Abstract
Example ink tank parts are disclosed in examples herein. An example apparatus includes a container defining an internal volume including an aperture to provide access to the internal volume; a cap to be coupled to the container via a snap fit connection; a projection on a first one of the container and the cap; and a channel defined by a second one the container and the cap, when the cap is coupled to the container, the projection is disposed within the channel to limit rotational movement of the cap with respect to the container.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a container defining an internal volume including an aperture to provide access to the internal volume;
- a cap to be coupled to the container via a snap fit connection;
- a projection on a first one of the container and the cap;
- and
- a channel defined by a second one the container and the cap;
- when the cap is coupled to the container, the projection being disposed within the channel to limit rotational movement of the cap with respect to the container.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- positioning an ink supply tube within an internal volume of a container, the ink supply tube being coupled to a cap;
- and
- coupling the cap to the container via a snap fit connection, the coupling to dispose a projection of the cap within a channel of the container to fix a rotational orientation of the cap relative to the container.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a container including an aperture to provide access to an internal volume of the container, the container including first and second snap ridges radially spaced about the aperture, a first stop being disposed between first ends of the first and second snap ridges, a second stop being disposed between second ends of the first and second snap ridges;
- and
- a cap including third and fourth snap ridges, the third snap ridge radially spaced from the fourth snap ridge, the first, second, third, and fourth snap ridges to interact to couple the cap to the container, the third snap ridge to be disposed within a channel defined by the first and second stops to limit rotational movement of the cap relative to the container.
