  • Patent number: 4445647
    Abstract: A holding arrangement for the supply roll 6 of a tape-shaped recording medium is firmly arranged on the stationary part 1 of the cover of a printer. The holding brackets 2 are provided with bearings 22 which are open in the upward direction. Into these bearings there is inserted a tubular roll carrier 5 on which the supply roll 6 is supported in a freely rotatable manner. The holding brackets 2 are provided with rotatable latch bodies 3 by which the bearings 22 which are open towards above, can be closed. The latch bodies 3 are rigidly in connection with one another via a paper-deflecting yoke 4. In the turned up state of the yoke 4, the bearings 22 which are opened towards above, are unlatched. In order to enable the use of supply rolls of different widths A and B, one of the supporting brackets 2 is provided with a detachable spacing plate 7.
