Abstract:
A hierarchically aligned inkjet printhead includes a plurality of printhead units and a base holding the printhead units. Each printhead unit includes a plurality of drop ejector array devices, each of which includes at least one drop ejector array; a first butting edge having a first mechanical alignment feature; and a second butting edge having a second mechanical alignment feature. Each printhead unit includes an ink manifold that is fluidically connected to each of the plurality of drop ejector array devices in the printhead unit; and a mounting member to which the drop ejector array devices are affixed. A pair of opposing alignment edges of each printhead unit are substantially parallel to the butting edges of the drop ejector array devices. A first of the opposing alignment edges includes an outwardly-extending projection, and a second of the opposing alignment edges includes a niche that is substantially complementary to the projection.

Claim (Index 16):
A hierarchically aligned inkjet printhead comprising:\n a plurality of printhead units, each printhead unit including:\n at least one drop ejector array device, each drop ejector array device including:\n a substrate having a substrate surface; \n at least one drop ejector array formed on the substrate surface; \n a first butting edge having a first mechanical alignment feature; and \n a second butting edge having a second mechanical alignment feature; \n \n an ink manifold that is fluidically connected to each of the at least one drop ejector array devices in the printhead unit; and \n a pair of opposing alignment edges that are substantially parallel to the first butting edge and the second butting edge of the at least one drop ejector array device, wherein a first of the opposing alignment edges includes an outwardly-extending projection, and wherein a second of the opposing alignment edges includes a niche that is substantially complementary to the first projection, and wherein a second closeness of fit between the projection and the niche is looser than a first closeness of fit between the first mechanical alignment feature and the second mechanical alignment feature; and \n a base having a support surface that holds the plurality of printhead units.
