The moving unit is pivotally disposed at the supporting frame, the moving unit to pivot in a first direction to completely mount the ink cartridge from a temporary mounting position in the receptacle and to compress the latching unit. The jointing portion is fixedly positioned in a bent state due to a recovery force of the compressed latching unit, and the moving unit pivots in a second direction, opposite to the first direction to permit the latching unit to return to the uncompressed state.
