Patent number: 8474947Abstract: An inkjet printing device printhead assembly includes a housing. The housing has a surface. A well is defined within the surface of the housing and is adapted to disposal of a printhead die therewithin. The surface of the housing has one or more grooves. The grooves have ends. Some of the ends are adjacent to the wall. The grooves externally expose the printhead die.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: John Doran, Joseph R. Elliot

Patent number: 7926916Abstract: An adhesive joint with an ink trap is provided. The joint may be employed in a cartridge for an inkjet printer. The cartridge includes a headland region attached to a printhead assembly by an adhesive layer. The adhesive joint between the headland region and the printhead assembly include notches for retaining additional adhesive in order to reduce degradation of adhesive due to ink penetration. A method of assembling the printer cartridge to include an ink trap in the adhesive joint is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Charles G. Schmidt, Joseph R. Elliot, James E. Clark

Patent number: 7111932Abstract: Methods and systems for managing contaminants are described. One exemplary method ejects fluid from multiple ejection chambers of a printing device in a pattern designed primarily to create fluid flow to move a contaminant present in fluid contained in a fluid-feed channel configured to supply fluid to the multiple ejection chambers. Responsive to the ejection, the method moves fluid in the fluid-feed channel sufficiently to move a contaminant in a desired direction within the fluid-feed channel.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development CompanyInventors: Mike Steed, Thomas H. Ottenheimer, Joseph R. Elliot

Patent number: 7029091Abstract: An inkjet consumable cartridge having an inkjet cartridge having nozzles. The inkjet consumable cartridge also has an inkjet cartridge holding device for holding the inkjet cartridge, a cap configured to interface with the inkjet cartridge, and a cap actuator that, when actuated, moves the cap from a position where the cap does not interface with the inkjet cartridge to a position where the cap interfaces with the inkjet cartridge sealingly covering the nozzles. Furthermore, the consumable cartridge is removable from a printer as a self-contained unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Joseph Stellbrink, Craig D.

Patent number: 6042225Abstract: Disclosed is a novel multi-chamber ink-jet print cartridge (pen) that is formed of a main body member divided into three sections, a center section, and two side sections. Cover members are attached to this main body section to define three ink chambers. Each ink chamber contains a synthetic foam member that receives a respective one of three primary colored inks. The main body member is molded to be a single unitary part, so that the only ink-to-ink sealing interface between inks of different colors occurs at the interface between the main body member and the printhead. The main body member is formed to have a center ink pipe that extends upwardly into compressive contact with the foam member in the center chamber, and two side ink pipes that extend outwardly in a direction orthogonal to the center ink pipe into compressive contact with the foam held in the side ink chambers.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1997Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: John M. Altendorf, Joseph R. Elliot, Mark Huth
