Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to an envelope for recovering a recording liquid cartridge which is used in an image printing device such as an ink jet recording device.
- An ink jet recording device using ink as the recording liquid is employed as an image forming device in printers, facsimiles, copying machines and their hybrid machines.
- ink jet recording, devices it is common to replace an ink cartridge, which is a recording liquid cartridge for supplying ink to a recording head.
- used ink cartridges were thrown away by users.
- Patent Reference #1 below discloses a method for recovering used recording liquid cartridges, in which a recovering box is used for recycling. In this method, however, it is inconvenient in that users must go to where a recovering box is placed.
- Patent Reference #2 discloses another method for recovering used recording liquid cartridges, in which transportation such as mailing is employed for recovering such cartridges.
- a name and address of destination and other information are written on an outer surface of an ink cartridge.
- users can seal the ink inlet and outlet of a used cartridge and mail it to the cartridge supplier.
- it is troublesome for users to seal the ink inlet and outlet of used cartridges. And users may get ink on their hands. If the user's sealing is incomplete, highly transmittable ink for such ink jet recording devices may leak out and make a mess of other transported goods .
- Patent Reference #1 Japanese Patent Laid- Open Publication 2003-182804
- Patent Reference #2 Japanese Patent Laid- Open Publication 5-30106
- An envelope for recovering a used recording liquid cartridge according to the present invention that solves the above problems comprises an inner layer made of material capable of absorbing recording liquid; and an outer layer made of water resistant material. According to this envelope, even if recording liquid leaks from the cartridge put into the envelope, the liquid can be absorbed by the inner layer to prevent from leaking outside of the envelope. It is easy for users to mail used cartridges, and the recording liquid of used cartridges does not make a mess of other transported goods.
- Another envelope for recovering a used recording liquid cartridge according to the present invention comprises an inner layer made of material capable of absorbing recording liquid; a middle layer made of water resistant material; and an outer layer made of writable material. According to this envelope, besides the above advantages, users can write a name and address of destination.
- an envelope for recovering a used recording liquid cartridge comprises a main body of the envelope; and a foldable sealing portion capable of sealing an opening of the envelope by folding at a reference line; wherein a portion of the main body is extended over the reference line at both sides of the sealing potion.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an envelope for recovering a recording liquid cartridge according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a structural example of the envelope.
- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating another structural example of the envelope.
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the envelope.
- Fig. 5 is a plan view of the envelope.
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of the major portion of the sealed envelope.
- Fig. 7 is a plan view of the major portion of a comparison sample sealed envelope.
- Fig. 8 is a perspective view of an example of an ink cartridge.
- Fig. 9 shows an example of an ink bag.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an envelope for recovering a recording liquid cartridge according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view for illustrating a structural example of the envelope.
- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view for illustrating another structural example of the envelope.
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the envelope.
- Fig. 5 is a plan view of the envelope.
- the envelope 1 is for recovering an ink cartridge 101 that is a used recording liquid cartridge.
- the envelope 1 has a two-layer structure comprising an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12.
- the inner layer 11 is made of material capable of absorbing ink, for example thin paper.
- the outer layer 12 is made of water resistant material, for example PE .
- the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12 are heat sealed. Due to this two-layer structure, even if ink is leaked out from the used ink cartridge 101 put into the envelope 1, the inner layer 11 keeps the leaked ink and the water resistance of the outer layer 12 does not allow the ink to transmit to the outside. Therefore, the envelope does not make a mess of others with the leaked ink while transporting. Even if the envelope 1 is exposed to rain, the water resistance of the outer layer 12 prevents the envelope 1 from ripping or breaking.
- the envelope 1 may have a three-layer structure having an inner layer 21, a middle layer 22 and an outer layer 23.
- the inner layer 21 is made of material capable of absorbing ink, for example thin paper.
- the middle layer 22 is made of water resistant material, for example PE.
- the inner layer 21 and the middle layer 22 are heat sealed.
- the outer layer 23 is made of material allowing writing thereon, for example,
- the middle layer 22 functions in the same manner as the above mentioned outer layer 12 resulting in the same
- the envelope 1 has a sealing slip 3 at a sealing portion.
- the sealing slip 3 can be valley-folded at a folding reference line 4, to seal an opening 2a of a main body 2 of the envelope 1.
- a portion 5 of the main body 2 of the envelope 1 is formed continuously over the folding reference line 4, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. That is, the portion 5 of the main body 2 of the envelope 1 is extended over the valley-folding reference line 4 and is folded at the valley-folding line 4, to the perpendicular direction.
- a paste face is formed or a double stick tape is fixed on the sealing slip 3 to adhere to the main body 2 of the envelope 1.
- the portion 5 of the main body 2 of the envelope 1 is folded over or laid over at both sides of the sealing slip 3, and therefore the opening 2a is not exposed at an end 2b of the main body 2 of the envelope 1. Accordingly, the ink leaked out from the ink cartridge 101 put into the envelope 1 cannot leak to the outside of the envelope 1.
- liquid such as ink penetrates small cross-sectional places well due to the capillary phenomenon. As shown in Fig.
- the ink cartridge 101 shown in Fig. 8 comprises an ink bag 102 to be filled with ink, and a housing 103 to contain the ink bag 102.
- the housing 103 comprises a first housing part 111, a second housing part 112 and a third housing part 113
- the first housing part 111 and the second housing part 112 form a protection cover having a thin box figure to protect the sides of the ink bag 102.
- the ink bag 102 comprises a rectangular- shaped flexible bag body 121 made of aluminum laminated films, and a plastic holding member 122 fixed or sealed to one longer side of the bag body 121.
- the plastic holding member 122 is provided with an ink outlet 123 for supplying ink within the bag body 121 to an image printing device.
- the ink outlet 123 is sealed by a self-sealable member, made of such as butyl rubber resilient material.
