Waste Ink Management

View page
US Patent:
6357853, Mar 19, 2002
Filed:
Feb 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/504652
Inventors:
Benjamin Alan Askren - Lexington KY
John Edward Borsuk - Nicholasville KY
Donn Duane Bryant - Lexington KY
Curtis Ray Droege - Richmond KY
Laura Leigh Garcia - Lexington KY
Edward Lawrence Kiely - Lexington KY
Robert Flynt Strean - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2165
US Classification:
347 36, 347 31, 347 35
Abstract:
A process of, and apparatus for controlling waste ink from an ink jet printer printhead, transfers waste ink to an absorptive diaper, and at least intermittently forces air across the absorptive diaper to promote evaporation of certain volatile ink components from the transferred ink. Waste ink may be received and temporarily retained on a plurality of spaced apart inclined louvers located above the absorptive diaper, and air conveyed across and between the louvers to promote evaporation of certain volatile components from the received ink.

Maintenance Mist Control

View page
US Patent:
6375304, Apr 23, 2002
Filed:
Feb 17, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/505544
Inventors:
Charles Stanley Aldrich - Nicholasville KY
Benjamin Alan Askren - Lexington KY
John Edward Borsuk - Nicholasville KY
Donn Duane Bryant - Lexington KY
Curtis Ray Droege - Richmond KY
Laura Leigh Garcia - Lexington KY
Edward Lawrence Kiely - Lexington KY
Robert Flynt Strean - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2165
US Classification:
347 35, 347 36
Abstract:
An ink mist controller for a maintenance station including spit louvers and a spit wheel which serve as accumulating surfaces. A flow of air directs ink mist through the louvers and around the spit wheel. Mist that is not attracted to a surface is carried to a manifold which filters, then exhausts, air to the environment, thereby preventing contamination of articles surrounding the printer. Color ink droplets are ejected onto the spit louvers. Low pressure is created between and below the louvers, which increases air and mist velocity over the entire spit zone. An unrestricted air curtain occurs on three sides of the color printhead to further control the location of mist deposit. Black ink is ejected onto the spit wheel which holds the mist deposit during evaporation. At defined intervals, the spit wheel rotates a fraction of a revolution. A scraper removes the non-volatile residue from the wheel during rotation.

System For Securing Tubing

View page
US Patent:
6394503, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Mar 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/534435
Inventors:
Stephen Francis DeFosse - Lexington KY
Curtis Ray Droege - Richmond KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
2851361, 347 85
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and a method for securing tubing which includes a reservoir, preferably being a printer cartridge, having a rigid wall with interior and exterior surfaces, a rigid restraining member for a tube, and the restraining member further having a passage therethrough. In one embodiment, the invention includes at least one locking lever with top and bottom ends, the locking lever having at least one notch proximate to the top end and the bottom end is pivotably attached to the interior surface of the reservoir wall, and the restraining member is alternately attached to the top end of the locking lever. In another embodiment, the locking lever is rigidly attached to the interior surface of the reservoir and the restraining member is alternately attached to the reservoir. In a further embodiment, the restraining member is attached to interior of the reservoir wall by at least two locking arms. The reservoir wall has an opening and a tube assembly comprised of the rigid restraining member and the flexible tubing fits into the opening.

Ink Jet Semiconductor Chip Structure

View page
US Patent:
6502926, Jan 7, 2003
Filed:
Jan 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/772721
Inventors:
William Paul Cook - Lexington KY
Stephen Francis DeFosse - Lexington KY
Curtis Ray Droege - Richmond KY
Hrishikesh Pramod Gogate - Lexington KY
Eric Spencer Hall - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41S 205
US Classification:
347 63, 347 65
Abstract:
The invention provides a printhead for an ink jet printer and a method for making a printhead for an ink jet printer. The printhead includes a printhead body having a chip surface side, an ink surface side opposite the chip surface side and a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A semiconductor chip containing ink ejector devices is adhesively attached to the chip surface side of the printhead body. A stiffener is adhesively attached to the ink surface side to provide body stiffening during curing of the adhesive. The semiconductor chip has a second CTE and the stiffener has a third CTE wherein the second and third CTEs have a similar value. The invention provides an improved structure for printheads which resist warpage and/or breakage of the semiconductor chips during the manufacturing process used to make the printheads.

Rotary Wiping Assembly For A Nozzle Plate In An Ink Jet Printer

View page
US Patent:
6530643, Mar 11, 2003
Filed:
Nov 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/710110

Curtis Ray Droege - Richmond KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2165
US Classification:
347 33
Abstract:
An ink jet printer for printing on a print medium includes an ink jet cartridge assembly movable at a scan velocity in scan directions. The ink jet cartridge assembly includes a nozzle plate. A rotary wiper is positioned in association with the nozzle plate for contacting the nozzle plate. The rotary wiper is rotatable with a tangential velocity which is greater than the scan velocity.

Ink Jet Aerosol Control Using Carrier Movement As A Piston Pump

View page
US Patent:
6832829, Dec 21, 2004
Filed:
Mar 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/401653
