Abstract
In a printing machine having a removable ribbon cartridge, means are provided for conveniently loading and unloading said ribbon cartridge on a support plate. Said means include guide means within the cartridge which cooperate with complementary guide means within the support plate for guiding the cartridge while it is being dropped-in onto the support plate; and lever operated cam/cam-follower means for then shifting the cartridge on the support plate to its final locked position. The cartridge unloading is performed through a reverse lever operation followed by a cartridge pick-up.
