Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A cassette for a facsimile recorder comprises a plastic housing for a roll of recording web with opposed lips forming an exit path for the web. At least one lip has two parallel ribs pressed in the sheet material extending across the web path so as to stiffen the lip and urge it against the opposite lip and the web in between.

Description
In ~acsimi.le recorders of the type shown in United States Patent No. 3,875,577 to John M. Alden, dated April 1, ~ ~
1975, a web of moist electrolytic recordin~ paper is drawn ,'`
from a cassette through a recording zone ~etween a linear : ~-electrode on the cassette and scann~ng styli e,lectrodes carried on a belt along the l~near electrode ~ith which.the styli -. -cooperate to mark the paper with.graph~c si.gnal~ corresponding to electric facs~mile or like signals applied to the t~o electrodes.
Whether the scanning eIectrodes,are styli as in the above c~ted patent or a hel;cal electrode on a rotating drum ,`'' ~.' the present invention reIates to an improYement of the cassette . ~ .-enclosing the recordin~ ~eh supply.
According to th.e invention there is prov~ded a ,,~
cassette fox a ~csimile reco~der .i.ncluding a s.canning electrode for marki:ng a web drawn from the cassette, th.e .,;',.. '~,,.'~.',.

The web end 8 passes between a linear electrode 10 and a well known ~ -helical electrode 11 curved around a rotating drum 12, the two electrodes cooperating to mark el~ctrical signals on the web as is well k~own in the facsimile art.
The linear electrode lO is L-shaped with the long leg 13 of the L adhered to the upper cassette lip 14 which, with the lower lip 16 forms , . . .
an exit path for the web from the cassette 6. The shorter leg 17 of the `
-L-shaped linear electrode extends nearly at right angles to the longer leg .,~
13 toward the path of the recording web 8. ~ `
The presen-t invention concerns one or more ridge indentations in ~, either one of the cassette exit lips 14 and 16. As shown in Figures 2 and ...~... ..
3 two parallel ridges 18 and 19 are formed downwardly in the lower lip 16. i~
These ridges individually comprise stiffening members which extend so as ; ~, to urge the lower lip 16 toward the upper lip 14 substantially entirely ~ ;
across the path of the recording web 8. The ridges 18 and 19 are rein- ;
forced by connecting arcuate end ridges 21 continuous with straight ridges 18 and 19, and surround a flat 20 extending between the two ridges 18 and 19. The ridges 18 or 19 also hold the web 8 in a plane parallel to the , `;
linear electrode. Further the connecting flat 20 is pressed by the ridges 18 and 19 against the upper lip 14 so as to appl~ back tension against withdrawal of the web 8 by the feed rolls 9, and additionally seal the cassette against the escape of moisture. `~
It should be understood that the present disclosure is for the `~ `;`
purpose of illustration only and that this invention includes all modifi-cations and equi~alents which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
