- Secured to the shaft 24 is also a third crank lever 26 connected by a link 27 to a lever 28. This latter is fulcrumed on a stationary pivot 29 and is normally urged by a spring 30 to contact a cam 31 of the shaft 4.
- the two lugs 21 are connected by a spring 32 which urges the two lugs 18 toward the wheels 16.
- Each pawl 19 is provided with a cam edge 33 adapted to cooperate with a corresponding pin 34 of a ribbon reverse lever 36.
- the lever 36 is fulcrumed on a pivot 37 secured to the plate 8 and is provided with a pin 38 engaged by an end of a torsional spring 39 partially helically wound, the other end of the spring 39 engaging a notch 41 of the plate 8.
- the plate 8 is provided with a further pair of lugs 42 bent upwards and each one adapted to engage a recess 43 (FIG. 3) formed in each one of a pair of side Walls 44 of an ink ribbon cartridge, generally indicated by the numeral 45.
- the cartridge 45 is associated with the machine, that is it represents a part of the machine equipment and thus does not have to be replaced when the ribbon 60 is to be changed.
- the cartridge 45 is made with a transparent plastic material and is substantially C-shaped, so as to embrace the typewheels 6 (FIG. 1).
- the cartridge 45 is open at its lower side facing the machine and is provided with a top wall 46, secured to which is a pair of pins 47 (FIG. 3) supporting a suitably bent iron wire 48 representing the conventional ribbon vibrator.
- a pair of pivots 50 [rotatably mounting the spools 49.
- a pivot 52 mounting like a scissor a pair of levers 54 made with a plastic material.
- the levers 54 are normally urged in opposite directions by a torsional spring 55, so as to contact the ribbon 60 wound on each spool 49, thus normally locking the spools 49 on the cartridge 45.
- Each lever 54 is pro vided with a corresponding lug 56, the two lugs 56 being adapted to be pinched by two fingers for disengaging the levers 54 from the spools 49.
- the upper flange of each spool 49 may contact a projection 57 (FIG. 1) provided on each lever 54.
- each pivot 50 Fulcrumed on each pivot 50 (FIG. 3) is a three-armed lever 58, a spring 59 tensioned between the two levers 58 urging them to contact a corresponding pin 61 secured to the cartridge 45.
- Each lever 58 is provided with a roller 62 guiding the ribbon 60.
- the lever 58 carries a pin 63 adapted to be engaged together with the roller 62 by the conventional ribbon clip for causing the ribbon 60 to be reversed.
- Each lever 58 is also provided (with a pin 64 adapted to cooperate with a lug 65 of the corresponding lever 54 and with a lug 66 (FIG. 2) of the lever 36.
- the cartridge 45 is provided with a snap knob 71 (FIG. 1) secured to a pivot 72 rotatably mounted on the wall 46.
- a plate 73 (FIG. 3) provided with two shoulders 74 adapted to cooperate with a pin 76 secured to the wall 46.
- An elastic tongue 77 of the plate 73 is adapted to cooperate with the same pin 76 for causing the knob 71 to snap from the one to the other of a pair of positions.
- a prismatic element 78 having a pair of cam shaped notches 79 (FIG. 1) adapted to cooperate with a pin 81 crossing the pivot 37 and therefore secured to the plate 8.
- the ribbon controlling device operates as follows.
- the cartridge 45 is secured to the plate 8 by the cam shaped notches 79, which engage the pin 81, the knob 71 being in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- One of the lugs 18 (in FIG. 2 the right-hand lug 18) engages the corresponding wheel 16, while the other lug 18 is disengaged from the other wheel 16.
- the cam 13 causes the spring 12 to rock the plate 8 bodily with the cartridge 45 about the pivots to locate the ink ribbon 60 between the wheels 6 and the platen 7.
- the cam 31 rocks the lever 28 clockwise and through the link 27 and the lever 26 rocks in the same direction the shaft 24 bodily with the levers 23.
- the two pawls 19 (FIG.
- the knob 71 (FIG. 1) is rotated 90 degrees to cause the notches 79 to release the pin 81.
- the cartridge 45 is now removed from the plate 8 and capsized on a table as shown in FIG. 3.
- the levers 54 are rocked in opposite directions against the urge of the spring 55 so as to release the spools 49 which may so be removed from the cartridge 45.
