Abstract

In an endless inked ribbon cartridge wherein an inked ribbon received in a chamber is drawn out from the receiving chamber by a guide arm and then fed into the receiving chamber by another guide arm, and the inked ribbon is exposed between the guide arms for printing, a guide plate is disposed which covers the exposed inked ribbon except a part necessary for printing, thereby to prevent the inked ribbon from staining fingers or paper and from severing accidentally.
