Abstract
A carriage guide for supporting a typing element carrier and composed of two guide rails extending parallel to a printing abutment, and pairs of guide rollers mounted on intersecting axes and connected with the typing element carrier for centering the typing element carrier at at least one of the guide rails, is further provided with first and second roller carriers carrying the guide rollers at sides thereof extending parallel to the rails, the roller carriers being disposed to intersect one another and the second roller carrier being provided with a slide edge, elements defining a common joint extending between, and parallel to, the guide rails and via which the carriers bear against one another, a tensioning spring element acting between the roller carriers, a receiving element carried by the first roller carrier at one of its sides parallel to the rails for establishing an articulated connection with the typing element carrier, and a supporting spring element cooperating with the slide edge for effecting a force-locking effective connection between the second roller carrier and the typing element carrier.
