LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529561 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE
The liquid ejection device described in the patent application consists of a base section, a liquid ejection section that ejects ink onto a medium, a liquid receiving section that collects waste ink, an ejection section movement mechanism, and a liquid tray below the liquid receiving section.
- The ejection section movement mechanism allows for movement of the liquid ejection section and the liquid receiving section in the depth direction and the liquid ejection section in a scanning direction.
- The liquid receiving section is positioned below the liquid ejection section in the scanning direction.
- The liquid tray spans the depth direction of the movement area where the liquid receiving section moves.
Potential Applications: - Printing technology - Industrial inkjet printing - Graphic design
Problems Solved: - Efficient waste ink management - Precise ink ejection onto the medium

Original Abstract Submitted
A liquid ejection device includes a base section, a liquid ejection section that ejects ink from nozzles onto a medium, a liquid receiving section that receives ink ejected as waste liquid from the nozzle, an ejection section movement mechanism that holds the ejection section and the liquid receiving section movably, and a liquid tray that is provided below the liquid receiving section and receives ink discharged from the liquid receiving section, wherein the ejection section movement mechanism can move the liquid ejection section and the liquid receiving section in the depth direction and can also move the liquid ejection section in a scanning direction that intersects the depth direction, the liquid receiving section is located below the liquid ejection section as viewed from the direction along the scanning direction, and the liquid tray is located spanning the depth direction of the movement area in which the liquid receiving section moves.
