20090237452	INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink jet recording head includes a recording element substrate provided on one side thereof with a plurality of ejection outlet arrays each including a plurality of ejection outlets for ejecting recording liquid and provided on the other side thereof with a plurality of supply ports for supplying the recording liquid to the ejection outlet arrays, respectively; and a supporting member for supporting the recording element substrate by connecting with the other side of the recording element substrate, the supporting member has a plurality of supply passages for supplying the recording liquid to respective supply ports, wherein the supporting member is provided with a partition between adjacent ones of the liquid passages, and at least one side of the partition is provided with pits and projections arranged alternately along a longitudinal direction of the partition.	09-24-2009
20090309924	LIQUID DISCHARGING APPARATUS AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR - There is provided a production method for a liquid discharging apparatus including a liquid discharging head having a discharging port configured to discharge liquid, and a thermoplastic support portion having a liquid supply passage configured to supply the liquid to the liquid discharging head. The production method includes a preparation step of preparing the liquid discharging head and the support portion, a heating step of heating the liquid discharging head, an approach step of moving the liquid discharging head close to the support portion and melting the support portion by applying radiant heat from the liquid discharging head to the support portion, and a pressing step of pressing the liquid discharging head against the support portion so that the melted support portion forms a wall portion to contact an outer peripheral portion of the liquid discharging head.	12-17-2009
20100073425	INK JET RECORDING HEAD AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - The present invention provides an ink jet recording head comprises a support member that has an opening used for ink supply and that is formed of a resin material, a recording element board that has an ink support port that communicates with the opening, and a wall that at least partially contacts a peripheral side face of the recording element board that is bonded to the support element, wherein the wall is formed on the support member surrounding the opening, and is used to position the recording element board, relative to the support member, in a direction in which contact is made by the wall.	03-25-2010
20110209335	METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INK JET CARTRIDGE - A predetermined amount of an ink absorber, which is a fiber assembly in which intersections between fibers are not fused together, is charged into a compression and insertion apparatus. A rectangular parallelepiped-shaped insertion block is moved to an upper surface portion of the absorber, and one face of the ink absorber is pushed by a side plate. As such, a part excluding the part of the ink absorber which faces the side plate is compressed and surrounded. In this state, the ink absorber is compressed by the side plate. The ink absorber is inserted into a tank case by making a bottom plate slide, thereby opening the bottom face of the ink absorber and by moving down the insertion block.	09-01-2011
20110211028	INK JET CARTRIDGE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF INK JET CARTRIDGE - The ink jet cartridge includes a tank case that has a space having a opening, a lid that closes the opening, an ink accommodating section that is formed with the space of the tank case and the lid, and an ink absorber that is accommodated in the ink accommodating section. Also, an atmosphere communication port that passes through the lid and a projection section that projects to the space of the tank case are provided in the lid. The ink absorber consists of a fiber aggregate, and a welding section in which the fibers are combined to each other and an unwelded section in which the fibers are not combined to each other are provided on a surface that faces the lid.	09-01-2011
