Abstract
A printing mechanism (10) includes a plurality of setting wheels (16) which are rotatably mounted about a common axis and with which endless printing bands (20) are in drive connection which carry in a region of their length at the outer surface printing types (22) and in another region of their length carry at the outside indicating types (24). The printing bands (20) are led round the setting wheels (16) and a deflection edge (18) spaced therefrom. By turning the setting wheels (16) said bands are adjustable. In another region of their length they are provided at the inner surface with teeth (50) for engaging in corresponding recesses (52) in the setting wheels. A setting shaft (42) carrying an actuating knob (48) can be brought into a drive connection with the setting wheels (16). To limit the turning angle of the setting wheels (16) stop means are provided which include stop shoulders (74, 78) disposed in the path of movement of the tooth (50) lying at the front in the particular adjustment direction of the printing bands (20). The stop shoulders are disposed directly adjacent the deflection edge (18).
