Recording head for a recording device utilizing electrosensitive recording paper

Claim 1

A recording device including a recording head for cooperation with an associated electrosensitive recording paper, said head comprising a plurality of wire-shaped recording electrodes which are arranged in a row transverse to the direction of movement of the recording paper, each electrode comprising a bent portion intermediate a freely movable extremity which serves as a recording pin and a connection extremity, a plurality of electrode carriers arranged in a side abutting row which is generally parallel to the direction of movement of the record carrier, each electrode carrier cooperating with one of said electrodes, each of said electrode carriers including an insulating sheet intermediate the electrode with which the carrier is associated and one adjacent electrode, said recording head being composed of a row of adjacently arranged electrode carriers, each electrode carrier consisting of a flat body having a chamber therein which includes a connection slot for cooperation with the connection extremity and a guide groove for cooperation with the recording extremity of the electrode, each electrode carrier also comprising a principal surface having a portion of a conductive material which extends without interruption at least between the connection slot and a connection tag formed on the body.
