More Information
Summary:A printer ink supply system includes a docking station 10 (Fig.2) having separated T-shaped keying members 35,37,45 and another docking station having complementary shaped separated keying members (39,41,43,Fig.1). The docking stations can be arranged in a top to bottom stacked relationship 30 (Fig.4) when one of the keying members 45 on the docking station is interlocked with a keying member 43 on the other docking station. The keying members are distributed on the top, bottom and side walls of both docking stations which enable the two to be interlocked in top to bottom or side to side relationships. The docking stations are interchangeable and any number can be joined in vertical or horizontal relationships, or in combinations of vertical and horizontal relationships (20,40,Figs.3,5).
