The wiping system includes a blotter-type collection member which presents an air vent when the printhead is in a capped position. When a priming operation is initiated, the air vent route is blocked, and full pressure is applied at the capping nozzle interface.

Automatically retractable and extendable wheel assembly is disclosed for use in conjunction with luggage cases, especially upright carry-on luggage cases and garment bags. Luggage wheels automatically extend to provide a luggage case which is tilted and with a long wheel base so that the case may comfortably and with stability be pushed or pulled across the floor upon three or more wheels, thereby removing the weight of the case from the user's arm. When the case is removed from the floor, the luggage wheels automatically retract to a protected position, thereby reducing the overall dimensions of the case to permit it to be carried aboard aircraft and stored in overhead luggage bins. Apparatus is disclosed for preventing inadvertent retraction of a wheel when the wheel encounters a pebble or crack in the floor.

Attache cases and business cases in general typically have a portfolio section for organizing papers and a main packing section. Depending on the needs of the user, these portions can be selectively closed off . However, it's best that these sections are relatively accessible depending on whether the case is opened from the vertical position or whether the case is opened from the horizontal position. Accordingly, Applicant has provided a portfolio catch system which, depending on the orientation of the case, holds the portfolio in a closed position where the front of the portfolio is attached to the lid portion of the case, or in the alternative, if the case is opened from the vertical position, the panel is held to the base of the case, thus preventing the contents of the base from spilling and automatically permitting ready access to the contents of the portfolio. Also disclosed is a series of lid containers and base containers arrayed along the upper edge of the lid and base shells at the upper side of the case. These containers are readily accessible in all conditions of the case, and are especially accessible when the case is opened from the vertical position wherein access to the contents of the portfolio, as well as these lid and base containers, can be readily had.
