Title: Liquid jet recorder

Abstract: A liquid jet recorder with at least one nozzle which is connected to a pressure medium conduit for ejection of an electrically-conductive recording liquid onto a recording carrier, with at least one control electrode of porous material encompassing the liquid jet disintegrating into drops which leads to a suction conduit for the recording liquid, and a signal source for charging of the liquid connectable between the control electrode and the liquid jet for charging the drops so that they repel each other and disintegrate into a vapor cloud adapted to be aspirated through the control electrode. For effecting cleaning of the electrode and its support, the suction pad which is connected to an actuating arrangement, by means of which the suction pad may be moved from an inactive position in which it is located in a spaced relationship to the jet outlet side of the control electrode, so as to be pressed against the jet outlet side and the electrode support.
