Abstract: In a ink jet printing head, all essential elements are made integral with a monolithic part (2) acting as a base. Furthermore, the modulation body (10) cooperates with adjusting means (screw 84 and oblong holes 85) according to two angles (.alpha.) and (.beta.), situated in two perpendicular planes. The charge (71), charge-control (72l ) and deflexion (73, 74) electrodes are integral with a block (70). The electric isolation is provided particularly by means of a groove (89) and a web (90), thereby preventing any arc formation. The inventon can be applied to any ink jet printer.

Abstract: Such a device comprises a plurality of modules (1) each having a body (4) presenting an ink inlet (2) and a purging orifice (3), co-operating with the gun (5) of which the periphery carries two sets of O-rings respectively delimiting the ink supply chamber and the purge chamber. Said particular arrangement provides for the sealing while permitting a rotation (.alpha.) on 360.degree. of the gun and therefore a setting of the jet direction with respect to the axis of the nozzle ejecting the ink drops. Each of the modules (1) is further orientable about an axis (31) according to an angle (.beta.). The invention applies to the printing of multiple writing lines and to the optional covering of said lines.

Abstract: A printing head for equipping any printer of the continuous ink-jet type comprises a modulator element in which a body and an orientable cylindrical plate are incorporated in a modulator base. The orientable plate carries an ink-drop ejecting nozzle and is capable of optimizing the perpendicularity of the ink jet. The modulator element and an electrode-holder are rigidly fixed respectively to a casing and to a section of its cover which is pivotally mounted with respect to the modulator base. Slits formed in charging electrodes and charging-control electrodes can be positioned with respect to the axis of ejection of the ink jet.
