pages 11 and 12), the housing member 161 with housing sections
130 and 131 have two abutting portions 130' and 131' which are
flexible and resilient enough to deflect during assembly onto
the printer 20 until arcuate portion 164 finally enters and
detents into a recess 165 in the shelf 44 to hold the
cartridge 24 detented essentially in the operating position
(Figs. 3 and 15). A latching gripper 84 (Fig. 2) engages a
grip member 85 on the cartridge housing 23 (Fig. 3).
Claim 34 is drawn to an ink ribbon cartridge for use in a
printer having a platen and a print head cooperable with the
platen for printing on a web of record members, the printer
having a guide with a recess, the cartridge comprising, inter
alia, a cartridge housing having a flexible wall which
deflects resiliently while the cartridge is being loaded onto
the printer in contact with the guide and which expands into
the recess when the cartridge is essentially in the operating
position. Dependent claim 35 sets forth the cartridge housing
as having a grippable surface by which the cartridge can be
latched to the printer.
