Abstract
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de recouvrement (21) pour une tête d'impression comportant un élément de recouvrement (29), dont la longueur correspond sensiblement à la longueur de la tête d'impression et qui est configuré pour entrer en contact avec la tête d'impression en venant en prise avec celle-ci de manière à recouvrir les buses, et un support pivotant (30) supportant l'élément de recouvrement. Un mécanisme d'actionnement (31) est prévu et agencé pour effectuer un mouvement pivotant du support d'avant en arrière entre une première position, dans laquelle l'élément de recouvrement est éloigné de la tête d'impression, et une deuxième position, dans laquelle l'élément de recouvrement est en contact avec la tête d'impression. L'élément de recouvrement est monté de façon pivotante sur le support et est agencé pour pivoter par rapport au support au cours d'un mouvement de transition d'avant en arrière du support entre une position de transition et la deuxième position, la position de transition étant située entre les première et deuxième positions.
