First Claim
Patent Images
1. An inkjet printhead comprising:
- a plurality of nozzle arrangements each having;
a nozzle chamber with an ink ejection port that is in fluid communication with the nozzle chamber,an actuator configured for rectilinear movement,an ink-ejecting mechanism configured for angular displacement to eject ink from the ink ejection port anda translation to rotation conversion mechanism interposed between the actuator and the ink-ejecting mechanism to convert rectilinear movement of the actuator into angular displacement of the ink-ejecting mechanism.

Abstract
An inkjet printhead with a plurality of nozzle arrangements that each have a nozzle chamber and an ink ejection port that is in fluid communication with the nozzle chamber. The nozzle arrangements also have an actuator configured for rectilinear movement, and an ink-ejecting mechanism configured for angular displacement to eject ink from the ink ejection port. A translation to rotation conversion mechanism is interposed between the actuator and the ink-ejecting mechanism to convert rectilinear movement of the actuator into angular displacement of the ink-ejecting mechanism.
