    摘要: A tape recording/retrieving system includes a tape helically-wrapped about a cylindrical headwheel. When the headwheel rotates, the tape is hydrodynamically lifted above the rotating surface of the headwheel. A plurality of tape edge guides, illustratively three, disposed about the circumference of the headwheel, provide support surfaces for the tape. The edge guides include surfaces adjacent the cylindrical headwheel surface which are also subject to hydrodynamic forces when the headwheel rotates, causing the edge guides to "fly" away from the rotating surface, thus reducing wear problems on the headwheel and the guides. Using a knowledge of the system parameters, the edge guides are fabricated with a prestress so that they fly at a particular distance above the rotating surface which provides a supporting surface for the flying tape.

    摘要: A printhead assembly, having an individual print hammer and actuator assembly for every other column of line print, includes a low mass hammer and a hairpin spring coupled to the hammer rear portion, and an actuator assembly with side arms meeting at the arm tip for rapidly impacting characters on a type band. A plural flexure spring assembly provides uniform stress during actuator assembly movement and enables hammer and actuator positional adjustment to be made by frontal access, and a slotted bearing assembly inclines each print hammer at a slight angle off the perpendicular to the print line and the plane of the record medium.

    摘要: A tension sensor is placed within a fluid bearing supporting a flexible tape at least partially wrapped around the periphery thereof. The bearing includes a source of pressurized fluid, such as air, and a plurality of metered orifii for admitting fluid into the region of the periphery to support the tape on a fluid bearing. The sensor includes a chamber and at least two metered orifice means, one in communication with the region of pressurized fluid supporting the tape and the other in communication with the source of pressurized fluid. A pressure sensor senses the pressure within the chamber, the pressure being directly proportional to the tension in the tape.

    摘要: A plurality of small pin-shaped low-mass print hammers are slideably mounted in a row opposite moving type. The low-mass print hammers are individually moved a short distance from a ready position to impact the moving type by individual highspeed actuators when a selected character is juxtaposed each of the hammers. The print hammers and actuators are returned to the ready position by spring means cooperating with damper means.

    摘要: A mechanism is disclosed for automatically positioning the print mechanism with respect to the forms and ribbon in a printer assembly. The automatic adjustment takes place for varying thicknesses of the forms, which is a function of the number of copies being printed and the type of form, as well as the variations in the thickness of the ribbon. The above-mentioned adjustment takes place after there has been a simulation of the print hammer striking the paper which may be a single-part or multi-part form.

    摘要: The mechanism herein relates to the automatic positioning of the print mechanism with respect to the forms and ribbon in a printer assembly. The automatic adjustment takes place for varying thicknesses of the forms, which is a function of the number of copies being printed and the type of form, as well as the variations in the thickness of the ribbon. The abovementioned adjustment takes place after there has been a simulation of the print hammer striking the paper which may be a single-part or multi-part form. Simulation is obtained by extending a probe to deform the forms in the same manner as a print hammer deforms the forms in the actual printing operation.
