Abstract

An ink ribbon inking device, which utilizes a motor to carry an eccentric shaft to push the core of an inking pen to move up and down permitting the ink contained in such an inking pen to intermittently flow downward, and simultaneously to drive two ink ribbon driving shafts to carry the ink ribbon of an ink ribbon cartridge to rotate. The ink ribbon of the ink ribbon cartridge is squeezed in between the eccentric shaft and the inking pen so that it is smeared with the ink during reciprocating motion of the core of the inking pen.
