  • Patent number: 6719414
    Abstract: An integrally-formed ink tube carrier for a printer is disclosed which has a plurality of carrier tubes arrayed in a substantially rectilinear fashion. The tubes are connected by integrally-formed connecting regions. The carrier tubes used to hold ink tubes are preferably closed, thus providing a secondary containment in the event of an ink leak. One or more of the tubes may be slit, allowing the insertion of electrical wires. The ink tube carrier is preferably formed of a plasticized nylon, an elastomeric polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), elastomeric nylon, or polyether block amides.

  • Patent number: 4227060
    Abstract: To locate an electric switch relative to a fixed part a bush having a plurality of mating members and a projection in an opening through the bush is positioned in the fixed part. The switch is positioned at one end of a switch carrier having an elongate portion which is also provided with mating members and a projection. The elongate portion is introduced axially into the opening and then rotated to cause the mating members to engage and axially locate the elongate portion in the opening. The projections take up relative positions in which they only permit rotation in the opposite direction to disengage the mating members when sufficient force is applied to deform one or both of the projections.
