position in alignment with the platen 18, is projected radially outwardly by engagement of ball 16 with the radially inner end of the type.
18 1s a platen,- 19 is a ribbon and 20 is a typing paper.
A typing mechanism embodying the present invention shall now be explained with reference to FIG. 1. 21 is a cam driving shaft connected with a typing clutch not illustrated. 22 is a typing cam. A typing plate or lever is indicated at 23 as pivotally mounted at one end on a pivot 23a and as having a roller or the like 23b on its opposite end engageable with the periphery of a typing cam 22 rotatable about the axis of a shaft 21. A tension spring 24 biases lever or plate 23 toward cam 22. Plate or lever 23 is fixedly secured to the part 14a of sleeve 14.
Therefore, by the selecting mechanism not illustrated, when the shaft 10 is rotated by a fixed amount, the type drum 1 will be moved by a fixed amount in the vertical direction, and, on the other hand, when the shaft 12 is rotated by a fixed amount the type drum 1 will be rotated by a fixed amount in the rotating direction through the rotary gears 13 and 9 and the shaft 4. By both of these selecting operations, any desired type will be brought to the typing position and will be at the same time slid outward by the selecting ball 16 so that the distance between the surface of said type and the platen 18 may be reduced. Then the clutch not illustrated will be operated by .a typing starting pulse so that typing may be made with the typing drum 1 as soon as the drum stops. The typing cam will be rotated through the cam driving shaft 21. By the concave part of said cam, the typing plate 23 will be rotated anticlockwise as shown by the dotted line around the axis 23a. The type drum 1 will be swung to be pressed against the surface of the platen 18 so that the above mentioned selected type may be typed on the typing paper 20. Then, even when the selecting operation sets in simultaneously with the return of said drum 1, the movement of the supporting bar 2a of the type 2 and the selecting ball 16 will be such that said ball 16 will be free to rotate to come smoothly into opposite contact with the supporting bar of the next type.
In the same manner, the type selecting operations may end before the type drum 1 swings to be pressed toward the surface of the platen 18. Therefore, the typing operation can set in simultaneously with the selecting operation.
As in the above, the present invention has the outstanding advantages that, as soon as any desired type is selected, said type will be slid outward by the selecting ball so that the operating stroke of the type drum in typing may be made so short that high speed typing will be thereby made possible, that the curvature of the surfaces of the type will be reduced, that there will be a sufficient space for the type on each side of the selected type and that the clearness of the typing will be improved. A further advantage is that the swing of the type drum and the movement of the supporting bar of the type and the selecting ball after typing will be so smooth that it will be possible for the next selecting operation to set in immediately and that, as it also possible for the typing operation to set in simultaneously with the type selecting operation, a high speed printer will be made possible.
