    摘要: An ink supply mechanism, which supplies ink from an ink container for storing ink to an ink jet recording unit which discharges ink, comprises a first filter member provided in an ink outlet section of the ink container; an ink supply passage which conductively connects the ink jet recording unit and the ink container for supplying ink from the ink container to the ink jet recording unit; and a second filter member provided in the ink supply passage between ink discharging ports of the recording unit and the first filter member. The second filter member is provided with holes which create the capillary force greater than the negative pressure in the ink container. With the above structure, it is possible to provide an ink jet recording apparatus capable of making the recovery amount compatible between a usual recording device and a recording device of a high-speed type, making a recording device of a high-speed type usable in a usual recording apparatus, and improving the ink usage efficiency in the recovery process.

    摘要: An ink jet head has a first member having a plurality of energy generating elements for generating energy necessary for ejecting ink, a second member having a plurality of grooves separated by land portions, the grooves constituting an array of ink channels leading to an array of ink ejecting openings and the land portions constituting ink channel walls separating the ink channels, and a pressing member for pressing the first member and the second member to each other, thereby joining these members so that the ink channels are formed by cooperation between the first member and grooves in said second member. The height of ink channel walls is varied such that it is smaller at both end regions of the array of ink channels than at the central regions of the array of ink channels. Close and tight contact between the first member and the second member is attained in the central region of the ink channel array where the ink channels actually perform ejection of ink, so that ink can be discharged accurately without any crosstalk between adjacent ink channels, thus ensuring high quality printing.

    摘要: A method for producing a substrate for an ink jet recording head comprises preparing a substrate with plural heat generating resistors for applying heat to the ink, plural wirings electrically connected thereto, and plural heat generating areas formed by the heat generating resistors exposed from the wirings, coating the heat generating resistors and the wirings on the substrate with a first insulating protective film, removing the first insulating protective film by wet etching in portions on the heat generating areas, and coating thus etched first insulating protective film with a second insulating protective film, wherein the etched portion of the first insulating protective film, in the longitudinal direction of the heat generating area, is positioned inside from the end of the heat generating area, by at least 1/2 of the thickness of the first and second insulating protective films covering the wirings.The protective film is thus made thinner on the heat generating areas, thus reducing the electric power consumption while maintaining sufficient durability.

    摘要: An ink cartridge for ink jet use is provided with an aperture for filling in the cartridge with ink. The circumference of the aperture and a part of a plug pressed in the aperture are fused and welded to be formed integrally to airtightly close the aperture, and obtain an integrated structure without any interface. Hence, it is made possible to reliably prevent ink from leaking therefrom, even if some scratches and cracks are present on both of them. This contributes to eliminating inspection steps to find ink leakage in the course of manufacture, and also, contributes to improving the yield of production. As a result, a significant reduction of costs is possible, while enhancing the reliability of the ink cartridge.
