摘要： An ink jet printing apparatus that includes a springbacked fluid interconnect seal that provides a seal between an ink handling component and an ink pipe that is attached to the ink handling component. The spring-backed fluid interconnection seal more particularly includes a generally conically tapered resilient seal, and a pre-loaded spring configured to axially extend or tension the seal. An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a groove in the sealing face which allows the use of a liquid sealant. The groove holds the sealant in place through capillary forces, and also by virtue of trough-like shape protects the sealant from being wiped away through mechanical member.

摘要： A modular ink jet ink delivery system comprising a print manifold including a passageway therethrough for the transfer of ink and a pen tower removably and operatively engageable with the manifold. The pen tower includes a central passageway for receiving and transferring ink from the manifold. A retainer member is operatively connected to the manifold. A first sealing member forms a first seal with the retainer member. A second sealing member forms a second seal with the pen tower such that when the pen tower and the manifold are operatively engaged with each other, a substantially sealed passageway is formed for the transfer of ink from the manifold to the pen tower.
