| 20100156989 | INJECTION MOLDED MOUNTING SUBSTRATE - The present invention relates to a fluid ejection assembly that includes an injection-molded mounting substrate that is formed by a two-shot injection molding process, wherein a housing portion of the mounting substrate is formed by a first shot molding, and a die-attach portion of the mounting substrate is formed within the housing portion by a second shot molding. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100253753 | PRINTING DEVICE FLUID RESERVOIR WITH ALIGNMENT FEATURES - Various embodiments of a printing device fluid reservoir with alignment features and various embodiments of a printing device fluid reservoir chassis with alignment features are disclosed. According to some aspects of these embodiments, the alignment features are grouped together near an ultimate connection point between a fluid reservoir and a chassis to increase design freedom on other regions of the fluid reservoir/chassis. Other aspects of these embodiments include specially designed and located alignment features of a fluid reservoir that engage specially designed and located alignment features of a chassis in sequence throughout the process of inserting the fluid reservoir into the chassis in order to facilitate simple and effective engagement. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110037808 | METALIZED PRINTHEAD SUBSTRATE OVERMOLDED WITH PLASTIC - A liquid ejector includes an electrically insulating support having a first surface and a second surface. An electrical trace begins on the first surface of the support and ends on the second surface of the support. An ejector die is positioned on the first surface of the support and electrically connected to the portion of the electrical trace located on the first surface of the support. A polymer material is molded on a portion of the ejector die and at least a portion of the first surface of the support. A portion of the electrical trace remains free of the polymer material. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110080450 | FLUID EJECTION ASSEMBLY HAVING A MOUNTING SUBSTRATE - The present invention relates to a fluid ejection assembly that includes an injection-molded mounting substrate that is formed by a two-shot injection molding process, wherein a housing portion of the mounting substrate is formed by a first shot molding, and a die-attach portion of the mounting substrate is formed within the housing portion by a second shot molding. The die-attach portion is made of a material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion along a direction that is parallel to a fluid passageway in the die attach portion. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110115858 | PRINTHEAD WITH IMPROVED INK TANK MOUNTING RELIABILITY - An inkjet printhead that receives one or more detachably mountable ink tanks, the inkjet printhead includes an ink tank holding receptacle that receives the one or more detachably mountable ink tanks between a first and second wall; a spring disposed on the first wall of the printhead to provide a biasing force in a direction that pushes the detachably mountable ink tank away from the first wall of the printhead and which biasing force must be manually overcome in order to properly install the one or more detachably mountable ink tanks in the ink tank holding receptacle of the printhead. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110115859 | INK TANK FEATURE FOR IMPROVED MOUNTING RELIABILITY - An ink tank having a tank housing; an electrical contact on the housing; an ink outlet port disposed on the housing; and at least one projection disposed adjacent the electrical contact on the housing, wherein the projection is configured for engaging a spring. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110115860 | CARRIAGE WITH IMPROVED PRINT CARTRIDGE MOUNTING RELIABILITY - An inkjet carriage that receives a print cartridge, the inkjet carriage includes a holding receptacle having a wall, wherein the holding receptacle is configured to receive the print cartridge; and a spring disposed on the wall of the holding receptacle to provide a biasing force in a direction that pushes the print cartridge away from the wall of the inkjet carriage and which biasing force must be manually overcome in order to properly install the print cartridge in the holding receptacle of the inkjet carriage. | 05-19-2011 |
