Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ink cartridge for ink jet printers.
  • ink jet printer ink cartridges There are currently two types of ink jet printer ink cartridges known in the market. Some use a porous substance or bundles of fibers to prevent ink leakage and to achieve uniform ink delivery. The others use a one-way valve and pressure-adjusting assembly with fiber inside the cartridge to control the even delivery of the ink.
  • an ink container having an absorption member for receiving ink, the ink container further comprising a buffer zone for temporarily receiving the ink and a port open to the atmosphere.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an easy to manufacture and highly efficient ink cartridge for printers create.
  • This new ink cartridge is designed to ensure a reliable and consistent delivery of ink and control the execution of the printing process.
  • the object is achieved by the device specified in claim 1 features.
  • an ink supply system consisting of a thin and long fiber around the ink outlet opening, consists of a downwardly extending and consisting of an elastic member or material lever and a labyrinth running capillary tube.
  • the thin and long fiber is joined together from tip to tip and extends to the ink orifice fixed firmly in the cartridge.
  • the labyrinth-like capillary tube and its arrangement guarantee that under normal conditions, the ink can not reach the thin and long fiber.
  • the lever attached to the cartridge consists of an elastic component joined together from tip to tip.
  • the initial section of the labyrinth type capillary tube is located at the lowest point of the ink tank.
  • the new ink cartridge can provide a reliable and consistent supply of ink and control the execution of the printing process evenly.
  • the ink cartridge comprises an air labyrinth, an arrangement that protects against the leakage of the ink, a capillary tube running in the manner of a labyrinth, a thin and long fiber, an ink tank, a lever, etc.
  • the air labyrinth Before the Cartridge is inserted into the printer, the air labyrinth must be opened. The air enters the ink tank through the ink leakage preventing arrangement. In the ink tank there is normal air pressure. After inserting the ink cartridge, the thin, long fiber presses firmly against the nozzle of the printhead. Meanwhile, the outlet of the cartridge and the print head are sealed. When printing starts, the thin and long fibers will supply the print head with ink evenly. The ink could pass from the ink tank through the labyrinth-like capillary tube into the fiber due to the pressure which also guarantees the correct amount of ink within the fiber. The air enters the ink tank through the air labyrinth.
  • the pressure within the ink tank is kept in a narrow, limited range, which increases the pressure range or pressure yield and reduces the manufacturing cost.
  • the consumption and especially the loss of ink is reduced, which also benefits the environment.
  • the new ink cartridge is well suited for mass production with guaranteed quality.
  • the ink cartridge as important components of the invention, a lever 1, an ink tank or ink tank 2, a capillary tube 3, which runs in the manner of a labyrinth, a thin and long fiber 4, an upper cover 5, an orifice 6, an arrangement 7, which prevents the leakage of the ink, an air labyrinth 8 and an ink filling opening 9 in the form of a nozzle 9 on the print head.
  • the air maze 8 Before the ink cartridge is placed in the printer, the air maze 8 must be opened. The air then flows into the ink tank 2, through the arrangement 7, which protects against the leakage of ink, and also maintains a normal air pressure in the ink tank 2.
  • the ink cartridge After the ink cartridge is inserted in the designated holder 10 of a printer (see FIG. Fig. 3a and 3b ), press the thin and long Figer 4 firmly against the nozzle 9 of the printhead.
  • the outlet opening 6 of the ink cartridge and the print head is sealed during this time.
  • the thin and long fiber 4 delivers the ink evenly to the printhead.
  • the ink tank 2 is under a slight air pressure, and the ink can get to the thin and long fiber 4 through the capillary 3 spiraling in the course of a labyrinth, which ensures the correct amount of ink content in the thin and long fiber 4 ,
  • the air passes through the air labyrinth 8 in the ink tank. 2
