Patent ID: 8307854

Claim:
A fluid delivery stick, comprising: a fluid delivery stick bracket; a plurality of flow substrates disposed on a surface of the fluid delivery stick bracket, the plurality of flow substrates including at least one flow substrate having a flow substrate body and a plurality of component conduit ports formed in a component attachment surface of the flow substrate body, the plurality of component conduit ports including first and second component conduits ports that are fluidly connected by a first fluid pathway formed in the flow substrate body and third and fourth component conduit ports that are fluidly connected by a second fluid pathway formed in the flow substrate body, the first and second fluid pathways extending between the first and second component conduit ports and the third and fourth component conduit ports along a first axis, the at least one flow substrate further including a manifold connection conduit port formed in a connection attachment surface of the flow substrate body that opposes the component attachment surface and a third fluid pathway formed in the flow substrate body that fluidly connects one of the second and third component conduit ports to the manifold connection conduit port, the third fluid pathway extending between the one of the second and third component conduit ports and the manifold connection conduit port along a second axis that is generally transverse to the first axis; and a manifold having a manifold body and a manifold conduit port formed in a substrate attachment surface of the manifold body, the manifold including a tube stub connection extending from the manifold body in a direction parallel to one of the first axis and the second axis that is fluidly connected to the manifold conduit port by a manifold fluid pathway formed in the manifold body, wherein the manifold is constructed and arranged to be suspended below the at least one substrate and fastened to the flow substrate body by a pair of fasteners that are inserted through the flow substrate body from the component attachment surface of the flow substrate body and that maintain the manifold conduit port in sealing engagement with the manifold connection port.
