摘要： An ink-jet print cartridge is especially configured for loading and unloading into and from an inkjet print cartridge by use of substantially only horizontal translational movements relative to a carriage of the printer. The apparatus includes a generally rectangular prismatic print cartridge having its major axis of elongation disposed horizontally. The print cartridge includes a pair of outwardly extending elongate horizontal supporting lips located one on each of the opposite side walls of the print cartridge, a carriage body, a chute mounted on the carriage for receiving the print cartridge, and a generally horizontal guide rail on each of the pair of side walls of the chute. The guide rails guide the print cartridge into the carriage by supportingly engaging the lips. The print cartridge provides user engageable features which are located remotely from an array of electrical contacts on the cartridge body, and which are separated from a user by the length dimension of the cartridge body so that the electrical contacts are not easily contaminated by fingerprints. Further, a user's pushing installation force passed along a line passing through this array of electrical contacts, insuring good electrical connection of the print cartridge with the carriage.

摘要： An ink-jet print cartridge having a low profile. The print cartridge includes a print cartridge body, a lid securely affixed to the body, and a latch located on the lid. The print cartridge further includes two elongate supporting lips located along the side walls of the body for supporting the print cartridge during loading. Loading is effected with a plurality of gripping surfaces remotely located from the latch.

The apparatus includes a generally rectangular print cartridge, an elongate supporting lip located on a side wall of the print cartridge, a carriage body, a chute mounted on the carriage for receiving the print cartridge, and a generally horizontal rail on a side wall of the chute for guiding the print cartridge into the carriage. In operation, the apparatus horizontally loads a print cartridge into a carriage by translating the print cartridge horizontally forward into a carriage, engaging a lip on the print cartridge with a guide rail on the carriage, sliding the print cartridge up and over a datum on the carriage with the guide rail and latching the print cartridge in the carriage. The apparatus unloads a print cartridge from a carriage by rotating the print cartridge about a datum on the carriage, unlatching the print cartridge from the carriage, and horizontally translating the print cartridge out of the carriage.

摘要： A mechanical key scheme is integrated into a composite pattern on both a print cartridge and its corresponding printer carriage chute. In a preferred embodiment the pattern incorporates a plurality of adjacent contiguous columns on both sides of a latch, with each column capable of defining multiple position bits in order to precisely differentiate between different types and/or different families of print cartridges.
