摘要:
A character selecting device for a printing mechanism comprising a type-bearing element having a set of characters selected in accordance with the combination of a plurality of binary code units. Each code unit is associated with a selector cam rotatable between a first position and a second position. Each selector cam is in turn carried by a shaft, and at least one of the selector cams is so interconnected with at least one of the other shafts to cause the other shaft to shift perpendicularly to its axis when the one cam rotates from the first to the second position. Output means are engaged by the cam carried by the other shaft to move the type-bearing element to select the character to be printed.

In an example, a transmission may include a driven gear attached to a module housing of the imaging module. Further, the transmission may include a retention nose fixed or attached to the module housing. The retention nose may engage with a retention shelf of a drive housing and may retain the module housing to the drive housing such that the driven gear is operably engaged with a drive gear attached to the drive housing.

A mechanical printer with a plurality of typing wheels which are pivotable separately from the carrier is provided in which an outer shaft which causes the typing wheels to revolve in unison around the axis thereof and an inner shaft which causes rotations of the typing wheels on their own axes are coupled to driving shafts through universal joints to permit the separate pivoting, and at least one driving shaft is provided with an Oldham''s coupling obviating the need for strict alignment of the driving shafts.

A printer device includes a main housing including a print media cassette receiving slot. A first drive assembly of the main housing includes a motor operatively coupled to rotate a drive gear. A print media cassette is removably inserted into the print media cassette receiving slot, and includes a second drive assembly having a driven gear that is engaged with the drive gear. One of the drive gear or the driven gear is mounted for movement such that at least one of (i) a position of an axis of the drive gear is movable relative to the main housing or (ii) a position of an axis of the driven gear is movable relative to the printer cassette. A retaining mechanism includes a portion movable into a gear train coupling position in which the drive gear and the driven gear are held in driving contact with each other.

摘要:
An aggregate motion mechanism capable of receiving information, preferably in binary form, presented in either serial or parallel fashion for accumulating or adding the information and converting the information into a visually observable output. In a multibit binary form of the aggregate motion device, each bit position is comprised of a pair of gear members mounted in freewheeling fashion upon a common shaft. A third radially aligned satellite gear is secured to a collar mounted in a freewheeling fashion upon the common shaft, and is adapted to mesh with the pair of cooperating gears. The next adjacent bit position has one of its bevel gears secured to the collar to which the aforementioned satellite gear is secured so as to couple the binary input information from each stage to the next succeeding stage in accordance with its binary ''''weight.'''' The final output stage may be provided with a print drum or other indicia-bearing drum for the purpose of either printing out or visually displaying a character or other symbol representative of the binary information impressed upon the aggregate motion mechanism, enabling its use as either a converter or selector device for converting binary information into alpha-numeric form or for selecting a particular symbol for display or printout or may, alternatively, be employed as an adder or accumulator device in which binary data may be accumulated.
