ink ribbon cassette

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain an ink ribbon cassette easy to handle at the time of attachment and detachment and not smearing the circumference by ink, by constituting said cassette so as to integrally providing a platen to the ink ribbon cassette. CONSTITUTION:An ink ribbon cassette 100 is constituted of a case 7, a lid 8 and a platen 9. The tension mounting part of an ink ribbon 15 is contacted with the surface of platen rubber 10 under pressure by the tension force of a sheet 16. Because the platen 9 is integrally provided to the cassette 100, it is unnecessary to perform not only the setting work of the ink ribbon such that the tension mounting part of the ink ribbon is inserted between a recording head and the platen at the time of mounting but also the detachment work of the set ink ribbon 15 at the time of the detachment of the cassette and the attachment and detachment of the ink ribbon is extremely simple and covenient. Further, because the setting and detachment works of the ink ribbon are unnecessary, a manipulator is perfectly prevented from touching the ink ribbon at the time of the attachment and detachment of the cassette 100 and the circumference such as a hand or recording paper is not smeared by ink.
