FLUID DISPENSER

摘要

A fluid dispenser is disclosed herein. An example of such a fluid dispenser includes a member configured to define a plurality of orifices through which a fluid is ejected and a manifold including a plurality of fluid passageways each of which is configured to have a different angle relative to the member. This example of a fluid dispenser additionally includes a plurality of slots each of which is coupled to a different one of the fluid passageways of the manifold to conduct the fluid from the fluid passageways towards the orifices. Additional features and modifications of this fluid dispenser are disclosed herein, as are other examples of fluid dispensers.

1. A fluid dispenser, comprising:
a member including a first surface and a second surface, a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, and a first orifice and a second orifice, the first orifice being in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber, the second orifice being in fluid communication with the second fluid chamber, the first orifice and the second orifice configured to eject fluid; a substrate including a first surface and a second surface and further including a slot, the first surface of the substrate being coupled to the second surface of the member such that the slot is in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber, the slot having a first cross-sectional width along the first surface of the substrate and a second cross-sectional width along the second surface of the substrate; a manifold including a first surface and a second surface and further including a fluid passageway, the first surface of the manifold being coupled to the second surface of the substrate such that the fluid passageway is in fluid communication with the slot, the fluid passageway having a first cross-sectional width along the first surface of the manifold and a second cross-sectional width along the second surface of the manifold; and a fluid container coupled to the manifold such that the fluid container is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway, the fluid container configured to store fluid; wherein the second cross-sectional width of the slot is greater than the first cross-sectional width of the slot, the first cross-sectional width of the fluid passageway is greater than the second cross-sectional width of the slot, and the second cross-sectional width of the fluid passageway is greater than the first cross-sectional width of the fluid passageway, such that bubbles formed in respective ones of the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber are conducted through the slot, through the fluid passageway, and to the fluid container.
