The annular dam portion is disposed between the bottom of the inner peripheral face and the tip of the inner peripheral face. The dam portion is formed such that a substantially constant distance separates the inner peripheral face from the dam portion.	12-17-2009
20100212774	PAINTING MATERIAL CHARGING DEVICE - A painting material charging device may comprise a cartridge attaching unit, a painting material supplying path, a first switching unit, a painting material supplying unit, a discharging path, a second switching unit, a painting material sensor and a controlling unit. The controlling unit may be configured to be connected to the painting material sensor and the second switching unit. The controlling unit may be configured to cause the second switching unit to fully close the discharging path in a case where the painting material sensor detects the painting material.	08-26-2010
20100229792	ELECTROSTATIC COATING APPARATUS - Intended is to enable an electrostatic coating apparatus including a plurality of needle electrodes formed in an annular shape and having a blot preventing function, to prevent the generation of a spark discharge reliably, in case an arbitrary needle electrode approaches an earth element, and to keep the intensity of a generated electrostatic field properly. A coating gun comprises a blot preventing device including a ring-shaped electrode unit having a plurality of needle electrodes protruding radially at a substantially equal spacing radially outward from an annular base member, and a high-voltage generator for applying a high voltage to the electrode unit. The needle electrodes are connected in parallel with the high-voltage generator through individual resistors, block-by-block resistors and built-in resistors.	09-16-2010

20090309938	INK JET PRINT HEAD MANUFACTURING METHOD AND INK JET PRINT HEAD - An ink jet print head manufacturing method and an ink jet print head are provided in which a shape of an adhesive that bonds a support member and a print element substrate together is controlled to maintain a high level of ink ejection performance even if the print element substrate is reduced in size. The adhesive, after being disposed between the support member and the print element substrate, is elongated and then hardened. This process allows the shape of the adhesive to be controlled, securing a sufficient ink path between an ink supply port on the support member side and an ink introducing port on the print element substrate side.	12-17-2009
20100011577	METHOD OF MANUFACTURING LIQUID STORAGE CONTAINER - An ink absorption member is inserted into a tank case and positioned to define an open space V between its bottom surface and the tank case bottom. Sequentially, then, one ink injection needle is inserted through the ink absorption member in the tank case until the tip enters the open space V. Thereafter, ink injection is begun by supplying ink through the injection needle tip. As this process proceeds, the open space V is filled with ink, the upper surface of which serves as an interface, parallel to the tank case bottom. This parallel state is maintained as the ink permeates the ink absorption member, so that the process can be uniformly completed. Further, since the open space V is filled first, the ink injection speed is not overly slow, when compared with a process during which ink is directly injected into the ink absorption member.	01-21-2010
