Definitions

  • INK RIBBON HAVING AN ANISOTROPIC ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY This invention relates to an ink ribbon having anisomechanism provided with an ink ribbon formed by a flexible supporthaving an electric conductivity which isgreater in the direction of its thickness than in the plane of its major surfaces, one surface of the support being coated with an ink which is both thermofusible
  • the difference in conductivity of this ribbon is essentially due to the provision of a plurality of conductive elements in the mass of the ribbon, the conductive elements extending from one side to the other through'the thickness of the ribbon.
  • Such a ribbon has however some disadvantages both with respectto its production and its use.
  • the disadvantages in use are the very stylized form of the obtained characters, the very limited number of possibilities in the choice of the lines produced with a group of given letters, and the difficulty of selectingthe electrodes from a group of electrodes occupying a very small surface on. the ribbon.
  • FIG. I is an elevational view of the ribbon producing means
  • FIG. 52 is a sectional view taken on the line ll-ll of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a'transverse sectional view, taken on an enlarged scale,'through a mould for producing the ribbon;
  • FIG-4 is .a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of a piece of ribbon obtained by the process of'the present
  • the prepolymer may be a Rhodester 1103 or a mixture of Rhodester 1103 and 1108.
  • Rhodester 1103 is a prepolymer of polyester containing 45 percent of styrene. Its density at 25C. is I.06 before polymerization and H8 after polymerization. Its acid and hydroxyl values are both 10.
  • Rhodester 1108 is a prepolymer of polyester containing 30 percent of styrene. Its density at 25C. is I.l4 before polymerization and l.23-after polymerization. Its acid value is 34 and its hydroxyl value is 42.
  • the nickel powder and the surfactant aredispersed in the prepolymer by subjecting the mixture to vibrations of a supersonic frequency. Then a catalyst is added to the mixture in a ratio of 0.3 percent to produce polymerization and an accelerator is added in a ratio of 0.l percent to accelerate the reactron.
  • This mixture is then spread in the form of a layer 1 *on a thin glass plate 2, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • Previously spacer blocks 3 having a thickness of between 0.2 and 0.6 mm, depending on the thickness of the ribbon to be produced, are placed on the glass plate 2.
  • a second glass plate 4 similar to the first one is placed on the blocks 3 to form a sandwich structure which is inserted in the airgap 5 of an electromagnet 6 formed by a coil '7 placedin a soft iron armature 8 having the form of an E in cross section.
  • a cover 9 likewise of soft iron is placed on the armature 8, the cover 9 being provided with a longitudinal rib 9a facing the central rib 8a of the armature 8.
  • the air gap 5 is located between the ribs 8a and 9a and has an elongateform, its dimensions being such that the aforementioned sandwich structure can be inserted therein.
  • the coil 7 is energized to produce a magnetic field in the air gap 5 so that the lines of force of the magnetic field traverse the sandwich structure.
  • the magnetic field traversing the mixture 1 which is still in the liquid state produces an alignment of the nickel particles contained in the mixture 1 in the form of chains extending transversely in the direction of the thickness of the ribbon, i.e., along the lines of force of the magnetic field.
  • transverse resistivity The values of transverse resistivity given in ohm/cm in Table l are obtained by placing an electrode on each side of the ribbon and exerting a slight pressure on each.
  • this mixture of particles generally results in an improvement of the conductivity in the transverse direction of the ribbon, particularly when the medium diameter of the particles is different.
  • any type of plastics material may be used such asv heat-setting monomers, prepolymers, copolymers or polymers which initially are in the form-of a liquid hav ing a'sufficiently low viscosity to permit the orientation of the nickel particles under the influence of the magmust have certain plastic properties such as sufficient flexibility but low elasticity.
  • thermoplastic or fusible resin which is heated to its melting point and then nickel powder is added to this resin by mixing it while the resin is in the molten state. Then this mixture is placed into a mould of the type lshown in FIG. 3, taking care that this mould has been heated previously -to a temperature corresponding to ithat of the melting point of the thermoplastic material employed, and then the mould is placed into the air gap .5 of the electromagnet 6 which is then energized to mlXtU16 while the mixture 18 cooling and hardening as was describedwith reference to the first form of carrying out the process.
  • small resistances may be arranged to lextend through the mould to keep the latter at a certain temperature and control the speed of lowering of the gt'emperature of the mixture;
  • thermo-setting resin with :which nickel powder would be mixed is placed into a mould such as that shown in FIG. 3, the mould is placed into the air gap 5 of the electro- :magnet 6 which is energized and simultaneously the mould is heated, for example, by means of electric resistances (not shown) extending through the mould, to harden the resin.
  • FIG. 4 shows a piece of the ribbon 1 obtained by the 0 process described above and having an anisotropic electric conductivity.
  • the metal particles P to which an electrode can be applied and chains of particles C C C appear on the side lb of the ribbon and form electrically conductive passages between the two surfaces -la and 1c of the ribbon.
  • thermo-setting resin a thermo-setting resin
  • thermoplastic resin characterized in that said resin is a thermoplastic resin.
