(57) A printer head consists of a yoke (11), magnet members (12) mounted to the yoke,
a base plate (14) attached to the front of the yoke (11), and a plurality of head
pins (17) provided between the yoke (11) and the base plate (14). In this printer
head, the head pins (17) are arranged in straight rows, which are inclined at a specified
angle to the direction of stroke of the printer head. The base plate (14) is formed
with a plurality of through- holes (18) at positions corresponding to the head pins
so that the head pins can be advanced and retracted through the through-holes (18)
by the action of the magnet circuit.
