ABSTRACT (Fig 1) RIBBON CARTRIDGE FOR PRINTING MACHINES The ribbon (17) has an external run between the type element (25) and platen of a daisy-wheel typewriter. This run stretches between terminal members (59) which protrude from side arms (33 and 34) of the cartridge casing (18) and are fixed to the distal ends of arms (39, 41) pivotally mounted in the casing (18) at (52). The arms (39, 41) are biased downwardly by wire springs (67) to expose the typing line. Ribbon lift levers of the typewriter raise the arms simultaneously to position a selected one of three tracks on the ribbon at the level of the typing point. The terminal members (59) slide on guides (62) at the ends of the side arms (33, 34), constraining the external ribbon run to lie always within and translate within a single plane. The edges of the guides (62) are curged so that the tilt of the terminal members (59) varies as they move up and down, in such a way as to maintain the ribbon uniform across the width of the ribbon (17). The arms (39, 41) are flexible and have pivotal play to permit these constraints on the terminal members (59).
