Abstract
A reuseable ink ribbon cassette which is capable of accommodating ink ribbons having different widths. The ink ribbon cassette comprises a first cover member, a second cover member and a plurality of support shafts for adjustably and detachably securing the first and second cover members together. The first and second cover members each have a plurality of seats for rotatably supporting an ink ribbon supply spool and an ink ribbon take-up spool between the first and second cover members when the first cover member is detachably secured to the second cover member. The support shafts have a plurality of detents thereon which permit the first cover member to be adjustably and detachably secured a preselected distance away from the second cover member, thereby enabling the ribbon cassette to accommodate ink ribbons having different widths.
