Fluid ejection module mounting

摘要

A bracket includes a support strut configured to carry the fluid ejection module and an alignment strut coupled to the support strut. The alignment strut is configured to affix to the frame so as to orient the support strut with respect to the frame in each of three orthogonal linear directions and three orthogonal angular directions. The alignment strut includes three alignment mechanisms. Each of the first and second alignment features is held mechanically fixed on the alignment strut in a respective aligned position, and the third alignment mechanism is movable on the alignment strut.

1. A bracket for mounting a fluid ejection module to a frame, the bracket comprising:
a support strut configured to carry the fluid ejection module; and an alignment strut coupled to the support strut and configured to affix to the frame so as to orient the support strut with respect to the frame in each of three orthogonal linear directions and three orthogonal angular directions, the alignment strut comprising:
a first alignment mechanism comprising a first adjustable alignment feature configured to bear against the frame so as to orient the support strut in a first angular direction when the alignment strut is affixed to the frame;a second alignment mechanism comprising a second adjustable alignment feature configured to bear against the frame so as to orient the support strut in a second angular direction and in a third linear direction when the alignment strut is affixed to the frame; anda third alignment mechanism comprising a third adjustable alignment feature configured to bear against the frame so as to orient the support strut in a first linear direction when the alignment strut is affixed to the frame, wherein each of the first and second alignment features is held mechanically fixed on the alignment strut in a respective aligned position, and the third alignment mechanism is movable on the alignment strut.
