Attorney, Agent or Firm:

Apparatus for reinking ribbons that can accept ribbon cartridges of different kinds and shapes, and can be modified easily to reink reel to reel type ribbons. The apparatus includes a soft surfaced clamp for contacting cartridges of varying external shape. A tapered varying width drive head can engage within drive connection apertures of different diameters on different cartridges. The location of the inker is varied depending upon whether there is a right hand or left hand drive for the ribbon.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A primary object of my invention is to provide a novel ribbon reinking apparatus that can reink many different size and shape ribbon cartridges and reel to reel type ribbons with minor adjustment to the apparatus.
Briefly, the multiple use ribbon reinking apparatus of the invention includes a soft surfaced cartridge clamp for contacting and holding cartridges of varying external shape without damaging the cartridge including any projections on the cartridge.
Small and large cartridges and left hand and right hand drive cartridges may be positioned in the clamp.
The apparatus also includes a tapered varying width drive head which may be inserted into drive connection apertures on the cartridges, which apertures may vary in diameter depending upon the make and type of cartridge.
A cylindrical drive head may be substituted when reinking a reel to reel type ribbon.
The versatility of the apparatus is further increased by provision to easily reposition the inker to switch between right hand drives and left hand drives.
