Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an ink ribbon to be used on both sides thereof through reversing a cassette face side back, by a construction wherein two ribbon take-up shafts fixed respectively to both ends of an ink ribbon can be fitted to ribbon-feeding driving shafts of a printer from both face-side and back-side directions of a cassette. CONSTITUTION:A multiple-type thermal ribbon 1 is taken up by the right-side take-up shaft 2, is led through a right-side idle roller 3, a thermal head 4 and a left-side idle roller 5, and an end thereof is fixed to the left-side take-up shaft 6. These component parts are fitted to a cassette casing 7 and a cassette over. The outer shape of the cassette is symmetrical on the face and back sides as well as on the left and right sides. When the thermal ribbon 1 wound around the right-side take-up shaft 2 is used and is completely taken up by the left-side take-up shaft 6, the ribbon cassette is fitted to the printer, with the cassette casing 7 side on the face side. The ribbon 1 is taken up from the left-side take-up shaft 6 onto the right-side take-up shaft 2, whereby it can be again used.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はサーマルプリンタのインクリボンカセットに関
する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ink ribbon cassette for a thermal printer.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、この糧のインクリボンカセットは一回しか使用で
きないワンタイム製のリボンカセットが主流であった。Conventionally, the mainstream ink ribbon cassettes for this purpose have been one-time ribbon cassettes that can only be used once.

このため連用上のコスト高を招き、熱転与型プリンタの
ランニングコストヲ高めるという欠点があった。This has the drawback of increasing the cost of continuous use and increasing the running cost of the heat transfer printer.

またワンタイム屋のインクリボンをエンドレス状に使用
し、リボンの印字箇所を熱溶融させたインク漕に通して
リボンにインク層を復元することによりマルチ化を達成
したサーマルインクリボンも提案されている。この方式
ではリボンをカセ。In addition, a thermal ink ribbon has been proposed that uses one-time shop ink ribbon in an endless format and passes the printed area of the ribbon through a hot-melted ink tank to restore the ink layer to the ribbon. . In this method, the ribbon is skeined.

ト化することが不可能であり、さらに溶融インク漕が必
要とするため小型のプリンタ装置には適用できないとい
う欠点があうた。Furthermore, since it requires a molten ink tank, it cannot be applied to small-sized printers.

〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

従って本発明の目的は、インクリボンの寿命を延ばし、
小型プリンタに適用可能なインクリボンカセットを提供
することにある。Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to extend the life of the ink ribbon,
An object of the present invention is to provide an ink ribbon cassette applicable to small printers.

〔問題点を解決するための手段〕[Means for solving problems]

本発明によれば、インクリボンの両端に固着された２個
のリボン巻取軸をカセットの表裏両方向からプリンタの
リボン送り月謝動軸に装着可能な構造とし、カセットを
裏返すことによってインクリボンの両方向の送りを可能
としたインクリボンカセットが得られる。According to the present invention, the two ribbon winding shafts fixed to both ends of the ink ribbon can be attached to the printer's ribbon feed/movement shaft from both the front and back sides of the cassette, and by turning the cassette over, the ink ribbon can be moved in both directions. An ink ribbon cassette capable of feeding is obtained.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

対称形である。Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the multi-purpose thermal ribbon l is wound around the right winding shaft 2, and is transferred from the right idle roller 3 to the thermal to the left idle roller 5.
One end of the winding shaft 6 is fixed to the left winding shaft 6 through the winding shaft 6. These components are attached to a cassette case 7 and a cassette cover 8. The outer shape of the cassette is symmetrical both front and back and left and right.

右側巻取軸２に巻回されたサーマルリボン１が使用され
完全に左側巻取軸６側に巻取られると。When the thermal ribbon 1 wound around the right winding shaft 2 is used, it is completely wound onto the left winding shaft 6 side.

Therefore, the ribbon 1 is now wound up from the left winding shaft 6 to the right winding shaft 2, so that the ink ribbon 1 can be used again. By repeating this operation, printing can be performed using the same ribbon cassette until the ink fused onto the thermal ribbon 1 is exhausted.

〔発明の効果〕〔Effect of the invention〕

本発明は以上説明したように、マルチ型のサーマルイン
