Abstract

A holder for a ribbon for typewriters or similar machines where the holder is insertable into a receptacle. The holder must assume a firm and above all functionally correct connection with the receptacle. For this purpose two sliders with hook-shaped ends are disposed on pivotable side elements of the receptacle. These hooks embrace in their locking position edges provided on the ribbon guide arms. Only when the hooks are in their closed position can the combined device be inserted into the typewriter or the printer. The operationally correct insertion of the combined device would be prevented by a side element which is not closed or a protruding slider with its hook.
