2.1.6 Forced Tape Eject Mechanism
The forced tape eject mechanism consists of the stationary roller unit and the eject
roller unit interlocked with the cutter mechanism.
Upon completion of printing and tape feeding to operate the cutter mechanism, the
cutter helical gear rotates counterclockwise, as described in Subsection 2.1.4.
Projection “A” (which is fitted on cam “G” of the eject roller unit) operates the eject
roller unit to pivot it around shaft “H”. Immediately before the cutter starts cutting
the printed tape, the tape is pressed against the stationary roller by the eject roller
and held in place until the cutter completes cutting the tape. These operations of
the cutter and the eject roller unit are controlled by cam “G”.
Upon completion of the cutting of the tape by the cutter, released cam “G” causes
the spring to slide the eject roller unit in direction “J”. At this time, the two cams and
springs below the eject roller rotate the eject roller in direction “K” to eject the tape
that has been held in place.
Subsequently, the eject roller unit stops at stopper “L” of the stationary roller unit.
