Patent number: 10071578Abstract: Examples of a mounting device and method are disclosed herein. An example of the mounting device includes a carriage to hold a printhead assembly and an interconnect assembly to supply printing composition to the printhead assembly. The mounting device also includes a first latching assembly having an engaged condition to lock the interconnect assembly to a manifold of the printhead assembly and a disengaged condition to unlock the interconnect assembly from the manifold of the printhead assembly.
