Title:
TAPE PRINTER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3644152
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the danger of a cutter incident to interlinking with a cut lever by providing a platen mechanism with a stopper part abutting on a cut lever when the platen mechanism is waiting and setting the cutter in lock mode when the platen mechanism is shifted to waiting position by opening a cassette cover.
SOLUTION: A platen holder 8 is provided with a protrusion 13 which presses a tape cassette 4 when it is loaded at a tape loading section so that the platen holder 8 at a waiting position can be turned slightly about a fixed point P toward the tape cassette 4. Consequently, the stopper part 12 of the platen holder 8 follows up the motion to change the position thus releasing the lock mode. When the platen holder 8 is turned to the waiting position by opening a cassette cover, the cassette cover 20 abuts against the stopper part 12 to set a lock mode where the cassette cover 20 can not be pushed down to a position for projecting a cutter 10 from a holding member 30.
