Publication number: 20160346968Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a liquid-ejecting head whereby in die slide injection molding it is possible to stably inject resin in secondary molding without damaging the shapes of parts that were formed in primary molding. In order for that, in the connecting section in which a convex section of a cover member is inserted into an opening of a liquid-supply member, the closest distance to the opening in the area where secondary resin is injected is made larger than the gap between the opening and the convex section. As a result, the resin is prevented from flowing into a liquid path during the secondary molding.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2016Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Satoshi Kimura, Yukuo Yamaguchi, Mikiya Umeyama, Satoshi Oikawa, Hiromasa Amma, Takuya Iwano, Naoko Tsujiuchi, Yasushi Iijima, Kyosuke Toda

Patent number: 8408677Abstract: Two arrays of ejection openings which eject relatively large amounts of ink are provided for each of different color inks and are disposed at symmetrical positions in the order of colors in a direction corresponding to a record scan. In addition, a single array of ejection openings which eject relatively small amounts of ink is disposed for at least one color ink. Since the symmetrical disposition in the color order of the ejection opening arrays which eject large amounts of ink prevents color unevenness from appearing even when the bidirectional recording is performed. Since the single array is formed of the ejection openings which eject small amount of ink, and which is used for highly precise recording, it is possible to avoid image deterioration due to the shift of dot formed positions, even when the recording head is mounted in an inclined manner attributable to the variation in manufacturing.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yasushi Iijima

Patent number: 8342648Abstract: To provide an inkjet head which includes high-density nozzle rows and which does not easily cause an ejection failure due to adhesion of ink mist around ejection orifices when a high-density image of a secondary color is printed with a small number of paths. An inkjet head includes at least two or more types of nozzle rows that eject different amounts of ink. When A is the cross section, with respect to an ink supplying direction, of an ink supply path from each ejection orifice to a supply port and L is the length of the ink supply path, the value of A/L differs between the two or more types of nozzle rows. The nozzle row of which the value of A/L is small is disposed outside an area between the nozzle rows that eject a largest amount of ink and that are arranged next to each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Chiaki Muraoka, Yasushi Iijima, Tomotsugu Kuroda, Naoko Tsujiuchi, Mikiya Umeyama, Masaki Oikawa, Yuichiro Akama, Keiji Tomizawa
