shaped top cover 13 is provided with a gulf 34 in the vicinity of the winding spool 6 for easily connecting the ink ribbon 7 to the winding spool 6 by the use of a finger . a feed spool side opening 14 is disposed on a feed spool side of the ribbon cartridge 1 for easily inserting and removing the feed spool 5 into and from the ribbon cartridge 1 . the feed spool side opening 14 has a gulf 33 for easily inserting the feed spool 5 into the ribbon cartridge 1 . as shown in fig6 and 11 , a c - shaped first feed spool spring 11 pivotably connected to a fixed pin 15 through a pivotal spring ring 110 disposed at one end thereof is alternatively engaged in spring holders 16 and 17 . also , the first feed spool spring 11 has a semi - circle 111 disposed around the center thereof and extends a spring arm 112 and a hook 12 at the other end thereof for passing the ink ribbon 7 therethrough and maintaining a constant tension on the ink ribbon 7 between the feed spool 5 and the winding spool 6 . as shown in fig7 and 12 , a c - shaped second feed spool spring 20 symmetrically disposed at the c - shaped first feed spool spring 11 is pivotably connected to a fixed pin 21 through a pivotal spring ring 210 thereof . also the second feed spool spring 20 is provided with an end engagement 22 at one end thereof for readily engaging with a plurality of stoppers 23 , 24 , 25 , and 26 disposed on the inside surface of the front casing cover 3 of the cartridge 1 for stopping the spring arm 22 between the stoppers 23 and 24 , 24 and 25 , or 25 and 26 so as to give a constant biasing force to the semi - circle 200 for tight positioning against the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 ( fig2 and 3 ). the second feed spool spring 20 has a semi - circle 200 disposed around the center thereof and extends a spring arm 113 . the spring arm 112 of the first feed spring 11 and the spring arm 113 of the second feed spring 20 define an angle of 60 ° to 90 ° therebetween ( fig1 and 7 ). thus , the feed spool 5 can be easily engaged between both semi - circles 111 and 200 of the first and second feed spool springs 11 and 20 through the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 . the hole 114 disposed on the front casing cover 3 can easily look and check whether the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 containing both semi - circles 111 and 200 of the first and second feed spool springs 11 and 20 is located in the proper position or not . as shown in fig7 , 9 , and 10 , a fixed pin 52 supported on the casing base 2 receives a pivotal spring ring 54 of l - shaped spring 50 . the spring 50 is engaged in a hub 60 of the winding spool 6 at one end 51 and biased against an l - shaped lever 40 at the other end 53 thereof ( fig1 ). the lever 40 has an l - shaped lever end 41 for locking with an edge of a lever opener 28 by pushing the lever opener 28 into the inside of the cartridge 1 in the direction indicated by an arrow from the open position shown in fig7 to the closed position as shown in fig8 . thereafter , when a finger stopper 29 of the lever opener 28 pushes into the outside of the ribbon cartridge 1 , the lever 40 is released in the direction indicated by arrows from the closed position shown in fig8 to the open position as shown in fig9 . thus , the lever opener 28 is slidably engaged between the bottom plate 30 and both raised portions 45 and 46 ( fig4 ). as shown in fig7 the driver roller 4 has a jagged wheel 44 for resisting the used ribbon 7 of the winding spool 6 and maintaining a constant tension on the ink ribbon 7 between the feed spool 5 and the winding spool 6 so that the ribbon 7 from the feed spool 5 has a substantially constant resilient force . as shown in fig1 , the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 is provided with a global pin 151 disposed on the bottom plate 150 and a raised edge 152 disposed on the top plate thereof for preventing both semi - circles 111 and 200 of the first and second springs 11 and 20 from separating therefrom . the ink ribbon 7 is wound along a lower part 153 of the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 . referring in detail to fig1 and 15 , there is illustrated an another embodiment of an ink ribbon cartridge 1 according to the present invention . instead of the first feed spool spring 11 of fig1 bridges 221 and 222 and a stop bridge 223 maintain the position of the feed spool 5 for slidably inserting the feed spool 5 into the cartridge through a guide road 229 disposed between both bridges 221 and 222 ( fig1 ). the plurality of stoppers 23 , 24 , 25 , and 26 are disposed on the inside surface of the front casing cover 3 for stopping the spring arm 22 between the stoppers 23 and 24 , 24 and 25 , or 25 and 26 so as to give a constant biasing force to the semi - circle 200 for tight positioning against the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 . referring in detail to fig1 and 17 , there is illustrated an additional embodiment of an ink ribbon cartridge according to the present invention . in the ink ribbon cartridge 1 of fig1 the c - shaped first feed spool spring 11 is removed and the c - shaped second feed spool spring 20 is disposed on the front casing cover 3 . a fixing pin 321 is supported on the front casing cover 3 for pivotably receiving the spring ring 210 of the second feed spool spring 20 . a plurality of stoppers 323 , 324 , 325 , and 326 are supported on the front casing cover 3 for stopping the spring arm 22 between the stoppers 323 and 324 , 324 and 325 , or 325 and 326 so as to give a constant biasing force to the semi - circle 200 for tightly keeping a portion disposed below the raised edge 152 of the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 . the feed spool 