Abstract: A coating head includes: a plurality of nozzles; a plurality of pressure chambers communicating with the plurality of nozzles; an ink flow path communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers; and a coating layer that is at least partially provided on liquid contact surfaces of the plurality of nozzles, the plurality of pressure chambers, and the ink flow path.

Abstract: An ink jet head includes a piezoelectric element that is driven in a d33 mode, a pressure generation chamber in which a pressure is generated by the piezoelectric element, and an individual ink supply flow passage that through which the ink is supplied to the pressure generation chamber. The ink jet head includes an individual ink discharge flow passage that through which the ink is discharged from the pressure generation chamber, and a nozzle that ejects the ink from the pressure generation chamber. In a cross-sectional view in a direction orthogonal to an arrangement direction of the nozzle, inner diameters of the pressure generation chamber, the individual ink supply flow passage, and the individual ink discharge flow passage are shorter on a part close to the nozzle than a part close to the piezoelectric element side. Accordingly, an ink jet head capable of ejecting high-viscosity ink can be provided.

Abstract: The ink jet device is provided with a plurality of ink jet heads including a plurality of nozzles disposed linearly with each other at intervals in a predetermined longitudinal direction and ejecting ink in different regions each other in the printing width direction; and a position adjusting mechanism performing rotating operation of changing the intervals in the printing width direction of the nozzles by rotating the plurality of ink jet heads around an axis perpendicular to the print surface of the print object, and performing a shifting operation of shifting at least one of the plurality of ink jet heads in the printing width direction.

Abstract: An ink jet head includes an actuator and a structure body. The actuator includes a thin film portion, a pressure chamber layer, and a filter. The thin film portion is deformed by application of a voltage to apply a pressure to an ink. The pressure chamber layer is formed on a surface of the pressure chamber and has a recessed portion. The filter is integrally formed with the pressure chamber layer so as to be disposed in the recessed portion, the filter having an aperture smaller than a diameter of a nozzle. The actuator is stacked on an upper surface of the structure body and joined to the upper surface thereof. A pressure chamber is formed by the recessed portion and the upper surface of the structure body, and the filter is disposed in the pressure chamber.

Abstract: An ink supply device for a printhead includes an ink cartridge and a damper device. The ink cartridge is connected to the printhead through a flexible tube. The printhead is mounted on a carriage that reciprocates, and discharges an ink drop to perform printing. The damper device is mounted on the carriage to relax pressure fluctuation of ink supplied from the ink cartridge to the printhead. The damper device has a case, an ink introduction passage, and a flexible plate. The case defines a pressure chamber communicated with the printhead. The ink introduction passage is communicated with the flexible tube, and is communicated with the pressure chamber. The flexible plate is provided so as to define a part of the pressure chamber, and has a waveform portion formed with a plurality of waveforms.
