Abstract

Une tête d'impression piézo-électrique ou un autre appareil de dépôt de goutelettes comprend des passages parallèles contenant du liquide définis par une base et des parois mobiles et comportant un élément de couvercle. Les passages comportent chacun au moins une buse servant à l'éjection de goutelettes. Chaque buse peut être placée dans la base, le couvercle comprenant alors deux parties d'alimentation en encre espacées sur la longueur de chaque passage sur les côtés opposés de la buse. Dans une autre forme de réalisation des buses espacées dans le sens longitudinal peuvent être prévues dans la base de chaque passage. Le couvercle peut comporter une piste conductrice reliée à des électrodes déplaçant les parois, les points de connexion se situant à l'extérieur des passages.
