Abstract
A divisional-type thermal printhead comprises an elongate support member, and a crow of unit head substrates each fixed on the support member and carrying a resistor line extending longitudinally of the support member. A pair of V-shaped boundary spaces is formed between each two adjacent unit head substrates to extend transversely from the resistor line in opposite directions. A resin spacer is formed in each of the boundary spaces to prevent warping or bending of the printhead.

A divisional-type thermal printhead comprising:
- an elongate support member;
- a row of unit head substrates fixed on the support member, each of the unit head substrates carrying a resistor line extending longitudinally of the support member;
- and
- a pair of boundary spaces formed between each adjacent two of the unit head substrates, the pair of boundary spaces flaring in opposite directions from the resistor line of each of said unit head substrates of the adjacent two of the unit head substrates;
- wherein a resin spacer is formed in each of the boundary spaces in bonding contact with said each adjacent two of the unit head substrates.

A divisional-type thermal printhead comprising:
- an elongate support member;
- a row of unit head substrates fixed on the support member, each of the unit head substrates carrying a resistor line extending longitudinally of the support member;
- a first row of presser covers mounted to the support member along one longitudinal edge thereof;
- and
- a second row of presser covers mounted to the support member along another longitudinal edge thereof, wherein the first and second rows of presser covers cover said row of unit head substrates,
- wherein a boundary between each adjacent two of the first row presser covers deviates from a boundary between each adjacent two of the second row presser covers in a direction extending longitudinally of the support member.
