Abstract
An apparatus for detecting deflection of a charged ink droplet for use in an ink-jet printer is provided. The present apparatus comprises a support member and an electrode housing containing therein an electrode means for detecting the charge of the ink droplet connected to the support member through a link mechanism, and thus the housing may move relative to the support member. The present apparatus also comprises an adjusting screw which may change the position of the housing relative to the support member after mounting the support member to the base frame of an ink-jet printer. Accordingly, mounting of the present apparatus is greatly facilitated and the electrode assembly may be set in position without difficulty.
