On the other hand, the wire guide mechanism disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-39740 has a nose body integrally formed with
A large number of guide holes are formed in a straight line. This has the advantage that the printing wire can be guided to the nose edge without applying excessive force, but on the other hand, the printing wire can be guided over a long path. Due to the sliding contact with the hole, there is a disadvantage that a large force is required for driving.

The tip guide plate 5 in this embodiment guides the tips of the respective printing wires 10 guided in a straight line so as to face the tip of the nose body in a line at a minute interval. On the inner surface 6 of the tip guide plate 5 facing the inside of the nose body 1, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the openings of the guide holes 8 through which the print wires 9 pass are staggered. Also, on the outer surface 7 facing the platen 15 side, the second
As shown in FIG. 6A, the openings of the guide holes 8 are formed obliquely so as to form a line, and further, a taper 9 is formed at the inlet of each guide hole 8 on the inner surface 6 side. The print wires 10 led from one half and the other half of the bed body 1 are arranged in a zigzag pattern on the left and right guide holes 8 respectively.
Each one is alternately inserted into a and 8b so as to face the tip of the nose body 1.
