Abstract
Abstract An impact receiving structure for an impact type printing mechanism, in which vibration members for guiding along branched paths the vibration of an impact receiving face member, which is vibrated by the striking energy of a printing hammer, are provided at other positions than the printing face of a platen or at the inside of a type drum in the impact type printing mechanism, and in which elastic vibration absorbing materials are packed in close contact with the vibration members, so that noise attendant with the printing hammer impact can be effectively attenuated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
An impact receiving structure for receiving impact by printing hammers in a printing mechanism, comprising: impact receiving face means for receiving impact by said printing hammers; vibration members coupled as a unitary structure to said impact receiving face means for guiding by branched paths vibration caused in said impact receiving face means by said impact; and vibration absorbing members disposed in close contact with said vibration members for absorbing said vibration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
An impact receiving structure for receiving impact by printing hammers in a printing mechanism, comprising: impact receiving face means for receiving impact by said printing hammers; vibration members coupled as a unitary structure to said impact receiving face means for guiding by branched paths vibration caused in said impact receiving face means by said impact; and vibration absorbing members disposed in close contact with said vibration members for absorbing said vibration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An impact receiving structure according to claim 1, in which said absorbing members include buffer members packed in spaces separating adjacent ones of said vibration members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
An impact receiving structure according to claim 2, in which said vibration absorbing members are composed of first buffer members packed in spaces separating adjacent ones of said vibration members, and a second buffer member coupled to the open ends of said branched paths to cut off said branched paths.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
70 words
An impact receiving structure according to claim 2, in which said vibration absorbing members are composed of first buffer members packed in spaces separating adjacent ones of said vibration members, a second buffer member coupled to the open ends of said branched paths to cut off said branched paths, and third buffer members disposed to divide the impact receiving face means in the lengthwise direction into a plurality of blocks.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
An impact receiving structure according to claim 1, in which said vibration absorbing members are formed unitary with said vibration members by molding.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
An impact receiving structure according to claim 1, in which said vibration members comprise spaced parallel fins integral with said impact receiving face means and said vibration absorbing members comprise vibration absorbing material in spaces between said fins.
