Definitions
- ABSTRACT A package for wide, thin film printer ribbon including a pair of generally butterfly-shaped end pieces of substantially uniform thickness having integral bosses extending orthogonally and inwardly therefrom with a groove surrounding each boss for press fitting thereinto the open ends of a ribbon supply roll and a ribbon leader roll, a span of the ribbon being exposed between the two spaced-apart rolls.
- the depth of the grooves for the leader roll is less than that for the sup- 'ply roll or alternately grooves may encircle only the supply roll bosses so that the end pieces angle away UNITED STATES PATENTS from the lead portion of the ribbon exposed between 2,721,653 10/1955 Billinger 206/59 F the rolls whereby the edges of the exposed p of 3,669,255 6 1972 Raymus 206/59 F fi do not t u h the end pie es.
- a heat-shrinkable 3,700,099 10/1972 Hexoux... 206/58 overwrap encompasses the package, and the end 3,750,871 8/1973 Cook 206/46 FC pieces have break open cavities in their outer walls.
- This invention relates generally to a wide line ribbon package and more specifically to a high strength unitary package including molded end pieces for thin film ribbon protection while maintaining uniform ribbon edge alignment.
- molded container positioners It is well-known in the art to employ molded container positioners in a package.
- molded container positioners were usually associated with can packages and maintained adjacent the top and bottom end chimes in a parallel relationship. These container positioners may include depressions extending into the package among the group of adjacent end chimes.
- packaging wide line ribbon particularly when composed of thin film, presents problems that are not encountered in the can packaging art.
- These wide line printers are typically 14 inches wide, twenty yards long and consist of a backing medium, an undercoating and a synthetic resin ink transfer coating as described in US. Pat. No. 2,943,952 to Clark.
- This ribbon is centered upon and tightly wound about a supply core keeping the side edges in uniform alignment.
- the core is longer than the ribbon width thereby providing core ends extending beyond each side of the ribbon a predetermined distance.
- the ribbon leader is turned about and secured to a central portion of a take up core which is the same length as the supply core, thereby providing core ends extending beyond each side of the leader ribbon. It is important for the edges of wide line ribbon to be maintained uniformly aligned while being protected from knicking or tearing. Uniform alighment is essential for preventing ribbon jamming as it is fed through a high speed printer. The ribbon must, therefore, be constrained from telescoping while in the package.
- any knick or tear at the film ribbon edge usually leads to a tear across the entire width of the ribbon thereby providing costly replacement.
- the nature of the composition of film ribbon is such that the ink transfer coating is subject to flaking and, therefore, the film ribbon must not rub against itself or be touched by human fingers.
- the principal object of this invention is to improve the packaging of wide line film ribbon.
- Another object of the invention is to develop an improved package for wide line, film ribbon for preventing telescoping of the ribbon.
- a further object of the invention is to protect packaged film ribbon edges from knicks.
- the package for wide line, film printing ribbon of the invention utilizes a pair of end pieces having spaced-apart circular grooves for the insertion of the ends of the supply roll, having ribbon stored thereon in multiple turns, and a leader roll.
- Ribbed frusto-conical bosses support the rolls and define the inner surface of each groove in which the rolls are press-fitted for firm engagement.
- the depth of the grooves for the supply roll permits the aligned edges of the ribbon wound thereon to seat snugly against the shoulder of the end pieces, while the depth of the grooves for the leader roll is less, thus angling the end pieces away from the span of ribbon exposed between the two rolls.
- the ribbon supply roll is thus prevented from telescoping and the edges of the exposed portion of the film ribbon are prevented from rubbing against the end pieces.
- a groove may encircle only one boss for receiving an end of the multiple turn roll with the leader roll mounted on the other boss merely abutting the end piece.
- a heat-shrinkable overwrap encompasses the end pieces and the ribbon rolls, the shoulders on the end pieces being of sufficient width to maintain the overwrap away from the ribbon adjacent the end pieces.
- Hand grip areas may be provided along the sides of the end pieces for easy removal of a single ribbon package from a shipping box and the end pieces may have cavities for enabling uniform thickness throughout and for facilitating the breaking open of the overwrap.

- a unitary wide line ribbon package 11 (FIG. 1) is provided with a pair of identical molded end pieces 13 press fit with aligned open-ended film ribbon supply and take-up rolls l5, 17 with a span of exposed leader portion 34 of ribbon 27 extending therebetween.
