Publication number: 20220370940Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for removing an aerosol generated during a printing process. In an example there is disclosed a device which may comprise an air suction device, an air flow baffle, an aerosol absorber, and a droplet filter. The air suction device may draw air away from an area around a printhead nozzle, past the air flow baffle, through the droplet filter, towards the air suction device. The air flow baffle may cause a change in air flow direction such that at least some aerosol droplets contact the aerosol absorber.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Marcel Llorach To, Jordi Albert Gine, Kurt Vandenbergh

Publication number: 20210362971Abstract: In one example, a conveyance module to advance a belt toward a print station comprises a support structure to support a belt and to permit advance of the belt in a belt-advance direction toward a print station and a pair of guides. In this example, each guide is attached to the support structure and is to engage a portion of a belt. A first guide in the pair is attached to the support structure by a substantially rigid fastener to hold the first guide in a substantially fixed position relative to the support structure. A second guide in the pair is attached to the support structure by a resiliently deformable element to hold the second guide in a movable position relative to the support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2018Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ricardo SANCHIS ESTRUCH, Javier ONECHA CELLESTINO, Eduardo MARTIN ORUE, Daniel GONZALEZ PERELLO, Joaquim BRUGUE GARVI, Kurt VANDENBERGH

Patent number: 11020974Abstract: A connection arrangement is between first and second members pivoted together between open and lockable positions. The first member has a first connector and the second member has a second connector, said connectors being adapted to connect by linear movement between them. The first member has a user-actuatable handle adapted, when the first and second members are in said lockable position: during a first movement of the handle, to engage a latch member of the first member with a catch on the second member; and, during a second movement, to move the first and second connectors with respect to one another in a first linear direction between a disengaged and an engaged position of the connectors. A block element on the first member is arranged to prevent said first and second movements of the handle when said first and second members are not in said lockable position.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Daniel Gonzalez Perello, Kurt Vandenbergh, Joan Sanjuan, Francesc Roure Pastor, Santiago Forcada

Patent number: 10112395Abstract: An inkjet printer has a print bar system comprising a print bar and a plurality of selectively replaceable print heads attached to the print bar. The system comprises a receptor on the bar, for installation of a print head, each print head having a rear face for insertion in said receptor in a first direction. A latch is provided, pivoted on the bar. The latch has a user-actuatable handle adapted, during a first movement thereof, to engage a latch member of the latch with a catch on the bar to lock the latch in a lockable position on the bar. A platform is mounted on the latch with freedom to move with respect to the latch in said first direction when the latch is in said lockable position. The platform has a latch electrical connector, adapted to engage a head electrical connector on the print head, by mutual movement of the connectors in said first direction. A bias means urges the platform in said first direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Daniel Gonzalez Perello, Kurt Vandenbergh, Joan Sanjuan, Santiago Forcada, Francesc Roure Pastor
