    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attempt the high grade recording action by reducing the thermally mutual interference between heating resistors adjacent to each other and, during the recording action, realize the reduction of consuming electric power and a small-sized and lightweight thermal head. SOLUTION: Both end parts of a buckling heating element 4 as a heating resistor are fixed through insulating members 3 and 3 on a board 2. When the buckling heating element 4 is thermally expanded from its substantially thermal stress-free no displacement state by being heated up to a predetermined temperature or higher necessary for buckling the buckling heating element under the state that the buckling heating element 4 is controlled by being energized with a power source 6 by means of a switch 5, the thermal expansion of the buckling heat element is suppressed due to the fixing of its both end parts, resulting in exceeding the compression force accumulated within it over its buckling load so as to deform it to a heat-sensitive paper 7 side by buckling.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a large discharge force with a small size by providing compressing means for applying a compression stress to a buckling structure to buckle the structure, thereby displacing a central part. CONSTITUTION: The ink jet head comprises a nozzle plate 11, a housing 7, buckling structures 1a1 , 1a2 , 1b, and compressing means 13a, 13b, wherein the plate 11 has an orifice 11a. The housing 7 is so mounted at the plate as to have a space communicating with the orifice 11a between the housing 7 and the plate 11. The structures 1a1 , 1a2 , 1b are disposed between the plate 11 and the housing 7, and the structures are supported to the housing 7 so that both the ends and the central part interposed therebetween are displaced. The compressing means (power sources 13a, 13b) applies the stress to the structures 1a1 , 1a2 , 1b, to buckle the structures 1a1 , 1a2 , 1b, thereby displacing the central part.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the ink discharge speed of an ink jet head using a buckling structure by making a part opposing the orifice of a nozzle of a buckling structure that drives by a temperature change deform locally. CONSTITUTION:When voltage is applied through electrodes 9a, 9b, a buckling structure 3 is heated by resistance heat and will expand. However, since the both ends are fixed, the buckling structure fails to expand and deform, and a compressive force P occurs. If the compressive force P exceeds a buckling load, buckling deformation occurs. At this time, if the cross-sectional area of the part of the buckling structure 3 opposite to the nozzle is smaller than other parts, stress concentration occurs. Therefore, the part opposite to the nozzle deforms toward the side of the nozzle plate 1 in response to the form of the nozzle orifice 2. In consequence, pressure is conveyed to ink filling a space between the buckling structure 3 and the nozzle plate 1, and an ink drop 6 is formed and jets out from the nozzle orifice.
