Abstract
An impact dot head of a printer provided with a plurality of printing wires. The top end guide and/or the nose formed with protrusions at the sides thereof and with holes for slidably guiding the tips of the printing wires. The top end guide is inserted into a hole and grooves of a nose. The protrusions are then deformed to interlock within the apertures in one of the nose and top end guide, so that the respective end surfaces of the top end guide and the nose surface confronting the printing medium are in a predetermined relation, preferably essentially flush. Further, a method is provided for mass producing the impact dot head at a relatively low cost by using heat to deform the projections made of a thermoplastic resin.
