Printers have heads.
Cabezal is a term with a dozen meanings in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). Before entering fully into establishing its meaning, it is important to know its etymological origin: in this case, we can determine that it derives from the Vulgar Latin capitia , which can be translated as “head.”
The concept is usually used with reference to a certain sector or part of a machine . A head, in this framework, can be the part of a tape recorder or other device that is used to record or read magnetic tapes.
Examples of head
A VCR , also called video recorder , has heads for playing VHS: cassettes with audiovisual tapes.
The part of a shaver where the blades are located is also called the head. In the case of electric shavers with rotating blades, they may have two or three heads. The blades rotate and, as the hairs enter the small perforations in the head, they shave.
In the peripherals known as printers there are also heads. We can name the print head that exists in ink printers, whose function is to transfer the ink from that device to the paper. To carry it out, it is connected to a precision motor.
It must be taken into account that if the printer is not used regularly, this head can dry out, which can also happen if it is not maintained and cleaned properly every certain period of time.
The shower head , on the other hand, is the nozzle that, thanks to its holes, allows the distribution of water at a certain angle. The amount of water that falls on the showering person's head thus depends in part on the shower head. When the water is hard, the head can become blocked by sediment: this is why it is important to keep it clean.
The shower head is the nozzle that makes the distribution of water possible.
Other uses of the term
Headboard, finally, is a concept that can be used as a synonym for headboard (the piece of furniture that is placed in the part of the bed where the pillows are located) or headboard (the structure of silk or leather straps that is installed on the head of an equine in order to hold the bit).
With respect to headboards as synonyms for bed headboards, we have to point out that they can be found in a wide variety of materials on the market. Thus, there are those made of wood , those made of wrought iron , those made of stone , those made of fabric ... These should be chosen based on the decorative style that you want the room to have. For example, wooden ones can be used for rooms with an ethnic or rustic feel while leather headboards can be ideal for elegant and sophisticated rooms, without forgetting iron ones, appropriate for an industrial style.
