ABSTRACT:
An imprinter having a single driving device for controlling both the movement of the heated printing head and the intermittent advancing movement of the pigmented ribbon. The single driving device, which preferably comprises a reciprocal fluid pressure cylinder, causes the advancing and retracting movement of the printing head. A motion-transfer mechanism drivingly joins the printing head to the take-up reel for the pigmented ribbon. This mechanism is of the one-way type so as to effect rotation of the take-up reel, and advancement of the pigmented ribbon, only when the printing head is being retracted. This mechanism also employs a lost-motion connection therein so that the rotation of the take-up reel is delayed relative to the initial retraction of the printing head, whereby the printing head is initially moved out of engagement with the ribbon prior to the intermittent advancing thereof.
