Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in recorder head for code characters in line printing, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
The construction and method of operation of the invention, however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a partly diagrammatic longitudinal sectional view of a recorder head constructed in accordance with the invention, shown in quiescent or inactive state;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. I of the recorder head in an active state of printing; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along the line IIIIII in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 4 is, on an enlarged scale in longitudinalsection, the front end of printing rods 14 and 15 with the line types 20 and 21 in various positions;
a. shows the resting position with the withdrawn printing rods 14 and 15; i
b. shows in printing position, the printing rod 15 forimprinting the below represented code line of 0.1 mm width and mm length (length is illustrated in shortened form); c. shows in printing position, the printing rod 14 with the impression or imprint of a code line of 0.2 mm width; and d. shows in printing position, both printing rods 14 and 15 for making a code line of 0.3 mm. width.
In FIG. 4A is shown a started line coding with the values 2 and 4 according to the code 1-2-4-2, whereby the beginning of the coding is illustrated by three lines and the coding end by a wide line.
Referring now to the Figures of the drawing, there is shown therein a recorder head constructed according to the invention which includes a cylindrical housing 1, which can be provided with non-illustrated cooling ribs or vanes. Three electrical pot- shaped magnets 2, 3 and 4, a ring-shaped plate 5, a forward end plate 6 and a rear guide plate 7 are securely mounted in the housing 1 by means of screws or bolts 8. A casing 9 is located at the forward end plate 6, and a forward guide member 10 is secured by screws 11 therein. An armature plate 12 is located between the pot-shaped magnet 2 and the ring-shaped plate 5, and a second armature plate 13 is located between the pot- shaped magnets 3 and 4. The armature plates 12 and 13 are provided with anti-sticking or anti-adhesive sheets such as of phosphor-bronze, for example, which prevent adhesion thereof to the magnets 2, 3 and 4.
The pot-shaped magnets 2 to 4, the ring-shaped plate 5, the end plate 6, the guide plate 7 and the guide member 10 are formed with respective central bores through which two printing rods 14 and 15, respectively, having semicircular cross sections located opposite one another, as shown in FIG. 3, extend. The printing rods 14 and 15 are provided with stepped portions 14a, 14b and 14c, on the one hand, and 15a to 15c, on the other hand, having cross sections of reduced semicircular dimensions, respectively, the end face of the stepped portion 15a serving as a stop for the armature plate 12 of the pot-shaped magnet 2, and the end face of the stepped portion 14b serving as stop for the annature plate 13 of the pot-shaped magnet 4. The end stepped portions 140 and 150 of the respective printing rods 14 and 15 are respectively provided with a half shell 16 and 17 that extend as bearing shells in the central bore of the rear guide plate 7 and, in neutral or rest condition, extend through the bore of the restoring magnet 4 up to the armature plate 13 and form a stepped portion which serves as a stop of the armature plate 13 for the restoring magnet 4. The printing rods 14 and 15 are provided with restoring springs 18 and 19, that are secured to a stationary frame represented by the pins 24, and are located at the free end 14c and 150 outside the housing 1. The printing rods 14 and 15 are furnished at their forward end with line types 20 and 21, which are trapezoidal in longitudinal section, the printing surfaces 20a and 21a being constructed so as to correspond to the line width that is to be printed, such as 0.2 mm and 0.1 mm wide. Accordingly, due to the construction of the line type, the imprints, when both printing rods 14 and 15 are simultaneously actuated, form a row or are alignable additively without imprinting any space therebetween, and form,'for example, a line of 0.2 0.1 =0.3 mm width on a record carrier 23 passed over a printing roller 22'.
The operation and electrical control of such recorder heads are generally known. in the aforedescribed recorder head, a restoring magnet 4 is additionally provided. As soon as the pot-shaped magnet 3 is electrically energized, the armature plate 13 engaged with the stepped portion 14b is displaced from ,the position thereof shown in FIG. 1 to the printing position thereof shown in FIG. -2. It is essential with respect thereto that the armature plate 13 comes into engagementwith the pot-shaped magnet 3 before the printing surface20a of the printing rod comes into contact with the record carrier 23 so that a free over-stroke of the printing rod 14 up to the contact is achieved. After the imprint is made by the line type 20 or 2], the reversing or restoring magnet 4 is switched on and the armature plate 13 is displaced while engaged with the stop formed by the half shell 16 in direction opposite to the printing i.e., toward the top of FIG. 3.
