Patent ID: 8016390

Claim:
A liquid discharging head comprising: a flow path unit comprising: a common liquid flow path; an individual liquid flow path that reaches a nozzle from an outlet of the common liquid flow path; and a plurality of plates that are stacked to form the common liquid flow path and the individual liquid flow path, the plurality of plates comprising at least four manifold plates that include partial plates and support members, wherein each of the at least four manifold plates comprises: a respective one of the partial plates, which has an island shape, and which is surrounded by the common liquid flow path; and a respective one of the support members that connects walls of the partial plates to side walls of the common liquid flow path so as to cross the common liquid flow path, the side walls of the common liquid flow path comprising the walls of the partial plates, and wherein the at least four manifold plates comprise: a first manifold plate that includes a first partial plate and a first support member that supports the first partial plate; a second manifold plate that includes a second partial plate and a second support member that is adjacent to the first support member in a direction in which the common liquid path extends, the second support member supporting the second partial plate; and at least one manifold plate that is interposed between the first manifold plate and the second manifold plate, wherein the at least one manifold plate interposed between the first manifold plate and the second manifold plate comprises a third partial plate and a third support member configured to support the third partial plate, and the third support member is not interposed between the first support member and the second support member in a stacking direction of the manifold plates.
