Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9421467A1] The invention relates to a ribbon guide section for electronic printers, especially stylus printers, which contains the ribbon guide for the printer. So far, the ribbon (3) was pushed into the basic position over a bevel on the printing head (5) when the ribbon guide was fitted. This can lead to movement of the ribbon resulting in creasing or folding. To prevent this drawback, the invention provides for a ribbon deflector consisting of a rotatably spring-loaded component with two symmetrically arranged slides (2) over which the ribbon (3) runs in such a way that it is spread by the nose (4) of the printing head before being pushed on the printing head support (13). The rotatable, spring-loaded component is tilted backwards on being pushed on the printing head support and thus the slides (2) is set to its inoperative position so that the ribbon (3) bears directly on the nose (4) of the printing head.