- a heat shrinkable overwrap 21 encompasses the ribbon rolls 15, 17 and end pieces 13. Break open cavities 23 are provided at the planar outer surface 25 of .the end pieces 13 for allowing substantially uniform thickness throughout and for permitting the heat-shrunk overwrap 21 to be broken without danger of damaging the frail thin film ribbon 27.
- the shoulders 32 on the end pieces 13 are wide enough to maintain the film overwrap 21 away from the ribbon 27 adjacent the end pieces.
- An essential function of this invention is to protect the side edges 29 (FIG. 2) of the leader portion 34 of the film ribbon 27 by providing a safety clearance 31 between the planar inner surface 33 of the end pieces and the side. edges 29 of the span 34 of ribbon exposed between the supply roll 15 and the leader roll 17.
- the invention accomplishes the above function by providing means for slightly angling the end pieces 13 away from each other from the supply roll 15 towards the take-up roll 17 (FIG. 2).
- each of the end pieces 13 is gneerally butterfly-shaped (FIG. 3), and has substantially uniform thickness (FIGS. 2 and as will be described later.
- a circular groove 39, 41 of truncated V-shaped cross-section is provided in each wing portion 46, 48 of the end piece block 12. These grooves have slightly different depths. The deeper groove is hereby designated the supply roll groove 39, while the shallower groove is designated the leader roll groove 41.
- Tapered bosses 47 (FIGS. 2, 4 and 5) extend outwardly from the end piece blocks 12 forming the inner walls 44 of each of the grooves 39, 41, and a plurality of crush ribs 49 (FIGS. 3 and 4) may be disposed about the perimeter of each boss 47 for firm engagement with the inner surfaces 51 of the ribbon roll cores 35, 37.
- the supply and leader rolls 15, 17 have cylindrical rolls or cores 35, 37 of the same length.
- the exposed ends 36 of the supply roll extending beyond the material web 27 are press fit into the supply groove 39 a predetermined depth in each of the end pieces 13.
- the uniformly aligned multiple turn roll edges firmly abut a shoulder 32 of each of the planar walls 33 at 40 (FIG. 2) thereby trapping the multiple turnroll therebetween.
- the exposed portions 36 of the core 35 are pressed between the grooves inner walls 44 engaging the inner surface 51 of the core and the grooves tapering outer walls 50 (FIG. 5) engaging the outer surface of the exposed portions 36 of the core.
- This firm engagement of the core 35 combined with the tightly wound and uniformly aligned supply roll edges being trapped between the inner planar walls 33 of the end pieces 13 prevents the ribbon roll 15 from twisting and telescoping.
- the web of material 27 may be intended for use where telescoping of the multiple turn roll 15 does not present the same problem as when the material is to be used in an electronic data processing printer.
- the invention may be in an alternate embodiment as follows.
- This embodiment (FIGS. 7, 8 and 9) employs an end piece 14 having a groove 39 provided in the planar surface 33 of the end piece block 12 about only one boss 47 for receiving an end 36 of the multiple turn supply roll 15.
- the depth of this supply roll groove 39 should be sufficient to receive the end 36 of the multiple turn roll to at least the distance 36 (FIG. 2) the roll 35 extends beyond the edges of the multiple turn material 27.
- the ends 36 of the multiple turn roll 15- may thus be supported within the package 11 by mounting them about the bosses 47 and press-fitting them within the grooves 39 of the end pieces 14.
- Another boss 52 is provided on each of the end piece blocks 12 and protrudes from the planar surface 33 thereof. In this embodiment grooves are not provided about these bosses 52.
- the ends 38 of the leader roll 17 may be mounted on these bosses 52 and do not extend into, but instead abut, the planar surfaces 33 of the end pieces 14.
- the package 11 may be assembled with a portion 40 of the multiple turn roll 15 seated against the end pieces planar surfaces 33 and the exposed span 34 of the material 27 between the multiple turn roll 15 and the leader roll 17 being spaced away from the planar surfaces 33 as the end pieces 14 angle away from each other.
- a key 43 (FIG. 3) is provided in a sidewall 45 of either the supply end 46 or take-up end 48 of the end piece 13.
- the key 43 is a slot provided in the sidewall 45 of the take-up end 48 of the end piece 13 for identifying it as such.
- the key 43 is provided at the supply end 46 of the end piece 14.
