PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240308227 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a patent application for a system where a waste liquid container is positioned within a printing apparatus, overlapping with the movement path of a carriage and a liquid supply tube.
- The holding portion holds the waste liquid container in a specific position within the printing apparatus.
- The waste liquid container region overlaps with the carriage movement path and the liquid supply tube when viewed from the transport direction.
- A contact reducing member is placed between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube to reduce contact between them.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various printing apparatus to efficiently manage waste liquid disposal. - It can be applied in industrial printing settings where waste liquid containment is crucial.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for managing waste liquid within a printing apparatus. - Reduces the risk of contact between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube.
Benefits: - Improves the overall functionality and efficiency of printing apparatus. - Enhances the safety and cleanliness of waste liquid disposal processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Waste Liquid Management System for Printing Apparatus This technology can be commercially utilized in large-scale printing facilities, industrial printers, and other equipment that require efficient waste liquid management.
Questions about Waste Liquid Management System: 1. How does this technology improve the waste liquid disposal process within a printing apparatus? - This technology optimizes the positioning of the waste liquid container and liquid supply tube to enhance efficiency and reduce the risk of contact. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this waste liquid management system? - By streamlining the waste liquid disposal process, this system can potentially reduce maintenance costs and improve overall productivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
a holding portion holding a waste liquid container is disposed at a position at which a waste liquid container region overlapping the waste liquid container in a region inside a printing apparatus and a movement path of a carriage overlap when viewed from a transport direction, above a transport path and downstream of the movement path of the carriage in the transport direction, a liquid supply tube overlaps the waste liquid container region when viewed from the transport direction, and a contact reducing member reducing contact between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube is disposed between the liquid supply tube and the waste liquid container region.
