This specification discloses a recording apparatus for recording an image corresponding to image information on a sheet. More particularly, the specification discloses a recording apparatus for recording an image corresponding to image information on a sheet which apparatus has a head for effecting recording in the form of a dot matrix, a support device for movably supporting the head, a conveying device for conveying the sheet, and a drive source for imparting a drive force for causing the head to scan a plurality of times each time one line is recorded and a drive force for driving the conveying device.

A device is provided comprising a printing head for printing a sheet, a rotary motor, and transmission means transforming the rotary movement generated by the motor, on the one hand into a reciprocating rectilinear movement driving the printing head and, on the other hand into a movement driving the printing sheet in synchronism with the reciprocating movement of the printing head.

A thermal printer paper feeding mechanism having a reciprocable print head carrier. A paper feeding roller has a ratchet cross section with the ratchet teeth twisted along the length of the paper feed roller. The paper feed roller rotates for advancing paper to be printed on while the print head carrier returns to a start position after having printed a line.

A one revolution clutch assembly is provided which transmits the rotation of a normally rotating drive shaft to a driven rotating body through gears and which interrupts the rotation of the driven body when it has rotated through one revolution. The one revolution clutch assembly includes a drive gear mounted on the drive shaft and which meshes with a driven gear on the driven body. The driven gear is formed with a hiatus along part of its periphery, and when the hiatus is located opposite to the drive gear, the rotation of the driven gear is interrupted. The driven gear is maintained in this position where it ceases to rotate, by a cam mounted on the driven assembly and formed with a notch which is engaged by a movable piece of an electromagnetic plunger. A crank lever has its one end rotatably mounted on the driven assembly, and imparts a rotating force to the driven gear to cause a meshing engagement of the driven gear with the drive gear when the driven gear is located at said position. When the plunger is actuated to release the driven gear, the crank lever causes a rotation of the driven gear. The timing when a meshing engagement between the driven gear and the drive gear is initiated is determined by a projection on a cam follower which is provided on the driven assembly and which engages a notch in a cam provided on the drive assembly.

The print head carriage for a printer has end-mounted toothed clutches secured thereto and engageable with mating toothed clutches mounted on the carriage support shaft for rotation thereof upon near end of travel of the carriage across the printer. The teeth of the carriage mounted clutches are one-half pitch length out of phase with the teeth of the mating clutches so that, at each end of carriage travel, the mating clutches are caused to be incrementally rotated to thereby rotate the carriage support shaft and the record media drive shaft for advancing the record media a predetermined distance.

An electrothermal printing unit for writing dots matrix characters on a thermosensitive paper comprises a print head carrying a plurality of thermo-activable printing elements aligned along a printing line of the recording medium.The head is reciprocated in a direction parallel to the printing line of the recording medium. The recording medium is moved incrementally perpendicular to the direction of a line of printing in synchronization with the movement of the head and control means are provided for selectively activating the printing elements at a succession of positions of the head in each of a succession of strokes thereof in an arrangement such that each element print all the points of at least one character of the line of characters during the succession of strokes.

In an image-recording device, a feeding roller feeds recording media one at a time from a media-accommodating unit along a conveying path. A pair of registration rollers is disposed on the conveying path and conveys the recording medium fed by the feeding roller to an image-recording region. The registration rollers include a drive roller. A carriage reciprocates in the image-recoding region in a direction intersecting a conveying direction in which the recording medium is conveyed. A recording head is mounted on the carriage. A drive transmission switching unit is disposed outside the image-recording region on one end with respect to the reciprocating direction of the carriage and switches a combination of rotating and halted states of the drive roller in the registration rollers and the feeding roller between a continuous feeding mode and an intermittent feeding mode. A controlling unit activates the drive transmission switching unit by moving the carriage to selectively switch between the continuous feeding mode and the intermittent feeding mode.

A carriage return device in a typewriter including: an interposer operable through operation of a key lever for the carriage return; a cycle bail driven by the interposer; a driving source adapted to rotate a main shaft by a predetermined number of rotations in association with the cycle bail; a cycle clutch for intermittently transmitting a driving force to the main shaft; an actuating bail for performing a cycle of movement having a locus of a predetermined mode to cause the interposer to disengage from the cycle bail; a carriage return bell crank for operating in association with the interposer when the interposer moves in the direction of disengaging from the cycle bail; a carriage return clutch operable by the carriage return bell crank; a carriage driving device for driving the carriage to return through operation of the carriage return clutch; and a mechanism for operating to return the carriage return bell crank upon completion of carriage return; wherein the carriage return device further includes a mechanism for releasing the carriage from an escapement rack in association with the carriage return bell crank.
摘要:
A control system for a dot matrix line printer having one print element for each character position on the line; a single-line memory stores the data words for a line of characters and those data words are supplied to a character signal generator sequentially to print the dots for an initial matrix position in a c.times.r matrix for all characters, whereupon the print elements are shifted one column increment along the print line. This procedure is repeated for each dot matrix position, the record sheet being advanced one row increment each time c column positions have been printed. After completion of c.multidot.r scans, printing of a full line of characters is complete, the single-line memory is cleared, and the process is started again for the next line of characters, after a line-space feed of the record sheet.
