Abstract:
In one embodiment there is provided a sub-assembly of components to assemble a print liquid supply container, the set comprising a print liquid reservoir and a support structure to form a print liquid supply container, the container having a first, second and third dimensions, the support structure to at least partially surround and support the reservoir and to provide stiffness to the container, at least in a folded and mounted condition, the reservoir including a bag to hold the print liquid, being at least partially flexible to collapse for print liquid to be withdrawn from the reservoir, the bag being configured to inhibit fluid exchange, and a neck that is relatively narrow with respect to the bag in a filled state, with an opening to output print liquid from the bag, wherein, in a filled and assembled state, starting at the neck, at least approximately two thirds of the bag projects in a direction parallel to the second dimension inside a projecting portion of the support structure, the support structure adapted to, in folded state, include approximately perpendicular walls defining said first, second and third dimension, the first and second dimension being more than the third dimension, wherein a first wall defining the second and third dimension includes an opening adjacent the neck of the reservoir when positioned in the support structure, to allow connection of another fluid structure to the neck, and the opening is provided adjacent another wall adjacent the first wall, opposite to the projecting portion, the other wall being parallel to the first and third dimension.
Abstract:
Valve systems for managing air in a fluid ejection system are described herein. One example valve system includes an inlet chamber (206), a return chamber (208) in communication with the inlet chamber (206), and a filter-side chamber (236) in communication with the inlet chamber (206) and the return chamber (208). A first valve (242) controls fluid flow between the filter-side chamber (236) and the return chamber (208), and a second valve (244) controls fluid flow between the return chamber (208) and the inlet chamber (206).
Abstract:
A liquid supply (30, 130, 330) includes a lever (48, 348) that moves in response to expansion and contraction of a variable chamber (42, 342) within a liquid reservoir (56, 356). Movement of the lever (48, 348) moves a ball (52, 352) or sealing member (154, 354) to open or close an opening (60, 360) out of the liquid reservoir (56, 356).
Abstract:
A printing device (100) includes a supply of colorant (102) that is non-refillable from an end user perspective and that is at least substantially non-removable from the printing device from the end user perspective. The printing device also includes an inkjet printhead (116) that forms images on media using the supply of colorant.
