ABSTRACT:
An impact dot head for a printer includes a frame and a plurality of printing wires movably supported on the frame in a predetermined array. Each printing wire is bent by a different predetermined amount to be guided when moved. A plurality of armatures are respectively coupled to a respective one of the printing wires for moving the printing wires. A plurality of magnetic cores are respectively associated with each one of the armatures for selectively driving the armatures. Each of the armatures is driven by its respective magnetic core between a rest position and a printing position. A retaining member is supported on the frame and has a plurality of openings each of which is respectfully associated with one of the armatures. A plurality of coil springs each of which is supported in a respective one of the openings normally biases the armatures in the rest position. Each of the openings has a depth corresponding to the amount of bending of the printing wire associated therewith.
