ABSTRACT:
A tachograph has a cubic housing and a printing device having a thermal print head, a feed roller driven by a drive mechanism and a carrier movable out of the housing to reload a ribbon which forms a stock of printing material. Locking means lock and unlock the carrier in a closed position in the housing. A latch element is mounted rotatably on the carrier and subjected to an action of a tension spring. A snap-in hook of the latch element is associated with a snap-in member in a fixed position. An actuating arm is formed with the latch element, and a pushbutton is configured to be in operative connection with the actuating arm and mounted displaceably on the carrier. A fixed stop associated with the actuating arm disengages the latch element from the snap-in member when the pushbutton is actuated, and displaces the carrier in a direction of an insertion position when the actuating arm is supported on the stop.
