Torque-Limiting Carriage Return Knock-Off Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
43837778, May 17, 1983
Filed:
Jun 27, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/163841
Inventors:
Douglas H. Eskew - Lexington KY
Raymond M. Marowski - Lexington KY
Danny R. Sevy - Lexington KY
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
B41J 1970
US Classification:
4003146
Abstract:
A carriage return device utilizing a spring clutch and shock unloader spring is disclosed in conjunction with a cord tension sensing mechanism for detecting the cord tension increases when the paper carriage of a typewriter ceases to move and the carriage return drive mechanism continues to operate. It is desirable to disengage the drive mechanism at that point rather than to cause frictional wear or overloading of the motor pending a predetermined amount of driving time prior to disengagement. Upon the cord tension reaching a preset value, the clutch pawl will disengage the drive clutch and prevent further wear of the clutching arrangement. To prevent premature disengagement of the clutch, a shock unloading pretensioned spring is incorporated in the drive unit to absorb the initial shocks of clutch engagement and the forces experienced during acceleration of the paper carriage.
