Patent number: 7513611Abstract: A station for storing and refilling a cartridge of a printhead has a container in which a seat is arranged for accommodating the cartridge to be refilled; the ink for refilling being contained in a collection chamber located in the bottom part of the container. The collection chamber communicates freely with a back-flow compartment located at the top, surrounding the housing and in free communication with the chamber. The feeding is effected by means of a capillary element contained inside an impermeable sheath extending vertically into the collection chamber and arranged centrally in a symmetrical position with respect to the base of the container. The capillary element penetrates into the housing in contact with the sponge of the cartridge to transfer the ink through capillarity. Feeding takes place solely and exclusively with the container in the vertical position whereas in any other position the ink flows into the back-flow compartment and the capillary element is no longer lapped against by the ink.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Telecom Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Mario Manzone, Paolo Poma

Patent number: 7273273Abstract: A container in which is arranged a housing borne by an upper wall of the container suitable for storing a color cartridge to be refilled. The container has at least three tanks containing the different color inks. The three tanks are substantially shaped as concentrical cylinders. More particularly, the outer tank completely encompasses the intermediate tank and both are arranged concentrically around the central tank. In the operating position, i.e. with the container in the vertical position, the ink is contained in the bottom part of each of the tanks in corresponding feeding compartments. Each of the tanks extends upwardly, i.e. in the direction of the upper wall, forming corresponding back-flow compartments concentrical and disposed ring-like about the housing, each of which communicates freely with the corresponding feeding compartment below.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2004Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Telecom Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Eber Calvini, Paolo Poma, Manlio Lombardo
