Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8602492A1] The printer has a set of needles (1) attached to a support (2) at one end, each comprising an electrical conductor formed in two symmetrical parts angled in opposite directions relative to the straight line between the two ends of the needle. The needle is connected at opposite ends of the angled central part to opposite poles of a current source (8,9). The needle (1) is acted on by a magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet (7) which exerts a force tending to straighten it when a current is passed through it, to effect printing. - The current source (8,9) pref. comprises a pulse generator (8) coupled to the primary winding of a transformer (9) which has a secondary winding connected across the needle (1).

Abstract (fr)

Les agiuilles (1) de cette imprimante sont alimentées par un conducteur électrique (10) associé au secondaire d'un transformateur abaisseur (9) connecté à un générateur d'impulsions de courant (8). L'aiguille 1 étant placée dans le champ magnétique d'un aimant permanent (7), le courant (I) qui traverse l'aiguille engendre des forces qui tendent à ramener cette aiguille sur une ligne droite joignant ses points d'appui et de guidage (2, 3) en dëplaçant l'extrémité libre contre un support d'écriture.
