Abstract: A paper transport device in printers (1), particularly in dot matrix printers, for the feeding of continuous webs (6) by transversely displaceable tractors (7, 8) which are arranged in pairs on the printer frame. The tractor pins (9) engage into the edge perforations of the continuous web (6) and the pin belts (10) are guided over at least one wheel (11) of the tractor (7, 8) and at least one driven tractor wheel (13) is present. The device is equipped with a locking device so that the tractor (7, 8) operating as push means or as pull means is mounted in each case on a drive shaft (14) and in each case prevented from turning on the printer fram (1a) by a projection (16) on the side (15a) opposite the drive shaft (14) or by a swingable tractor flap (24).

Abstract: Apparatus for the selectably alternative feeding of single sheets and of endless webs of paper in a printer includes a guide roll (7), and first and second groups (8, 9) of friction rollers concurrently movable between first and second positions to define respective single sheet and endless web feeding modes of operation. In their first positions, the first friction rollers (8) contact the guide roll (7) to define a first single sheet feed channel (4) and the second friction rollers (9) contact the guide roll (7) to define a second single sheet feed channel (5). When shifted to their second positions, the first friction rollers (8) are displaced from their first position contact with the guide roll (7) to substantially eliminate the first single sheet feed channel (4), and the second friction roller (9) are lowered to form with the guide roll (7) an endless web feed channel (6).

Abstract: A matrix printer is furnished with a matrix print head (1) supported on a back and forth movable slider (2), guided on a rail guide (3), wherein the print elements (4) can be operated at a high frequency.

Abstract: The printer with a substrate support (1) is furnished with a layer structure in a print support cross-section (11). The layer structure comprises a metallic print bar (13), a vibration-attenuating damping layer (14), and a metallic intermediate layer (15) disposed sequentially in print element operation direction (12), where the intermediate layer (15) acts only functionally as "intermediate layer." In order to avoid a space-requiring and bulky layer structure of an insulating layer (16), neutralizing the frequencies of contacting components, the frequency-neutralizing insulating layer (16) is formed by elastic caps (18) at the ends (17a, 17b) of a unit, where the unit is formed by print bar (13), damping and absorbing layer (14), and intermediate layer (15). The elastic caps (18) can be slid into the recesses (19) of the printer side walls (20).

Abstract: A circuit board arrangement that is for an electronic/electromechanical apparatus and that has a mechanically actuable switch for at least two different power line voltages includes a circuit board having a polygonal cutout therethrough, which defines a plurality of polygon sides. A plurality of contact surfaces on a first side of the circuit board is provided, each such contact surface being associated with a respective polygon side of the polygonal cutout. Each of the contact surfaces is connected to an electrical conductor of a power supply unit and is positioned such that a pair of contact surfaces opposite to each other with respect to the cutout correspond to one voltage. A contact spring extends into the cutout and has a pair of spring legs respectively contacting a pair of contact surfaces positioned opposite to each other with respect to the cutout.

Abstract: A device for the feeding or advancement of an edgeperforated paper web (1) in a dot-matrix printer or the like includes a pair of drive belts (3) transversely spaced apart proximate opposite transverse edges of the web, each belt carrying on its upper surface (6) a series of pins (7) for releasable engagement with the edge-disposed web perforations (11). To provide an increase in friction between the paper web (1) and the drive belts (3) during transport of the web, and thereby assure enhanced accuracy and precision in operatively advancing the web, a plurality of upstanding or outwardly-protruding projections (17, 17a, 17b, 17c) are defined on the upper belt surface (6). These projections are located at least in the flat sections (16) of the belt between adjacently or successively-disposed ones of the pins (7) and, in another form of the invention, additionally at and coincident with the locations of the pins (7) which interrupt the transversely-oriented projections.
