Abstract

1510350 Ink-recirculation apparatus INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 31 Oct 1975 [23 Dec 1974] 45267/75 Headings B6C and B6P Liquid dispensing apparatus especially in an ink-jet printer, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown) includes an outlet for a stream of liquid under pressure into a region open to atmosphere; a collector for liquid dispensed from the outlet but unused and a return flow conduit including a liquid trap and a pump, the trap being located between the collector and the pump to limit the entry of atmosphere to the amount required to replace liquid used and thus not collected for recirculation. In the system shown in Fig. 6, ink is supplied from bottle 100 through hoses 104a to 104g connecting bubble catchers 120, 122, pump 116, capillary 151 main valve 154, conduit 155 to ink-jet nozzle 125. Undeflected drops are collected in gutter 53 and pass through J-tube 115, hoses 113b and 113a back to bottle 100, which is rigid and sealed. Withdrawal of liquid from bottle 100 by pump 116 during printing creates a vacuum in the return conduit; depending on the level of liquid in J-tube 115, ink or air is drawn back into bottle 100. Thus whether ink or air is drawn back depends on the rates at which ink is being used or collected as represented by the level of ink in J-tube 115 in relation to servo point 115b. A reservoir 133 is associated with J-tube 115 to allow for overfilling of the tube, e.g. when the temperature of bottle 100 rises and prevents an effective vacuum being created in the return line.
