Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fluid dispenser is disclosed herein. An example of such a fluid dispenser includes a housing configured to store a quantity of fluid and an ejection assembly configured to controllably emit the fluid through a nozzle. The fluid dispenser also includes a fluid chamber configured both to supply a quantity of the fluid to the ejection assembly and to define a fluid flow path between the housing and the ejection assembly. The fluid dispenser further includes a filter positioned in the fluid flow path and configured both to conduct the fluid from the housing to the fluid chamber and to restrain particles in the fluid from entering the fluid chamber. The filter is further configured to define a bubble flow path that facilitates conduction of bubbles from the fluid chamber to the housing. Additional features of this fluid dispenser are disclosed herein, as are other examples of fluid dispensers.
