Printhead carriers and adapters

1. A printhead carrier, comprising:

a base to carry a printhead assembly;

a first pivot mechanism to pivot the base about a first axis; and

a second pivot mechanism to pivot a connector about a second axis different than the first axis, the printhead assembly to be removably coupled to the connector.

2. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first axis is parallel to the second axis.

3. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an opening in the base, the connector to pivot in the opening.

4. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 1 , wherein:

the first axis is defined by the first pivot mechanism; and

the second axis is defined by a shaft coupled to the second pivot mechanism.

5. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 4 , wherein the shaft is coupled to the base via a biasing element.

6. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 5 , wherein the biasing element comprises a first portion coupled to the shaft and a second portion coupled to the base.

7. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 6 , wherein the biasing element comprises a third portion positioned in an aperture of the base.

8. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 5 , wherein the biasing element is a first biasing element, and further comprising a second biasing element coupling the shaft to the base.

9. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 5 , wherein a portion of the biasing element is positioned between an extension portion of the second pivot mechanism and a retainer.

10. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an adapter including the connector, a power input, and a data input, wherein the connector includes a plurality of outputs.

11. A printhead carrier as defined in claim 10 , wherein the adapter further includes an alignment arm to guide engagement of the connector with the printhead assembly.
