LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND EJECTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513118 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND EJECTION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection head described in the patent application includes an ejection element substrate, an electrical contact portion, a housing, and an opening/closing member. The ejection element substrate ejects liquid for recording purposes, while the electrical contact portion supplies power to the ejection element substrate. The housing has an opening portion for inserting the electrical wiring unit and housing the electrical contact portion. The opening/closing member opens and closes the opening portion, sandwiching the electrical wiring unit between itself and the housing when closed.

  • Ejection element substrate ejects liquid for recording
  • Electrical contact portion supplies power to ejection element substrate
  • Housing includes opening portion for electrical wiring unit
  • Opening/closing member opens and closes the opening portion

Original Abstract Submitted

A liquid ejection head includes an ejection element substrate, an electrical contact portion, a housing, and an opening/closing member. The ejection element substrate ejects liquid to perform recording. The electrical contact portion is electrically connected to an electrical wiring unit of an ejection apparatus to supply power to the ejection element substrate. The housing includes an opening portion into which the electrical wiring unit is inserted and to be provided with the electrical contact portion inside. The opening/closing member opens and closes the opening portion. In a closed state in which the opening/closing member closes the opening portion, the electrical wiring unit is sandwiched between the opening/closing member and a part of the housing.
