いるが、以下に記する問題点を有している。Next, the operation of the ribbon cassette once during printing will be explained. When the ribbon cassette, tip, is attached to a printing device and printing is being performed, the transfer roller 44 receives rotational force from the printer body and rotates clockwise, and as a result, the ribbon 45 is sent in the direction of the arrow. The transfer roller 44 contacts the ink-impregnated material 41 and the ink contained in the ink-impregnated material 41 is transmitted to the transfer roller 44, and as the transfer roller 44 rotates, the ink attached to the transfer roller 44 is transmitted to the ribbon 45. Ribbon cassettes 1 and 1 are intended to extend the life of the ribbon cassette by supplying ink to the ribbon during ribbon feeding, and have been widely used in recent years, but they have the following problems.

と、インクの濃淡のある印字となった。又、印字する用
紙を汚し易く、美しい印字をさせることが出来なかった
。In the ribbon cassette 40 shown in FIG. 4, during transportation or long-term storage, ink in the ink-impregnated material 41 was transferred to the transfer roller 44 and gradually transferred to the ribbon 45. As a result, the ribbon 45 in the vicinity of the area in contact with the transfer roller 44 contained a large amount of ink, and the concentration of ink in other parts of the ribbon 45 was significantly different. When this ribbon cassette was used to print on a printing device, the printing results in a pattern of ink shading. In addition, the paper on which printing is to be printed is easily stained, and beautiful printing cannot be achieved.

持部材２を脱離し、別保管する方法をとっていた。One method for solving this problem is to package the impregnating material holding member 42 containing the ink impregnating material 41 and the ribbon cassette containing other components separately, and to store the ink impregnating material 41 during use. A method was adopted in which the impregnated material holding member 42 was attached to a ribbon cassette containing other members. Furthermore, when the printing apparatus is not used for a long period of time, the impregnating material holding member 2 containing the ink impregnating agent is removed from the ribbon assembly 1-40 and stored separately.
そのため、従来のリボンカセットで美しい印字をさせる
為には、梱包費用もかかり、かつリボンカセットの取り
扱いは大へん面倒なものであった。Therefore, in order to make beautiful prints using conventional ribbon cassettes, packaging costs are high, and handling of ribbon cassettes is extremely troublesome.

とはなく、リボン５に伝わることはない。An ink-impregnated material 1 containing ink is contained in an impregnated material holding member 2, and one end of the ink-impregnated material 1 comes out from the impregnated material holding member 2. The impregnating material holding member 2 consists of an impregnating material storage part 23 and a spring part 21, and has a swinging hole 22. In the swinging hole 22, there is a holding member rI made integrally with the case lO.
1wJ shaft 12, and the holding member rJIIIJ
It is possible to swing around the shaft 12. Further, the impregnating agent holding member 2 receives the force of the spring member 3 and remains stationary in a state where it collides with the cuticle contacting wall portion 11 of the holding portion, and at this time, the ink impregnating agent 1 and the transfer roller 4 are separated from each other by a distance M. ing. Therefore, the ink of the ink impregnating agent 1 is not transmitted to the transfer roller 4 and is not transmitted to the ribbon 5.

ンクがリボン５に伝わる。The pressing member 32 has a conical shape with a thin tip.
When the ribbon cassette 15 is installed in the printing device 31, the impregnating agent passes through the holding member operating hole 13 opened in the case 10 and presses one side of the impregnating agent holding member 2 with the conical slope at the tip of the holding member operating projection 32. The holding member 2 moves in the direction of contacting the transfer roller 4 by being pushed by the holding member operating protrusion 32, and the impregnating agent 1 comes into contact with the transfer roller 4, but the conical tip of the holding member operating protrusion 32 The spring part 21 of the impregnating agent holding member 2 is bent by being pushed by the slope of the shape. Under the reaction force caused by the bending of the spring part 21, the ink impregnating agent 1 and the transfer roller 4 come into contact with each other. A top view of the state is shown in FIG. 3. In the state shown in FIG. 3, the ribbon feed drive shaft 33 coming out of the printing device 31 rotates clockwise, thereby rotating the transfer roller 4 clockwise. the ribbon 5 using the same principle as explained in Fig. 4.
Send in the direction of the arrow. At the same time, the ink contained in the ink impregnation agent 1 is transferred to the transfer roller 4, and as the transfer roller 4 rotates, the ink attached to the transfer roller 4 is transferred to the ribbon 5.
