Redundant fluid interconnect seal for a modular ink jet delivery system

摘要

A modular ink jet ink delivery system comprising a print manifold including a passageway therethrough for the transfer of ink and a pen tower removably and operatively engageable with the manifold. The pen tower includes a central passageway for receiving and transferring ink from the manifold. A retainer member is operatively connected to the manifold. A first sealing member forms a first seal with the retainer member. A second sealing member forms a second seal with the pen tower such that when the pen tower and the manifold are operatively engaged with each other, a substantially sealed passageway is formed for the transfer of ink from the manifold to the pen tower.
