ABSTRACT:
A flexible member is mounted in an inked ribbon cartridge such that it presses a high friction pad against a cartridge wall between a ribbon entry aperture, and the nip of a take-up spool and an associated drive wheel, thereby to apply a drag force on and to smooth out ribbon passing between the pad and cartridge wall in advance of winding on the take-up spool.
In one embodiment a cantilever member formed with the cartridge is flexed by a cam on the cartridge cover to produce pressure on the friction pad secured to the member. In another embodiment, the member is wedged between spaced abutments in the cartridge such that overcentering action applies pressure to the friction pad.
