ABSTRACT:
A carrier locking apparatus of an inkjet printer having: a latch groove on a moving carrier carrying an ink cartridge; a locking lever, installed at a home position of the carrier, with a first end having a latch, and a second end having a pivoting lever; and a toggle spring joined to the locking lever's second end selectively applying elastic force to the locking lever to maintain each of two pivoted states. When the carrier moves to the home position, the carrier pushes the pivoting lever to pivot the locking lever in a first direction, inserting the latch into the latch groove to lock the carrier. When the carrier moves from the home position, the locking lever pivots in a second direction opposite the first direction, the latch disengages from the latch groove to unlock the carrier, and the locking lever pivots in the second direction.
