US Patent:

46072667, Aug 19, 1986
Filed:

Oct 15, 1984
Appl. No.:

6/661029
Inventors:

William J. DeBonte - Lexington MA
International Classification:

G01D 1516
US Classification:

346140PR
Abstract:

An ink jet apparatus employing hot melt ink includes a reservoir which may be heated independently of the ink jet itself. This permits the reservoir to be heated when the apparatus is to operate in the ejection mode, so as to melt the ink into the liquid state in the reservoir. The reservoir may also be cooled so as to return the ink in the reservoir to the solid state in the stand-by mode while the ink in the jet remains in the liquid state at all times throughout the stand-by mode and the ejection mode.

Filed:

Oct 15, 1984
Appl. No.:

6/660656
Inventors:

Theodore M. Cooke - Danbury CT
William J. DeBonte - Kent CT
Assignee:

Exxon Printing Systems, Inc. - Brookfield CT
International Classification:

G01D 1516
US Classification:

346140R
Abstract:

A demand ink jet employs removable cartridges of hot melt ink. When the temperature of the ink within the cartridge is raised, the ink melts and drains from the cartridge into the supply system. Each of the cartridges may include ink of a different color so as to permit multi-color printing.

US Patent:

43664903, Dec 28, 1982
Filed:

Feb 19, 1982
Appl. No.:

6/350191
Inventors:

William J. DeBonte - Kent CT
Karen Lynch - New Milford CT
Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Co. - Florham Park NJ
International Classification:

G01D 1518
US Classification:

346140R
Abstract:

Portions of ink jet transducers are deactivated so as to tune the transducer to the transducer drive rather than vice versa. Deactivation may be accomplished by creating a discontinuity in a conductive coating on the transducer or by partially depoling the transducer.
