位置に固定することができる。With the configuration of the above means, when the connecting link is pushed up, the movable link rotates around the fulcrum of the arm and the connecting link,
A spring disposed between the fixed cover and the connecting link is rotated with the connecting link around the mounting point of the fixed cover, and a spring force is applied at a predetermined position with the fulcrum as a boundary, and the movable link is fixed in a pushed up state. At this position, the ink ribbon guide is attached and detached. When the ink ribbon guide is attached and the connecting link is pushed down, the spring and the connecting link rotate similarly, and the end protruding from the lower fulcrum of the connecting link rotates around the fulcrum, and it comes to interpose the inter ribbon guide and keep it from falling out Action is taken. The spring acts in a direction in which the connecting link presses the carrier side with the fulcrum as a boundary, and in conjunction therewith, the movable link on which the ink ribbon guide is mounted can be fixed at a predetermined position.

め作用がなされる。Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 1 and 2, an engaging pin 4 is provided at a position of a movable link 3 opposite to a mounting hole 2 at both ends of an ink ribbon guide 1, and a fixed cover 6, a connecting link 7, and an arm 8 attached to a carrier 5. And fulcrums 9 and 9a respectively connected to the movable link 3 are provided at appropriate positions so that the movable link 3 is rotatable, so that the movable link 3 is pushed up and down between the fixed cover 6 and the connection link 7. Since the spring 10 is arranged and formed, the movable link 3 is rotated and moved in conjunction with the connection link 7 being pushed up, and the movable link 3 is held at a predetermined position by the tension of the spring 10. Can be removed. When the connecting link 7 is pushed down while the ink ribbon guide 1 is mounted, the movable link 3 is rotated and moved in conjunction with it, and the movable link 3 is pushed against the carrier 5 by the tension of the spring 10 and positioned. On the other hand, the end portion 11 protruding from the lower fulcrum of the connecting link 7 rotates interlockingly about the fulcrum 9a, and sandwiches the ink ribbon guide 1 so as to prevent the ink ribbon guide 1 from coming off.
本実施例によれば、インクリボンガイド１は可動リン
