Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation a foam body and a foam body for insertion into a Ink cartridge for an inkjet printer according to the preamble of Claim 1 or 10.
  • Such a foam body is known from EP-A-709 209.
  • This Font refers to a tri-color inkjet printhead.
  • the punched out Foam bodies are first compressed in a hot press and warmed up, so they sit down.
  • To the foam body for the middle chamber is a sheath before insertion lying around, which is part of the lower surface and the two Large areas of the foam body covered.
  • the cover exists for Example from paper. The cover facilitates the insertion of the Foam body in the relatively narrow and high middle chamber.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a To create a printhead, which is a less expensive press-in device requires.
  • a method is specified be produced by means of which foam body rational can. This object is achieved by features of claim 1 solved.
  • the single figure shows a perspective View of a housing of an ink cartridge with a Foam body.
  • the ink cartridge 1 has a housing 2 with a bottom 3, side walls 4-7 and a lid, not shown. At the bottom is 3 a nozzle 8 for attachment to a print head of an inkjet printer formed.
  • Foam body 10 used with a base 11 accordingly the inside of the bottom 3, four side surfaces 12-15 and one Top surface 16.
  • the two wide side surfaces 12 and 14 are coated with a material which is a much lower Coefficients of friction against the material of the housing 2 than the foam body 10.
  • the coating 17 may for Example, a glued with a hotmelt adhesive thermoplastic film for example made of PE or PU, a fabric, a fleece or a paint job.
  • the coating can be porous or perforated. Under certain circumstances, it does not need an entire surface to be.
  • the coating 17 is before the punching of the foam body 10th applied to the foam plate, from which subsequently with a multiple punching knife (strip steel knife) in a punch press in a hub a plurality of foam bodies 10 at the same time be punched out.
  • the coating 17 is in a Hot press applied, either simultaneously on both sides or initially only on one side, followed by the foam plate turned and the other side is coated. If the coating film (for example made of PU or PE) with a Hot melt adhesive is coated, the temperature of the Press plate (s) of the heating press between the melting temperature of the hotmelt adhesive and the higher melting temperature of Slide selected.
  • uncoated film For uncoated film, one with an anti-adhesive agent, for example Teflon (registered trademark), coated press plate used and this above the melting temperature the film is heated. But it is also possible, one Composite film of two different materials with different Use melting temperature, wherein the material facing with the lower melting temperature of the foam sheet becomes. If the foam plate in advance in a hot press is compressed to the pore number per unit volume increase, the coating 17 can subsequently in the same Hot press be sealed.
