Abstract: The aligner mechanism comprises first and second control sleeves keyed to end portions of a shaft. First and second levers are pivotally mounted on the shaft adjacent to the first and second control sleeves for movement between first and second positions. A pinch roller is rotatably mounted on the levers opposite a drive roller. The aligner mechanism also includes an aligner bar having a first leg portion and a second leg portion secured to the first and second control sleeves respectively, and an engaging portion joining the first and second leg portions. The first lever has a projection cooperating with a control member on the first control sleeve and the second lever has a projection cooperating with a control member on the second control sleeve so as to provide lost motion coupling to pivotally move the first and second levers from a first position to a second position. The aligner bar engages the first wall before the first and second levers are pivotally moved to the second position to introduce a bend in each of the first and second legs causing the engaging portion to be biased against the first wall before the first and second levers rotate to the second position. The projections also cooperate with the control member when a resilient element biases the shaft to the first position to enable the rollers to pinch the document before the engaging portion disengages the first wall.

Abstract: A strain relief apparatus for relieving strain on a cable of an electrical device having a housing with a notched-out portion therein. The strain relief apparatus is generally planar and is mounted directly into the notched-out portion. The strain relief apparatus has a U-shaped channel which is dimensioned to provide an interference fit with the cable after the cable is mounted therein. The design of the strain relief apparatus introduces bends in the cable to further facilitate strain relief if, for example, the cable is accidentally jerked or pulled.

Abstract: A piggyback recorder for use in a printer terminal having a first recorder for printing a first set of data on a document, such as a receipt document. The piggyback recorder is detachably mounted piggyback onto the first recorder, thereby providing a second recorder to the terminal for printing a second set of data on the document. The piggyback recorder comprises a piggyback print member which is capable of printing the second set of data, a mounting member for mounting the piggyback print member directly onto a first print member of the first recorder, a piggyback platen, a second mounting member for mounting the piggyback platen directly onto a first platen of the piggyback recorder, and a solenoid for providing relative movement between the piggyback print member and the piggyback platen. After the piggyback recorder is mounted on the first recorder, the controller can energize the solenoid to cause the piggyback platen to impact the piggyback print member, thereby effecting the printing of the second set of data on the document when the document is located in a printing position between the piggyback print member and piggyback platen.

Abstract translation: 一种用于具有第一记录器的打印机终端中的搭载记录器，用于在诸如收据凭证的文档上打印第一组数据。 背负式记录器可拆卸地安装在第一记录器上，从而为终端提供第二记录器，用于在文档上打印第二组数据。 背负式记录器包括能够打印第二组数据的背负式打印构件，用于将背负式打印构件直接安装到第一记录器的第一打印构件上的安装构件，背负式压板，用于安装 背负式压板直接连接在背负式记录器的第一压板上，以及螺线管，用于在背负式打印构件和背负式压板之间提供相对运动。 在背负式录音机安装在第一台录音机上之后，控制器可以对电磁线圈通电，使得背负式压板能够撞击背负式打印构件，从而当文档位于打印位置时将第二组数据打印在文档上 背负式打印构件和背负式压板之间的位置。
