Abstract (en)

[origin: US6666604B1] A thermal printing device is capable of being closed by clipping. The device according to the invention includes a printhead 2, a roller 4 integral with a gear assembly, whereon rests the printhead 2 when the device is in the printing position and two orifices 6, 7 on each lateral side of the frame, characterized in that the portion of the orifices 6 and 7 opposite the printhead is so configured as to present a position of unstable equilibrium of the roller when its axis is moving in said orifices 6, 7 when it is subjected to the pressure of the printhead. The invention is applicable to compact devices.