5 can be slidably inserted into the ribbon cartridge 1 through a space 301 disposed in the right side portion of the front casing cover 3 . at that time , the raised edge 152 of the hub 18 and the second feed spool spring 20 come up over the front casing cover 3 ( fig1 ). referring in detail to fig1 and 19 , there is illustrated another additional embodiment of an ink ribbon cartridge according to the present invention . in the ink ribbon cartridge of fig1 and 17 , the c - shaped second feed spool spring 20 is disposed on the inside surface of the front casing cover 3 . accordingly , the fixing pin 321 , and stoppers 323 , 324 , 325 , and 326 are supported on the inside surface of the front casing cover 3 . at this time , the raised edge 152 of the hub 18 comes up over the front casing cover . however , the second feed spool spring 20 does not come up over the front casing cover 3 . according to the present invention , the ink ribbon cartridge operates as follows : as shown in fig1 and 12 , the feed spool 5 is inserted into the space between the first feed spool spring 11 and the second feed spool spring 20 for tightly mating the upper portion 154 of the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 with both semi - circles 111 and 200 of the spool springs 11 and 20 . at this time , the spring arm 22 engages in the space between the stoppers 23 and 24 , 24 and 25 , or 25 and 26 according to the tension of the second feed spool spring 20 . for example , when the spring arm 22 is moved from the stopper 23 in the direction indicated by an arrow c , the extension arm spring 113 is moved to the upper portion in the direction indicated by an arrow d as shown in fig1 so that the pressure of the upper portion 154 of the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 is increased for tightly keeping the feed spool 5 in the space between semi - circles 111 and 200 . thus , according to the position of the spring arm 22 it is determined how tight the semi - circle 200 of the second feed spring 20 holds the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 . in addition , the jagged wheel 44 controls the speed of rotation of the winding spool 6 . thus , by both of the above - mentioned factors , the ink ribbon 7 to be used for typing is maintained at a constant tension . the ink ribbon 7 from the feed spool 5 is connected to the winding spool 6 through the hook 12 , and guide pins 8 , 9 , and 10 . at this time , it is easy for the finger to attach the end of ink ribbon 7 to the hub 18 of the winding spool 6 through the gulf 34 ( fig1 ). also , at this time , the lever 40 is locked by the lever opener 28 . when the ink ribbon 7 of the feed spool 5 is finally moved to the winding spool 6 as shown in fig7 the exhausted feed spool 5 can be easily exchanged for a new one , and the winding spool 6 wound by the used ribbon 77 may also be removed from the cartridge 1 . that is , when the finger stopper 29 is pushed into the outside of the cartridge 1 , the lever end 41 is released from the lever opener 28 and the lever 40 can be pivotably moved from the original position to position a ( dashed lines ) in the direction indicated by an arrow as shown in fig7 . also , the winding spool 6 wound by the used ribbon 77 is moved the original position at position b ( dotted lines ) in the direction indicated by an arrow as shown in fig7 . at this time , the used ink ribbon 77 can be readily taken out of the winding spool 6 . thereafter , the frame of the winding spool 6 can be reused by inserting it into the ribbon cartridge 1 and locking the lever opener 28 . accordingly , the used ribbon cartridge 1 can be easily reused . as shown in fig1 , another embodiment of the ribbon cartridge according to the present invention operates as follows : after the second feed spool spring 20 is moved down in the direction indicated by an arrow from the original position to the position m ( dotted lines ) as shown in fig1 , the feed spool 5 is inserted into the ribbon cartridge 1 through the feed spool side opening 14 and tightly contacted to the corner of the l - shaped bridges 221 and 223 . at this time , the second feed spool spring 20 is returned to the original position and the extension arm spring is engaged within the space between the stoppers 25 and 26 . also , in order to give a tension to the ink ribbon 7 , the ink ribbon 7 has to pass a spring end 227 of a pivotal spring 225 about a fixing pin 228 the other end spring 226 of the pivotal spring 225 biasing against the top cover 13 . as shown in fig1 and 17 , the additional embodiment of the ribbon cartridge according to the present invention operates as follows : after the second feed spool spring 20 is moved into the upper position , the feed spool 5 is inserted into the ribbon cartridge 1 through the space 301 . thereafter , the second feed spool spring 20 is tightly contacted to the portion disposed below the raised edge 152 of the hub 18 of the feed spool 5 and the extension arm spring 22 is engaged in the space of the stoppers 323 and 324 supported on the rear casing cover 3 ( fig1 ). at this time , the feed spool hub 18 comes up over the rear casing covers 3 . as shown in fig1 and 19 , the other additional embodiment of the ribbon cartridge according to the present invention operates same as the ribbon cartridge in fig1 and 17 . only the second feed spool spring 20 , the fixing pin 321 , and the stoppers 323 , 324 , 325 , and 326 are disposed within the ribbon cartridge . the invention being thus described , it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways . such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention , and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included in the scope of the following claims .
