A liquid container for supplying a liquid to a liquid ejection apparatus comprises: a liquid chamber provided to store the liquid; an air chamber connected with the liquid chamber to introduce the outside air into the liquid chamber with consumption of the liquid in the liquid chamber; an open-air hole provided to introduce the outside air into the air chamber; and a liquid inlet provided to fill the liquid into the liquid chamber, wherein the liquid inlet is located at a lower position than the open-air hole, in a filling attitude of the liquid container in which the liquid is filled into the liquid chamber.

According to one aspect of the invention, a remanufacturing method of a liquid container forms an inlet in a certain area, for example, a buffer chamber, other than a specific section including liquid reservoirs and flow paths adjoining to and directly communicating with a bubble trap flow path in the liquid container. In the state of closing a liquid feeder and opening an air open structure, the remanufacturing method injects a liquid through the inlet to fill a space in the upstream of the inlet with the liquid. In the state of opening the liquid feeder and closing the air open structure, the remanufacturing method injects the liquid through the inlet to fill a space in the downstream of the inlet with the liquid. The remanufacturing process seals the inlet after completion of the injection of the liquid. This arrangement enables the liquid to be refilled into the liquid container without damaging the functions of the liquid container.

A liquid storage container prevents sucking of air bubbles into a liquid guide path, even when the amount of liquid remaining in the liquid storage chamber is reduced. The amount of liquid discarded, without being used, is reduced. A liquid storage container includes liquid storage chambers from which liquid is guided to a liquid-supplying unit through a liquid guide path and a liquid remaining-amount sensor for detecting the presence/absence of the liquid on the basis of variation in residual vibration that occurs when air bubbles enter the liquid guide path. The liquid storage chambers have concavities in the bottom walls thereof. Liquid outlets that communicate with the liquid guide path are formed at the bottom of the concavities, respectively. Therefore, air layers in the liquid storage chambers are prevented from coming into contact with the liquid outlets, respectively, before the remaining liquid does.

Liquid packs provided with the liquid leading members are stored in a container case that is constituted by fitting a case main body portion and a lid case in fitting portions, support portions, which positions the liquid leading members so as to be opposed to liquid introducing members attached to a cartridge inserting portion, are provided on a front surface of the container case, the fitting portions traverses the support portions, and space portions having a gap larger than a gap formed in the fitting portions are formed near the support portions in the fitting portions due to the capillarity is retained by the space portions and never flows to the fitting portions further extending from the space portions.

An ink jet type recording apparatus comprises a connection member which has a passage for leading ink to a recording head from an ink cartridge. In the passage, a valve member having a magnetic body is provided. A rotation member has a permanent magnet and is rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the rotation member is located in the first position, an attraction that can move the valve member in an opening direction of the passage acts between the magnet and magnetic body, and hence, the valve member opens the passage. When the rotation member is located in the second position, the attraction that can move the valve member does not act between the magnet and magnetic body, and hence, the valve member closes the passage.
