Abstract
There is disclosed an improvement upon a cancellation type printing mechanism or a stored energy type printing mechanism having magnetic members, so-called armatures, attracted by a permanent magnet while resiliently deflecting resilient members connected to one end thereof. The magnetic members are associated with corresponding electro-magnets which are adapted to be energized selectively to release the associated magnetic members by cancelling the magnetic attracting force of the permanent magnet, so that the magnetic member is actuated by the energy stored in the corresponding resilient members thereby to drive the printing elements. One end of the magnetic member contacts the magnetic pole surface of the permanent magnet or a yoke mounted on the permanent magnet so as to form a fulcrum for the rotation of the magnetic member. A recess is formed on one side of the magnetic member facing a core of the electro-magnet, so that the magnetic member does not engage the corner of the core of the electro-magnet. According to this construction, the magnetic member is prevented from striking against the corner of the core.
