摘要： Disclosed is a novel multi-chamber ink-jet print cartridge (pen) that is formed of a main body member divided into three sections, a center section, and two side sections. Cover members are attached to this main body section to define three ink chambers. Each ink chamber contains a synthetic foam member that receives a respective one of three primary colored inks. The main body member is molded to be a single unitary part, so that the only ink-to-ink sealing interface between inks of different colors occurs at the interface between the main body member and the printhead. The main body member is formed to have a center ink pipe that extends upwardly into compressive contact with the foam member in the center chamber, and two side ink pipes that extend outwardly in a direction orthogonal to the center ink pipe into compressive contact with the foam held in the side ink chambers. The disclosed multi-chamber pen thus allows for a narrow pen body with a small printhead, yet also provides for a large volume of ink in each of the three ink chambers, without the need for a separate manifold member and the disadvantageous introduction of additional ink-to-ink interfaces.

摘要： In order that ink leakage be reduced from a compressed foam storage ink container for an inkjet printer cartridge, at least one of the walls of the container is provided relief pockets having air spaces free of the compressed foam. At least one vent channel communicates between relief pockets and ambient air pressure to provide pressure equilibrium.

摘要： An ink-jet pen is disclosed that has a body of resilient felted polyurethane foam mounted in an ink chamber for ink retention and backpressure. A rectangular ink pipe extends from a bottom wall of the ink chamber between the walls of the ink chamber. A wire mesh filter is mounted to the ink pipe. The ink pipe and mesh filter extend into compressive contact with the foam to locally increase the capillarity of the foam. Any air that comes out of solution collects as a bubble in the rectangular ink pipe. This bubble does not block ink flow to the printhead, however, because the corners of the rectangular ink pipe provide a fluid capillary path. The bubble tends to form in a spheroid shape and does not extend into the corners of the ink pipe. In addition, rectangular filters are used, which reduces waste and expense compared to circular filters.

摘要： Disclosed is a novel inkjet print cartridge (pen) in which a body of polyurethane foam is inserted into an ink chamber of the pen for ink containment and backpressure. The ink chamber has a tall narrow aspect ratio. The body of polyurethane foam is felted in the width direction of the pen to have a width less than 20% of its pre-felted width. After felting, the body of foam is cut to have a "near net size" as the interior volume of the ink chamber. Specifically, the pre-insertion volume is less than about 130% of the interior volume of the ink chamber. The substantial felting in the width direction provides sufficient stiffness to the foam that it can be inserted into the tall, narrow aspect ratio ink chamber.

摘要： The back pressure of an ink pen is maintained by providing a capillary member adjacent a bubble generator. Regardless of the orientation of the pen, the capillary member maintains a quantity of ink adjacent an orifice defined by the bubble generator. The quantity of ink serves to supply a liquid seal formed in the orifice. As the back pressure within the ink pen rises to its maximum level, the liquid seal within the orifice is overcome and ambient air bubbles into the reservoir to lower the back pressure. As the back pressure returns to a desirable point, ink trapped by the capillary member enters the orifice to reseal the orifice.

摘要： An inkjet storage container sealing mechanism includes a cover, a receptacle, a gasket compressed normal to its insertion and a support member to maintain a seal that is resistant to ink and air penetration. The receptacle has sidewalls that form an opening. A gasket is stretched over a portion the cover, then the gasket and the portion of the cover is inserted into the opening of the receptacle. The gasket forms a seal between the cover and the receptacle. The compressive forces acting on the gasket to form the seal do not contribute additional forces to a mechanical joining mechanism, which attaches the cover to the receptacle. The support member prevents the sidewalls of the receptacle from deflecting to help maintain the seal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for attaching the outer leads of a semiconductor package (preferably a Tape Automated Bonded circuit) to the traces on a printed circuit board is described. The outer leads of the package are configured in an angled orientation so that the tip of each lead extends downwardly below the lower surface of the package. As a result, placement of the package against the circuit board causes the leads to be biased downwardly against the traces. In order to accomplish this, the package is secured to the board using a rigid frame structure. The frame structure urges the edges of the package against the board. This insures that the leads make electrical contact with the traces in a fast and efficient manner, while avoiding problems associated with a lack of lead coplanarity.
