Abstract (en)
The present disclosure relates to a replaceable ink container 12 for providing ink to an inkjet printing system 10. The replaceable ink container 12 includes an engagement feature 42 disposed on the leading edge 72 and configured for engagement with corresponding engagement features 48 associated with the inkjet printing system 10. The engagement features 48 define a pivot axis 92 about which the replaceable ink container 12 pivots during insertion into the inkjet printing system 10. Also included with the replaceable ink container 12 is a plurality of electrical contacts 78 disposed on a leading edge 72 relative to an insertion direction. The plurality of electrical contacts 78 are disposed on the replaceable ink container 12 below the pivot axis 92 so that pivoting the replaceable ink container 12 about the pivot axis 92 during insertion causes the plurality of electrical contacts 78 on the ink container 12 to move toward corresponding electrical contacts 64 associated with the printing system 10 to establish electrical interconnection therebetween. <IMAGE>
