Definitions
- FIGII US. Patent 0m. 7,1975 Sheet 2 of6 3,910,399
- This invention relates to a device for reversibly feeding ink ribbon through the print space provided in a compact printer or the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ink ribbon feed device provided with detecting means for detecting the outer diameter of reeled ink ribbon for selectively reversing ribbon feed from reel to reel.
- ribbon feed reversing mechanisms for alternately feeding an ink ribbon from one reel to another.
- printing devices are provided with a pair of spaced ink ribbon reels which carry wrapped ends of an ink ribbon. To assure that a clear imprint occurs when a print hammer strikes the ribbon fed through the print space, the ribbon is fed from one reel to the other during the printing operation.
- these printing devices are provided with ribbon feed reversing mechanisms for alternately reversing ribbon feed travel between the reels.
- the prior art devices for reversing ribbon feed direction between reels usually coact with eyelets mounted at both ends of the ribbon or include members which apply tensile force to the ribbon or include a pair of detecting members for detecting the outer diameter of the reeled ribbon. All of these prior art devices are complex and delicate and in many cases mirror image components are employed for coacting with each ribbon reel. These prior art devices are therefore bulky and difficult to service and correspondingly increase the size and cost of any printer device in which they may be employed.
- an ink ribbon feeder for a printer which includes a pair of spaced, coplanar, rotatably mounted means for intermittently rotating a pair of ink ribbon reels, an ink ribbon reel rotatably mounted on each of said rotatably mounted means for linearly feeding an ink ribbon through a selected print path alternately from reel to reel, oscillatable means for selectively advancing one or the other of said rotatably mounted, spaced, coplanar means for advancing ink ribbon onto the advanced spool, a reciprocable lever pivotally connected at one end of said oscillatable means for driving said oscillatable means for thereby advancing one or the other of said rotatably mounted, spaced, coplanar means, and a spring biased ink ribbon detect lever for selectively oscillating said oscillatable means into engagement with one or the other of said rotatably mounted, spaced. coplanar means for advancing the ink ribbon reel rotatably mounted thereon.
- the oscillatable means for selectively advancing the ink reels is provided with a pair of equispaced advancing pawls for advancing the rotatably mounted, spaced, coplanar means with which it is engaged.
- the oscillatable means is also provided with a pair of equispaced reversing pawls for coacting with the detect lever for thereby shifting the oscillatable means.
- a unitary detect lever is provided for detecting the amount of ribbon on either spool and for reversing the ribbon feed direction from one spool to the other.
- plural detect levers have been employed for accomplishing these functions.
