Abstract
Abstract Device for printing dots selected from series of dots arranged on a line, comprising a from a of separately energizable electromagnets having movable cores, the pulses of which are transferred to printing styli striking a printing surface. According to the invention said electro-magnets, arranged in a common cage parallel to each other in the direction of striking, have their cores prolonged by pushing members acting upon levers arranged substantially along radii from the striking zone, said levers bearing on the periphery of said cage and holding at their free ends said printing styli and exerting on said cores an elastic pressure in the direction towards their rest positions.
