ABSTRACT:
A rotary table assembly apparatus for stuffing a snailed endless ribbon into a ribbon cartridge comprises a rotary table, a mounting plate affixed to the table for mounting and positioning a bottom housing of a ribbon cartridge, a loop tray affixed to the front portion of the mounting plate for holding a snailed loop while it is being stuffed into the ribbon cartridge, adjustable slide panels mounted on the loop tray to create narrow slits with a pin to hold the ribbon upright as it passes through the slits into the ribbon cartridge and to prevent more than one layer of ribbon from passing from the loop tray into the cartridge, and a cover for keeping the ribbon from jumping out of the loop tray as the ribbon is being fed into the cartridge. A method of stuffing an endless looped fabric ribbon into a ribbon cartridge which is used with a typewriter or a printer, comprises the steps of placing a ribbon which has been wound into a snalied loop into a loop tray, closing the top of the tray by placing a cover over it so that the ribbon cannot jump out of the tray while it is being rewound and stuffed into the ribbon cartridge, pressing a cartridge cover over the cartridge housing, and rewinding the ribbon to draw it from the loop tray and stuff if into the cartridge.
