DEFINITION
Classification: 400/222
Alternative clutch drive including clutch member directly connected to spool or spindle:
(under subclass 218) Subject matter wherein opposite ends of the ribbon* are attached respectively to first and second cylindrical members, the first member having a first driven coupling device secured thereto, and the second member having a second driven coupling device secured thereto, the first and second driven coupling devices being driven by a driving coupling device selectively engageable with either of the driven coupling devices or being driven by first or second driving coupling devices selectively engageable respectively with the first or the second driven coupling devices, the driving coupling device or devices being coaxial with the driven coupling devices and the driving and driven devices having a one-to-one drive ratio, and wherein shiftable means are provided to selectively cause a driving coupling device to operatively engage the first driven coupling device to move the ribbon in the first direction by winding the ribbon on the first member, or to cause a driving coupling device to operatively engage the second driven coupling device to move the ribbon in the opposite direction by winding it on the second member.
