HANDHELD AND/OR MOUNTABLE FLUID-EJECTION DEVICE RECEPTIVE TO TIP CONTAINING FLUID AND FLUID-EJECTION MECHANISM

摘要

A fluid-ejection device (100) includes a handheld and/or mountable enclosure (104), a pneumatic fitting (220), an electrical connector (209), and a controller (208). The pneumatic fitting extends from and/or through the enclosure and is receptive to placement of a tip (102) thereon. The tip contains a supply of fluid, a fluid-ejection mechanism (510), and an electrical connector (512) for the fluid-ejection mechanism. The electrical connector (209) extends from and/or through the enclosure and is receptive to electrical coupling of the electrical connector (512) of the tip. The controller is situated within the enclosure to cause the tip to eject the fluid via the electrical coupling of the electrical connectors and the fluid-ejection device.
