ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (500) for mounting a printhead (501) relative to a horizontal surface (508). The apparatus (500) comprises an anchor block (502) mounted on the horizontal surface (508); as well as a bottom clamp member (504) and a top clamp member (506) between which the printhead (54) is sandwiched. The bottom clamp member (504) has a first region pivotally attached to the anchor block (502), a central region (530) for contacting at least a part of the printhead (501), and a distal region. The central region (530) of the bottom clamp member (504) is substantially "V" shaped, extends below a plane of the horizontal surface (508), and has an upperside shaped to receive a bottom of the printhead (54). The first region of the bottom clamp member (504) comprises two yoke legs (512) pivotally connected to the anchor block (502). A pivot rod (522) extends between the two yoke legs (512) of the bottom clamp member (504), and the top clamp member (506) is pivotal about the said pivot rod (522).
