  • This invention relates to a keyboard printer as used as a terminal input and output element of a computer, and more particularly to a keyboard printer in which the keys do not need to be actuated but only to be grazed or lightly touched on.
  • the keyboard printer of the invention pertains to the known kind of printers in which the code of a given character is a pulse the phase shift or delay of which with respect to a start pulse represents the character.
  • the printer of the invention essentially comprises a character wheel, means for continuously rotating said character wheel and for selectively printing the characters without stopping of the wheel, means for distributing onto a plurality of character terminals, a start pulse and characters pulses, each character being defined by the delay between the start pulse and the character pulse, a plurality of touchoperated character keys, each including first and second electrodes, connections between the first of said electrodes and said character terminals, connections between the second of said electrodes and an output terminal, said key electrodes ex hibiting with each other a large capacitance when the operators finger tip is on the key and a small capacitance when it is v out of the key whereby a given character pulse is produced at said output terminal when the operator touches the corresponding key.
  • FIG. l is a perspective view of a simplified form of a first embodiment ofa printer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the patterns of the start and character pulses produced by the tone wheels
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 relate to the wheel bearing the characters of the printer of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 relate to the signal distributor and to the printer keyboard according to the invention
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a simplified form of a second embodiment ofa printer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 represents the signal distributor of the printer of FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 9 shows the electrical diagram of a signal distributor which does not need a compensation capacitor.
  • FIG. 1 is an exemplary nonlimitative view in perspective of a keyboard type printer for computer according to the invention.
  • An electric motor 1 rotates continuously.
  • the character wheel 10 has a cylindrical U-section forms a place to receive a typing" solenoid 11 secured to the printer frame by a support (not shown).
  • a tone wheel has a single tooth 21 which is made of a magnetic material, so that once per revolution the tooth 21 produces a pulse like energization by induction of a winding 22 wound on a magnetic core 23.

  • a capacitive distributor 40 has a rotating arm 41.
  • a sheet 3 of printing paper is disposed on a laterally shifting roller or platen 2.
  • a flexible printed circuit keyboard 50 is rigidly secured by a connecting strip 4 to the distributor 40.
  • the character wheel 10 bears 50 characters or blanks.

  • the motor 1 rotates the mechanical system of the printer at a rated speed of 20 r.p.m., although the arhythmic nature of operation is such that there are very wide tolerances, for instance, of 20 percent, for this speed.
  • FIG. 2 shows the timing of these pulses.
  • Diagram (11) relates to the start pulses and diagram (b) to the character pulses. As these diagrams show, the offset between the two wheels 20 and 30 is such that the start pulse appears very briefly after the final character pulse of the immediately previous revolution.
  • the printout signal initiates the transmission of a heavy current pulse through the winding of the solenoid 11 which, for instance, has a plunger acting as a hammer to briefly press the required character on the paper 3 disposed on the platen 2.

  • the tongues are bent towards the tray interior so that the typing position corresponds to the substantially vertical position of the tongues.
  • a typing operation is of course immediately followed or preceded by an appropriate shift of the platen 2 to ensure correct character spacing along the line.
  • a conven tional electromechanical facility (not shown in FIG. 1) is provided for this purpose.
  • the reaction of the tongues 'or strips to bending causes vibrations, but partial damping thereof can be achieved by disposing at the bottom of the wheel 10 a plastics 14 which sticks satisfactorily to the metal of the wheel 10. Spacing can be provided by means of a blank tongue.
  • the carriage return and line advance instructions can be carried out by electromechanical systems which do not concern the device according to the invention and which are controlled by a program whose channels in the computer are independent of the channels controlling the printout of a character combined with spacing and the spacing.
  • operation of the printer according to the invention is such that transmission from the keyboard 50 (FIG. 1) combines the action of a finger of the hand on a key, as 51k, with reception by the computer of the two kinds of pulse delivered by the tone wheels 20, 30, through the agency of a real time program.
  • the final result is that the computer records a definite code identifying each character keyed.

  • the character electrode separation between two zones 431, 43] can always be very reduced, but the width of the plate 410 is always less than the distance between the shared edges of two contiguous zones.
  • the surface of the blade 410 cannot therefore cover two adjacent zones simultaneously, thus ensuring that the character pulse is distributed satisfactorily to the individual electrodes.
  • the 50 character pulses are distributed one each to the 50 keys of the keyboard 50 via the capacitor provided by the plate 410 the annular electrode and the individual electrodes.
