<p>A cartridge (6) for a typing ribbon (7) comprises a container (9) having a bottom (11) with a series of seat openings (37) provided at positions confronting a supply reel (25), and a cover (16) having a series of ribs (29) which project into the container (9) at positions confronting the wheel (25). A blocking element (8) comprises a flat plate of limited thickness having a series of dished portions (36) capable of being forcibly fitted into the corresponding seat openings (37) of the bottom (11) to lift the supply reel (25) and urge the upper edge of the ribbon (7) against the ribs (29), which prevents the turns from unwinding during storage and transportation of the cartridge. Channels 21, 22 and 23 co-operate with fixing elements (19,24) on the machine and an opening 31 provides access for a sensing element (32). The blocking element (8) comprises a first limb portion (38) capable of covering the channel (23) and the opening (31) and a second limb portion capable of covering the channel (21) in such a way as to prevent the cartridge (6) from being mounted on the machine when the blocking element (8) is mounted on the cartridge.</p> |
