摘要:
An ink cartridge (200) is used mounted in a recording device with a hollow needle (82), a lever, a protruding wall, and an optical sensor (170). The lever and the optical sensor are located on either side of the hollow needle, but closer to the opening through which the ink cartridge is mounted. The ink cartridge is formed with two grooves open (236,240) to the front and lower surfaces of the ink cartridge at positions that correspond to the protruding wall and the optical sensor. A light blocking member is disposed in the groove that corresponds to the optical sensor. When the ink cartridge is mounted into the recording device, one groove accommodates and is guided by the protruding wall. The other groove accommodates the sensor so that the light blocking member protrudes into the optical sensor. Also, the front surface of the ink cartridge abuts the lever, which uncovers the hollow needle so that ink supply hole in the front surface of the ink cartridge is inserted with the hollow needle.

Inner wall surfaces of the pair of side walls which are continuously and integrally extended from an opening of an ink tank and confront each other in an ink cartridge have a flat shape. In each side wall, a thickness of a lower portion of the wall is set to be smaller than a thickness of an upper portion. Each cartridge is mounted with the lower portion of the ink tank on a cartridge mount portion between respective partition walls formed on a bottom plate of a head holder. Further, the width of the upper portion of the cartridge is larger than the width of the lower portion. Therefore, the ink cartridge cannot be mounted on the cartridge mount portion incorrectly.

A cartridge (30) includes a main body (31) with a chamber (36) formed therein that receives an imaging material, a circuit board (81) having at least one opening (85, 86) formed through the circuit board (81); and an electrode (82, 83, 84) disposed on the circuit board (81). The main body (31) includes a support surface (39) that supports the circuit board (81), a first protrusion (61, 62) protruding from the support surface (39) and that contacting a first surface (87) of the circuit board (81). The first surface (87) of the circuit board (81) extends in a direction perpendicular to the support surface (39). The main body (31) also includes a second protrusion (63, 64) protruding from the support surface (39) and disposed in the at least one opening (85, 86). The second protrusion (63, 64) includes an end portion that covers a portion of the circuit board. In addition, a method for manufacturing the cartridge is disclosed.

摘要:
An ink chamber (12) is defined in at least frames (101, 102, 103, 104), and the ink chamber has a frame for storing ink therein, and a portion (142A) which is irradiated with light and extends from a first wall (102) forming a part of the outer periphery of the frame in such a first direction (50). The light-irradiated portion is equipped with a first member (73), a second member (62) and a third member (148) provided between the first member and the second member in the first direction, and the first member, the second member and the third member are located on a line extending in the first direction.
摘要:
There is provided a fluid cartridge including a fluid container. The fluid container includes a fluid chamber configured to store a fluid and an fluid outlet passage configured to supply a fluid therethrough from an interior of the fluid chamber to an exterior of the fluid chamber. The fluid container further includes a first flexible sheet portion and a second flexible sheet portion. The first flexible sheet portion has a first surface facing an interior of the fluid container and a second surface opposite the first surface and facing an exterior of the fluid container, wherein the first flexible sheet portion is configured to deform when a pressure difference (P2-P1) between a pressure (P1) acting on the first surface and a pressure (P2) acting on the second surface becomes equal to or greater than a first value. The second flexible sheet portion has a third surface facing the interior of the fluid container and a fourth surface opposite the third surface and facing the exterior of the fluid container, wherein the second flexible film is configured to deform when a pressure difference (P4-P3) between a pressure (P3) acting on the third surface and a pressure (P4) acting on the fourth surface becomes equal to or greater than a second value. The second value is greater than the first value.
