Abstract:
In one embodiment an ink pen for an inkjet printer includes: an ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B); a pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B) downstream from the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) along a path of ink flow through the pen; a pressure regulator (38, 86A, or 86B) in the pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B); a filter (34, 64A, or 64B) in the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B); an inlet (32, 60A, or 60B) to the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) upstream from the filter (34, 64A, or 64B) along the ink flow path; and an outlet (74A or 74B) from the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) to the pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B) downstream from the filter (34, 64A, or 64B) along the ink flow path such that ink flowing from the inlet (32, 60A, or 60B) to the outlet (74A or 74B) passes through the filter (34, 64A, or 64B).
Abstract:
A fluid supply component for a replaceable fluid supply may include a channel fluidically coupled to a pliable fluid supply bag; a ball housed within the channel; and a gasket to prevent movement of the ball into the fluid supply bag; wherein the valve prevents fluid from entering the fluid supply bag while the fluid supply bag imparts a negative fluidic pressure.
Abstract:
A rocker valve includes a number of rails to transitionally connect an arm of a spring to the rocker valve such that the arm of the spring transitions across the rocker valve to actuate the rocker valve, a first side of the rocker valve to selectively engage with a valve seat based on a position of the arm of the spring relative to the first side of the rocker valve, and a number of pivot arms to pivot the rocker valve between a closed position and an open position such that the first side of the rocker valve selectively engages with the valve seat to regulate pressure inside a print head assembly.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include an electrical interface to access a memory. Based on data receivable from the memory, an actuator may allow fluid flow from a print fluid supply external to the apparatus to a print fluid reservoir of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A bag-in-box fluid supply may include a bag comprising a spout extending therefrom, the spout including a flange coupled to a surface of the bag and comprising a lip formed on the spout distal to the bag; a box formed around the bag to maintain the bag therein; a wedge to wedge a surface of the box between the lip and a surface of the bag; and a fluid interface to fluidically interface with the spout of the bag, the fluid interface including a fluidic channel and a collar disposed on a first end of the fluidic channel to secure the fluid interface to the spout.
Abstract:
A print liquid supply sub-assembly, the print liquid supply sub-assembly to connect to a printer to provide a print liquid to the printer may include a print liquid output to connect to a print liquid input of the printer; a first fluidic channel upstream of the print liquid output comprising a first fluidic valve to prevent the print liquid from entering a supply container upstream of the first fluidic valve; and a second fluidic channel upstream of the print liquid output fluidically coupled to the first fluidic channel comprising a second fluidic valve to selectively prevent the fluid from passing out of the supply container downstream from the second fluidic valve.
Abstract:
Systems and related methods are described for circulating and printing fluid onto a printer media. In one example, a system can include an air isolation chamber to pool printing fluid circulated within the system. The air isolation chamber can be fluidly connected to a printhead assembly to eject a portion of the printing fluid onto the printer media. The system can further include a pump to pump printing fluid from the air isolation chamber to the printhead assembly. The system can further include a pressure control valve along a return line between the air isolation chamber and the printhead assembly to regulate the flow of unejected printing fluid to the air isolation chamber to control printing fluid pressure over the printhead assembly.
Abstract:
A check valve (106, 106', 300) includes two opposing sheets surfaces (402, 404) that are coupled together to form a flow channel (214) there between. The flow channel (214) has a first end (206), a second end (216) and at least one curved portion in between the first and second ends.
Abstract:
In one embodiment an ink pen for an inkjet printer includes: an ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B); a pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B) downstream from the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) along a path of ink flow through the pen; a pressure regulator (38, 86A, or 86B) in the pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B); a filter (34, 64A, or 64B) in the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B); an inlet (32, 60A, or 60B) to the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) upstream from the filter (34, 64A, or 64B) along the ink flow path; and an outlet (74A or 74B) from the ink filter chamber (30, 62A, or 62B) to the pressure regulator chamber (36, 76A, or 76B) downstream from the filter (34, 64A, or 64B) along the ink flow path such that ink flowing from the inlet (32, 60A, or 60B) to the outlet (74A or 74B) passes through the filter (34, 64A, or 64B).
