ABSTRACT:
An improved modular carriage assembly for an inkjet printer including: a carriage with at least two stalls molded therein for holding a plurality of inkjet pens; and a removable frame insertable in a compartment in the carriage adjacent to the stall for holding an electrical circuit. In a specific embodiment the improved modular carriage assembly includes at least two extensions molded onto the removable frame. When the removable frame is inserted into the compartment each of the extensions is inserted into a respective stall. A method of assembling a carriage assembly for an inkjet printer with inkjet pens includes the steps of: attaching an electrical circuit to a frame; positioning a unitary clamp on a carriage; and installing the frame with attached electrical circuit to the carriage. Installing the frame on the carriage holds the unitary clamp in place on the carriage. Another specific method of assembling a carriage assembly includes the steps of: removably attaching a circuit to the frame; removably attaching an interconnect device to the circuit; and wrapping the interconnect device over the frame for interconnecting the circuit to inkjet pens. The improved modular carriage assembly has reduced cost and is easier to assemble, align and service without the need for any special tools.
