Abstract
A hammer device for a printer includes a hammer bullet which is made up of a detent and a rectangular rigid part. One lateral edge of the rigid part is slidably guided by flanged rotary bearings located at a reference side while the other lateral edge is slidably guided by another flanged rotary bearing located at the opposite side. This causes the hammer bullet to perform true translation toward and away from a type wheel so that the detent is engagable with a desired fount detent to print a character of an excellent quality.
