Ink Jet Printer Ink Cartridge Manufacturing Method

View page
US Patent:
6371605, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:
Mar 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/813679
Inventors:
Steven R. Komplin - Lexington KY
Gerald F. Davis - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 86
Abstract:
The invention provides an improved ink jet cartridge for an ink jet printer and a method for making the improved ink jet cartridge. The method includes providing a thermoplastic, flexible web having an edge portion, a first side and a second side and providing a substantially inflexible frame member having at least one peripheral edge. Disposing the first side of the flexible web adjacent the peripheral edge of the frame, thereby defining a substantially closed cavity. Heat welding the edge portion of the web and peripheral edge of the frame to one another using a heated platen using a heat welding structure and conditions which minimize thinning of the flexible web on the bonding surface at least adjacent the substantially closed cavity. Minimizing the thinning of the flexible web adjacent the closed cavity substantially improves the weld and resulting reliability of the ink cartridge.

Vent System For Ink Jet Pen Having Internal Pressure Regulator

View page
US Patent:
6394593, May 28, 2002
Filed:
May 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/870204
Inventors:
Steven Robert Komplin - Lexington KY
James Harold Powers - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 86
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vent system for an ink jet pen of the type having an internal pressure regulator. The vent system provides air flow communication between the exterior of the ink jet pen and an interior chamber associated with the pressure regulator while substantially inhibiting the flow of water vapor out of chamber to the exterior of the pen. The vent system includes an elongate flow path defined adjacent the exterior of the pen, the flow path having a first end in flow communication with the chamber and a second end in flow communication with the exterior of the pen.

Process For Making A Heater Chip Module

View page
US Patent:
6449831, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Jun 19, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/099854
Inventors:
Steven Robert Komplin - Lexington KY
Ashok Murthy - Lexington KY
Carl Edmond Sullivan - Versailles KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc - Lexington KY
International Classification:
H05B 300
US Classification:
29611, 298901, 2988922, 347 47, 347 65, 216 33, 216 27
Abstract:
A process is provided for forming a heater chip module comprising a carrier adapted to be secured to an ink-filled container, at least one heater chip having a base coupled to the carrier, and at least one nozzle plate coupled to the heater chip. The carrier includes a support substrate having at least one passage which defines a path for ink to travel from the container to the heater chip. The heater chip is secured at its base to a portion of the support substrate. At least the portion of the support substrate is formed from a material having substantially the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the heater chip base. A flexible circuit is coupled to the heater chip module such as by TAB bonding or wire bonding.

Connection Module

View page
US Patent:
6536872, Mar 25, 2003
Filed:
Aug 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/930767
Inventors:
Richard Louis Goin - Lexington KY
Steven Robert Komplin - Lexington KY
Brian David Smith - Lexington KY
Brandon Sung-Hwan Song - Lexington KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 201
US Classification:
347 50, 439 67
Abstract:
A connection module including a base including a forward set of points located in a forward plane and a rearward set of points located in a rearward plane, the forward and rearward planes defining a junction therebetween. The connection module further includes a cable including a plurality of contacts located thereon, each contact being shaped and located to engage one of the points. The connection module has a backing element including a piece of sheet-like material, a set of contact protrusions on the piece of material, and at least one stiffening element on the piece of material. Each of the contact protrusions is shaped and located to engage the cable and urge one of the contacts into engagement with one of the points. The stiffening element is generally aligned with the junction when the contact protrusions engage the cable and urge the contacts into engagement with one of the points.

Submersible Ink Source Regulator For An Inkjet Printer

View page
US Patent:
6786580, Sep 7, 2004
Filed:
Jun 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/465385
Inventors:
Trevor Daniel Gray - Midway KY
Steven Robert Komplin - Lexington KY
Matthew Joe Russell - Stamping Ground KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 85
Abstract:
A print head and regulator assembly for a printer including: (a) a print head; (b) an ink source; and, (c) a regulator for regulating the flow of ink between the ink source and the print head, the regulator including: (i) a pressurized chamber having an ink inlet in fluid communication with the ink source, an ink outlet in fluid communication with the print head, an opening extending through a chamber wall, and a flexible film covering the opening, the flexible film having an inner surface facing an interior of the pressurized chamber and an outer surface in contact with the ink in the ink source; and, (ii) a lever including a flexible arm positioned in proximity to the inner surface of the flexible film and an opposing arm operatively coupled to a seal that closes the ink inlet when the lever is in a first position and opens the ink inlet when the lever is pivoted to a second position, the lever being biased to the first position, where a higher pressure differential across the flexible film brings about a higher force acting upon the flexible arm to overcome the bias and pivot the lever to the second position opening the ink inlet, and, where a lower pressure differential across the flexible film brings about a lesser force acting upon the flexible arm resulting in the lever succumbing to the bias and repositioning the seal at the first position, closing the ink inlet.

US Patent:
6796644, Sep 28, 2004
Filed:
Jun 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/465403
Inventors:
Gerald F. Davis - Lexington KY
John R. Fowler - Nicholasville KY
David E. Greer - Lexington KY
Trevor D. Gray - Midway KY
Timothy L. Howard - Lexington KY
Steven R. Komplin - Lexington KY
Matthew J. Russell - Stamping Ground KY
David T. Shadwick - Versailles KY
Assignee:
Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
B41J 2175
US Classification:
347 85
Abstract:
A regulator adapted to regulate the throughput of an ink between an ink source and a print head includes: (a) a pressurized chamber including an ink inlet in fluid communication with and ink source, an ink outlet in fluid communication with a print head, and at least one flexible wall; and (b) a lever including a flexible arm extending along a portion of the flexible wall and an opposing arm operatively coupled to a seal biased to close the ink inlet when the lever is in a first position and to open the ink inlet to allow fluid communication between the ink inlet and the pressurized chamber when the lever is pivoted to a second position; where a lower pressure differential across the flexible wall causes the flexible wall to actuate the flexible arm, pivoting the lever to the first position (inlet closed), where a higher pressure differential across the flexible wall causes the flexible wall to actuate the flexible arm to pivot the lever to the second position (inlet open), and where a pressure change from the lower pressure differential to the higher pressure differential across the flexible wall causes the flexible wall to actuate and flex the flexible arm without causing the lever to pivot.
