Abstract
In a wire dot print head having print wires extending through an opening of a guide nose, the guide nose comprises two halves. The print head may further comprise a wire guide which is fitted in the guide nose and through which the print wires extend, and the wire guide may be clamped by the two halves. In another embodiment, the half members have abutting surfaces provided with semi-circular grooves, which when the guide nose halves are assembled, form guide holes in which the print wires are slidably supported. The use of the two halves facilitates assembly of the print head and reduces noise.
