Abstract

Abstract In a serial printer, where the printing is performed by a printing head (22) mounted on a carriage (21) movable along the printing line, a transparent leaf (36) mounted on the carriage presses the printing support (25) (paper) against a platen (24) around the zone where the impression is performed thus considerably reducing the noise generated by the printing support vibrations during the printing. Preferably the leaf is provided with a window (45) inside which the impression is performed in order to press the printing support against the platen all around the zone where the printing is performed. As the leaf is transparent, it does not preclude the visibility of what is printed. Beside as the leaf is mounted on the carriage, when the carriage is in its travel end positions, the leaf does not interfere with the loading of the printing support in the printer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 96 words
Antinoise device for serial printers of the type where a printing head is mounted on a printing carriage sliding along a printing line and the printing is made by the action of such printing head against a platen, a printing support being interposed between printing head and platen, characterized by that it comprises a transparent elastic leaf fixed to such carriage and elastically bending against such platen near the zone where said printing head impact the printing support, whereby said printing support is locally pressed against said platen by said leaf and its vibration is prevented.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 96 words
