Patent ID: 10899149

Abstract:
A device for arranging a print head in a certain position includes a main unit including a main frame providing a primary abutting part and a support part; a sub-unit including a sub-frame providing a secondary abutting part, a connecting member movable relative to the sub-frame between a first position and a second position, and an urging member for urging the connecting member from the second position towards the first position, and a print head connectable to the connecting member to form a sub-assembly with the sub-unit. The main unit is configured to accommodate a sub-assembly formed by the sub-unit and the print head in a preliminary position in which, with the connecting member in the first position, the print head contacts the support part, and the secondary abutting part is spaced apart from the primary abutting part. The support part is configured to mate with the print head to prevent lateral displacement of the print head relative to the main frame, and the sub-frame is movable relative to the main frame from the preliminary position towards a final position against a force exerted onto the sub-frame by the urging member while the connecting member moves from the first position towards the second position against a force exerted onto the connecting member by the urging member, under the influence of a force exerted onto the print head by the support part, wherein in the final position, the secondary abutting part abuts the primary abutting part.
