Abstract: A toothed drive belt for a printer or other device is provided at each end with a slotted clip or termination which is secured in place by engaging slots therein with teeth on the belt and by wrapping the termination around the end portion of the belt. The termination includes an aperture in a portion extending outwardly from the end portions of the belt. A tensioner for retaining the belt in operative relation to associated gears or other elements includes hooks which engage the apertures in the terminations. The terminations can be assembled on the belt ends by engaging the ends of the belts with termination portions of an article including both termination portions and an interconnecting portion, bending side portions and fingers of the termination portions around the end portions of the belt, and then removing the interconnecting portion.

Abstract: A cut-off mechanism for severing a record member in a data terminal device is disclosed which includes a cutting wheel mounted on a pivoted support arm member which is so mounted that when rocked about its pivot by an actuating member such arm member moves the cutting wheel in a rectilinear plane along a guide member to cut across the record member. The support arm member is pivoted on a stud positioned within an arm member slot which allows the arm member to move in a vertical direction as the cutting wheel traverses the record member. Provisions are made to change the position of the pivot point of the arm member and the actuating member to vary the length of the cutting stroke of the cutting wheel allowing for partial cuts of the record member to be made.
