Abstract:
An electrical solenoid assembly having improved long life means for determining the length of the closed state air gap of the solenoid in combination with means for increasing operating efficiency through decreasing magnetic flux fringing at pole faces.
Abstract:
A cooperative plurality of energy-dissipating means is incorporated into a high-speed mechanism so as to be sequentially activated and be operative upon a working member for timely extraction of precise quantities of excess kinetic energy and for producing long life and bounce-free fast operation of the working member. Incorporation of the invention into a high-speed printer wherein energy absorption from components of the printer is accomplished via structurally improved members is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A resilient nonmetallic printer hammer made of composite material and having relatively large size and small mass is disclosed. The hammer employs a frontal insert member for printing contact and a rearward insert for energy dissipation and driving. An attached spring assists in hammer retraction and in frictional dissipation against a mating member at the rearward face.
