Abstract
An assembly is formed of a first core and a second core on which cores an ink ribbon is wound and a supporting member detachably supporting the first and second cores so as to keep them a predetermined distance. The assembly is set into a setting hole formed on a bottom plate of a cassette body, the setting hole being divided into a first hole part for rotatably supporting the first core, a second hole part for rotatably supporting the second core, and a third hole part connecting the first and second hole parts which are a predetermined distance from each other, the distance between the first and second cores supported by the supporting member corresponding to the distance between the first and second hole parts. The supporting member is detachable from the first and second cores and drawn from the cassette body through the setting hole, so that the first and second cores respectively remain in the cassette body in a state where the first and second cores are respectively set into the first and second hole parts formed on the bottom plate of the cassette body.
