ABSTRACT:
A unique printer head employs a plurality of bimorph benders to drive a wire matrix. The benders are of the circular, high power type, having centrally located coupling washers. A housing supports the benders which are stackably mounted therein such that the washer openings form a central cavity which is aligned with an opening in the housing. Each wire couples to a corresponding bender to be ballistically driven thereby. The wires are routed through the central cavity and wire guides for actuation out the housing opening.
Because of the high efficiency of the bimorph bender drivers, the improved printer head has reduced size and weight, while maintaining a high reliability.