- the biconcavity 53 of the body portion 55 of the end piece 13, 14 is an aid in removing a single wide line ribbon package 11 from a shipping box 57 in which a number of unitary wide line ribbon packages 11 may be stacked (FIG. 6).
- Block 12 has an outer planar surface 25 disposed opposite planar surface 33 for defining the thickness of the block 12 as substantially uniform. Break open cavities 23 extend from this outer planar surface 25 into the end piece l3, l4 and continue into the inside of each boss 47, 52 with which the cavities 23 are concentric.
- the break-open cavities 23 serve two independent purposes. These cavities allow the film overwrap to be ruptured outside the area of the ribbon and also enable the end'piece to have substantially uniform thickness throughout. In orderto gain access to the ribbon supply and leader rolls 15, 17, a user merely forces an object (not shown) such as a finger through one or both break open cavities or hollow 23 thereby bursting the heatshrunk overwrap 21. The overwrap may then be easily torn and removed from about the end pieces 13, 14 and the ribbon rolls 15, 17 without accidentally touching the ribbon 27 itself.
- the end pieces 13, 14 are manufactured according to known molding processes using materials such as foamed or unfoamed polystyrene or polythylene, fibrous pulp, thermoplastic or thermosetting resins of either the foamed or unfoamed variety. Whatever material is used in a molding process, a molded article requires time to set and dry. This time is dependent on the thickness of the thickest portion of the article being molded. Therefore, if the end pieces 13, 14 have substantially uniform thickness throughout a minimum period of time is required for setting and drying, thereby allowing great manufacturing economies to be realized. In order to achieve this substantially uniform thickness of the end piece 13, 14 circular break-open cavities 23 have whatever diameter and depth is necessary for enabling the thickness of the walls 59 of the bosses 47, 52 to be substantially uniform and substantially equivalent to the thickness of the block 12.
- Means other than break-open cavities could be employed in achieving substantially uniform thickness throughout the end pieces 13, 14.
- an outer portion of each boss 47, 52 could be hollowed or removed instead, thereby defining the boss wall 59 thickness as substantially equivalent to the thickness of the block 12.
- end pieces of a yieldable material as described above allow the final package ll to weigh less than it would if the end pieces'were manufactured from a heavier stock.
- the end pieces could be produced according to this invention from a stock of any suitable material such as wood or metal, which can be milled, fabricated or molded.
- An end piece for use in packaging a pair of openended cylindrical rolls, one of said rolls having a web of material stored thereon in multiple turns and the other of said rolls having a leader of said web turned thereabout with a span of said material being exposed therebetween, the ends of said rolls extending beyond said material a predetermined distance comprising:
- a block having at least one planar surface said block having a first groove formed in said planar surface for receiving one end of said multiple turn roll to said predetermined distance and having a second groove also formed in said planar surface and spaced apart from said first groove for receiving one end of said leader roll to less than said predetermined distance, whereby when said ends of said rolls are mounted in said grooves a portion of said web on said multiple turn roll is seated against said planar surface and said exposed span of material is spaced away from said planar surface.
- An end piece for use in packaging a pair of openended cylindrical rolls, one of said rolls having a web of material stored thereon in multiple turns and the other of said rolls having a leader of said web turned thereabout with a span of said material being exposed therebetween, the ends of said rolls extending beyond said material a predetermined distance comprising:
- each of said bosses is the frustrum of a right circular cone and said.
- first groove forms a circle about said first boss and said second groove forms a circle about said second boss.
- the end piece of claim 5 also including means associated with a predetermined one of said grooves for identifying'the depth of said predetermined groove relative to the depth of said other groove.
- each of said bosses is circular and has a circular cavity concentric therewith and extending therein from said outer planar surface, said circular cavity having sufficient depth and diameter for defining the thickness throughout said bosses as substantially equal to the thickness throughout said block.
- a package comprising:
- a pair of molded end pieces having aligned circular grooves therein;
- a heat-shrinkable film overwrap encompassing said at least one pair of molded end pieces and said openended rolls press fit therein.
- a package for wide-line ribbon comprising:
- a second open-ended cylindrical core disposed substantially parallel and adjacent said first core
- first molded end piece for receiving a first open end of each of said first and second cores; a second molded end piece for receiving a second open end of each of said first and second cores; means in at least one of said first and second molded end pieces for abuttably engaging the edges of a portion of said multiple turn wide-line ribbon supported on said first core;
