Abstract
The illustrated ink jet (19) includes a chamber (22) containing a quantity of ink (54) discharged through a nozzle orifice (28) in the form of droplets (84). The ink is discharged in response to movement of an actuator positioned over a chamber (22) opening. The actuator (50) includes a piezoceramic plate (60), the surfaces of which are covered by electrodes (62, 64). Soldered to the electrode (62) is a bending plate (56) which is secured by adhesive (58) to a flexible sheet of insulating material (52). Control signals are fed through conductors (72, 59) to the electrodes (62, 64).
