Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0416305A2] A paper feed tractor for a printer uses an endless feed belt (10) comprising a flexible web (11) with projecting drive elements (12) on opposite sides of the web. The drive elements comprise two pieces, a pin (12a) on one side and a gear tooth (12b) on the other side of the web. The pins (12a) engage feed holes in the paper. The gear teeth (12b) are engaged by drive sprockets. In one embodiment of the invention, the web is a thin flexible band of metal, one of the drive element pieces is preformed with wear resistant material such as metal and the other drive element piece is formed by molding which also attaches the preformed piece to the band. In the second embodiment, the pin portion (12a) is preformed and the gear teeth (12b) and web (11) are formed by molding to the pin (12a) portions.
