An ink container for storing the ink to be supplied to an ink jet head includes an ink container shell having at least a first and a second shell portion; a porous member disposed in the ink container, having a first and a second porous member portion which are disposed within the first and the second portion, respectively; wherein the first shell portion containing the first porous member portion is provided with an ink supplying portion, at which the ink container is connected to the ink jet head; and the second container shell portion containing the second porous member portion is provided with an air vent; and the first and the second container shell portion are joined to form the ink container.
摘要:
An ink container for storing ink and an ink jet apparatus having such an ink container is provided. The ink container has an ink tank providing an enclosed space within an inner wall of the tank. The ink container is filled with inner and outer porous members having open pores for holding ink. The inner porous members are disposed within the enclosed space so as to only contact and press against other inner or outer porous members or both. The outer porous members are disposed within the enclosed space so as to contact and press against the inner porous members and the inner wall of the ink tank. This arrangement of inner and outer porous members within the ink container prevents an uneven compression distribution which occurs when conventional porous members are inserted into ink containers or when ink containers containing such conventional porous members suffer impacts. Further, the porous members can fill the entire ink container regardless of the shape of its interior, thus reducing the amount of non-dischargeable ink and leakage.

A replaceable tank for an ink cartridge used in a bubble jet printer comprises a container formed by side walls, top and bottom walls connected to the side walls. At least one ink supply port is provided in the bottom wall of the container and is disposed for supplying ink from at least one ink chamber in the container into a corresponding ink tapping pipe in the ink cartridge. The container includes a locking member on one of the container side walls for engaging a guide groove in the cartridge, the container being configured for insertion into an open top of an ink tank holder formed by the cartridge, with the bottom wall of the container facing downward and the side walls of the container aligned with side walls of the ink cartridge. The locking member is constructed for securing the container in place in the ink tank holder with the ink supply port connecting with the corresponding ink tapping pipe.
摘要:
A liquid storing container employable for an ink jet recording apparatus includes a housing, a porous ink absorbing member received in the housing, and a first filter coming in contact with the ink absorbing member. The liquid storing container is detachably connected to an ink jet recording head having a second filter disposed in a liquid flow path thereof. The liquid storing container is constructed such that the volume between the first filter and the second filter, a size of each filter, a condition for compressively receiving the ink absorbing member in the housing, and an inner structure of the liquid storing container satisfactorily coincide with predetermined conditions.
