摘要:
A liquid container includes a container body (2) formed with a liquid supply port (3), and a container-side fixing structure (7) which releasably regulates movement of the liquid container in an outward pulling direction in cooperation with apparatus-side fixing structure provided for the container mounting part in a state where the liquid container is mounted onto the container mounting part. The container-side fixing structure (7) has a guide groove (16) into which a fixing pin of the apparatus-side fixing structure can be inserted, and which guides the fixing pin in mounting and removal operations of the liquid container to and from the container mounting part. The guide groove (16) includes a fixing part (18) which engages the fixing pin to regulate the movement of the liquid container (1) in the pulling direction in the state where the liquid container is mounted to the container mounting part. A slanted entrance surface (22) is located at an entrance part of the guide groove, which slanted entrance surface slants so that a groove depth decreases in the movement direction of the fixing pin that relatively moves in association with an inserting operation of the liquid container into the container mounting part.

A liquid cartridge (100) is provided that supplies liquid to a liquid ejecting apparatus by being mounted in the liquid ejecting apparatus. The liquid cartridge includes a cartridge body having a side face in which an opening (122) is formed; and a flexible film (110,130) for forming an ink accommodating chamber that is a closed space for accommodating the liquid within the cartridge body by covering the opening of the cartridge body. The flexible film is caused to deform toward the ink accommodating chamber by atmospheric pressure that acts on the flexible film when the liquid cartridge is got out from a vacuum bag in which the liquid cartridge is packaged, thereby increasing the pressure in the ink accommodating chamber.

The present invention provides a liquid container which has a check valve for preventing a flow of outside air into its inside and which is capable of maintaining the performance of the check valve constant. An ink pack (25) includes a bag portion (36), which holds an outlet portion by heat-welding. An internal space (S) is formed in the bag portion (36), and ink is contained therein. The outlet portion has a first flow path forming component (41). A first recess portion (47) is recessed from the one side surface (41a) of the first flow path forming component (41). First and second ink flow paths (46, 51), which communicate with the internal space (S), extend from a bottom surface (47a) of this first recess portion (47). A valve seat (53) is formed in a projecting shape so as to surround the second ink flow path (51). A laminate film (36a) sealingly closes the first recess portion (47). Thus, a valve body accommodating chamber (55) is formed. The valve body accommodating chamber (55) accommodates a first valve body (58). The valve body (58) and the valve seat (53) form a first valve device (59).

There is provided an ink cartridge which is formed from an ink-filled ink pack (24) and a hermetic outer shell case for housing the ink pack and which supplies ink to a recording head (6) by means of application of air pressure to a space between the outer shell case and the ink pack. The outer shell case is formed by coupling an upper case (51) and a lower case (41) together. The ink-filled ink pack is housed in the lower case, and the upper case is laid on the lower case from above. The upper and lower cases are hermetically sealed by vibratory welding or heat welding, thus constituting the ink cartridge.

A plurality of terminals are provided on a circuit board of an ink cartridge, and a plurality of lines are formed by contact portions of the plurality of terminals. In a first line among the plurality of lines, contact portions of two terminals for detecting attachment are arranged, and a contact portion of a power supply terminal is arranged therebetween. The first line may be located at a leading side when the ink cartridge is moved in a predetermined direction and is mounted on a printing device, or the first line may be the line closest to an opening of an ink supply port, or the first line may be the line closest to an ink supply needle.

A liquid container comprises a liquid supply port provided in a bottom wall, a first chamber configured to contain a liquid, a second chamber configured to contain the liquid and to include at least one sub-chamber having a smaller dimension in the X direction than that of the first chamber, a partition wall configured to part the first chamber from the second chamber, and a connecting hole configured to connect the first chamber with the second chamber. The second chamber is connected with the liquid supply port, and the first chamber is connected with the liquid supply port via the connecting hole and the second chamber. The liquid contained in the first chamber is flowed from the connecting hole into the second chamber and is subsequently introduced through the sub-chamber to the liquid supply port.

There is provided a container unit located outside of a liquid ejection apparatus and configured to supply a liquid to the liquid ejection apparatus via a connection path. The container unit includes: a liquid container configured to contain the liquid, the liquid container having a liquid fill port for pouring the liquid into the liquid container; and a bottom cover member attached to the liquid container and configured to form a bottom face that comes into contact with a mounting surface of the container unit in a liquid supply attitude of the liquid container, in which the liquid is supplied to the liquid ejection apparatus. The bottom cover member has a liquid retainer provided on an opposed face to retain the liquid flow into the opposed face, the opposed face being provided on an opposite side to the bottom face and being opposed to the liquid container.
