When an ink cartridge is installed in a normal direction, the projection of a holder is first fitted into a recessed part of a cartridge in a process of push down, succeeding push down is enabled and an ink supply port is fitted to an ink supply needle, however, if an ink cartridge is installed in an improper state, the bottom hits on the projection formed so that it is wide and push down is interrupted. Hereby, the ink supply needle can be prevented from being damaged due to the installation in an improper direction of the ink cartridge.

An ink cartridge comprising a container body (3) housing an ink absorbing member (6') so as to absorb ink, a lid member (4), and a spacer (30) pressing the ink absorbing member (6') between the lid member (4) and the ink absorbing member (6'). It is possible to decrease the volume of the ink absorbing member (6') without changing structure in the vicinity of an ink supply port by using the same shape of a container body (3) and a lid member (4).

A method of refilling an ink cartridge for use in an ink-jet recorder comprising the steps of: positioning an ink bag (1) on a surface (40c); inserting an ink needle (44) into a port (5) of the ink bag; discharging the ink in the ink bag; and subsequently charging the ink bag with a specified quantity of ink. The ink may be discharged by applying negative pressure via the ink needle while the ink bag is compressed by press plates (45) and the ink bag may be charged in a vacuum environment. Moreover, the ink for charging the ink bag may be fed by a gas-liquid separation unit (52) for substantially removing gas from the ink.

A method of manufacturing an ink cartridge for use in an ink jet recorder including positioning a container body having a bottom wall and an opening on a pallet such that the bottom wall faces upward, the container body including a porous member, a foam chamber for accommodating the porous member therein, and an ink supply port, having an inlet formed in the bottom surface of the foam chamber and an outlet; inserting packing into the ink supply port; sealing the ink supply port outlet; resetting the container body on the pallet by turning the container body upside down such that the opening faces upward; affixing a filter to the ink supply port inlet; inserting the porous member into the foam chamber; bonding a cover to the opening of the container body; injecting ink into the foam chamber; and sealing the cover.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing an ink cartridge for use in an ink jet recorder, comprising the step of providing an ink bag having a top end, and a bottom end below the top end, the top end being open and the bottom end having an ink feed port therein; moving the ink bag from a first position near a top edge thereof and positioning the ink bag in a vacuum chamber; depressurizing the vacuum chamber; charging a selected quantity of ink into the ink bag; sealing the open end of the ink bag at a second position below the first position; pressing the sealed portion of the ink bag to a selected thickness with press plates; sealing the bag in the pressed position at a third position bolow the second position; and cutting the ink bag between the second and third positions.
