Abstract: A printer that can reduce a manufacturing cost is obtained. The printer according to the invention includes a casing as a base member, a movable member and a spring. The movable member is movable with respect to the casing. The spring is located between the casing and the movable member. The casing is provided at a position opposed to the lower end of the spring with a projected portion (circular convex portion) arranged to pinch the lower end of the spring. The position of the spring with respect to the casing is fixed by the state in which the lower end of the spring is arranged radially inside the circular convex portion. The movable member is provided at a position opposed to the upper end remote from the lower end of the spring with a fixing portion (projected fixing portion) for fixing the upper end of the spring.
Abstract: An electronic calculator utilizing a programmable read-only memory (PROM) cartridge for control of a number of the calculator functions is provided with a bezel which is snap-fit into a keyed opening in the calculator housing and guides a connector on the cartridge into simple and reliable electrical connection with a connector in the calculator. The bezel, which is simply and inexpensively constructed of plastic, has at least one bevelled outer surface to insure proper orientation of the bezel in the keyed opening and has at least one bevelled inner surface which cooperates with a corresponding bevelled outer surface on the cartridge to prevent improper orientation on the cartridge during insertion thereof into the bezel. The cartridge cover is also simply and inexpensively constructed of plastic, has self-aligning parts, and may be assembled by using a single screw.
