Abstract

In una testina di stampa a getto d'inchiostro avente un serbatoio di alimentazione riempito con un corpo spugnoso impregnato d'inchiostro, un dispositivo di rifornimento dell'inchiostro è costituito da un elemento di collegamento di materiale poroso avente un estremo immerso in un contenitore principale separato dalla testina e l'altro estremo posto a contatto con il corpo spugnoso attraverso una apertura in una parete del serbatoio di alimentazione. Per effetto capillare, quando il corpo spugnoso è parzialmente vuoto d'inchiostro, l'elemento poroso di collegamento trasferisce l'inchiostro dal contenitore principale al serbatoio di alimentazione.In an inkjet print head having a supply tank filled with a spongy body impregnated with ink, an ink supply device consists of a connecting element of porous material having one end immersed in a main container separated from the head and the other end placed in contact with the spongy body through an opening in a wall of the supply tank. By capillary effect, when the spongy body is partially empty of ink, the porous connection element transfers the ink from the main container to the supply tank.
