  • Patent number: 8428492
    Abstract: A connection assembly of the photo-conductor drum is applied for linking a driving shaft. The connection assembly of the photo-conductor drum includes a drum gear and a connector. A first connection part arranged at an end of the drum gear. An end of the connector forms a second connection part corresponding to the first connection part. Another end of the connector forms a joint end. The joint end includes a central pillar, and a plurality of protrusions extending from a periphery of the central pillar. The second connection part could detachably connect to the first connection part. The joint end is detachably connected to the driving shaft. Therefore, by replacing the damaged drum gear or damaged connector only, the costs, quantity of the waste and the maintenance expend would be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20070222835
    Abstract: An ink cartridge includes a hollow ink tank body, a cover connected to a top of the hollow ink tank body; a pressure regulator arranged inside the hollow ink tank body, and a sealing ring enclosing a supply port of the hollow ink tank body. The hollow ink tank body defines a chamber therein, and the supply port is formed on a bottom thereof. The cover has an air vent penetrating therethrough and a handling member pivoted to a top surface thereof and rotatable for manipulation. The pressure regulator is connected to a hollow tube communicating with the air vent of the cover, so that atmospheric air passes through the pressure regulator via the hollow tube after a sealing film is removed. The sealing ring is made of elastic material to ease for penetration with a small aperture that can be shrunk to secure ink flow from the supply port.

  • Patent number: 6783219
    Abstract: An ink cartridge includes a hollow ink tank body defining an accommodating chamber therein. The ink tank body has an ink outlet port and a mounted seat being formed on a bottom surface thereof. A cover member has an ink filling inlet formed therein. The cover member is fixedly secured to the hollow ink tank body and sealing the accommodating chamber of said hollow ink tank body. A pressure regulator is mounted on the mounted seat and has a box body, an elastic member, and a cover body. As a result of a negative pressure will increase during printing, the elastic member will change its shape and allow air pass through it unidirectional, and because the elastic member has an elastic force, the ink tank still maintains a certain amount of negative pressure and thereof the ink will not leak through the pressure regulator to outside.
