Abstract

A character-carrying disc for a printing machine has a central hole surmounted by a circular portion which is situated out of the plane of a body of the disc and supported at a distance from the body of the disc by two diametrically opposed pillars. This circular portion is provided with two diametrically opposed ears enabling the disc to be gripped. The circular portion of the disc is provided with two small tongues which are elastically deformable and are directed axially, with free ends of the tongues being movable in two openings provided in the body of the disc. The small tongues are adapted to press resiliently on the shaft of the printing machine on which the disc is mounted for the purpose of retaining the disc in place on this shaft.
