Abstract:
A liquid ejection apparatus, including: first piezoelectric elements arranged on an element-disposed surface in a first direction; a protective cover covering the first piezoelectric elements and including a top wall portion and two side wall portions connected thereto; first wires drawn respectively from the first piezoelectric elements to an outside of the protective cover in a second direction parallel to the element-disposed surface and orthogonal to the first direction and extending on an outer surface of the top wall portion via an outer surface of a corresponding side wall portion; first terminals disposed on the outer surface of the top wall portion and connected respectively to the first wires; and a driver electrically connected to the first terminals, wherein a distance in the first direction between any adjacent two of the first wires on an outer surface of the protective cover is larger than that on the element-disposed surface.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid ejection apparatus, comprising:\n a plurality of piezoelectric elements disposed on an element-disposed surface of a flow-passage defining member so as to be arranged in a first direction; a protective cover disposed on the element-disposed surface so as to cover the plurality of piezoelectric elements and including a top wall portion opposed to the plurality of piezoelectric elements and two side wall portions connected respectively to opposite end portions of the top wall portion in a second direction parallel to the element-disposed surface and orthogonal to the first direction; a plurality of wires drawn respectively from the plurality of piezoelectric elements to an outside of the protective cover in the second direction and extending on an outer surface of the top wall portion of the protective cover, the plurality of wires comprising (a) a plurality of first wires extending toward a first side of the protective cover in the second direction and (b) a plurality of second wires extending toward a second side, opposite to the first side of the protective cover in the second direction, the plurality of first wires comprising a plurality of lower portions extending on the element-disposed surface of the flow-passage defining member and a plurality of upper portions extending on the outer surface of the top portion of the protective cover; a plurality of terminals disposed on the outer surface of the top wall portion and connected respectively to the plurality of wires; and a driver electrically connected to the plurality of terminals, wherein a distance in the first direction between two of the plurality of upper portions of two of the plurality of first wires is larger than a distance in the first direction between two of the plurality of lower portions of the two of the plurality of first wires.
