A liquid discharge recording head includes an orifice plate having a discharge port formed therefor to discharge liquid, and a main body portion having liquid flow paths formed therein to communicate with an opening arranged at an edge portion thereof, the discharge port and the opening being bonded to communicate with each other. A sealing groove is arranged on the circumference of the opening along the bonded face, and a filler is filled in the sealing groove. This makes it possible to pour filler into the sealing groove from the injecting groove after the orifice plate is bonded to the face having the opening formed therefor to communicate the opening with the discharge port of the orifice plate to eliminate any gaps from which the filler leaks between the orifice plate and the face having an opening formed therefor, and carry out sealing without clogging the circumference of opening or discharge port.
摘要:
An inner-pressure-changing connecting portion that changes the inner pressure of an ink cartridge and a fitted portion to be fitted on a positioning mechanism provided on an ink-jet printer are disposed coaxially. In a configuration for supplying ink by applying pressure to a pressure chamber, high-accuracy positioning of the ink cartridge and the ink-jet printer can be achieved.
摘要:
A liquid container cartridge for containing liquid which is detachably mountable to a main assembly of a recording apparatus for effecting recording by depositing the liquid onto a recording material, the liquid container cartridge includes a connecting portion for establishing a supply path for fluid communication with the main assembly of the recording apparatus when the liquid container cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the recording apparatus; a first member; and a second member united with the first member; a claw provided on a surface of one of the first and second members; a tubular member which is provided on a surface or the other of the first and second members and which is engaged with the claw when the first and second members are united with each other; a projection provided on a surface of one of the first and second members; and a recess which is provided on a surface of the other of the first and second members and which is engaged with the claw when the first and second members are united with each other.
摘要:
A recording apparatus is arranged to mount on the main body thereof an ink tank provided with a component of electrical conduction and an ink supply port, and structured to make ink supply and electrical connection possible. With the structure thus arranged, the adhesion of ink to the electric contacts is prevented in order to secure the reliability of electrical connection. The contacts are arranged on the side opposite to the hollow needle with a supporting member of a connector that supports plural contacts on the connector as reference.
