Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0207781A1] An impact mechanism for a printer for delivering a printing force to drive a character element (45) against a platen (10) by means of a print tip (34) movable toward and away from the platen has the print tip supported upon a carriage (22) mounted upon the printer for reciprocating movement in a path substantially parallel to the axis of the platen. The impact mechanism includes a bail bar (56) extending substantially across the printer and mounted for rocking movement about an axis parallel with that of the platen. A prime mover (88) is connected to the bail bar for imparting controlled rocking movement thereto. The print tip and the bail bar are interconnected so as to move the print tip toward and away from the platen as the bail bar is rocked.
