Abstract

Mechanical braille writer. The braille writer includes a chassis supporting a plurality of finger operated keys with each key mechanically interconnected with an embossing mechanism so that depression of a key causes a corresponding one of a plurality of pals in the embossing mechanism to extend outwardly from the embossing mechanism to create a raised dot on paper adjacent to the embossing mechanism. The embossing mechanism comprises a block adapted for slidingly guiding the plurality of pins for paper contact. It is preferred that each one of the plurality of pins is straight and identical to the other pins.
