Abstract

PURPOSE: To ensure a high printing speed while reducing the power consumption with a less size and weight by removing the actuator and the intermediate hammer replaced by the integration of the type body and the armature.

CONSTITUTION: The type body 4 and the armature are integrally constructed. When the core 2 is excited with current fed in a short space of time at a required timing so as to attract the armature 5 in the direction of the arrow a, the type body 4 rotates in the direction of the arrow b on the flucrum 7, so that the type 3 presses a printing paper and an ink ribon 11 against the platen to perform a printing. Upon the end of the printing, the type returns with a type return spring. Thus, the integration of the armature and the type body 4 gives a direct printing action to the printing body 4 thereby reducing the energy loss and eliminating the need for the intermediate hammer and the acturator. Along with a less size and weight, higher printing speed is available because there exists no possible interference by the type body 4.
