Abstract
Abstract A printing head is disclosed in which each attraction member is driven by a magnetic attraction and an impact printing operation is carried out by a strain energy caused by a displacement of a spring member provided on the attraction member. The fulcrum of rotation of the attraction member is defined between the attraction member and a magnetic polar face of a yoke constituting a magnetic circuit together with the attraction member. Means for adjusting the resilient force of the spring member is engaged with a free end of the spring member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A printing head comprising lever components each having printing wires and driving mechanisms for said lever components, each of said lever components driven by said driving mechanisms including a lever body connected to the associated printing wire, an attraction member provided at one end of said lever body and adapted to be attractively moved by a magnetic attraction of a permanent magnet interposed between yokes constituting said driving mechanisms, a spring member coupled to said attraction member and having a free end portion adapted to be biased to create a resilient force therein for displacing the associated printing wire, means for adjusting a resilient force of said spring member, said means including an insert member which engages said free end portion of said spring member while being received in an opening of said free portion for displacing the free end portion of the spring member toward the yokes, and wherein a fulcrum of rotation for said lever component is formed between said attraction member and a magnetic polar face of a yoke confronted with said attraction member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A printing head comprising lever components each having printing wires and driving mechanisms for said lever components, each of said lever components driven by said driving mechanisms including a lever body connected to the associated printing wire, an attraction member provided at one end of said lever body and adapted to be attractively moved by a magnetic attraction of a permanent magnet interposed between yokes constituting said driving mechanisms, a spring member coupled to said attraction member and having a free end portion adapted to be biased to create a resilient force therein for displacing the associated printing wire, means for adjusting a resilient force of said spring member, said means including an insert member which engages said free end portion of said spring member while being received in an opening of said free portion for displacing the free end portion of the spring member toward the yokes, and wherein a fulcrum of rotation for said lever component is formed between said attraction member and a magnetic polar face of a yoke confronted with said attraction member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The printing head according to claim 1, wherein said fulcrum of rotation for said lever component is made by a contact between said magnetic polar face of the yoke and an edge portion on a spring member mounting side of said attraction member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The printing head according to claim 1, wherein said fulcrum of rotation for said lever component is made by a contact between a magnetic attractive surface of said attraction member and an edge portion of a magnetic polar face of the yoke.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
The printing head according to claim 1, wherein a tapered portion is formed at an end of said insert member and a hole is formed in said free end portion of said spring member as said opening whereby said tapered portion of said insert is inserted into said hole of said free end portion of said spring member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
The printing head according to claim 1, wherein a shaft member having a small diameter is formed at an end of said insert member and a hole is formed in said free end portion of said spring member as said opening whereby said shaft member is inserted into said hole of said free end portion of said spring member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The printing head according to claim 5, wherein a frictionally resistive member is interposed between said insert member and said spring member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
The printing head according to claim 1, wherein a projection member is formed at an end of said insert member and a recess portion is formed in said free end portion of said spring member as said opening whereby said projection member is inserted into said recess portion of said free end portion of said spring member.
