Abstract: A port for replenishing ink on the side of a main ink tank advances and the nose or tip end of a main body of a pipe enters an ink replenishing opening on the side of a sub ink tank. When a valve body in the main body of the pipe and a valve on side of the sub ink tank are pressed with each other, a communicating port is opened by the valve body. When the main body of the pipe is further inserted into the ink replenishing opening, the valve is separated from a projection portion of a gasket, and a space therebetween starts to be widened. At this stage, as a lip portion of the gasket is not in contact with an outer peripheral portion of the main body of the pipe, an ink channel is opened to the atmosphere, the ink which is remained in or adhered to the outer peripheral portion of the main body of the pipe or an inside of the ink replenishing opening is absorbed into the sub ink tank dye ti a negative pressure in the sub ink tank.

Abstract: An ink jet printer is disclosed which, only when ink is to be supplied, supplies ink from a main tank disposed outside a carriage and which can effect the supply of ink stably without the leakage of ink. When it is detected by an ink level sensor that the ink level in a second ink chamber of an ink tank has become lower than a predetermined position, pipes in ports are inserted respectively into slit valves provided in the second ink chamber. Then, by operating a pump, the air present in the second ink chamber is discharged by suction to increase a negative pressure in the second ink chamber, allowing ink to be supplied from a main tank into the second ink chamber. Thus, since the supply of ink is performed by a negative pressure, it is possible to prevent the leakage of ink from the portion where the pipe is inserted into the slit valve.

Abstract: Particulates, particularly ultrafine particulates of titanium oxide having a BET specific surface area of from about 3 m2/g to about 200 m2/g, preferably from about 5 m2/g to about 200 m2/g, and more preferably from about 10 m2/g to about 200 m2/g are obtained using a vapor phase process of producing titanium oxide by oxidizing titanium tetrachloride with an oxidizing gas at a high temperature, wherein a titanium tetrachloride-containing gas and an oxidizing gas are reacted after preheating each gas at about 500° C. or more. The particulates, particularly ultrafine particulates of titanium oxide have less aggregation and have highly excellent dispersibility.

Abstract: The present invention provides an inkjet recording head cartridge and an inkjet recording apparatus that have a simple structure and high reliability. Since individual flow passages in which ink emission orifices are formed are communicated directly with a rectangular ink supply chamber, it is prevented that a bubble of such a size as to cause printing defects rises through an ink supply chamber and blocks the individual flow passages. Also, since ink heated within the ink supply chamber is moved upward to the ink tank chamber by convection and grows an air lump sealed beforehand, it is prevented that a bubble will grow in the ink supply chamber. Furthermore, by allocating a large cross-sectional area to the ink supply chamber, it is prevented that meniscus oscillation of the ink emission orifices is amplified by pressure oscillation caused by ink emission and causes a printing defect. Therefore, reliable printing can be performed with a simple construction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an ink jet recording apparatus which supplies a suitable amount of ink to a main ink tank for supplying ink to a recording head. The main ink tank placed over a movable carriage includes a first ink chamber which holds ink therein in a free state together with air. The main ink tank communicates with a sub-ink tank attached to its upper portion through a pipe. Ink in a sub-ink chamber of the sub-ink tank forms an interface with air by a surface tension at the pipe. When the sub-ink tank is scanned by the movable carriage in this condition, acceleration acts on the ink in the first ink chamber and the sub-ink chamber. As a result, the air in the sub-ink chamber 81 and the ink in the first ink chamber are interchanged with each other at the interface according to a change in pressure of the first ink chamber, whereby the ink is supplied from the sub-ink chamber to the first ink chamber.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid jet printing head, a method of manufacturing the same, and a liquid jet printing apparatus, which allow stable, high speed, and continuous printing. A liquid jet printing head provides an inflow of liquid from an inlet to a common chamber, then along with the surface of heating elements of a heating element substrate and with a wall of a housing to separate channels. Liquid drops will be ejected by heating the heating elements. Since liquid may flow linearly from the inlet to the separate channels in accordance with the present invention, smooth flow promotes evacuation of bubbles through a nozzle, while cooling the heating element substrate with liquid flowing along with the substrate. The present invention provides thereby stable printing with high speed, continuous ejection (printing) of liquid drops.
