Abstract

1433861 Ink jets INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 6 Nov 1974 [10 Jan 1974] 47937/74 Heading B6P Ink jet producing head includes a manifold defined by chambers 15, 16 separated by an elongated fixture member 22. One of the chambers 16 has a row of orifices 34 adjacent its rectangular outlet 17. The member 22 may be of stainless steel and carries a plurality of piezoelectric transducers (not shown) which are simultaneously activated so that similar droplet streams are emitted from each of the orifices 34. The chambers 15, 16 are each approximately equal in length to a quarter wavelength of the vibration produced by the member 22.
