Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ink-Jet-Tintenpatrone mit Verschlußvorrichtung, für Ink-Jet-Drucker und ähnliche Schreib-, Druck- oder Zeichen-Anlagen, wobei sowohl die Tintenpatrone im Drucker, als auch die Verschlußvorrichtung an der Tintenpatrone lösbar angeordnet sind, wobei die Tintenpatrone manuell oder automatisch aus einem externen Tank mit Tinte gefüllt werden kann, wobei die Tintenpatrone (1) mindestens ein Gehäuse (10), einen Tintenraum (11) und eine Nachfüll-Öffnung (12) aufweist, die durch eine Verschlußvorrichtung verschließbar ist.
Die Verschlußvorrichtung soll hierbei aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen Verschlußelementen bestehen, wovon eines abdichtend wirkt und ein Stopfen oder eine Verschlußkappe (13) ist und ein weiteres als luftdurchlässiger Körper oder als Ausgleichskappe (15) ausgebildet ist. Beide Kappen (13, 15) sollen wahlweise gegeneinander austauschbar und/oder aneinander anbringbar gestaltet sein. Weiterhin kann die Verschlußvorrichtung auch aus drei oder mehr verschiedenen Verschlußelementen bestehen, wobei mindestens eines als Verschlußkappe(13), ein zweites als Anschlußkappe (14) mit einem Schlauchanschluß (140) und ein drittes als Ausgleichskappe (15) mit einem Ausgleichskörper (16) ausgebildet ist und wobei alle drei Elemente bzw. Kappen (13, 14, 15) wahlweise gegeneinander austauschbar oder aneinander anbringbar gestaltet bzw. ausgebildet sind.The invention relates to an ink-jet ink cartridge with a closure device for ink-jet printers and similar writing, printing or drawing systems, both the ink cartridge in the printer and the closure device being detachably arranged on the ink cartridge, the Ink cartridge can be filled with ink manually or automatically from an external tank, the ink cartridge (1) having at least one housing (10), an ink chamber (11) and a refill opening (12) which can be closed by a closure device.
The closure device should consist of at least two different closure elements, one of which has a sealing effect and is a stopper or a closure cap (13) and another is designed as an air-permeable body or as a compensation cap (15). Both caps (13, 15) should be designed to be interchangeable and / or attachable to one another. Furthermore, the closure device can also consist of three or more different closure elements, at least one designed as a closure cap (13), a second as a connection cap (14) with a hose connection (140) and a third as a compensation cap (15) with a compensation body (16) and wherein all three elements or caps (13, 14, 15) are either designed to be interchangeable or to be attached to one another.
