摘要:
An ink remaining amount detecting device, and an ink jet recording apparatus having such a device, for detecting when a predetermined amount of ink remains in an ink supply passage of an ink jet apparatus. This device includes a diaphragm, supporting member for fixedly supporting a circumference of the diaphragm, at least two pawl members having respective first ends fixed to a position substantially equidistant from the diaphragm's center, and extending away from the diaphragm to respective second ends constituting respective pawls, which have respective pawl end and base portions, the pawl members being resiliently flexible toward the center of the diaphragm. A coil spring has a diameter larger than a distance outside of the pawl base portions, this coil spring extending around an outside of the pawl members, a ring has an internal diameter larger than a distance between the outside of the pawl end portions and smaller than a distance between the outside of the pawl base portions and larger than the coil spring's outer diameter, so that the spring is compressed between the supporting member and ring abutted to the pawl base portions. A pair of electric contacts are disposed so as to make electric connection as a consequence of the diaphragm's occupying a predetermined position.

A recording apparatus comprises a recording head moved in a predetermined direction relative to a recording medium; a shaft member extended in the predetermined direction for rotatably supporting a carriage on which the recording head is mounted and for guiding movement of the recording head in the predetermined direction; a support member extended in the predetermined direction for supporting the carriage in cooperation with the shaft member; and a changing mechanism a distance between the recording head and the recording medium by changing a height of the carriage, the height being measured from the supporting member. In the case that the recording medium is made of materials, for example, having a poor property in absorbing ink, the operator can adjust the distance between the recording head and the recording medium to be large enough by using the above mentioned mechanism so that the recording medium, which may have warped due to ink absorption, will not rub against the recording head.

A recording apparatus effects a recording operation by scanning a recording medium in a predetermined direction with a recording head provided with discharge openings for recording liquid. A cap member is capable of covering a face with discharge openings of said recording head. A transmission member causes said cap member to cover said face with discharge openings in response to a motion setting said recording head to a predetermined position; and engaging members consisting of a protruding part are provided on one of said recording head and a carriage supporting said head. The protruding part engages a receiving part for said protruding part formed on the other of said recording head and said carriage, wherein said protruding part and said receiving part mutually engage at two points when said cap member covers said face with discharge openings.

A liquid storage container includes a supply port for supplying the liquid, and liquid path forming structure provided within the liquid container for preventing direct backflow of liquid in the container to the supply port. The liquid path forming structure is detachable from the liquid container and includes a projecting member having a sloped surface provided below the supply port. The liquid path forming structure also includes structure for defining a first flow path for passing liquid therethrough. This structure includes a lowermost section of the sloped surface and defines a first port. The liquid path forming structure also includes structure for defining a second flow path for passing liquid into the container. This structure includes a portion of the projecting member and defines a second port. The second port is in communication with a lowermost portion of the second flow path, and the first port is in communication with an intermediate portion of the second flow path.

An image forming apparatus has a paper guide, a feed roller and a pinch roller for feeding and guiding a recording medium. The pinch roller is biased to normally be pressed agaisnt the feed roller and can be separated from the feed roller so that the recording medium can be introduced between them. The paper guide comprises two guide members that contact respective side edges of the recording medium when the pinch roller is separated from the feed roller.

An image formation apparatus includes a cap for a recording unit and a cover for a paper feed unit, both of which can be opened and closed. Levers maintain the cap and cover in their closed positions and a handle releases them from such positions. A sealing member closes a mounting portion of the handle to provide dust proof properties.

An ultra-pure ozone water comprising an increased amount of an organic carbon capable of suppressing the reduction of the half-life period of ozone; and a method for producing the ultra-pure ozone water which comprises adding an organic solvent containing the above organic carbon to an ultra-pure ozone water containing a trace amount of the organic carbon. The above ultra-pure ozone water exhibits an increased half-life period of ozone, and thus, when used in cleaning a semiconductor substrate, allows the cleaning with an ozone water having an enhanced content of ozone, which results in exhibiting an enhanced cleaning capability and cleaning efficiency for an organic impurities, metallic impurities and the like adhered to the substrate, due to enhanced oxidizing action of ozone.
