A
syringe is a simple piston pump
consisting of a plunger that fits
tightly in a tube. The plunger can be
pulled and pushed along inside a
cylindrical tube (the barrel), allowing
the syringe to take in and expel a
liquid or gas through an orifice at the
open end of the tube. The open end of
the syringe may be fitted with a
hypodermic needle, a nozzle, or tubing
to help direct the flow into and out of
the barrel. Syringes are often used to
administer injections, apply compounds
such as glue or lubricant, and measure
liquids.
Here, it is used to take in the
sublimation inks and expel them into the
CISS. |
