ABSTRACT:
A compliant structure formed of resilient tape of the self-straightening type is used to guide a web of thin material which is transferred between two machine elements that have relative motion to each other. The structure is applied to a ribbon supply and take-up system for typewriters and teleprinters of the type having a carriage-transported printing device. The resilient tape, with one surface being used to guide the ribbon, is connected and constrained between a frame-supported ribbon supply and take-up assembly and the printing device carriage to form a loop-like structure for guiding and generally supporting the ribbon along a path of constant length regardless of carriage position. The compliant ribbon-guiding structure is also incorporated into an easily installable ribbon carriage.
