The device shown includes a displaceable spool retaining plunger 11, which holds spools in place until moved out of spool retaining position. It may at the same time co-operate with ribbon feed reversal levers 23. An alternative embodiment for carbon ribbons has spring lugs (38, Fig. 4, not shown) retaining the spools and apertures through which the spools can be pushed with the fingers to release them from the spring lugs. |
