  • Patent number: 6631982
    Abstract: In a liquid ejecting apparatus in which ink is supplied from an ink tank to a print cartridge detachably mounted on a carriage through a tube, connection between an ink needle at a tube side and an interconnecting member at a cartridge side can sealingly be effected positively, and ink supplying and connecting means can be made compact. A closing film having a small hole and a central slit is provided at a tip end of an interconnecting member made of soft material and fitted into an ink flow-in projection portion of the print cartridge into which an ink needle is inserted. Further, a notched needle tip end avoiding configuration is provided at a lower part of a tip end of the projection portion so that abutment between the projection portion and the ink needle can be avoided when the print cartridge is mounted and dismounted, thereby reducing a shifting amount of a needle holding member.

  • Patent number: 6591500
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a liquid discharge head having an opening for discharging liquid droplets, a wall member constituting a liquid flow path to the opening, a substrate provided with and for creating a bubble in the liquid, and a movable member supported by and fixed to the substrate with the discharge opening side thereof as a free end displaced away from the substrate by pressure produced by creating the bubble to thereby direct the pressure to the discharge opening side including the steps of preparing the substrate and movable member, filling the gap between the movable member and the substrate with a liquid photo-curing resin, spin coating the resin until the resin covers the movable member, exposing an area of the resin to light to harden a portion corresponding to the wall member, and removing the unexposed portion of the photo-curing resin.

  • Publication number: 20030067517
    Abstract: An ink jet recording head comprises an ink tank, a nozzle for discharging ink, a liquid chamber for retaining a specific amount of ink supplied from the ink tank through a filter, while supplying ink to the nozzle, and a covering member to be bonded to the liquid chamber, and on the circumference of the liquid chamber, a groove is formed to enable bonding agent to be coated therefor, and on the circumference of the covering member, an extrusion is formed to be fitted into the groove. For this ink jet recording head, gas releasing means is provided for releasing gas remaining in the bonding agent to the outside of the groove when the covering member is bonded to the liquid chamber by fitting the extrusion into the groove after the bonding agent is coated in the groove.

  • Patent number: 6546205
    Abstract: A charging circuit detects a battery voltage Vp and a charging voltage of a main condenser. When a charge of the condenser is instructed, if the battery voltage is smaller than prescribed value Vpo, the charge is performed in a single control mode. And then, when the charging voltage of the main condenser is larger than a prescribed value Vco, the mode is changed to a push-pull control mode from the single control mode. When the charge of the condenser is instructed, if the battery voltage is larger than prescribed value Vpo, the charge is performed in a push-poll control mode independent of the charging voltage.
