  • Ink-jet printer with pneumatic deflector
    Patent number: 4190844
    Abstract: An ink-jet printer of the continuous-droplet-stream type which, in place of electro-static deflection of the stream, uses a pneumatic deflector. Deflection may be on an "on-off" basis for line at a time printing, or on a continuous basis for character-by-character printing. It may also be used in facsimile receivers.

  • Ink-drop print-head
    Patent number: 4184169
    Abstract: A drop-on-demand ink-drop printer (as opposed to a continuous-droplet-stream printer) has a printhead through which ink flows continuously. In the vicinity of the orifice through which drops are expelled there is a constriction, for instance a Venturi tube, which (a) maintains a negative meniscus at the orifice, and (b) prevents any accumulation of detritus or gas at the orifice. The ink drop is expelled by some form of shock-wave producing means.
