Title:
TAIPURAITAANO RIBONKUDOSOCHI
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5163721
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The operating characteristics of an inexpensive typewriter intended primarily for juvenile use are improved with respect to the ribbon drive and reversal of ribbon drive direction and with respect to the carriage escapement. A single lever positions two cams so that one reel is driven by key action and draws in ribbon while the other is free-running and feeds out ribbon. Shifting the lever, positions the cams to shift the drive from one reel to the other with reversed direction of rotation and thus changes the direction of ribbon travel. The carriage escapement is contained in a single cartridge and is driven by both key action and space bar action. The cartridge also provides a mount for a ribbon-vibrator.
