METHODS FOR MOUNTING JET PRINTING CARTRIDGE HAVING LOWE SHAPE COEFFICIENT, IN CARRIAGE WITH DIMENSIONS FOR CARTRIDGE, HAVING LARGE SHAPE COEFFICIENT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: jet printers.

SUBSTANCE: ink feed system has writing jet printing element, having low shape coefficient of height and having a resource of ink for applying to carrier, receiving ink. Onto writing element, having low shape coefficient of height, an adapter 50 is placed, allowing to mount this printing element with possible removal from shoe for printing element. Dimensions of shoe provide for placement of printing element, having large shape coefficient of height. Cartridge 20 for jet printing includes body, printing head on the body, base surfaces on body for precise positioning of body in fixed reproducible position in first construction of carriage, and group of electric contacts of cartridge, mounted on body of cartridge and electrically connected to printing head. Group of electric contacts is placed on body to provide for electric contact to appropriate group of electric contacts of first construction of carriage, when a cartridge is mounted in first construction of carriage. Construction of adapter is mounted on body of cartridge to produce assembly of construction of adapter or cartridge, while this assembly is meant for placement in second construction of carriage, configuration of which provides for placement of jet printing cartridge of other dimension in fixed reproducible position. Second construction of cartridge has second set of electric contacts of carriage. This provides for use of cartridge of one dimension and configuration in printer with shoe of carriage, meant for use with cartridge of other dimension of configuration.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
