Abstract: A method for delivering molten ink to a printing mechanism alternates between a first and second reservoir receiving molten ink from a receiving ink reservoir while providing ink from the other of the first and second reservoirs to a printing mechanism. The alternation of the two reservoirs is achieved with coordinated operation of two actuators operatively connected to two seal members.

Abstract: A molten ink supply for a solid ink printing machine includes a container 27 for storing solid ink pellets P and a withdrawal tube 62 having an inlet end 63 disposed within the container 27. A vacuum generator 64 is disposed at the outlet end 65 of the withdrawal tube 62 operable to draw a vacuum within the tube 62. A feed conduit 28 is connected to the outlet end 65 for receiving solid ink pellets P drawn therein by said vacuum generator 64 and conveying the pellets P to a melting station operable to melt the solid ink pellets P. An assist tube 70 is provided within the container 27 with a discharge nozzle (75, Fig.3) disposed within the withdrawal tube 62 at the inlet end 63 and operable to provide a flow of air (F, Fig.3) into the withdrawal tube 62 to agitate solid ink pellets P and facilitate withdrawal of the pellets P by the vacuum generator 64.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering molten ink to a printing mechanism or print head includes; receiving molten ink in a receiving reservoir 18, and alternating which of a plurality of reservoirs is opened to the receiving reservoir to receive molten ink while at least one other of the plurality of reservoirs is opened to dispense molten ink to the printing mechanism. The plurality of reservoirs may comprise a first reservoir 20 and second reservoir 22.The opening of the reservoirs may be alternated in response to the level of ink detected within the reservoirs. The first and second reservoirs may receive ink via inlets 32 and dispense ink via outlets 36. Valve assemblies may be disposed between the inlets and outlets and may comprise a seal member 70 movable between inlet and outlet positions.
