Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink cartridge which can be used in an ink jet printer or a cartridge receptacle associated therewith, according to the preamble of claim 1. It should be mentioned that the cartridge receptacle is usually part of a slide mounted reciprocably within the printer.
  • Such ink cartridges are well known, with only the example of the EP 1 247 651 B1 is pointed out.
  • These known ink cartridges are characterized in that the electrical contacts and a memory cartridge and / or printer-specific data comprehensive board is firmly connected to the housing of the ink cartridge.
  • the electrical contacts both on the board and on the board facing boundary wall of the cartridge receptacle are not only transversely, but offset in cartridge insertion direction to each other, so that improper insertion of the ink cartridge in the associated recording false electrical connections can arise, in particular in the direction parallel to the insertion direction.
  • the present invention has for its object to solve the above problems, ie to provide an ink cartridge available, which ensures an exact alignment of the cartridge-specific contacts with the printer-specific contacts even with larger production tolerances.
  • the board is made somewhat wider and, according to an advantageous embodiment, mounted on a slightly narrower ink cartridge so that the board can directly align itself with the printer or cartridge receptacle on the printer-specific contacts, regardless of the cartridge's production tolerances , In this way, only the margin between board width on the one hand and width of the associated guide in the printer on the other hand is decisive.
  • the holder of the board is designed so that it can be moved slightly on both sides, i. transverse to the cartridge insertion direction or transversely to the longitudinal extent of the associated cartridge wall, in particular end wall.
  • At least the lower corners of the board are slightly bevelled. This is especially true for boards with a rectangular outline.
  • the electrical contacts on the board are designed strip-shaped in the insertion direction, so that any production tolerances are compensated in the insertion direction. In this way, it is ensured that the ink cartridge securely contacted even without latching hook.
  • the electrical contact strips are so narrow that it is not possible that the electronics at an incorrect height with an incorrect contact in the printer or in the cartridge receptacle creates an electrical connection.
  • the ink cartridge 10 in the FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used in an inkjet printer or in this associated cartridge receptacle, in the direction of arrow 11 in Fig. 2 ,
  • This insertion direction 11 extends at least in the final phase approximately parallel to the longitudinal extent of the front end wall 12 of the ink cartridge defining housing 13.
  • This housing 13 comprises in addition to the front end wall 12 is still a parallel extending rear end wall 14, a lid 15, a bottom 16th and two flat side walls 17, 18.
  • an ink chamber not shown here is formed within the housing.
  • a ventilation chamber and an ink storage chamber with ink storage element may be provided.
  • the connecting piece 19 formed at the bottom 16 for establishing a fluid connection between the ink chamber formed inside the housing 13 and a supply connection provided at the inkjet printer.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 but also Fig. 3 can be removed, at the front end wall 12, an electrical contacts 20 and a non-illustrated memory cartridge and / or printer-specific data comprehensive board 21 is arranged.
  • this narrower area of the front end wall 12 is indicated by the reference numeral 12 '.
  • This section 12 'of the front end wall 12 has upper and lower holding elements 22 and 23, between which the board 21 is held back and forth transversely to the longitudinal extent of the end wall and transverse to the cartridge insertion direction 11 and herverschietik.
  • This transversely displaceable mounting of the circuit board 21 is in Fig. 1 indicated by the double arrow 24.
  • the upper and lower retaining elements are in the illustrated embodiment hook members which engage around the upper and lower edges of the board 21.
  • the board 21 itself is approximately rectangular in shape, with all four corners are chamfered to facilitate the self-adjustment of the board when inserting the cartridge into the associated receptacle.
  • the arranged on the side facing away from the cartridge 10 of the board electrical contacts or contact strip 20 extend parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal extension of the associated end wall 12 and parallel to the insertion direction 11. They are so long that an electrical contact without latching the Cartridge is ensured within the receptacle, even if the associated with the printer or the cartridge receptacle contacts are offset in height relative to each other.
  • the electrical contacts supporting board 21 Due to the transverse mobility of the electrical contacts supporting board 21, it is no longer necessary to manufacture the ink cartridge exactly, at least in terms of their width. It can also be used ink cartridges with larger manufacturing tolerances.
  • the board 21 shifts automatically when inserting the ink cartridge in the associated recording in the correct position.
  • the smaller width of the board 21 associated with the board 21 relative to the board 12 'of the front end wall 12 is achieved, for example, as in the illustrated embodiment, in that the longitudinal edges 25, 26 are laid inwards, i. trained trained. This ensures that the two longitudinal edges of the board 21 project laterally beyond the mentioned longitudinal edges 25, 26. Thus, it is ensured that when inserting the cartridge into the cartridge receptacle in the direction of the arrow 11 on the front end wall 12 first, the board 21 comes into engagement with the associated guide the cartridge receptacle and aligns with respect to this itself, such that the cartridge-specific contacts 20 with contact the associated printer-specific contacts.
