Abstract
Description
しかしながら、上記従来のテープカートリッジは、リボン繰出しコアの係合条が、リボン繰出しコアの内面から内側に突出するように形成されている。そのため、繰出し側駆動軸に対し、リボン繰出しコアの内側で係合する構成となり、その結果、繰出し側駆動軸とリボン繰出しコアとの係合位置が、径方向内寄りとなっている。これにより、「てこの原理」の兼ね合いで、リボン繰出しコアを回転させる力が弱くなるという問題があった。その結果、インクリボンを適切に巻き戻すことができなかった。
これに対し、リボン巻取りコアを径方向に大きくすることで、上記係合位置を径方向外側に移動することも考えられるが、かかる場合、テープカートリッジの大型化や、配置スペースの兼ね合いで、リボン繰出しコアに巻回可能なインクリボンの量が少なる、といった問題が生じる。
なお、このとき、第1回転止めフック54および第2回転止めフック55は、カートリッジ装着部21の底板21aに形成された先端円錐状の2つの係合解除突起57、58(図4参照)とそれぞれ係合し、リボン繰出しコア42およびリボン巻取りコア43に対する係合および回転止めが解除される。すなわち、第1回転止めフック54および第2回転止めフック55は、テープカートリッジCの非装着時のみ、リボン繰出しコア42およびリボン巻取りコア43と係合し、リボン繰出しコア42およびリボン巻取りコア43の回転止めを行う構成となっている。
なお、動力伝達機構は、駆動モーターの動力を、プラテン駆動軸32にも伝達する構成となっており、駆動モーターの回転に起因して、プラテン駆動軸32に係合するプラテンローラー44も回転する。これにより、プラテンローラー44の回転駆動に同期して、巻取り側駆動軸33および繰出し側駆動軸34を回転駆動させることができる。
