LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240131848 titled 'LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The liquid ejecting apparatus described in the patent application includes a liquid ejection head, a recovery unit, a housing, a discharge unit, a casing, and a liquid receptacle. The recovery unit maintains the performance of the liquid ejection head, while the housing accommodates a container for the liquid received by the recovery unit. The discharge unit then transfers the liquid to the container, and the liquid receptacle, located below the discharge unit, includes grooves for proper liquid flow.
- Liquid ejecting head for ejecting liquid
- Recovery unit to maintain liquid ejection performance
- Housing to house container for liquid
