  • Patent number: 10265957
    Abstract: In some examples, a print bar includes a body, a plurality of printing fluid dispensing devices mounted to the body, and an assembly to carry a printing fluid to the printing fluid dispensing devices. The assembly comprises a first part having outlets to receive the printing fluid from a first conduit, and a second part attached to the first part, the second part having inlets aligned with the outlets of the first part, the second part to carry the printing fluid to the plurality of printing fluid dispensing devices. The assembly further comprises a pliable gasket comprising first and second flat sealing surfaces sealing the first and second parts around a first inlet of the inlets and a first outlet of the outlets, the first flat sealing surface contacting a ridge on one of the first and second parts, and the second flat sealing surface contacting a flat surface on the other of the first and second parts.

  • Patent number: 9931859
    Abstract: In one example, a processor readable medium has instructions thereon that when executed cause a printer to: introduce an unsaturated printing fluid into a channel through which fluid may pass to a printhead; dispense unsaturated printing fluid with the printhead to remove air from the channel; and then introduce regular printing fluid into the channel; and dispense printing fluid with the printhead until regular printing fluid is dispensed from the printhead.

  • Patent number: 9539812
    Abstract: In one example, parts to be assembled into a fluid flow structure include: a first part having flat sealing surfaces each surrounding one of multiple first conduit openings; a second part having sealing ridges each surrounding one of multiple second conduit openings; and a single gasket having multiple holes each surrounded on both sides by a flat sealing surface. Each hole in the gasket is positioned to align with one of the first and second conduit openings so that, when the parts are assembled together, each gasket sealing surface contacts a corresponding one of the flat sealing surfaces on the first part or the sealing ridges on the second part and fluid may flow through the holes in the gasket from the conduit openings on one of the parts to the conduit openings on the other part.

  • Patent number: 9132640
    Abstract: A cap assembly is usable with a print head device having nozzles to eject fluid there through. The cap assembly includes an outer cap member, a sealing member, an intermediate cap member, and at least one resilient member. The outer cap member includes a main portion, at least one hinge portion to engage with the print head device to allow movement of the outer cap member toward the print head device to place the nozzles in a cap state, at least one latch portion to engage the print head device in the cap state, and at least one pedestal support portion extending outward from the main portion. The sealing member may seal the nozzles of the print head device in the cap state. The intermediate cap member may be disposed between the sealing member and the outer cap member. The intermediate cap member may support the sealing member.
