  • Patent number: 9169861
    Abstract: A lock member shifts between a lock position for locking a cassette inserted in a device body and a lock release position for releasing the lock to enable the cassette to be removed from the device body. Further, a push-out member shifts between a push-out position for coming into contact with a catch member provided in the device body and pushing out the cassette in a removing direction and a retracted position. Then, in conjunction with rotation action from a first position to a second position of a lock release member attached to the surface of the cassette to be rotatable, the lock member shifts from the lock position to the release position, and the push-out member shifts from the retracted position to the push-out position.

  • Patent number: 8810619
    Abstract: Provided is a printer capable of ensuring a large peeling angle at the time of peeling between the transfer film and the ink ribbon by differentiating a conveyance direction of the transfer film at a peeling part on a proceeding passage from the proceeding direction. In the printer which forms an image on a transfer film 46 while feeding an ink ribbon 41 and the transfer film 46 to a print position between a platen roller 45 and a thermal head 40 which are mutually pressure-contacted, the transfer film 46 is wound to form a conveyance passage between a feeding spool 48 and a winding spool 47 in a film cassette 100 which is attached to a device frame in a detachably attachable manner, and a film conveying roller 49 and pinch rollers 32a, 32b are arranged at positions so that the conveyance passage of the transfer film 46 attached to the device frame is displaced to the inside of the cassette by a predetermined amount.
