Abstract: An improved, disposable inexpensive feed mechanism is uniquely incorporated in a cassette having a flexible or movable wall (2a) driven by contact with a moving printer carriage or the like. Friction facing (7) of the moving wall cooperates with a fixed friction facing (9) on an interiorly placed portion (10) of a cassette wall (2b) with a ribbon (15) between the two friction faces. The friction facing of the movable part has angled fiber elements that engage the ribbon in one direction but slip easily over the ribbon in the opposite direction. The moving printer carriage (13) or the like contacts a movable portion (2f) of the cassette wall (2a) in each pass and indexes the ribbon slightly to provide a fresh supply across a platen. The entire mechanism is disposable, is contained in a single clean package and is very low cost. No rollers, feed roll drives or motors are required.

Abstract: An electronic equipment drawer is aligned with an electrical connector in a tunnel in the horizontal and vertical directions with alignment pins and holes. A screw drive and cam mounted on the drawer engages a tunnel wall and controls insertion into the tunnel to provide proper electrical contact and lock the drawer in place in the tunnel. A bus extender card inserted in a connector centrally located on a mother board is supported by surfaces on a bar extending between end walls of the drawer. The end walls include pairs of channels on opposed walls which support feature cards inserted into connectors mounted on the bus extender card.

Abstract: A printer is disclosed in which a character forming print head is disposed on a carriage which pivots about a central point to describe an arcuate path, adjacent to which is situated an arcuate platen. The media to be marked upon conforms to the arcuate shape of the platen. The print head oscillates or reciprocates from one end of the arc to the other, and back. The arcuate path length may be varied to encompass printing in one or more coplanar stations on an arc in the plane of the print head and pivot.
