PRINTING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032263 titled 'PRINTING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a printing assembly that includes a manifold assembly with an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. The inlet manifold has an inlet reservoir and an inlet port, while the outlet manifold has an outlet reservoir and an outlet port. Valves are provided at each port to control the flow of material.

  • The printing head is housed within a housing and is in fluid communication with the inlet reservoir and the outlet reservoir.
  • The valves at the inlet port and the outlet port can be independently operated to control the flow of material from the inlet reservoir to the print heads and from the print heads to the outlet reservoir.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Printing and graphic design industries
  • Manufacturing and production processes that require precise material flow control

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and controlled flow of material to the print heads
  • Prevents leakage or wastage of material during printing processes

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved printing quality and accuracy
  • Reduced material wastage and cost
  • Enhanced efficiency and productivity in printing operations


Original Abstract Submitted

A printing assembly () is provided including a manifold assembly including an inlet manifold () including an inlet reservoir () and an inlet port (), and an outlet manifold () including an outlet reservoir () and an outlet port (). A valve is provided at each of the inlet port of the inlet manifold and at the outlet port of the outlet manifold. The valve is operable between an open position for permitting the flow of material through the port and a closed position for preventing the flow of material through the port. The printing head includes a housing and print heads provided within the housing and in fluid communication with the inlet reservoir via the inlet port and the outlet reservoir via the outlet port. The valves are independently operable to control a flow of material from the inlet reservoir to the print heads, and from the print heads to the outlet reservoir, respectively.
