    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a clamp plate assembly for a print liquid supply is described. The clamp plate assembly includes a clamp plate which includes 1) two wedge-shaped forked ends to facilitate clamping a spout to a container in which a print liquid reservoir is disposed and 2) a slot defined by the forked ends to receive and retain the spout. The clamp plate assembly also includes a back plate approximately orthogonal to the clamp plate.

    Abstract: In one embodiment a print liquid supply apparatus is provided to supply liquid to a liquid needle of a receiving station comprising a liquid container including an at least partially collapsible liquid reservoir an interface structure at a side of the container, including a liquid channel that includes a reservoir connecting portion that fluidically connects to the reservoir and a needle receiving portion to allow the liquid to flow from the reservoir to the needle; a liquid interface of the liquid channel adjacent the needle receiving portion and at a distance from the reservoir connecting portion, a front wall and/or edge adjacent the liquid interface including a push area which is disposed between the liquid interface and the container; and at least one key pen base and key pen protruding from the base in a direction parallel and opposite to the needle insertion direction; and a contact pad array next to the needle receiving liquid channel portion. In another example a sub-assembly of such apparatus is provided.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, at least one print liquid supply interconnected is described. Each print liquid supply interconnect includes a housing movable relative to a printer and tethered via a feed hose to the printer. The housing includes at least one needle to be inserted in a print liquid supply to allow print liquid to move between the print liquid supply and an ejection device and two keyed slots disposed on either side of a first needle to gate insertion to a print liquid supply with protrusions that match the two keyed slots. The housing also includes a guide feature adjacent the first needle extending between a first keyed slot and the first needle and an electrical interface to establish a data transmission path between the print liquid supply and the ejection device, the electrical interface disposed between the first needle and a second keyed slot.
